Advita Rathor is sunshine in designer heels-a sharp-tongued, fiercely loyal woman who believes love is just another word for heartbreak. Dhruv Yaduvanshi is the city's coldest billionaire CEO, a man with a reputation for breaking spirits and never, ever letting anyone close. When a high-stakes merger traps them in a marriage neither wants, their worlds collide in a storm of boardroom drama, family secrets, and city lights.
Forced to play the perfect couple for the public eye, they clash at every turn-her laughter grates on his nerves, his icy silence tests her patience. But in the swirling chaos of office politics and family expectations, lines blur and masks slip. As secrets unravel and sparks ignite, Advita and Dhruv must decide if their marriage is just a business deal ... or the beginning of something real.
Enemies by arrangement, lovers by accident. In a city that never sleeps, can two people who swore off love find it when they least expect it?

Two souls destined to clash in a world where power was everything. Suryansh Shekhawat, the 29-year-old CEO of Shekhawat Industries, was a man built of steel. Cold, grumpy, and ruthless to the world, he ruled his empire with an iron hand. Yet behind those piercing eyes and his intimidating presence, his heart melted only for one thing-his family. To them, he was not the feared businessman, but a son and brother who loved fiercely. "She walked into my world like a whisper, yet left echoes I can never silence." On the other side stood Maheswari Devi, just 22, beautiful and graceful, months away from claiming her throne as the CEO of MD Industry. To her family, she was tenderness itself-pampering, sweet, and kind. But the world beyond her home knew her differently. Behind her angelic smile lay an evil angel, cunning, ambitious, and sharp as a blade wrapped in silk. "Cold? Maybe. But even glaciers hide fire underneath." Two rulers, carved by destiny. One, as cold as winter. The other, as dangerous as fire hidden beneath a velvet touch. When their paths cross, it will not be a meeting-it will be a collision. •~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~• Their love somehow sounds like this 🌷 "Whenever my heart drifts to you, I hear 'Raabta' playing quietly within... reminding me that some connections are written long before we meet" ******************* TROPES Cold exterior, warm heart Evil angel in disguise Power couple Destined collision Enemies-to-lovers vibes Childhood connection Grumpy × Angelic (twisted) Clash of equals Slow burn romance Love vs duty Ice × Fire dynamic "A love story written in fire and ice- bound by fate, tested by power, and set" __________ ____________

RUDRANSH'S POSSESSION || 18+
Her back hit the bookshelf with a soft thud, sending a few books tumbling to the floor. Rudransh didn't flinch. His gaze was locked on her lips, one hand wrapped firmly around her waist, the other slowly dragging up her spine. "You think I brought you here just to read?" he whispered, voice rough. Nitya's breath caught as his thumb brushed the curve beneath her chin. "Then why did you?" He leaned closer, lips barely grazing her ear. "Because this is the one place no one dares interrupt me." Then, before she could say another word, his mouth crushed onto hers-demanding, raw, possessive. Books watched. Shadows danced. Her hands found his shirt, fingers fisting the fabric as his teeth grazed her lower lip. And in that moment, nothing mattered but the taste of secrets and sin. ********************************************* Tropes Forced Marriage Age gap Grumpy × Sunshine MML is obsessed with MFL with capital O Characters FL - Nitiya Maheshwari (26 years) An extrovert, carefree, and a famous sketcher.
