He was just six months old when his parents disappeared - no warning, no reason, no goodbye.
Raised in silence by grandparents who refused to speak of the past, Aarav grew up with questions that haunted him. Why was he left behind? What were they running from? And why does no one dare mention their names?
Now, as a father of two, Aarav is trying to build the life he never had. But when his second child is born, the past begins to creep in - in whispers, in old photographs, in the eyes of strangers who seem to know too much.
The more he searches for answers, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Because some family secrets were buried for a reason.

Unwanted Husband
Dhriti never believed in happy endings. Aarav Kumar was her beginning and her forever, the boy who raised her dreams and loved her like she was the only truth in his world. But fate was crueler than love. He was declared dead, leaving her with a heart that no longer knew how to beat the same way. And then came Arjun Srivastav. A marriage not born from love, but from circumstance. Two strangers forced into a life neither of them asked for. For a long time, their home was nothing but silence, distance, and unspoken pain. Until one night changed everything. A helpless mute baby, barely ten months old, was found abandoned in Arjun's arms. A child with no voice, and no one to call his own. Something in Dhriti broke when she saw him. And in that breaking, a choice was made. They adopted him. What started as responsibility slowly became something neither of them could ignore. A reason to stay. A reason to try. A reason to look at each other beyond the walls they built. But love is never simple when the past still breathes in the present. One heart still belongs to memory. One heart is learning to feel. And a child without a voice might just become the reason two broken souls learn how to be a family. Because sometimes, healing doesn't come from love first. It comes from learning to stay. #1 in softcore on 06|09|26 Mafia ×Doctor Oprhan × Billionaire Forced marriage Slow burn Obsessed for eachother Past trauma Hidden Identity

Bound By Love ✔
Formerly, This Book Is Known As "TWO HEARTS ENTWINED TOGETHER" He thought she betrayed him. She thought love would bring him back. Arnav and Aaradhana were soulmates... until silence tore them apart. "I loved you like my whole world, Aaradhana." "Then why did you destroy it with your doubt, Arnav?" Three years ago, one lie whispered in the dark changed everything. Arnav believed the worst. Aaradhana chose to stay silent-out of love, out of fear, out of pain. And just like that, a love so pure turned into heartbreak. "I died every day waiting for you," she whispers. "You should've screamed the truth instead of whispering lies," he replies, eyes burning. Now, after years of distance and despair, fate throws them together again-not through their own story, but through the blooming love of their younger siblings. "What a joke... love runs in the family," he mocks, eyes cold. "It used to," she says softly, "until you taught it how to bleed." Aaradhana never stopped loving him. She clung to every shared smile, every unspoken word, every promise he once made. Arnav? He buried his love beneath rage, convincing himself it was betrayal, not love, that lived in her silence. "You still haunt me, Aaradhana. I see you in every shadow, every silence, every damn heartbeat." "Then why do you keep running from the only place you ever belonged?" As secrets unravel and the past claws its way back, they must face the truth: Love never truly leaves. But pride? Pride can burn down everything it touches. Will Arnav open his eyes before it's too late? Will Aaradhana's patience finally be rewarded-or shattered beyond repair? A storm of emotions. A past that refuses to die. And a love that still dares to hope. 🕰️ Start Date: 3rd April 2017 🕰️ End Date: 18th June 2017 🕰️ Edited Date: November 2025Complete

It feels... right. No love at first sight. No fate.

The Cub Among Lions
8 years old Aarya was raised in silence, in fear, and in chains. She never knew a life beyond bruises and rules - where food was a privilege, smiles were sins, and love was just a myth. For eight years, she lived under the iron hand of her mother and her cruel boyfriend, taught to be invisible and obedient or be punished. She didn't know family, joy, or even her own worth. Until one day, everything changed. When her abusers were arrested in a drug bust, Aarya thought she was finally free. But freedom was a lie. Because this time she is captured by a monster even more dangerous, a ghost from the underworld, long thought dead. Where she learns a truth more unbelievable than fiction: she is not alone. She is the daughter of Satyaveer Malhotra - one of the most feared mafia dons in the country - and sister to three ruthless crime lords. Thrown from hell into a den of lions, Aarya finds herself in a world she cannot understand - a world of power, guns, secrets, and brothers who speak in bullets and silence. Cold, broken, and dangerous - they don't know how to love. And neither does she. But blood remembers. And somewhere beneath the scars, loyalty, and violence... a family begins to rise..........
