Saaya:- Love & Shadow
"From the moment I saw her, I knew she would be my downfall." Charvik Singh Thakur never believed in love at first sight. Then he saw her. One glimpse was enough to turn admiration into devotion.

Fate dragged her into my path anyway." Prarambh Veer Pratap Singh built his life on control. Love was never part of the plan. She was supposed to be temporary. A mistake. A replacement.

Now, two men who never believed in surrender have found the one woman capable of bringing them to their knees. And heaven help the person who tries to take her away. A story of obsession, devotion, family, secrets, and the terrifying lengths a man will go to for the woman he loves.
Her Bangles Still Make Noise
Married off to a quiet man in a broken hut, Devika entered the village with nothing-no dreams, no voice, no name of her own. Everyone called her a burden. Except him. Aarav, a man who had once ruled the city, now lived among clay stoves and silence. Betrayed by his own blood, he had given up everything-until her food, her simplicity, and her quiet strength lit a spark inside him again. With just one clay stove and two plates, they began. From cooking under the sky to building a food empire that shook the village, their love story was written not in grand gestures but in small moments, shared struggles, and a pair of bangles that refused to stop singing. But when Aarav's past returns with greed, guilt, and fire... will Devika's silent strength be enough to protect their world? Because sometimes, the loudest battles are fought... when the bangles still make noise.
