Her father joins the rescue, leading a dramatic raid that brings Case home but leaves him scarred by six months of isolation and fear. As the couple confronts the lingering trauma, they learn to lean on each other, rebuilding trust one stolen kiss and shared cup of ramen at a time.

11 parts Ongoing
Fifty-one rejections. Fifty-one times my heart was broken, including the girl I thought I'd never stop loving. After that, I swore I'd never fall for anyone again. Love became a game I refused to play - every smile, every kind gesture from a girl felt like a trap. Years passed. College came. I buried myself in studies, friends, and distractions, building walls so high no one could reach me. Until she appeared. Aya. Gentle, patient, and fearless in ways I hadn't known existed. She didn't chase me, didn't push. She simply stayed - quietly, persistently, until I realized the walls I'd built were trembling. But trust doesn't come easy. Fear lingers. Past heartbreaks echo. Can I let myself be vulnerable again? Or will my own walls keep me from the love I've always wanted? A slow-burn story of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to let someone in - even when you've sworn you never will.

Before college begins, Shraddha and Abhay are tied together by a secret - an arranged marriage neither wanted but both must live. Shraddha, a bold and vibrant Tamil Brahmin girl with a love for dance and literature, steps into Mumbai's bustling university carrying the weight of tradition and a heart full of silent dreams. Abhay, her charismatic senior and a second-year literature student from a wealthy business family, is everything she isn't - confident, reckless, and untouchable to everyone but her. Bound by vows whispered in secrecy, they navigate a campus where they are strangers in public and something much more behind closed doors. As their worlds collide - rich and orthodox, modern and rebellious - they learn that love doesn't always come in loud declarations. Sometimes, it is written in quiet verses and stolen moments. _____ "I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul." _____ Will their vows confine them, or will the verses they write together set them free? ⸻ TROPES: Secret Marriage Senior × Junior College Heartthrob × New Student Enemies to Lovers (Slow-Burn) Grumpy × Bold (with a twist) Culture Clash North Indian × South Indian Literature Nerds × Silent Pining ______ Hashtags #SecretMarriage #ArrangedMarriage #CollegeRomance #EnemiesToLovers #SlowBurn #WattpadIndia #DesiLoveStory #GrumpyxBold #SeniorJunior #IndianRomance #NorthXSouth Highest Ranking: #66 in #WattpadIndia #58 in #WattpadIndia #53 in #wattpadindia #51 in #wattpadindia #7 in #wattpadlovestory #141 in #collegeromance #7 in #wattpadlovestory #5 in #wattpadlovestory #2 in #cultureclash #2 in #poeticlove
Wounded King || 18+ by shuuyaawrites
66 parts Ongoing Mature
His gaze locked into mine, intense, unwavering. "I need a verbal answer, little rose." I could hardly find my voice, but it escaped in a trembling whisper, "Y-yes... Abhii." In the next breath, he pulled my flush against him, his hand gripping the back of my neck. His lips found mine, gentle only for the first second before deepening. His kiss was commanding, urgent-sucking on my lips as if he'd never let me go. I tried to match him, to kiss him back, but his force, his hunger was overwhelming. All I could do was yield, surrender, let him take control. Wounded King is connected to the world of Shattered Silk, but it is a complete story on its own and can be read without reading the first book. Abhishek Rana never wanted a wife - only a name to offer someone with no one left. When he finds Naina, orphaned and alone, marrying her feels like fulfilling a duty... nothing more. "Not a single chapter wasted-every page pulls you deeper into a slow-burn that won't let you go." A slow-burn, age-gap romance between two broken souls forced into an unwanted marriage - and a love neither of them saw coming.

She loved him with a devotion deeper than breath itself. He was her heartbeat, her soul's anchor. But he belonged to someone else. "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Her memories were hers alone-precious, untouchable, unshared. Even if the world told her to forget, she clung to the fragments of a love that was never hers to keep. Until fate bound her to the same man whose heart had long been buried with another. "I married you to fulfil my Aashi's last wish. You will never belong here." His cruelty was a shield for his grief. Her silence was armor for her pain. Yet somewhere between bitterness and heartbreak, something unexpected sparked-something fragile, something forbidden. But when apologies come too late and confessions fall on a heart turned to stone, love risks becoming nothing more than ashes. She walks away, her love long faded. He stands shattered, vowing to fight for her, to heal her, to burn himself if it means rekindling the fire in her heart. Even if it destroys him.

Sometimes the heart chooses a love that logic cannot understand Yoko Apasra Letpresert, 25, was never meant to live a life of hospitals and breathing tubes. A once-hopeful young woman from a modest middle-class family, she now fights every breath with a failing heart and a stubborn case of asthma. Her dreams fade with each monitor beep. Her brother Yixkey works tirelessly to support her medical fees while their aging parents stretch every baht they earn just to keep her alive. Then one stormy evening, as Yoko collapses in her home, she is rushed to a hospital-where fate silently rewrites her story. Dr. Faye Peraya Malisorn, 30, is Thailand's top neurosurgeon. Beautiful, brilliant, and heir to the Malisorn fortune. But Faye has no interest in her father's cold, corporate world of aircrafts and billion-baht mergers. She finds peace in saving lives, in the heartbeat of operating rooms not in boardrooms. When Faye first lays eyes on Yoko barely breathing on a stretcher something in her own heart stirs. It begins as care. Blossoms into love. And soon, it's everything. But love is never easy when power and legacy stand in the way. Faye's father has plans of his own an arranged marriage with the daughter of his business partner, Mr. Zhen. And when he learns that Yoko is on the donor list for a new heart, he delivers an ultimatum that shakes the world beneath Faye's feet. "Break up with her-or watch her die." This is a story of love that defies medicine. Of a surgeon who dares to cut the threads of fate, and of a girl whose heart still has dreams left to beat. Will they fight the odds or surrender to the shadows of power?
