Riya Sharma, a bright young woman with dreams tucked behind her smile, finds herself at the center of an arranged marriage she never saw coming-but doesn't shy away from. When her family rekindles old bonds with the Malhotras, a proposal is made, and Riya is soon engaged to Aarav Malhotra-the quiet, composed architect who rarely shows what's on his mind.
From engagement to marriage, Riya steps into this new chapter hand in hand with Aarav, even if they begin as strangers. Through gentle gestures, teasing banter, shared glances, and family chaos, the two slowly carve out a space for each other-turning awkward silences into laughter, unfamiliarity into comfort, and duty into devotion.
"Love, Slowly" is a soft romantic comedy that captures the beauty of growing love-where soulmates aren't born, but built, moment by moment. It's a celebration of arranged marriage, pure love, and the quiet magic of two people falling for each other in all the little ways that matter.

Aadhya: The girl who healed him
Aarav Malhotra-calm, disciplined, and the quiet strength behind Malhotra Empires-never expected that one accident could take away the very thing he used to lead: his voice. After a near-fatal crash leaves him with temporary vocal cord paralysis, Aarav finds himself surrounded by noise, decisions, and expectations-yet unable to speak a single word. Then comes Aadhya. Not a grand love interest, the most dramatic entry, a girl who happens to step into his life during a time when silence defines him. And somehow, her presence doesn't feel loud or overwhelming. It feels... right. No love at first sight. No fate. Just two people, learning to understand each other-in the quiet. 298 in romcom out of 33.3k stories. 19 july, 2025 14 in devotion out of 2.59k stories. 19 july ,2025. 18 in romcom out of 33.6k stories. 30 july, 2025 14 in romcom out of 33.6k stories. 1 August, 2025

Wed To The Warden
Genre: Arranged Marriage Romance | Drama | Slow Burn | Enemies to Lovers When sweet, small-town schoolteacher Naina Mathur is unexpectedly proposed to by none other than Ryan Malhotra - Asia's most feared, ruthless business tycoon - her world flips upside down. Shy, soft-hearted, and deeply rooted in her modest life, Naina never dreamed she'd be swept into the glittering chaos of the ultra-rich. And certainly not into the arms of a man who barely speaks, never smiles, and carries secrets colder than his steel gaze. Ryan Malhotra doesn't believe in love. He doesn't trust softness. But when family duty and business align, he agrees to an arranged marriage with the one woman who doesn't fear his name - just the world he lives in. What starts as a strategic alliance slowly sparks with unexpected emotions, clashing ideals, and dangerous attraction. As wedding functions unfold in royal palaces and under the unforgiving eye of the media, Naina and Ryan are forced to confront their buried pasts, internal fears, and growing desire. From awkward first meetings, protective touches, jealousy, and lingering glances - to the playful meddling of cousins and the scars that shaped them both - they begin to discover that love isn't always born from choice. Sometimes, it's destiny's most powerful storm. Two strangers. One arrangement. And a love neither saw coming. 🔑 Primary Keywords Arranged marriage romance Billionaire romance South Asian romance Indian royal romance Opposites attract Tycoon love story Teacher x CEO romance Rich boy poor girl romance Emotional slow burn romance Enemies to lovers Forced proximity romance Palace wedding romance Protective male lead Innocent girl love story Cultural romance fiction Family drama romance Fictional Indian romanceComplete

When fate brings them together again this time at the hospital where she's a intern doctor and he's a heart surgeon sparks fly, teasing turns into tension, and stolen glances become something neither of them can ignore. Can the girl who dances in the rain and laughs at life melt the icy walls of the boy across the street? Or will their age gap, past misunderstandings, and the rules of their world keep them apart? A cute, slow-burn romance full of laughter, teasing, and unexpected magic.✨
Tangled by Love
When two strangers cross paths, neither expects the kind of spark that could set their world on fire. Rishi Sehgal isn't just a man-he's a presence. A London-born heartthrob with deep roots in Delhi and Hyderabad, he walks the tightrope between old-world charm and modern grace. At 27, he's built a life many only dream of-confident, magnetic, and always in control. But even he can't predict what happens when fate throws him into Aarna's orbit. Aarna Hegde is a storm wrapped in sunshine. The youngest daughter of one of Hyderabad's wealthiest families, she's spoiled, yes-but self-aware, razor-sharp, and never sorry about who she is. She doesn't chase trouble. She is trouble-with a smile that stings and eyes that dare. Their worlds collide at the bachelorette of Aarna's sister and Rishi's cousin in Hyderabad. For Rishi, it's another family event. For Aarna, it's her spotlight. But between stolen glances and teasing sparks, something real begins to rise. He wasn't planning to stay. She wasn't looking for anything real. But love doesn't ask-it entangles, it tests, it ties knots around hearts and refuses to let go. And as wedding season spins on, so does their fate-twisting, burning, binding. They were never looking for love... But sometimes love finds you. Wild, messy, electric-and impossible to undo.
