Mature

They didn't fall in love. They broke into it.
A marriage built on silence.
A man who never lets go.
And a woman who's never known what it feels like to be chosen-until now.
He loved in silence. She ached in noise.
Adyant Shah was everything Dhruvi Kapoor couldn't understand-quiet, composed, untouchable.
She wanted fire. He offered stillness.
But some loves don't need grand gestures-just the courage to stay.


hello fellas,

Bold at heart, soft in words.
I write the kind of love that aches-and the kind of pain that lingers.
If you're here to feel, you're home.

Its an matured theme story and will keep you hooked. its my first story as well so please let me know if you like it.All Rights Reserved

Between Faith And Forever by bhoomi_wrts_13

"Some love stories are not chosen... they quietly happen in the spaces between duty and silence." Kainaat Ali has spent her life behind the walls of an orthodox Delhi home, a girl with an English degree and a heart full of unspoken words. To her parents, she is a burden. To the world, she barely exists. Hriday Tyagi lives a quiet life in Gurugram, sharing a flat with his childhood friend Danish Ali. He is respectful, patient, and far from the chaos of love. When family pressure threatens to bind Kainaat to a life she dreads, Danish proposes an unexpected solution-marry his best friend, Hriday. A marriage of convenience. No love. No promises. Only a quiet agreement to keep her safe. Now, Kainaat steps into a bachelor's flat that smells of coffee and rain, where silence lingers in the corners, and every soft gesture from Hriday begins to stir something she never knew she was allowed to feel. In a world where faith, family, and fate stand in the way, can a home built on unspoken moments ever become a love story?

Soft Silence by authorem_

"𝐼𝑛 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑛𝑠, 𝑠ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑢𝑛." 𝘿𝙞𝙮𝙖 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 is kind, too kind and strong in the way that makes people forget she bleeds too. Love was never expected, only endurance. So when her father asked her to marry she nodded... not out of hope, but habit. 𝙑𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙧𝙖, grew up in a home that taught him how to build empires but never taught him how to ask for a hug. Marriage was never part of the plan until a hospital room, a fading pulse, and the one man he could never disappoint whispered a final wish. Neither expected warmth. Neither expected understanding. And they definitely didn't expect comfort in each's other's silence. A tale of quiet yearning- an arranged marriage where silence becomes a language and love sneaks in when no one's looking. - M 💌

My breath hitched. His eyes-sharp, cold, merciless-scanned me like I was a puzzle that didn't fit. "You don't even know how to wear a bra?" he asked, his voice low, incredulous, and almost cruel. I didn't know what to say. I slowly nodded my head-no-because... I really didn't. No one ever taught me. No one cared to. I was standing there, shivering slightly, my fingers trembling, curling into the soft shawl I used to hide myself. His gaze was burning, stripping me down to my bare soul, and I couldn't meet his eyes. But his next words... or we can say actions... shocked me to the core. ----------------- Will he accept her as his wife? Will he destroy her for a decision she never made? Or will fate tie them together in ways neither imagined? 𐙚⋆°｡⋆♡ A dark, intense love story of two broken souls bound by force, fear... and destiny.
