🌸 Sick Leave, Rishta & HR Trouble
Arranged Marriage x Workplace Romance | Emotional | Flirty | Family Drama
Description:
I faked a sick leave to skip work.
Just one day off - to meet a rishta.
No big deal.
Until I walked into the living room with a tea tray...
and saw my team lead sitting on the sofa.
The same senior developer I'd emailed the day before, claiming I had a fever.
He looked at me, sipped his tea, and said - loud enough for both families to hear:
"Aren't you supposed to be sick?"
I wanted the earth to swallow me whole.
But it only got worse.
We were sent to the terrace to "get to know each other."
He leaned back against the railing, arms folded, eyes smug.
"So... you don't wake up for morning stand-up meetings, but for a rishta, you're glowing by 10 AM?"
I glared. He grinned.
"Careful," he whispered, stepping closer. "I might just say yes... and hold this sick-leave secret forever."
My stomach flipped.
I hated him.
I wanted him to say more.
But just when I started to believe this might be something real -
his family spoke.
> "She's not fair enough."
"Too average."
"Not at his level - in looks, or career."
Now I'm stuck between a man who makes me blush and burn,
and a family who says I'm not enough.
And I don't know what scares me more -
losing my chance at love... or losing myself to fit in.
---
A slow-burn arranged marriage romance full of tension, teasing, stolen glances, and one girl learning to fight for her worth - even when love gets complicated.

Not Likely
He was seated at the head of the table, his laptop open in front of him, no doubt already prepared to ask us a bunch of invasive questions. But he wasn't looking at the screen. He was looking at me. Stopping in my tracks, I looked back, wondering if I had spilt something on my clothes. A quick look down showed that nothing was out of the ordinary. So I looked up again to find his meditative gaze fixed on me, sizing me up. Now my gaze narrowed. "What?" I asked, trying to bring politeness into my accusatory tone. He seemed to notice that my effort had failed because he raised an eyebrow, his head tilting to the side as he appraised me. "You're the head of marketing for FMCG?" he finally asked, his rich voice giving me a picture of a high bank balance. Some people just have the voice that feels like a fat cheque. He has that voice in a low, deep register. "Yes," I replied, trying to not get distracted by his intimidating presence. "What are you; 12?" he asked, in a quietly scoffing tone. What the- My eyes narrowed further.

MOHINI X SHREEDHAR He fastened his seat belt, I tried to copy him by pulling the seat belt from it's side, but it got stuck, I nervously chuckled at him who had a serious face, I again tried, my hair fell on my face and a blush crept my cheeks. I know I kinda look really weird right now but the belt- my movement stopped. He kept his left hand over me on the seat and the other behind me and moved his face closer to me, and kept moving closer with his annoyingly handsome face. Is he trying to kiss me? Obviously he's! It's our first date after all and he is going to kiss me like they do in Hollywood films. I closed my eyes, and pouted my lips, waiting for his lips. I felt the seat belt get fastened, but his lips never touched mine. I waited a bit more, but still nothing happened, did he faint or something? I furrowed my eyebrows and opened my eyes to find his left hand resting on the gear, other on the steering wheel. He is back at his driving position but his face looking at me, he is looking amused but he is trying so much to hide it, he also tried to stop his smile. I blinked my eyes, and looked down to find that my seat belt was fastened. Wait... He wasn't going to kiss me, he was... He... Came closer to help me with the seat belt... And here I... I have never been this embarrassed in my whole life! Kanhaaa! MINAKSHI X TRISHUL "But where will I sleep?" I asked him, but I noticed that he is already asleep.

I took a pillow and lay down on the floor mat, realising my place in his heart. I closed my eyes.Complete

My words shattered the moment. The Rage and hatred in his eyes were back. My heart clenched. His grip on me tightened, almost hurting me and grounding me in a reality I didn't want to face. "Princess," he sneered, his voice dripping with scorn. The once-affectionate pet name now sounded like a curse, and I hated the way it made me feel-ashamed, broken. "Your sorry doesn't mean shit. You made your choice and now it's time to pay for it." Before I could respond, before I could process his words, he released me.

Part 1 SUBMISSIVE ( ARRANGED MARRIAGE) SMUT/18+/ADULT/MATURE "We are married, and I vow to give you my last name," he whispered in my ear as we sat in front of the holy fire. "And since a relationship should be 50-50, you should vow to scream my first name." He was the CEO of the largest business in the world, a billionaire, and undeniably hot. But he had a secret: he was broken. The world feared him because of the kind of monster he was. He hated everyone. Could a monster be human? She was the fragile, innocent, and sheltered daughter of another billionaire. She knew nothing about the harsh realities of the world, as her parents had always loved and protected her. She was like spring-joyful and beautiful inside and out. Could she handle a monster as a husband? In the stark, sterile confines of his corporate empire, he reigned supreme. A man of ice, his heart as cold as the steel towers that surrounded him. She, his assistant, was merely a cog in his machine, invisible to his disdainful gaze. At home, however, a different story unfolded. They were bound by a secret marriage, a union known only to them. Yet, even within the walls of their shared sanctuary, her worth seemed to elude him. Until his best friend arrived. A charming, charismatic man who instantly captivated her. The spark of a forbidden attraction ignited within her, a flame that threatened to consume the fragile peace of their carefully constructed lives. As his friend's advances grew bolder, a dormant jealousy awoke within him. He began to claim her as his own, a possessive force that both terrified and exhilarated her.

SILK AND SIN
You and your family came to see me-I said no. Baat khatam. Rishta kahin aur dekh lo. And LEAVE. ME. ALONE!" My chest heaved with emotion, my vision blurred with tears I was trying hard not to let fall. But he didn't even blink. He simply looked at me with that dark, unreadable gaze... and then moved toward me, slow and steady, till I was pinned between his car door and him. No one could see us like this. He leaned in, caging me with his arms on either side of my head. His breath brushed against my skin as he whispered, "You don't wanna marry me... hmm?" I looked away, panic flaring again. He tilted his face, locking eyes with mine. "Bolo." I whispered, "No..." A cruel smirk curled on his lips. "Toh phir kis se karni hai shaadi?" he whispered. "N-no one..." He straightened up-now towering over me-and then, without warning, grabbed my waist and lifted me off the ground. My hands were caught between us, pressed to his chest. "A-Aahan-what... what are you-" I stuttered. "Shh," he murmured, lips brushing against my cheek. "You've said enough. Ab suno." "We're getting engaged in one week. Then the rest of the rituals. And after that," he paused, tightening his grip on my waist, "we'll get married." "Chahe tum khud mandap tak aao... ya main tumhe zabardasti le aaun. Samajh aaya, jaan?"
