He never believed in love-until he met the girl behind the red lips and hollow eyes.
Ananya was stolen from her childhood and trafficked to the UK at the age of 12. Forced into a life she never chose, she survives each day by becoming someone else, Anna, who is beautiful, desirable, and emotionally numb.

What begins as a contract soon blurs the line between pretend and real, desire and compassion, freedom and chains, collision of their tainted souls.
She was bought for a night... but he might end up fighting for a lifetime.

HIDDEN AFFECTION
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.

"The Replaced Bride".
Ananya Raichand was never supposed to sit in that mandap. She was just a 21-year-old architecture student, living a life full of dreams, sketches, and silent prayers for her family's happiness. But when her elder sister ran away hours before the wedding, Ananya did the unthinkable - she stepped into her place. For her family's honor. For her parents' tears. For a name that meant everything. And just like that, she became Mrs. Ananya Shekhawat - the wife of a man who never chose her. Rajveer Shekhawat, 29. CEO. Cold. Ruthless. Emotionally unavailable. A man betrayed at the altar and forced to marry the younger sister of the woman who humiliated him. He doesn't speak to her. Doesn't look at her. But somehow... can't seem to ignore her. A marriage born out of chaos. A girl who gave up her dreams. A man who can't escape his past. Will love ever find a place between the cracks?
The Marriage Clause
What happens when India's most powerful businesswoman marries a man the world thinks is too soft for her? Ananya Singh is the no-nonsense, iron-willed CEO of Rathore Holdings, the queen of boardrooms and breaking stereotypes. She doesn't believe in love, certainly not in fairy-tale marriages, and definitely not in taking a man's name. But when her traditional Marwari family pressures her to marry, she strikes a deal-on her terms, her rules, her contract. Enter Rajat Joshi: a gentle, soft-spoken food-tech CEO raised by his chaiwali aunt in Udaipur. He's nothing like the powerful, alpha men Ananya is used to. He doesn't challenge her authority-he respects it. He doesn't fight her fire-he calms it. And he signs her emotion-free marriage contract with just one handwritten clause of his own: "I reserve the right to win your heart, in my own way, in my own time." Now, in a world where she's expected to be the perfect wife and he's dismissed as the "ghar-jamai CEO," their unconventional marriage becomes the talk of every WhatsApp group in Jaipur. But as office politics, public scrutiny, and hidden pasts surface, Ananya finds herself drawn to the one man who refuses to control her-but might just be strong enough to love her.Complete
His Sinful Obsession ( Ruled By Obsession #1)
Tara was innocence wrapped in dangerous temptation. She had voluptuous curves, doe-like eyes, and a heart too pure for the filth of his thoughts. She was his sister-in-law's younger sister, a line he should never cross but Samarth didn't believe in lines. From the first time he saw her, something inside him snapped. It wasn't love...it was hunger. A hunger that grew into obsession and obsession into possession. He watched her. Studied her. Imagined her in every sinful way he could ruin her innocence until she'd only ever belong to him. Tara had no idea the devil was already in her life, and no idea that the man she thought was family was plotting to claim her in the most wicked ways. Samarth didn't care if it was wrong. Didn't care if she resisted. Because once he touched her, there would be no escape. She was his sweetest sin... and he would take her. Again. And again. And again.
The Villain's Proposal
Anaya Mehra was never meant to fall in love with a man like him. Elegant, kind, and powerful-Aaryan Rathore walked into her life like a dream. He made her laugh, made her feel seen, and gave her the kind of love stories are made of. What began with gentle glances turned into midnight conversations, stolen moments, and soft promises of forever. But some promises are laced with poison. Behind his perfect smile hides a truth no one dares to speak. Behind her father's quiet eyes lies a past too dangerous to forget. And when their two worlds collide, the mask of love begins to crack... revealing something far more dangerous beneath. A proposal is coming. But this time, it's not a question-it's a warning. In a world where power wears a suit and love hides sharp teeth... Will she escape the villain's love, or become the crown he refuses to share? "Not all villains steal empires-some steal hearts first."
His Bride: Lost & Found
"You're running away from a wedding?" Dev asked, one brow raised. Ananya smirked, leaning back against his SUV like she owned it. "No. My wedding ran away from me." He chuckled, low and lazy. "That's a new one. Bride abandoned at a dhaba in full lehenga." She stepped closer, eyes locked. "Don't act like you're not impressed." He didn't flinch. Just looked at her like she was a riddle wrapped in fire. "I don't do chaos." She tilted her head. "Too bad. Chaos is exactly what I need right now." And just like that - two broken strangers, one lost bride, and five days on the road together. What could possibly go wrong? What happens when a bride gets left behind at a roadside dhaba - by her own wedding caravan? Ananya was supposed to be headed toward a fairy-tale hilltop wedding. Instead, she ends up sipping chai with a stranger who's running from his past. He's broody. She's furious. And the road ahead? Let's just say... it wasn't on the itinerary.Complete
