The mandap was glowing softly under strings of marigold and fairy lights, but inside, it felt oddly calm-like the world had quieted down just for them.
Ishani sat with her head slightly lowered, her hands resting in her lap, fingers nervously tracing the edge of her bridal bangles. Her heart thudded louder than the wedding drums.
Ansh glanced sideways, catching the tiny, nervous movement.
Leaning just enough so only she could hear, he whispered, his tone playful but quiet,
"Relax... Sirf ek lifetime contract with guaranteed lifetime warranty. Pressure nahi lene ka"
["Relax... It's just a lifetime contract that has a guaranteed lifetime warranty. So, no pressure."]
She bit back a smile, her cheeks flushing despite the chaos around them.
Without looking at him, she murmured softly under her breath,
"Kam se kam, sign in karne wala bharosemand dikhta hai"
["At least the co-signer looks dependable."]
Ansh let out a small, amused breath-half a chuckle, half a sigh.
In that fleeting second, the noise faded again. The crowd blurred. The rituals continued. But they sat there, two strangers about to become something more, sharing a secret, subtle moment between the vows.
And somehow, neither of them looked away first.

#Mature Content in later chapters# A sharp pull by my wrist brought me back to the wall. I hold my breath for a moment. "what the hell" I cussed. "Shh, baby girl" he exclaimed. I cringed with the endearment he used. He brought his face near to my face. His breath is fanning all over my lips. It raised my heartbeat to a different level. It must be heard by him also. His smirked face saying it all. His eyes are gazing over my lips and he started closing the small gap we have between our lips to be mingled into one. Sensing his intentions I closed my eyes & moved my face to the left. He stopped right away & increase the gap between us which I really appreciate but the hold of his hand on my wrist is very tight. It started paining me slowly. "Now listen to me very carefully, we might be lawfully wedded husband & wife. But you are nothing to me. I have only married you because of my doll" he said rudely to me. I forcefully release my hand from his hulk like grip which resulted into breaking my bangles & a piece of glass cut into my hand. It hurt me like hell. There must be a big cut in my hand. Ignoring the pain in my hand. I showed my other hand finger towards him and said "even I was not interested in this marriage. I am kind of forced into this" Which I am not, my subconscious mocked me. But I wont give him that satisfaction. Although I was not forced but I had no other option than to accept this marriage. ______________________ To know more do read "Bound by Vows"😉 WARNING- This is the first draft and you will find mistakes but i will correct them when i get the time to edit it. ##I have removed the story from here and moved to another platform.

-:𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃:- -This book moves a bit faster than my usual pace. Some events might feel slightly fast-forwarded, but I've done that to keep the essence tight, the emotions raw, and the story impactful without unnecessary dragging. . . He exhaled, running a hand through his hair. "Roop, shaadi kisi majboori mein nahi ki jati." (Marriage isn't something that should happen out of compulsion.) A bitter smile tugged at my lips. "Yahi toh farq hai tumhari aur meri zindagi mein, Anirudh. Tumhare paas choice hai, mere paas nahi." (That's the difference between your life and mine, Anirudh. You have a choice. I don't.) His expression darkened. "Main tumhari family se baat karunga-" "Nahi!" I cut him off, my voice sharp with desperation. "You won't understand. You've never seen helplessness, Anirudh. You don't know that when a girl has no options, she only looks for survival." A strange silence stretched between us, thick with unspoken pain. Anirudh sighed and leaned back against the bench, his fingers tapping against his knee. "You're telling me you'd marry any stranger just because you have no other way out?" I stiffened. "You're not a stranger." His lips quirked up, almost amused. "Until a day ago, I was." I clenched my fists. "I don't care who you are. I just need to accept this match, or the other option will destroy me." Anirudh fell silent, his gaze steady on me. The playfulness in his eyes faded, replaced by something more intense, more thoughtful. Finally, he asked, "And what if I tell you that I don't want to marry you either?"Complete

She Chose To Stay
Before I give description about this story i wanna tell you guys this story will be in HINDI & ENGLISH MIX..without any translation.. sorry loviess.. This is an arranged marriage story-slightly fictional, but deeply rooted in reality. Through this story, I'll try my best to share meaningful life lessons and show what real love looks like, whether it begins before marriage or after. Because no relationship is perfect, but with understanding, patience, and effort, even an arranged marriage can turn into a bond stronger than love itself. This story isn't just about romance-it's about growth, pain, healing, and the kind of love that's built, not found. AVYANSH RUDRANSH KHURANA, 29, is the owner of Mayansh Group of Industries, one of Mumbai's top jewellery companies. A self-made man with a broken heart. Once cheerful, now cold. His past love, Jhanvi, left scars he never healed from. Since then, love and marriage were doors he refused to open-until now. DHRUVI DHRUV SINGHANIA, 21, is a sweet, bubbly jewellery design student. Kind to everyone-even those who hurt her. But beneath her smile hides a secret pain no one knows about. Now imagine if these two got married. Sounds predictable? No. This isn't your typical "cold man melts for bubbly girl" story. This is about pain, healing, patience, and slow, imperfect love. It won't be easy. There will be more tears than smiles. But in the end? The ending will be beautiful.. Kyuki kehte hai na..jispe bit ti hai ussi ko samjah ata hai..toh bas happy endings are the best.Complete
