Some stories begin with love at first sight.
This one began with a shove on the playground and a pair of furious, tear-filled eyes.
Ryaan Malhotra and Khushi Mehra had been a part of each other's lives long before either truly understood what it meant to love or hate. As children, their worlds were inseparably linked-neighbors whose parents were the closest of friends, families that celebrated every festival together, hearts that grew up side by side.
Yet for all the closeness, Ryaan and Khushi seemed to have mastered only one thing: how to drive each other utterly mad. Where she was sunshine and calm, he was storm and steel. Where she offered softness, he returned with cutting sarcasm. Their love-hate dance was legendary, a source of endless amusement-and occasional worry-for their families.
But beneath every sharp remark, beneath every glare exchanged across dinner tables or rolled eyes during family gatherings, lay a bond neither truly understood. Because for all his coldness, Ryaan was always the first to appear by Khushi's side when the world dared to trouble her. And for all her protests and stubborn defiance, Khushi's heart never quite managed to stop racing when those dark, unreadable eyes found hers.
This was not the gentle unfolding of a love story.
This was a tangle of old grudges, unspoken longings, and hearts that had been intertwined since childhood-whether they liked it or not.
Will they ever realize their love?

Deewana Dil
Some love stories don't start with butterflies. They start with silence. With bruises hidden under full sleeves. With eyes that don't sparkle like they used to. Shrishti used to be the brightest spark in the room. She was laughter in hallways, wit in classrooms, fire in debates. She was the girl who wore yellow just because it made her feel like sunshine. But now, she flinched at loud voices. Apologized too quickly. Avoided mirrors. And no one noticed. Except Rohan. He had known her since they were five. She was the first person to teach him how to cheat at board games, the one who used to braid his hair in two messy plaits just to annoy him, the one who cried with him when his dog died in the third grade. Now, in their eleventh year, everything had changed. His father was gone. His mother depended on him for everything. His shoulders ached under the weight of responsibility no teenager should bear. And the girl he loved was quietly being destroyed by someone who claimed to love her. He watched her fade. Day by day. Smile by broken smile. And he stayed quiet. Because she was in a relationship. Because he didn't want to be the boy who ruined things. But watching her pretend, watching her hurt, watching her lie to the world and to herself-it burned. And maybe... it was time. Time to step in. Time to remind her who she used to be. Time to show her that love wasn't supposed to break you. It was supposed to heal you.Complete

Till Death Do Us Part
The day meant to be the best day of her life had turned out to be the worst one. Celebration of love and harmony, which the night was supposed to be, ended up as the witness to bloodshed and hatred. With the stench of corpses choking her and the sight of mutilated bodies shattering her, Khushi stood benumbed, decked up in exquisite bridal finery, and the signs of a newly married woman shining brightly against her paled demeanor and the blood which had splayed against her; the blood of her own, maybe of her own father. Her father's lifeless body was strewn across several others and her mother's breathing yet lost body hovered over his; her hollow and teary eyes pleading him to rise and embrace her but her efforts were in vain. But that was not the only agony killing her from inside. The affliction of betrayal, from her own husband, on the wedding day, after reiteration of his love from the passionate ministrations on their first night together, felt like the worst nightmare coming true. From the pieces of her broken heart, the resolve to avenge arose and Khushi Gupta was not the one to let her heart's desire be unheard. Deceit for a deceit, eye for an eye, heart for a heart, so what if the world ends or goes blind? After all, all is fair in love and war and Arnav Singh Raizada had turned her love into the inspiration for a bloody war. ~Stab the body and it heals, but injure the heart and the wound will last for a lifetime.~ Banner: @KoeliDalmiyaComplete
My Replaced Husband
The Dixits and Malhotras-two billionaire families bound by decades of friendship-had always dreamed of uniting their legacies through marriage. Their children grew up together, treating each other like family. Among them, Sonakshi Dixit had always been particularly close to everyone in the Malhotra family-except for one person: Devansh Malhotra, the reserved and aloof eldest son. Unlike his charming and outgoing younger brother, Rohan, whom she was set to marry, Devansh kept his distance, rarely engaging in conversations unless necessary. Sonakshi had accepted this marriage for the sake of her family, her parents, and her beloved chachu-chachi, who had always treated her as their own daughter. But deep down, her heart had never belonged to Rohan-it had always been drawn to Devansh, the man who never spared her more than a few words but whose silent presence spoke volumes to her. The only person who knew this secret was her best friend, Rhea Malhotra-Devansh and Rohan's younger sister. With the wedding already in motion, the absence of the groom would be a disaster for both families' reputations. But before anyone could panic, Devansh did what everyone silently expected him to do-he stepped forward. Without hesitation, without emotion, he took his younger brother's place. Not out of love, but out of duty. He would marry Sonakshi, not because he loved her-but because it was the only way to protect the honor of both families. As Sonakshi found herself standing before the man she had secretly loved, dressed as his bride, she realized that this was not just a marriage of convenience. It was fate giving them a chance-whether Devansh would ever return her feelings, however, was a question that only time could answer.Complete
His Silence Her Storm
"Siddharth..." He didn't say anything. Just walked towards me. His eyes were darker than night-intense, unreadable. Hungry. "I shouldn't have come," I whispered, my voice shaky. "This is not-" His hands circle my wrist pulling me behind the water tank, where the fading light wouldn't betray us. "You like the way they look at you, don't you?" Before I could answer, he shoved me against the wall, his body pinning mine. The rough concrete scraped my back, but the sting was nothing compared to the fire in his eyes. His eyes looked dark and dangerous. His mouth crashed into mine, claiming, punishing. I gasped, and he took it as invitation, his tongue sliding against mine with a possessiveness that left me dizzy. His hands were everywhere-tugging at my clothes, gripping my waist hard enough to bruise. I whimpered as his fingers slipped under my skirt, rough and impatient. ..........
