A marriage that was born in hatred.
Forced into a union she never imagined,
under the cold shadow of a barrel,
she became a bride -
not by choice,
but by fate.
There were no vows,
no promises of love.
Only possession...
and a bond sealed by fear.
One thing was certain -
there was no easy way out of this marriage.
The Bride Behind the Barrel
A wedding without vows.
A love that isn't gentle,
isn't kind -
but consuming.
Is it love...
or obsession?
And when obsession wears the face of devotion,
it becomes something far more dangerous.

My life never gets tired of surprising me. I thought I was the only one being replaced, but life surprised me when my groom was also replaced. But it's not a coincidence. He is the one who replaced him as a groom. 𝑽𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒐𝒛𝒐𝒗 ⟡ As I pulled the trigger, I saw those blue eyes, wide with fear, and I felt nothing. No pity, no remorse. Just the satisfaction of knowing she couldn't hide from me. I will cage her by my side, not with love or kindness, but with chains forged from fear and control. She will stay not because she wishes to, but because I will strip her of the freedom to leave, ensuring her every step and breath is mine to command. ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──Complete
Merger of Hearts
THE BRIDE I'm nervous, but excited to marry him. My heart skips a beat every time I see him. There are people everywhere, but my eyes find only him. He says he loves me... but his eyes tell another story. Everything feels like a dream, and I'm terrified that if I open my eyes, it'll all vanish. THE GROOM My bride is beautiful-irresistible even-but uninvited in my heart. She's desirable... but unwanted. She dreamed of roses, fairy tales, and Prince Charming. But all I have to offer her are thorns and a reality she never saw coming. She doesn't know that this marriage isn't a beginning-it's a storm. Because they say there's a fine line between love and hate... And we're about to cross it.Complete
His Name In Every Line
She opened her eyes slowly, blinking against the blur of soft golden lights and the scent of fresh roses lingering heavily in the air. The room around her was beautifully adorned-delicate drapes, scattered petals, and the faint echo of wedding music still humming somewhere in the distance. But something felt wrong. Terribly wrong. Her breath caught in her throat as unease curled deep within her chest. Why was she here? This wasn't her dream. This wasn't her moment. It was her step-sister's wedding. So why was she the one waking up in this bridal chamber... as if she had been written into a story that was never hers? Her heart pounded as she turned toward the ornate mirror across the room. But the moment her gaze met her reflection, her world shattered. A strangled scream tore from her lips. The heavy door burst open. People rushed in, their faces draining of color, horror settling into every expression. But one pair of eyes didn't hold shock. One pair of eyes... burned with something far darker. Something that felt like anger... like possession... like a truth she didn't yet understand. Her trembling gaze fell back to the mirror. The black beaded mangalsutra around her neck- It wasn't hers. The vermilion boldly streaked across her hairline- It was never meant for her. It was meant for her step-sister. But now... it marked her. Aavya Verma. As if somewhere, in lines she never wrote, in a fate she never chose... his name had already been etched into hers. And in one cruel twist of destiny, she was bound in a marriage she never wanted-wrapped in traditions that now felt more like chains than blessings. The vermilion on her forehead wasn't love. It was a mark. Of betrayal. Of a decision made without her. Of a story rewritten without her consent. She was never meant to be the bride. But she became one. Not by choice... Not by love... But because somewhere... somehow... she had been written into him- his name in every line of a life she never chose.
Forever Heaven
"Shanvi, stop crying, and get ready," she urged. "Congratulations, from today you are husband and wife," the priest announced to the newly married couple. ---------- "Don't expect anything from me, and I will never consider you my wife," he stated, his voice devoid of any emotion. She met his gaze, finding his face an impassive mask. Despite the tears threatening to spill, she nodded, striving to maintain her composure. Would love bloom in their hearts, or would fate weave a different tapestry for them? The future remained unwritten, their destinies hanging in the balance. ---------- NOTE:- English is not my first language, so there will be some grammatical and spelling mistakes.. *Do not copy this*Complete
