📖 
In the heart of Delhi's corporate buzz, Mishika Verma knows exactly who she is - sharp, strategic, and determined not to be underestimated. Armed with degrees, dry wit, and more professionalism than patience, she's not just the new executive assistant to Akash Mehta - she's the calm force behind the company's storm.

Akash Mehta, young CEO with a legacy on his shoulders, isn't used to assistants who match him in precision and challenge him in silence. But Mishika isn't here to impress. She's here to work - and work well.

What begins as a strictly professional partnership soon unfolds into something deeper: an evolving friendship with bite, banter, and buried warmth neither of them expected. But when past scars, present pressures, and complicated families start to unravel the lines they've drawn, they'll have to decide what's worth protecting - and what's worth risking.

Smart, slow-burning, and quietly fierce - this is a story about trust earned, boundaries tested, and two people learning that strength sometimes means letting someone in.All Rights Reserved

Gauri Sharma, a 23-year-old orphan and single mother, lives a quiet, grounded life in Delhi with her 4-year-old daughter, Manya - her entire world wrapped in tiny hands and innocent smiles. Gauri doesn't know who Manya's father is, and she's long stopped trying to chase the past. All she wants is a peaceful life for her daughter and herself. But peace is shattered the day she steps into the dazzling chaos of her best friend Vaani's high-profile wedding. There, she crosses paths with Reyansh Malhotra - a 30-year-old billionaire CEO, a man cloaked in power, pride, and shadows. Reyansh doesn't believe in love. He doesn't care for innocence. But the moment he sees Gauri, and then hears the soft giggles of little Manya, something in him begins to shift. Drawn to both mother and daughter with an intensity he can't explain, Reyansh finds himself pulled into a dangerous game of obsession, desire, and buried truths. Manya's sweet affection touches a part of him he thought long dead... and Gauri's warmth begins to melt walls built over years. But love never comes easy - especially when secrets, scars, and silent enemies threaten to destroy everything. He was meant to rule empires. But a woman and her daughter might just conquer his soul.

His Arranged Bride by bhoomi_wrts_13

Aarav Malhotra - the reserved and soft-spoken CEO of Malhotra Hotels - has always put family above everything else. Quiet boardrooms and grand hotel projects are easier for him to handle than matters of the heart. Sakshi Sharma - a gentle, kind-hearted primary school teacher - finds joy in the laughter of children and dreams of a simple life filled with love and understanding. When their families arrange their marriage, both are hesitant, bound more by duty than desire. But as shy glances turn into warm conversations and small gestures grow into affection, they begin to discover that maybe, just maybe, fate knows their hearts better than they do. A tale of slow-burn love, emotional connection, and two introverted souls learning to open up - one gentle step at a time. Update on Friday and saturday tropes : * arranged marriage trope * both fell harder * strangers to lovers * age gap (4 years) * supportive in-laws

DIL KE DARMIYAAN by kriti_wrts

🌸 She heals lives. He builds empires. But can love truly blossom between two worlds so different? 𝗗𝗿.𝗔𝗿𝘆𝗮 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮 has always lived for her duty-long hospital shifts, sleepless nights, and the quiet satisfaction of saving lives. Love, luxury, and fairy tales have no place in her world. Until one rainy night, when a chance emergency brings her face-to-face with 𝗔𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘃 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮-a man as distant and untouchable as the skyscrapers he owns. Aarav, the powerful CEO of Mehra Enterprises, is known for his ruthless decisions and ironclad control. But in Arya's calm presence, he feels something he hasn't in years-peace. Her sincerity disarms him, her strength draws him closer, and soon, coffee meetings turn into late-night conversations that neither of them expected. Yet, love is never simple. Between family expectations, social divides, and their own fears, both Arya and Aarav must decide- Will they choose the safety of distance? Or will they risk everything to step between the hearts? A slow-burn, soft romance filled with tender moments, unspoken glances, and a love that dares to cross boundaries. --- ✨
