Ahana Parwar, twenty-two, had just completed her bachelor's degree. Raised in a strict, middle-class home, her path was laid out clearly-secure a stable job, stay modest, and above all, avoid love.
To her parents, love was a myth-nothing but a hormonal distraction. They warned her against it constantly, urging her to focus only on her career.
And Ahana obeyed. She became the daughter they expected. When they wanted silence, she offered it. When they demanded gratitude for a life that quietly suffocated her, she gave that too. When they asked for her voice, the words never came out right. She was their perfect reflection-but in that mirror, she couldn't find herself.
Still, she loved them. Deeply.
She felt trapped in the quiet house they built, a nest she longed to fly from. Every step toward freedom only pulled her deeper inside. A part of her craved the world outside-to find passion, wear clothes that felt like her, and feel the joy of simply living.
But she gave up on those dreams. Her life faded into routine, her hopes reduced to whispers.
Until destiny rose like a tide.
And that tide had a name: Arnav Veransh.
Once calm, now a storm, Arnav is a man drowning in grief. Haunted by a tragedy that destroyed his family, he's consumed by guilt, convinced he deserves no happiness.
When their paths cross, they are forced into a loveless marriage-an arrangement that feels more like a punishment than a union.
To her, it's hate at first sight.
To him, it's the torment he believes he deserves.
Trapped in this twisted bond, sparks fly-not of love, but rage. Yet somewhere between their endless fights, something dangerous begins to bloom.
Obsession. Raw, relentless, and consuming.
When hatred blurs into something more, can love truly survive the storm?
She is the pebble in his current.
He is the flood, determined to be-
Always After You.
After being involved with a cold-hearted mafia boss, Robyn Lehman decides its time to run. Little did she know, she was carrying the future heir to his entire empire.
Will he find her again? Or will she stay hidden forever?

He got up from the bed, pulling up his pants and not taking a glance at me. I lay in the sheets, still dazed by what we had just done.
"Get up." He barks, making me jump a bit. I was confused beyond belief. Just moments ago he was making love to me...
I did as he said, wrapping the loose sheet around my body, he continued to glare as I did so, and I made my way to his side of the bed.
He held out a hand, an angry look on his face. "Don't. Just go. This was a mistake, and it won't happen again." He mutters coldly.
I feel my face heating up and my eyes welling with tears. "Oh.." I stare at him, my emotions beginning to be hard to keep in.
He laughs, shaking his head. "You thought I cared?" He let out a loud chuckle. "You mean nothing to me. Now go to your room, I don't want to see you in here again."
