Mika is just your average nineteen-year-old girl-broke, sarcastic, and perfectly content with bingeing K-dramas while slurping spicy buldak noodles in her tiny apartment. Life is simple. Normal. Boring, even.

At least, that's what she thinks.

Because when a knock at the door shatters her late-night peace, Mika has no idea she's about to be thrown into a world she never knew existed-a world where her family hides dangerous secrets, old debts run deeper than blood, and her "normal" life was nothing but a carefully crafted illusion.

And then there's him.
Xavier. Cold, untouchable, and terrifyingly beautiful. The man she's being forced to marry. The man with his own shadows and a past written in blood.

Enemies. Lovers. Something in between. Whatever they are, Mika quickly learns one thing: once you step into the fire, there's no way back.

Her noodles are cold. Her dramas are paused.
And her life? It's about to become a twisted story she never asked to star inAll Rights Reserved

𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 by author_shravani

🪞 #𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟎𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 She wasn't saved. She was handed over quietly, cruelly, like a secret no one wanted to keep. Nitya was soft. Too soft for a world that carved love out of manipulation and called it care. Raised under a roof where tenderness was twisted and silence was survival, she learned that obedience was the only way to stay invisible. Especially when your own mother becomes the mask behind your undoing. So when Nitya is married off, not for love, not even for tradition, but for control she doesn't protest. She folds. Like she always has. Avayan didn't ask for her. He's all edges and ice unreadable, untouchable, and emotionally void. He only said yes because it was expected of him. But something changes in the stillness. Moments pass. And in between the ones where she's breaking quietly are the ones where someone stays. Not to rescue her. Not to hold her. Just to remain. And somehow, between the words left unsaid and the glances not meant to linger, a slow, aching tenderness begins to rise not loud, not sudden but real. This isn't a story of perfect love. This isn't a story of grand gestures or sudden passion. It's a slow, haunting unraveling - of a girl who was barely even hers, Yet, in a marriage built on duty, can desire turn into something more? Can Nitya find the courage to claim her place beside the man who teases and torments her with a tenderness she never knew she craved? And will Avayan, who never believed in love, realize that she was meant to be his all along? A slow-burning tension, stolen moments, and a love that was never supposed to happen-but refuses to be ignored. A quiet beginning. A burning middle. A love that doesn't save her- but teaches her how to choose herself, and him, at the same time. And the man who unknowingly teaches her how to belong to herself.

Issues Of The Heart by EmberBluee2

"Father? " she calls in a cranky tone "What is really the meaning of these documents? ". He scoffs and sips his coffee less concerned " What does it look like? " he snaps "It's an arranged marriage obviously". He continues reading his newspapers and a tear drops down her face. " Father why are you doing this to me? " she whimpers "Why do you badly want to punish me? ". She chokes back the tears that were threatening to pour out " Because you've refused to grow and change!" he rasps "You have just decided to kill me before my time. You have already done enough and i'm quite fed up". He closes his newspaper and leans closer to her. " You are going to show up on your wedding day and marry the man i have chosen for you. Don't make things harder than it already is". He sprang up and storms out, she fell to the floor sobbing in unbearable pain. *Helena, a perhaps spoilt, wealthy young woman with the face and body. Of course she's every mans' dream but she rather sees men as a toy to be used and tossed aside. Actually she prefers the opposite, she doesn't want to fall victim of a situation where a man will use her and dump her like they are termed to always do. "So, literally she has no care in the world. But now the table has rotated and she's in for a forever game. Apparently, the above argument shows that her father signed an arranged marriage with a man she has never met and un-fortunately, there's no turning back........... Read More.......
