Rhea escaped a life she never thought she'd survive.
A father who controlled her every move.
A man who trapped her in silence and fear.
A world that left her hollow, afraid, and unseen.
As she shifted to a new, unknown city,
She built a routine: work, home, repeat.
No attachments. No noise.
Peace, at last... or something close to it.
Until she meets Rey.
A man with everything she never had-
A perfect home. A perfect family.
A stable life. A past untouched by pain.
Their worlds shouldn't have collided.
But they did.
And just when she began to feel a pulse in her quiet existence-
Everything shatters.
A missed email.
A rejected visa.
The countdown to deportation begins.
Rey finds out.
He doesn't ask questions.
He calls a lawyer. He finds a solution.
Marriage.
Legal. Safe. Binding.
But the moment she hears the word, the walls close in.
The cage she fought to escape?
It's waiting for her again.
A different lock. A softer voice. But a cage, nonetheless.
Now, she must choose.
Return to the nightmare she barely survived-
Or walk into a new golden cage, one that looks like safety,
but feels like the same trap, dressed in light.
And the scariest part?
This time... no one's forcing her.
Which is worse?
The devil you knew...
Or the dream you don't trust?
The clock is ticking. The walls are closing in. And she's trapped in a decision that could haunt her forever.
Which cage is the lesser evil?

Rudra Singhania didn't just betray her he shattered her. And yet, she survived. Not for herself, but for a promise. But when the truth surfaced, it didn't just rewrite their past, it dismantled the fragile distance between them, leaving nothing but wreckage and rage. Now, Rudra stands at the edge of the abyss he created, drowning in the weight of his sins. He had condemned her, turned her world into ashes, and now, he is back. Back in her life like a storm, ruthless and relentless. He will burn, bleed, and break if it means she will look at him again, not with hatred, but with something he has lost the right to claim. But she doesn't want him, she wants freedom. The harder he chases, the further she runs. But does it matter? No. She can fight, she can scream, she can hate, none of it will change the inevitable. Because Rudra Singhania doesn't love with tenderness. He loves like a storm. Fierce. Unrelenting. Destructive. But Saanvi is no damsel to surrender. She is fire and this time, if she must, she will burn him in her hatred. If he is willing to destroy the world for her then she will carve a path of ruin through him. They are no longer just enemies. They are two obsessions colliding one seeking redemption, the other vengeance. This isn't just a love story. This is madness woven into fate, redemption carved from ruin.

Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Complete
