Chandrika Mehrotra, the powerful yet lonely CEO of Mehrotra Enterprises, lives in a world of schedules, meetings, and silence. Ever since her mother's mysterious death and her father's emotional manipulation, she has learned to rely only on herself. Fierce, composed, and intimidating to most, Chandrika wears her success like armor-but behind her guarded eyes lies a woman yearning for love, warmth, and honesty.
Meanwhile, Parth Goenka-charming, intelligent, and the only heir of the prestigious Goenka Mills-wants to make his mark not as a CEO's son, but as a self-made man. When his father gives him a challenge to hide his identity and earn a position in a company based on his merit, Parth accepts-replacing his surname and walking straight into Chandrika's empire as her new assistant.
Neither of them expected their first meeting to ignite something so electric.
She saw a calm, witty assistant.
He saw the woman he could fall for... deeply.
But secrets have a shelf life.
And when identities, past traumas, and power collide-will love survive the storm?

HIDDEN AFFECTION (Paused)
A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen. Hidden Affection - By @author_aryaa Creative Collaborator - @ehaawrites We can't wait to share this journey with you.
Entwined hearts
It is a passionate, slow-burn, light romantic tale Main character- A story of two strangers, forced into a bond neither wanted, yet destined to redefine love and life together. Two Worlds, One Fate Ruhi Goenka - The Untamed Flame At nineteen, Ruhi Goenka had everything a girl her age could dream of. Born into the affluent Goenka family, she was the only daughter of Vikram Goenka, a man whose name alone commanded power and respect in business circles. Their mansion in South Delhi stood like a symbol of wealth, a world of its own-filled with lavish parties, designer dresses, and a life where money could solve almost anything. Except her heart. Ruhi was wild, impulsive, and untamed. A modern, street-smart girl who never followed rules unless they were her own. She wore short dresses, drove expensive cars, and lived her life exactly the way she wanted. Raghav Sharma - The Boy Who Knew Simplicity While Ruhi's world was made of glitter and rebellion, Raghav Sharma's world was made of patience and responsibilities. At twenty-four, Raghav was the kind of man most people overlooked-soft-spoken, kind-hearted, and painfully simple. He had grown up in a narrow street of Old Delhi, where life was measured in hard work, not luxury. His father, Harish Sharma, owned a small but well-loved sweet shop, "Sharma Mishtan Bhandar." It wasn't a grand business, but it was ** honest work.** And neither of them was ready for what was coming.Complete![Bound By Contract United By Love[Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/401881851-256-k436753.jpg)
