Hate me, Hold me
Roop Menon never expected her new job at Malhotra Multicare Hospital to come with a side dish of chaos-and definitely not in the form of two impossibly magnetic twin brothers. One is all soft smiles and quiet stares. The other? Leather jackets, bruised knuckles, and a glare that could set off fire alarms. Vihaan Malhotra is the charming younger twin-glasses perched on his nose, always ready with a gentle joke or cup of coffee when her day turns hellish. Aaryan Malhotra is the older one-the infuriating CEO who never wears a suit, never says more than necessary, and somehow knows exactly how to push all her buttons. And Roop? She's smack in the middle. Fighting them. Fighting herself. Fighting the war between rage and... something dangerously close to desire. But the more she learns about the brothers, the more tangled things get. Secrets start surfacing. Loyalties get tested. And the walls Roop built around her heart? They're starting to crack. ~~ "He brings me calm," she whispered. "And you? You bring me storms I don't know how to survive."

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

When their families arrange marriage between them, it's not just a clash of personalities but a clash of worlds.

But Swara, with her warmth and innocence, starts melting the walls he built around himself. Both are forced to confront their fears, desires, and the secrets that bind them. But in a world where business deals are cold and calculated, can love survive? "Do you believe in fate?" he asks. "Not really." She asks taken aback by his question, "Me neither, but now I'm starting to." Her pulse quickens at the irresistible drop in his tone. "Why is that?" He grabs her waist, pulling her towards him as her breath hitched by the proximity and whispers. "I would've found you no matter what, butterfly. It was just a matter of time." @ravvinouzo No translations are allowed.
