Alankrita, orphaned twice, had slowly begun rebuilding her life. Her scars, still raw and without respite bleed on every sketch she creates.
Caught in a scandal where she was at the wrong place at the wrong time, she becomes the talk of the city until Aatreya Raazdaan, the chief minister for decades, fears losing his position and turns the wheels and announces he acknowledges the crime by his party man and invites her into his family as his daughter-in-law.
It is not a choice but an ultimatum.
Finding herself married to Harshavardhan Raazdaan, the only son of Aatreya, whom the former despises with passion, she is invisible to him, and he disregards her entirely. In an instant, her life is turned upside down.
Harshavardhan, finding himself tangled in this suffocating arrangement purely due to the threat of him losing everything, wants nothing to do with her ever.
Two strangers, controlled by the same man, just in different ways and forced to share a roof together-what if they are destroyed by the very beliefs they had built their lives on?

Anguish & Affection
"You took away my parents from me, stole my childhood, and crushed my heart like it was nothing. But yet, I feel something for you and my mind is still conflicted about our relationship." Atharv's words tore through the air, his voice trembling with rage. His eyes were ablaze with a mix of hurt and sorrow. Her breath stopped and her heart raced as dread filled her veins with ice. She had never imagined his words, not in her most wondrous dream or terrifying nightmare. This unexpected happening had drained the life out of her body, leaving her numb and broken. Killed his parents? How? Broke his heart? His complaint had confirmed her yesteryear fantasy of reigning his heart in a way that broke her own heart. The agony ripped through her bones until all that remained was an empty void where her heart once was. "You are no different than them - full of lies and deceit! My mind screams that you are nothing more than a puppet master pulling strings, pushing buttons, playing with feelings like it doesn't matter. My family has already been broken beyond repair by your manipulative kind, and I won't let you do the same to me. Not again." # 258 dark out of 123K stories # 384 heartbreak out of 151K storiesComplete

The Voice That Changed My World
Ishan had nothing to lose when he met Saloni. A shy boy from a small village, burdened by poverty but blessed with brilliance - Delhi was his new world, full of fear and unknown faces. And then, he heard her voice. A single "May I come in?" that changed everything. Before he even saw her face, his heart already belonged to her. Saloni Sharma had everything to lose when she met Ishan. Her parents' trust, her peace, her carefully built walls. For someone raised under strict eyes, talking to a boy was unthinkable - yet Ishan's kindness made her feel seen for the first time. What started as friendship soon turned into something deeper, something both beautiful and forbidden. But love, as they learned, can wound deeper than words. One rumor. One confession. One heartbreak. She walked away. He stayed shattered. Years later, fate brought them together again - only this time, he wasn't the same boy who once skipped meals to buy her a gift. He was successful. Strong. Silent. And she was the one in pain. Because destiny has its own way of healing hearts - sometimes through love, sometimes through regret, and sometimes... through forgiveness.Complete
