[Under editing] Dhvani Bansal's life was never hers to live. Burdened by a past she hides beneath quiet smiles and lowered eyes, she knows silence too well-silence that suffocates, silence that remembers. When her marriage is arranged to Divyansh Mittal - the heir of a powerful business empire-she expects nothing more than duty and distance. But Divyansh is not what she imagined. Behind his calm exterior lies a man who sees more than she wants to reveal, who notices the cracks she desperately tries to conceal. He is gentle where she feared control, patient where she expected anger. Yet, he too is human-capable of mistakes that might wound her fragile trust. As their worlds intertwine, so do their wounds. In the chaos of family, traditions, and unspoken truths, two strangers must decide if love is enough to heal scars the world never sees. Because some scars aren't loud. Some are silent. And sometimes, the quietest ones ache the most. ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── Every scar has a story. And every story deserves to be heard. This is Dhvani Bansal and Divyansh Mittal's journey-a tale of silence, strength, and love that learns to grow through brokenness. Will you join them in this journey? 🌙✨ ~By SLESHA #4 on rromance (13/09/25) #1 on rromance (07/11/25) #2 on arrangedmarriage (08/11/25) #1 on arrangedmarriage (25/12/25)

Wed To The Warden
Genre: Arranged Marriage Romance | Drama | Slow Burn | Enemies to Lovers When sweet, small-town schoolteacher Naina Mathur is unexpectedly proposed to by none other than Ryan Malhotra - Asia's most feared, ruthless business tycoon - her world flips upside down. Shy, soft-hearted, and deeply rooted in her modest life, Naina never dreamed she'd be swept into the glittering chaos of the ultra-rich. And certainly not into the arms of a man who barely speaks, never smiles, and carries secrets colder than his steel gaze. Ryan Malhotra doesn't believe in love. He doesn't trust softness. But when family duty and business align, he agrees to an arranged marriage with the one woman who doesn't fear his name - just the world he lives in. What starts as a strategic alliance slowly sparks with unexpected emotions, clashing ideals, and dangerous attraction. As wedding functions unfold in royal palaces and under the unforgiving eye of the media, Naina and Ryan are forced to confront their buried pasts, internal fears, and growing desire. From awkward first meetings, protective touches, jealousy, and lingering glances - to the playful meddling of cousins and the scars that shaped them both - they begin to discover that love isn't always born from choice. Sometimes, it's destiny's most powerful storm. Two strangers. One arrangement. And a love neither saw coming. 🔑 Primary Keywords Arranged marriage romance Billionaire romance South Asian romance Indian royal romance Opposites attract Tycoon love story Teacher x CEO romance Rich boy poor girl romance Emotional slow burn romance Enemies to lovers Forced proximity romance Palace wedding romance Protective male lead Innocent girl love story Cultural romance fiction Family drama romance Fictional Indian romanceComplete
