Zara Ali:

23. A fiery, broke artist trying to save her late father's legacy: a crumbling art school in the heart of Mumbai. She's bold, chaotic, and allergic to corporate men who think they can own the world.


Reyan Malhotra:

30. Billionaire CEO. Sharp-suited, soft-spoken, emotionally untouchable. Known for buying failing institutions, flipping them for profit. But behind his calm mask is a ruthless strategist-and an old, bleeding heart.



What will happen when these two different worlds collide?

Zara publicly insults Reyan during an art event, unaware that he's the silent investor who just bought the land her school is built on.
The next day? Her school is served an eviction notice.
But things spiral when paparazzi catch Zara and Reyan in a heated argument-framed as a passionate kiss.
The media spins it as a scandalous romance, and investors start threatening Reyan's reputation.
So he proposes a deal:
"Be my fiancée for 6 months. I'll pay off your school's debts. You walk away rich. No strings."

Zara agrees-purely out of rage and desperation.
They go on fake dates. Sleep in the same house. Pretend to be a couple.
 But the line between fake and real blurs fast.
 Especially when Reyan starts leaving coffee exactly how she likes it.
 And she starts painting him without realizing.All Rights Reserved

Branded By You by Fading_Romance

[On Hiatus, will be back soon] Aarav Verma is 32, a soft-spoken marketing professor with a quiet charm that sneaks up on you. At 6 feet tall with a sharp gaze behind his glasses, Aarav lives a life driven by discipline, stability, and purpose. When he's not teaching at Delhi University, he freelances as a marketing consultant-every rupee going towards paying off family loans and securing a better future for his parents. Love? He doesn't have time for it. Aarav believes marriage is something he'll think about later-maybe in two or three years, and most likely through his parents. No distractions, no complications, just a life that makes sense. Misha Kapoor is 25, the fiercely independent CEO of a rising fashion brand, with ambition stitched into every thread of her identity. She walks into boardrooms in her signature stylish formals, always five steps ahead of the industry and ten steps ahead of anyone who doubts her. She's confident, bold, and unapologetically herself. But beneath the business brilliance is a young woman who still believes in love-the kind that finds you in the unlikeliest places and refuses to let go. She's not looking for a relationship right now-but she's never stopped believing in the idea of something real. When their paths collide-through a consulting deal neither of them fully wants-the lines blur. He's methodical. She's impulsive. He avoids mess. She thrives in it. And neither of them expects the tension brewing beneath their arguments, the glances they can't ignore, or the connection they weren't ready for.

IN THE WORLD OF NEGATTIONS ~ I Found You~ by talesofpheonix

DESCRIPTION IN THE WORLD OF NEGATION "Love doesn't erase the past- it rewrites it. With every whispered promise,the scars became softer, the nights less lonely. And one day, you realize your heart no longer aches for what was lost.....because his hands have taught it how to hold something new." Some stories begin with a whisper-a slow, quiet unraveling of hearts. Ours began with a *crash*. Not the poetic kind, where two souls meet under starlight, drawn together by destiny's gentle hand. No. Ours was a collision-messy, painful, drenched in rain and spilled coffee. We were never supposed to cross paths. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. One accident. One lie. One keychain that held the weight of a locked-away soul. This isn't a love story. At least, not yet. Mumbai-the city of dreams, where every heartbeat races against time.** **Vivan Luthra** isn't just the golden boy of college she's a masterpiece of contradictions. The cricket field bows to his talent, teachers praise his discipline, and his friends envy his effortless charm. But behind the trophies and the perfect smile, he's a prisoner of his own making. Every compliment is a weight. Every expectation is a chain. And the only thing heavier than his father's ambition? **The secret he's been hiding for years.** Then **she** walks in. **Kavya Randhawa** doesn't belong here-not in this ruthless world of ranks and rigid rules. A poet with a soul too deep for textbooks, she was supposed to be in Delhi, sketching sunsets and weaving words into art. But life had other plans. Dragged back to Mumbai by her parents' unrelenting demands, she's now trapped in a suffocating cycle of NEET prep, her dreams locked away like old diaries. **Their first meeting is a collision.** **Except... he's pretending for a reason.** And when the truth unravels, **neither of them will be ready. she never knew Mumbai was coming ahead with lots of banters, rivalries and broken

Deceptive Affections by viv_world

Someone was standing in front me. The light from the small window illuminated the room a bit. And I saw the face of the person in front of me. It was Reyaan. "Reyaan, wha..." I was unable to finish my sentence as he pinned me against the wall. His one hand was on my waist and another was beside my head. Anger or maybe frustration? clouded his face. "Why are you avoiding me?", he asked in his deep and frustrated voice. "I am not avoiding you", I answered. "Lie", he growled. I tried to speak but he shut me up by lowering his voice further and said, "I will not ask you again. Tell me why are you avoiding me?" Somehow his deep voice managed to make the butterflies in my heart flutter. Before I could say something, I heard my name being called out. I moved my head towards the voice but Reyaan's hand tightened on my waist and I looked up at him "Please let me go. Everyone's looking for me. What if they see us like this?" I pleaded. "Let them, I don't care. It's better if every fucker here knows you are mine.", he said while kissing my neck. This is NOT an arranged marriage. #20 in fake dating. The book will be finished on 28th August 2024, Wednesday. Instagram ID: @thebookholic_club follow for regular updates.
