Somewhere beyond cameras and applause, Raghbir Oberoi lives a life the world thinks it knows, built on fame, charm, and carefully hidden truths. 
But what it never sees is the cost of being watched, the weight of pretending, and the cracks fame learns to hide too well.

Jhalak Sharma steps into that life with law as her weapon and silence as her strength, trying to save him from a scandal that could destroy everything. She is meant to protect him, nothing more, nothing less. Saving him from a scandal that could destroy everything should have been simple, but it became the one thing that changed everything.

One choice made knowingly ties them together, turning rescue into consequence and trust into something fragile from the start. What looks simple on the surface begins to crack, revealing secrets, lies, and a reality no one wants to see.

She is one of the millions of fans who admire him from a distance, a truth only her best friend knows. Loving him was never the part of the deal, but now she is the only person who sees him without the spotlight, the one who exists when the cameras stop. And somewhere along the way, Raghbir finds himself falling for her without realizing when it started.

But loving someone who belongs to the screen means learning when to step back. Jhalak knows she does not fit into his world, even when they feel perfect together. Still, no matter what is thrown at them, they keep finding their way back to each other, as if they were always meant to be together.

When fame demands everything and love asks for courage, will they step beyond the spotlight together, or lose each other to it forever?

"No, Dadii!!! She will stay with me!" Raghav's voice pierced through the quiet drawing room like a crack in glass. His small face, flushed with frustration, quivered with determination. At only ten years old, he already spoke with the authority of a prince one who was never denied anything. Dadii looked down at him with a mix of confusion and unease. "She's... the cleaner's daughter, Raghav. You shouldn't befriend someone like her." "I don't care!" he shouted, fists clenched. "I want her. Only her." There was a pause. A long one. Mrs Malhotra exchanged a glance with Raghav's mother, who stood nearby, her expression tight and unreadable. Finally, She exhaled. "Alright, alright," she muttered, defeated by love. "How can I go against your wish, my prince?" 🍁 "Rajesh," said the madam of the house, her manicured fingers drumming against the polished wood of her chair. "We want your daughter to stay here." Rajesh blinked, unsure if he had heard correctly. "Madam... but she's just a child." "Your child," she said coldly, "is now important to our raghav, he wants her." She paused, letting the words sink in before leaning back. "Twenty thousand monthly. You'll get it if she stays. If she obeys." Rajesh lowered his eyes to the floor. He had never seen such money in his life. "Okay, madam," he whispered, heart sinking. "She will stay. She will do whatever the prince says." ************ Peep into joining the journey of betrayal, love and Unconditional trust.

Her Accidental Forever  by Angel_SR_Doom
9 parts Ongoing Mature
"I can't marry you, Sir. This is not the way I want to be tied down into married life." She whispers, her voice trembling under the weight of her own breaking world. Her eyes are swollen with tears, her soul frayed at the edges. "But I don't think you have any other option left rather than accepting the contract. So, just agree with my decision or believe me, you won't like the consequences." He replies coldly, every word cutting deeper than the last. There is no remorse in his voice. No softness in his eyes. Just control. Just a warning. . . . He is not just her professor. He is a feared business mogul as well, known for his ruthless decisions and lack of mercy. She is a single mother, desperately trying to protect her son and survive the past she thought she had buried long ago. But when he uncovers her deepest, most dangerous secret, one that could destroy her life in a heartbeat: he doesn't give her the chance to explain. He gives her a choice: marry him under the terms of a cold, emotionless contract... or watch her world collapse. Bound by fear. Tied by power. A marriage that was never meant to be anything more than a deal. But what happens when a lifeless contract begins to stir emotions neither of them asked for? When buried scars surface... And when the lines between right and wrong blur inside the walls of a forced relationship? This is not a story of love at first sight. This is a story of control, consequences, and finding strength in the very place she was meant to break.

She commands courtrooms with fire. He rules boardrooms in silence. She hides pain behind sharp words. He buries his behind calm eyes. She trusts no one. He lets no one close. She is rage wrapped in grace. He is restraint edged with danger. She used to laugh. He used to be the reason. . . . . RITIKA SINGH RATHORE Born into Rajasthan's most powerful royal family, Ritika is the pampered princess. But she is a Queen of her own world by strength and sheer will. A fierce lawyer feared in courtrooms, her silence is sharper than most screams. But behind that cold brilliance is a past steeped in blood and betrayal. She used to be the third-in-command of the Indian underworld, but now she doesn't even look at that direction. ADWAIT SINGHANIA A self-made billionaire forged by pain, Adwait rose from the ashes of a brutal past. He thinks like a strategist, moves like a soldier and trusts no one with his heart. He is only cheerful around his family and for others, he is nothing more than a silent storm. Once the second-in-command of India's deadliest crime syndicate, he has now cut ties with the crime world. Reason? No one knows. They were once each other's biggest supporter and secret keeper. Until one night shattered it all. Yet, years later, fate throws them together again. Not as friends. Not as enemies. But as two people bound by a past that refuses to die. Because the past isn't done with them yet. Enemies are watching. Alliances are shifting. And every heartbeat draws them deeper into a war they thought they had left behind. This isn't just a second chance. It's a collision course. This is not a love story, not yet. This is a battlefield and their hearts are the most dangerous weapons of all. ✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫✫
