Their marriage was built on family ties, not love or at least, that's what he believed.
To him, it was a responsibility. To her, it was everything.
She entered the marriage with a heart full of hope, believing that one day, he might return her love. But Zayan Malik had long buried his ability to feel, to connect especially with someone who looked at him with such quiet devotion.
Seeing that hope in her eyes, he pulled away not out of cruelty, but to protect her from the hollowness inside him. What he didn't realize was that his silence, his absence, his indifference... would shatter her heart more deeply than any harsh word ever could.
And when he left without a goodbye, she thought the pain had reached its peak.
Until she discovered she was carrying his child.

She loved him with a heart that asked for nothing... He broke her without realizing she was the only one who ever loved him truly.❞ In a world draped in vows and silence, Vidhi entered a marriage that promised everything but delivered only pain. Agastya was cold, distant-and unknowingly cruel. His betrayal didn't just scar her; it changed her. But hearts don't stay shattered forever. With time, and with Kunal-the man who saw her worth even when she had forgotten it-Vidhi begins to bloom again. Slowly, fiercely, beautifully. Now, as Agastya drowns in the echoes of regret, Vidhi must choose between the past that broke her and the future that holds her gently. Because sometimes, love isn't about holding on. It's about having the strength to let go-and choosing the one who never made you feel like a second option. This is not just a love story. It's a tale of heartbreak, healing, and finding the courage to rewrite your own ending. . . . Jump into the story to know more 🌷🧚Complete

WHEN LOVE BECOMES A CURSE
BOOK 1 RAYYAN MALIK: In the glittering world of business empires, where power and wealth often define respect, stands Rayyan Malik-a man of silence, precision, and unshakable discipline. At just twenty-eight, he is counted among the top businessmen of India. Known for his serious demeanor and sharp intellect, Rayyan is a man who has never been distracted by charm, beauty, or fleeting desires. To the outside world, he appears cold and distant, but in the quiet corners of his heart lives a secret-one that has been there since childhood. Hidden in his every prayer and in the depths of his unspoken wishes lies a single name: Aayat Malik. AAYAT MALIK: At twenty-two, she is the embodiment of warmth and innocence-bubbly, carefree, and unburdened by the weight of the world. She grew up under Rayyan's watchful eyes, completely unaware that she was the center of his silent devotion. Unlike him, she is not ambitious or extraordinary in academics; she is simple, often struggling through studies, yet her charm lies in her purity. Her mornings begin with prayer, her recitation of the Qur'an, and then a return to her beloved world of dreams. Fate, in its mysterious way, answers Rayyan's lifelong prayers when Aayat becomes his bride. But what begins as the fulfillment of his silent longing soon turns into a test of trust and faith. Rayyan's love, once sacred and unwavering, becomes clouded with doubt. His mistrust pushes him into decisions that will shatter Aayat's world. Surrounded by accusations, abandoned even by her family, Aayat finds herself standing alone, her tears unheard and her innocence questioned. Yet, what no one expects is the storm that brews within her heart-the strength she discovers in her solitude. Aayat's journey, from being misunderstood to redefining her place in the world, will leave everyone astonished. And in this clash of love, betrayal, and resilience, both Rayyan and Aayat will face the true meaning of faith, loyalty, and destiny.Complete

Maya: Tied to him
A calm village head enters a marriage of convenience with a city girl only to discover that loving her might be the one thing he can't control. Zayan X Maya ✨ "Woh umr mein bada tha, samajh mein samandar sa, Main jazbaaton ki baarish, woh sabr ka aasman. Main takraar thi, chup thi, toofan bhi kabhi, Woh khamoshi mein dooba, magar dil se qareeb. Bin maange mila saath, ek sauda sa laga, Par waqt ne likhi kahani, mohabbat ban gaya. Main bikhri rahi, woh samet'ta gaya, Ishq shayad aisa hi hota hai-chup chaap saza." 🌷💗✨

Forced into a life they didn't want, they start as strangers bound by duty and pain. But sometimes, even when love isn't promised, the heart finds a way to break through the walls - and maybe, just maybe, two broken souls can find something real in each other."![Her Everything [ Book #1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/107175618-256-k407580.jpg)
