What happens when India's favorite cricket star meets a woman who doesn't care who he is but still sees right into his soul?

Rishi Oberoi is everything the world worships rich, talented, dangerously charming. But behind the magazine covers and roaring crowds lies a man still grieving the brother he lost and the life he was never allowed to choose.

Kritika Mehra is a quiet physiotherapy intern from Mumbai, just trying to keep her head down, do her job, and take care of her ailing father. She doesn't have time for celebrity drama especially not the kind that shows up injured at her rehab center.

Sparks fly, but not the easy kind. As love begins to bloom in the spaces between silence and sacrifice, Rishi and Kritika must navigate media madness, family legacies, and their broken pieces.

💬 A story of healing, home, and hearts that find each other when the world isn't watching.All Rights Reserved

The Road Back To You by SunnShineee6

*Can be read as a standalone* They say hate is just another shade of love. But for us, it feels like fire set to burn everything in its path. Aneesha was the girl who once tore the Malhotra family apart. Dhruv is the boy who swore he would never forgive her. Why marry me if I was never good enough?" - Aneesha "Because walking away wasn't an option. But loving you isn't either." - Dhruv But one desperate call, one reckless decision, and their names are bound together in marriage. Now she's the unwanted bahu of the Malhotra mansion-looked at with suspicion, blamed for every scar of the past, and forced to stand beside the man who despises her most. Two souls tied by accident. Two hearts chained by pride. Where Aarav & Aanya fought love and Vivaan & Niyati healed with it-Dhruv & Aneesha will burn in it.

The unwritten drill by thebraveheart

In the world of uniforms, every step is measured, every command precise. But some moments... are never part of the drill. On her way to the SSB, Rukshara only carried one dream-to earn the olive green one day. She didn't expect an accidental encounter with Captain Rudra Pratap Singh Rathore, a man whose silence carried more weight than words. Between discipline and destiny, salutes and stolen glances, she learns that not every lesson is taught on the parade ground... some are written in the heart, in an unwritten drill of their own.

Whispers of Fate by shewhowriteslove

"I don't have any expectations from this marriage, nor am I looking for love," he said. "I am entering into this marriage merely to honor my promise to Sahil, for the sake of his parents and your daughter." ♡ "She will never love you the way she loved him", the harsh truth was reminded to him again. He replied, "She may never love me, and that doesn't matter to me. My love for her is boundless, enough to fill both our hearts and keep me content. Also, I don't ever want her to love me the way she loved him. Even if she gives me ten percent of that love, I'll be the happiest man alive." ♡ Anisha Mehta finds herself at a crossroads after the tragic loss of her husband. Left to raise their young daughter alone, her world turns grey, and hope seems distant. Destiny plays its tune and ties her into a marriage of convenience with Atharva Raichand, an intimidating and enigmatic billionaire with a significant secret hidden behind his ruthless and chilling exterior. As Anisha navigates the uncharted waters of a marriage born out of obligation, she begins to unravel the layers of Atharva's heart and confront her feelings. ♡ The story follows their journey as they navigate the nuances of their evolving relationship, amidst societal expectations, unexpressed emotions, and the haunting echoes of Sahil's memory. Set against a backdrop of family dynamics, emotional turmoil, and unexpected alliances, the story explores the depths of love, sacrifice, and the courage it takes to embrace a new beginning. Will Anisha and Atharva find the strength to heal each other's wounds and embark on a path of love and companionship? Or will the shadows of the past forever cloud their chance of happiness?
