A novella.
Life is a gift. They say it begins with "B" and ends with "D"-Birth to Death. But what matters most is what lies between them: "C." Choice. The choice to create a good memory before it's too late.
Ian Chris has never felt in control of his own life. Moving to a new city, obeying his mother's expectations, and now-an arranged marriage he never agreed to. He thought maybe, just maybe, if he ended it all, he could finally be free.
But then came Emerson Hayes.
The girl who saw him at the edge of the bridge and changed everything.
"It's not about forcing happiness to ignite in your life, Ian. It's about not letting the sadness kill you."
With each quote she leaves behind, Ian begins to see life differently. In another world, in another time, maybe they could have been something more.
But when fate and choice collide, which one truly decides the ending?

He is the polar opposite of Maya. Smart, confident, and witty. He's often misunderstood for a bad boy, who has quite a handful of girls swooning over him. He's a carefree soul. He is the yin to her yang. What happens when they cross paths and Shawn unleashes Maya's dark secrets? Will he succeed in his mission to pull Maya out of her past, and show what life has to offer? But life is certainly not a bed of roses and nothing comes as easy. _______________________________________________________ They say love can overcome anything.

HIS MRS. RANAWAT |18+| ✓
"I. Will. Not. Fuck you..." He pulled me against his chest. There was no lust in his eyes, not even a hint of tease,until he smirked. "What I'll do with you is called love-making. I'll worship you like my goddess... Jaan." But the need,the desire in me,didn't even consider his words. I bit my lip and, pulling him dangerously close, I spoke, "But I'll fuck you... claim you... make you mine... until you beg for mercy. Until you scream my name, Mister Husband." And with that, my lips crashed against his. Clothes between us were discarded, bare bodies colliding, moans filling the space as I rode him. It was our first time..something I never knew I always needed. I needed him. He became my addiction. My everything. Every breath, every thought... I wanted to claim, ruin, and just keep him close to me. He is 37. She is 23. He's a virgin..she's not. He knows the world through his business files: calm, poised, and disciplined. She's the fire meant to burn his calm away-the chaos he never saw coming, the goddess he'll learn to worship. Trapped in a marriage that began as a business deal, both were prisoners of circumstance... Until desire broke every wall and love rewrote every rule. It isn't just a love story. It's a tale of possession, passion, and devotion. Where desire burns deeper than sin and love dares to cross every boundary. ✨ His Mrs. Ranawat ✨ Tropes: • Age Gap • Marriage of Convenience • Dark Romance • She Fell First, He Fell Harder Note: This story contains highly descriptive sexual intimacy.
