Tamanna Roy was never the kind of woman who let others decide her fate. A fearless businesswoman with a mind sharper than any contract, she built her own success-until one call from her father shattered everything. Summoned back to India under false pretenses, she discovers that her family's empire is on the brink of collapse, and the only way to save it is through an arranged engagement with Kabir Shekhawat-the ruthless, unreadable heir to a dynasty built on power and control.

Thrown into a world where every move is a calculated risk and trust is a luxury she can't afford, Tamanna refuses to be a pawn in someone else's game. But Kabir isn't just another obstacle-he's the one man who could either be her greatest downfall or her unexpected ally.

With secrets lurking in every shadow and enemies closing in from all sides, Tamanna must decide: does she surrender to fate, or does she rewrite it?

In a world where love and betrayal walk the same line, and slow-burning passion collides with ruthless ambition, The Bride's Gambit is a tale of deception, desire, and two people determined to take back control-even if it means destroying everything in their path.All Rights Reserved

The Thread That Breaks by storytellerkomal

In a world of broken threads, what does it take to stitch a new beginning?

In a world where power is everything, the Shekhawat men rule from the shadows-ruthless, untouchable, and hidden behind the façade of billion-dollar empires. Their secrets are buried deep, their sins masked behind tailored suits and cold stares. No one dares to cross them. Until they do. Yashika, Meher, Trisha, and Tanishka-four women bound to the Shekhawat brothers by fate, deception, and secrets too dangerous to unveil. Each step they take, each vow they make, pulls them deeper into a world where love is a weapon and loyalty is a curse. Yashika fights against a marriage that was never meant to be hers. Meher walks a thin line between silence and rebellion. Trisha plays a game even she isn't sure she can win. Tanishka, the wildcard, is the one threat they never saw coming. But in a world where betrayal is inevitable and love is a dangerous illusion-who will survive, and who will burn?
