An arrange marriage that binds two hearts - he believes he is broken, she believes she is fine. Yet, can love find its way through the cracks of two distant hearts?
Rihan Mehra doesn't "lack emotion"-he feels more than most. But in a world obsessed with romance, he feel like he's constantly trying to explain a language no one wants to learn.
Kritika Tandon? She's the "sorted" one-independent, practical, always in control. She's never chased love, never needed softness. Or so she thought.
When their paths cross, it's not attraction that sparks-it's understanding. In their quietness. Something that is unnamed but both hearts crave.
But how do you explain a connection that doesn't look like love to people who only recognize clichés?
A slow-burn Indian romance that redefines love, explores identity, and holds space for a kind of bond that doesn't follow the rules-because maybe, just maybe, love isn't one-size-fits-all.

Wounded King || 18+
His gaze locked into mine, intense, unwavering. "I need a verbal answer, little rose." I could hardly find my voice, but it escaped in a trembling whisper, "Y-yes... Abhii." In the next breath, he pulled my flush against him, his hand gripping the back of my neck. His lips found mine, gentle only for the first second before deepening. His kiss was commanding, urgent-sucking on my lips as if he'd never let me go. I tried to match him, to kiss him back, but his force, his hunger was overwhelming. All I could do was yield, surrender, let him take control. Wounded King is connected to the world of Shattered Silk, but it is a complete story on its own and can be read without reading the first book. Abhishek Rana never wanted a wife - only a name to offer someone with no one left. When he finds Naina, orphaned and alone, marrying her feels like fulfilling a duty... nothing more. "Not a single chapter wasted-every page pulls you deeper into a slow-burn that won't let you go." A slow-burn, age-gap romance between two broken souls forced into an unwanted marriage - and a love neither of them saw coming.Complete

She Chose To Stay
Before I give description about this story i wanna tell you guys this story will be in HINDI & ENGLISH MIX..without any translation.. sorry loviess.. This is an arranged marriage story-slightly fictional, but deeply rooted in reality. Through this story, I'll try my best to share meaningful life lessons and show what real love looks like, whether it begins before marriage or after. Because no relationship is perfect, but with understanding, patience, and effort, even an arranged marriage can turn into a bond stronger than love itself. This story isn't just about romance-it's about growth, pain, healing, and the kind of love that's built, not found. AVYANSH RUDRANSH KHURANA, 29, is the owner of Mayansh Group of Industries, one of Mumbai's top jewellery companies. A self-made man with a broken heart. Once cheerful, now cold. His past love, Jhanvi, left scars he never healed from. Since then, love and marriage were doors he refused to open-until now. DHRUVI DHRUV SINGHANIA, 21, is a sweet, bubbly jewellery design student. Kind to everyone-even those who hurt her. But beneath her smile hides a secret pain no one knows about. Now imagine if these two got married. Sounds predictable? No. This isn't your typical "cold man melts for bubbly girl" story. This is about pain, healing, patience, and slow, imperfect love. It won't be easy. There will be more tears than smiles. But in the end? The ending will be beautiful.. Kyuki kehte hai na..jispe bit ti hai ussi ko samjah ata hai..toh bas happy endings are the best.Complete

"He doesn't say 'I love you.' But he changed in all the ways that yelled it." •••••••••••••• Vaani Joshi never expected love from her arranged marriage - just respect, maybe some space, and silence she could live with. Dhruv Deshmukh was exactly that: powerful, unreadable, and cold. He didn't ask her what she liked. He didn't ask how her day was. And she never asked for anything. But then he started noticing. Not her words - her silences. Not what she wanted - what she gave up. The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest. And the girl who never expected anything... is the reason he's learning how to give everything. •••••••••••••••• "Why do you always notice the things I don't say?" He looked at her for a long second.

Isha : his silent love
SCHEDULE : EVERY MONDAY 💗 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Isha mehra × Rudra malhotra ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My grip on the steering wheel tightened. Isha. Isha. Isha. That name. It wouldn't stop circling inside my head like a curse. "Hm. Rudra?" mom's tone shifted slightly. "What about you? What do you think about Isha?" "She's... pretty." That slipped out of my mouth before my brain could lock it down. I kept my eyes forward, pretending I hadn't just lost control over my damn tongue. Shit. Did I just say that? Me? "She's pretty, huh, bhai?" Arjun teased, grinning at me through the rearview mirror. Damn it. This idiot's going to turn it into a full family circus. "Beta, I didn't ask how she looks," mom said, folding her arms like she was holding court. "I asked, what do you think about her." I didn't answer. Because I didn't know what the hell to say. So I said nothing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning : This story contains abuse, torture, force (not between the couple), murder, and violence. And many more things that might triggerd you.
