She thought she was marrying a dream. She didn't know he was building her a prison.
When Mira Sen, a brilliant but quiet art restorer, marries the charismatic billionaire Aarav Malhotra, the media calls it a fairy tale. But behind the closed doors of their glass mansion, secrets lurk in the shadows.
As Mira begins to uncover whispers of Aarav's past, a series of "accidents" start to unfold around her. Every answer leads to more questions. Why does Aarav never talk about his first wife? Why is she seeing a woman in red in her dreams-and in mirrors?
When Mira finds a locked room in the mansion that no one is allowed to enter, she picks the lock. What she finds inside will turn her world upside down.
But Mira is not the victim she seems.
She has secrets too.
And she's not afraid to use them.
By the time the final page turns, you'll question who was caged... and who was in control all along.

The Cursed Prince
In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Complete

𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬
Reyansh×Aarini Some accidents aren't just fate-they're a storm written in destiny. When fiery, stubborn Aarini Mehta crashes-quite literally-into Reyansh Oberoi's perfectly calculated life, she doesn't expect her world to spiral into chaos. He's the last person she wants to be tangled with: arrogant, insufferable, and hiding a darkness behind those unreadable eyes. She calls him "Ostrich" for his overconfident head-in-the-clouds attitude. He calls her "Troublemaker","wildcat"-because that's what she brings into his life. He was chaos in a crisp suit. She was fire wrapped in silence. Their story was never meant to be gentle. From the moment their eyes locked, it was war. He was arrogant. Annoying. Unbearably handsome. She was fiery. Stubborn. A walking headache. They clashed like thunder-every encounter more explosive than the last. They argue like it's a sport. They fight like they breathe. And yet, something burns beneath every sarcastic word, every stolen glance. Reyansh is the kind of man who hides danger beneath charm, secrets beneath his smirk-and obsession behind his eyes. And somewhere between their heated arguments and forced encounters, he begins to crave her in ways even he doesn't understand. Then one promise changes everything. One deal that tilts the axis of her world. She agrees to give in to one demand. But Reyansh Oberoi doesn't play fair. And when he wants something-he takes it. Even if it means forcing her into his world, his rules... his arms. But the scariest part? She's starting to feel the same. But Aarini has secrets too. Dark ones. Deep ones. And the more Reyansh uncovers, the more dangerous his love becomes. He's possessive. Dangerously patient. "Accidentally Yours" is a slow-burn dark romance where enemies turn to something more twisted, more tangled-and far more addictive. With hidden pasts, sizzling tension, and a love that was never soft, this story isn't about falling. It's about crashing. Start Date :- 29/06/202
