Danyal and Aanya never asked for a future together-at least not in the same way.
For Aanya, love bloomed early. She had loved Danyal for as long as she could remember, holding on to the dream of being his one day. But when fate ties them together in a forced marriage, her dream quickly turns into a slow-burning nightmare.
Danyal, heartbroken and emotionally wrecked from a betrayal he never saw coming, has nothing left to give. Cold, distant, and wrapped in the memories of someone who shattered him, he refuses to see Aanya as anything more than a burden-an unwanted reminder of a life he didn't choose.
But love can only survive so much silence. So much hurt. And when Aanya finally walks away, broken but not defeated, it forces Danyal to confront everything he's been running from: the pain, the anger... and the quiet truth that maybe, just maybe, she was the one who could heal him all along.
"Cruel Beginnings" is a heart-wrenching tale of unspoken love, emotional wounds, and the power of second chances-where healing begins not when hearts are forced together, but when they choose to stay.

He had already decided-thirty days, a signature, and they'd go back to being strangers. No attachments. No emotions. Just a deal. But somewhere in between, the lines blurred. Somewhere in between, a home was built, a love so quiet yet so consuming took root in places they never dared to look. And when the contract ended, they walked away-pretending none of it had ever meant anything. Yet, some feelings never fade, some stories refuse to be forgotten, and some hearts find their way back-no matter how much time or distance tries to pull them apart. Because love, the kind that lingers in every breath, every unspoken word-it was never meant to be temporary. 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙙𝙚⋆ ୨ৎ ──────── ✦ 1ꜱᴛ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ᴏꜰ ᴅᴇꜱᴛɪɴʏ ꜱᴇʀɪᴇꜱ 🌷Complete
