"Have you ever attended a wedding where something went wrong?"

Meera Deshpande was the perfect bride-draped in a regal Paithani, henna still dark on her palms, and a heart full of steady hope. But as the shehnai faded and whispers rose, one truth shattered everything: the groom wasn't coming. Left at the mandap in a sea of stunned silence and flickering fairy lights, Meera does the unthinkable-she lifts her chin, offers the guests dinner, and walks away. 
Back home, with only her self-respect and silence for company, Meera rebuilds her life. She's a Chartered Accountant, a daughter, a cousin, and now-unwillingly-a spectacle. But while the world mourns her "failed wedding," Meera has no intention of becoming a tragedy. And just when she's certain love is an outdated myth, life throws in someone who might just change her mind - If she lets him. Almost a Bride is a story of heartbreak and humour, of unexpected strength, nosy relatives, perfectly spiced dal, and the kind of love that arrives when you've stopped waiting.All Rights Reserved

The Silent Wounds ( Completed ) by msjasly

Some souls are born under gentle skies, bathed in love and warmth. Meera was not one of them. Her world had always been cold and unwelcoming. Sent away to live under her grandmother's care, she grew up amidst cruelty. She was harassed, abused - the bruises invisible to the world, the loneliness louder than her cries. Life did not ease its grip as she grew older. Her marriage became just another prison. Her husband's words cut like knives, his hands heavy with rage. The day she learned the truth behind her marriage, her fragile hopes shattered completely. After years of being treated like a doormat, Meera finally chose freedom over chains. Divorce was not a new beginning - it was merely the end of one battle and the start of another: the fight to piece herself back together. Meera's journey became one of finding slivers of light in the deepest darkness... of discovering that sometimes, the love we yearn for most comes from the worlds we create within ourselves. She didn't know if her own "happily ever after" truly existed but she longed for the day when the man she adored in fiction might somehow step into her reality and hold her as tenderly as he held the love in his story. Will Meera ever find her happily ever after?

Whispers of Fate by Shrimati2905

Some bonds aren't found-they're fated. In the bustling heart of Delhi, Arjun Malhotra has built walls around his heart. A near-forty CEO and devoted single father, his world revolves around his daughter Anaya-until Meera Prakash storms in like spring after a long winter. At just 23, Meera is everything Arjun isn't-free-spirited, full of laughter, and delightfully chaotic. She's the warmth he forgot he needed. But love isn't simple when the past still lingers-especially when Arjun's glamorous ex-wife walks back in, and Meera's possessive admirer refuses to let go. Enter Anaya, a clever stray cat named Pumpkin, and two meddling best friends who are convinced fate just needs a little push. As stolen glances turn into stolen moments, Arjun and Meera must decide: can opposites truly attract, or will the world pull them apart before they even begin? A slow-burn, age-gap romance filled with mischief, second chances, and the magic of the unexpected-Whispers of Fate is a story of finding love in the last place you'd look, and learning to trust the whispers of the heart.

Dil Se Dil Tak by Phoenixxx07

AYAAN the soft-spoken tech mogul with a smile that melts boardrooms, believes in soulmates and shared dreams.

In a clash of ambition and emotion, can love rewrite the rules, or will it be just another casualty of power? "Dil Se Dil Tak" - where hearts speak louder than strategy.

Fated Love~ A love that Defies Destiny by amieeekai

Each step, each round of the holy fire, led Meera and Shreyansh into a life they never expected, never planned, and never even imagined. Once strangers with separate paths, their lives were now intricately tangled, bound by fate's unpredictable design. "Now, fill the partition with vermillion on the bride's head," the priest announced. Shreyansh pinched some vermillion between his fingers. As an elderly lady unveiled Meera, Shreyansh's gaze fell upon her tear-streaked face. Her eyes remained tightly shut, as if shielding herself from the harsh reality unfolding around her. With a heavy heart, Shreyansh filled her partition with the sacred red powder, some of it falling onto the bridge of her nose. "Aaj se aap dono pati patni hai, vivaah sampurn hua," the priest proclaimed, declaring them husband and wife. A wedding is supposed to be a joyous celebration, a sacred union filled with love and affection, the beginning of two lives intertwined in harmony. Yet, their wedding felt like a solemn ceremony devoid of joy. No music, no laughter, no celebration. Shreyansh stood up from the mandap and walked away, leaving Meera sitting there, still covered by her veil. Her fingers fidgeted with a pendant, the name "Vikram" etched into it. A fresh wave of tears cascaded down her cheeks as she caressed the initial of Vikram's name. Unable to hold back her anguish, she whispered his name, "Vikram," before her body gave in to the overwhelming emotions and she fell unconscious.

Thakur Shahab |18+| by Reran123

This is not the story of a hero who sacrificed his love to save the world... This is the story of a man who would burn the whole world just to save one person. "Maryada? Jab woh dard se cheekh rahi thi aur uska sharir thanda pad raha tha, tab kha the yeh log ?" Ved Pratap Thakur stood like a storm cloud in the middle of the room, his eyes turning into cold flints as he looked at those who called his wife 'impure'. "Maa, use bimaari mein pati aur pyaar ki zaroorat hai na ki kisi ki ghatiya soch ki.Aur agar uski seva karna paap hai, toh main woh paap baar-baar karunga." -------- Set in the raw heartland of the 1960s, when women were treated like shadows, this is a tale of rage, rebellion, and a love that refuses to be silenced. VED PRATAP THAKUR - The fearless heir who returns to a village soaked in patriarchy. Behind his quiet eyes burns a storm; he doesn't bow... he breaks. VEDITA - Labelled "impure" and shamed for existing because of a "curse" that was actually a slow poison. When Ved looks at her, he doesn't see filth. He sees a soul worth fighting for. He will become her shield, even if he has to go against the very soil he was born from. A medical mystery. A dark tradition. A man who will rewrite fate. Join the journey to feel the thrill...
