HIDDEN AFFECTION
A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen. Hidden Affection - By @author_aryaa Creative Collaborator - @ehaawrites We can't wait to share this journey with you.

"She was the thorn fate shoved into his ruthless path... and now, the beast bows only to her." King Indrajeet Singh Rajput-the most feared name in all of Rajputana. At just 26, he's conquered more than half the desert kingdoms, his sword soaked in the blood of kings who dared look him in the eye. He has no heart, no mercy, and certainly no time for love. Until one hunt changes everything. A wounded Indrajeet stumbles into the quiet forest hut of Aarya Sahariya, a tribal healer with a sharp tongue and a soul made of sunshine. She's not royalty. She's not afraid. And she couldn't care less who he is. "Zakhm toh aapko sirf talwar se nahi, tevar se bhi milega, Maharaj." ("Your wounds come not just from swords, but from your ego too, Your Majesty.") For the first time, the Beast bleeds... and feels. When Aarya refuses his proposal, Indrajeet does what he does best-he takes. A royal wedding. A stolen bride. A war of fire and silk begins. But Aarya isn't just a girl from the forest. She has dreams-to become a doctor, to heal, to rise. In a palace where love is a weapon, and her own mother-in-law wants her erased, Aarya must fight for her identity, her education, and her heart. As desire turns into obsession, and enemies turn into soulmates, Indrajeet finds himself whispering, "Jo meri rani ko haath lagayega, uski dharti mein aag laga dunga." ("Whoever lays a hand on my queen, I'll burn their land to ashes.") Vote.Comment.Follow.♥️Complete

His Beautiful Punishment
To the world, Aarav Rathore was a monster wrapped in bespoke suits. To me... he was the cage I never wanted to escape. His large, calloused hand wrapped gently around my throat-not to hurt, but to own. The cold silver of my waist chain pressed into my bare stomach as he pinned me flush against the heavy mahogany of his study desk. "You think you can hide from me, Little Bird?" His voice was a lethal, gravelly whisper against my ear, sending a violent shiver of wet heat straight to my core. "You think you can wear things that beg to be ripped off, and I won't collect what belongs to me?" I gasped as his rough fingers hooked under the delicate lace of my panties, snapping the thin fabric effortlessly. "Aarav, please-" "Please what?" He bit down on the sensitive skin of my neck, swallowing my desperate whimper. His thick thigh forced my knees apart, leaving me completely, helplessly exposed to his burning, pitch-black gaze. "Tell me exactly what you want. Use your words, Priyanshi." My nails dug into his broad shoulders, my entire body trembling with a heavy, throbbing ache that only he could cure. I looked into the eyes of the devil I married, finally surrendering to his darkness. "Please," I sobbed, my hips arching eagerly into his touch. "Please, Daddy. Take it." A wicked, triumphant smirk touched his lips. "Good girl. Now, scream for me." · · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · · Priyanshi Verma prayed to Krishna for a fairytale love story. Instead, she was sold to the Devil in a bespoke suit. Aarav Rathore. Billionaire. Mafia king. A man who doesn't know how to love, only how to own. He married her to control her.
