Scars she didn't choose
A dark romance about love, shame, and the price of being "too broken" to be chosen.
Rhea was never the girl people defended.
She was the one they whispered about.
The girl with a scandal. The girl with a story.
The girl whose nudes were leaked before she even understood what betrayal meant.
And then came Aarav-the boy who made her feel seen.
Loved. Safe.
He said her past didn't matter...
Until the world reminded him of it.
He kissed her like he meant forever.
Then left her like she was nothing.
Twice.
This is not a fairytale.
This is about a girl who survived shame, silence, and a love that wasn't brave enough to stay.
💔 Because love may be real-but respect is louder.

Not Yours To Keep
At nineteen, Aariya's world fell apart. She grew up with her poor aunt and uncle after losing her parents. Life was tough, but they gave her a home and helped her finish school. She worked hard and got a small job at a local hotel-just enough to live with dignity. Then came a promise of a better job in the city. She trusted it. But it was a trap. She was nearly sold to a brothel-betrayed and terrified. That's when Reyansh showed up. Rich. Arrogant. The kind of man used to getting what he wants. He noticed her-not because she cried, but because she didn't. She didn't care about his money or charm, and that bothered him. So, he did something reckless. He bought her. Not to save her. Not to love her. Just to keep her. He brought her to his home-not as a lover or a wife, just a girl trapped in a golden cage. But something changed. In her silence, he saw her pain. In her strength, he saw something real. She wanted freedom. He couldn't let her go. He never meant to care. But now... she's the only one who makes him feel anything at all.Complete
Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.

Now they meet in the dark. No labels. No promises. Just heat. They're not in love. They don't do love. They do bruises and breathless nights, sharp tongues and softer lies. They do madness.

Scars of the Heart
"Love once gave me wings... but betrayal carved them off and left me bleeding. For five years, I swore I'd never forgive her, no matter how much my soul burned for her. Now that she's mine again, I'll show her love isn't always a blessing-it can be a curse." - Aarav's POV "He held me once like I was the universe between his palms. Now I am nothing but ashes in his fire. Yet, why does my heart still wait for him to see the truth?" - Meera's POV ❝She gave him her soul. He gave her his scars. Now the silence between them is louder than love.❞ Meera once believed in forever. She believed in stolen glances across packed trains, in cheap coffee that tasted like love, in promises whispered under skies that didn't need witnesses. She believed Aarav Malhotra was her destiny. Until the night he thought she betrayed him. Five years of hatred sharpened every corner of Aarav's heart. When fate brought Meera back as his wife, love wasn't waiting for her. Vengeance was. The home she stepped into wasn't a beginning-it was her prison. Every day became a battlefield of her silence against his rage. Every bruise screamed the love she still carried, every tear drowned in the vow she refused to break. She endured-until her body carried not just his cruelty, but his child. But truth is merciless. The betrayal that shattered him never existed. The lies that condemned her were born of greed and malice. And by the time Aarav discovers it-it may already be too late. Because silence is not forgiveness. And sometimes the deadliest love stories are the ones where both survive... broken. A story of shattered voices, unspoken truths, and the brutal collision of love and guilt-this is not a fairy tale. This is the silence that can either kill... or redeemComplete
REDRAWN BY FATE
Once, there was a boy who loved with all his heart. A love so simple, so pure - the kind that blooms in school corridors and ends with promises written in notebooks. He was a boy who longed for the love he lost - a father gone too soon, a heart half-empty. And when she came, he finally felt safe. But safety turned into fear... Fear of losing her, fear that his love itself was a curse. His love grew possessive - and her wings broke beneath it. One day, she left forever... And with her, she took the last piece of him. Years later, he married - not for love, but for duty. A woman who deserved the world... but was tied to a man whose heart belonged to a grave. Now, two souls live under one roof - one haunted by the past, and the other punished for a love she never received. This isn't a tale of love found - it's a story of love surviving - in silence, in distance, in pain.
