BOOK 3 OF BRIDE SERIES
_______________________________________________________________
Rukh Khanna has mastered the art of hiding behind silence. Sweet, introverted, and untouched by the world's chaos, she carries the memory of a love lost too. To her family, she's the obedient daughter. To herself, she's a girl who stopped believing she deserved more.
Ruyan Randhawa was once the man who could light up a room- until his beloved wife Sara died months after giving birth to their daughter, Raya. Now, his world is small and fragile: just him, his little girl, and the ghosts he refuses to bury. He lives for Raya, and for the quiet promise he made to Sara's memory - that no one would ever replace her.
But life has other plans. When their families conspire to fix an unwanted alliance between the widower and the lonely girl- all for the sake of giving Raya a mother's warmth- Rukh and Ruyan find themselves bound in a loveless marriage neither asked for.

An Unexpected Love Story ✅
Maithili has always lived life on her own terms. A fierce, independent woman, she refuses to bow down to societal pressures-even when her mother insists on her marriage. If she's going to marry, it will be on her conditions. No compromises. No settling. Abhi Ram, a devoted single father, has built his world around his three-year-old daughter, Myra. Love, romance, and marriage were never on his priority list-until Maithili walks into his life, turning his carefully structured world upside down. When Maithili and Abhi Ram are brought together by fate (or perhaps by meddling families), their worlds collide in a whirlwind of tension and uncertainty. Two opposites, bound by fate yet divided by their differences. Will Abhi Ram accept Maithili's bold conditions, or will his pride stand in the way? Can she embrace a life where she is not the only priority? Will their bond remain a mere friendship, or will love sneak into the equation? Can Maithili adjust to the challenges of becoming an instant stepmother to Myra, or will her desire for independence push them apart? As they spend more time together, lines blur, and emotions simmer beneath the surface. But just as they start to find common ground, secrets from Abhi Ram's past threaten to unravel everything. In this journey of emotions, choices, and unexpected connections, destiny has its own plans. But will they surrender to it? Or will their differences pull them apart?

LOVE BORN FROM OBLIGATION
After losing her father, 23-year-old Yusrah finds herself trapped in a life that no longer feels like hers - suffocated under the roof of a cruel stepmother and cornered into a marriage she never asked for. With no job, no support, and no escape, her only way out becomes an arranged marriage to a man she's never met... a man whose silence is louder than any vow. Zafar Malik is still grieving - not loudly, but in the quiet, haunting ways only a broken man can. A father first, a CEO second, and a widower always, Zafar has locked his past behind a door no one enters. But when his parents choose Yusrah as a bride for him - a soft-spoken girl with no voice in the matter - he's forced to confront the life he's buried, the daughter he's struggling to raise, and a future he's not sure he wants. She didn't ask for him. He didn't want her. But in a house full of silence, grief, and aching, something begins to grow - slowly, painfully - between a girl learning to breathe and a man trying to remember how. This isn't a love story built on butterflies. It's a story of sacrifice. Of duty. Of aching hearts and second chances. Of a woman becoming a wife in a stranger's home... ... and a man discovering that even after grief, love might still have room to bloom.Complete
