📖
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.

Hate me, Hold me
Roop Menon never expected her new job at Malhotra Multicare Hospital to come with a side dish of chaos-and definitely not in the form of two impossibly magnetic twin brothers. One is all soft smiles and quiet stares. The other? Leather jackets, bruised knuckles, and a glare that could set off fire alarms. Vihaan Malhotra is the charming younger twin-glasses perched on his nose, always ready with a gentle joke or cup of coffee when her day turns hellish. Aaryan Malhotra is the older one-the infuriating CEO who never wears a suit, never says more than necessary, and somehow knows exactly how to push all her buttons. And Roop? She's smack in the middle. Fighting them. Fighting herself. Fighting the war between rage and... something dangerously close to desire. But the more she learns about the brothers, the more tangled things get. Secrets start surfacing. Loyalties get tested. And the walls Roop built around her heart? They're starting to crack. ~~ "He brings me calm," she whispered. "And you? You bring me storms I don't know how to survive."

What she doesn't expect is how closely jealousy, suspicion, and emotional tension would follow. Shivaay, calm and composed on the surface, begins to notice the natural bond between his new wife and his cousin-a bond too easy, too deep, and too unexplainable. At the same time, Eklavya is pushed into marrying Diyanshi, Tanya's best friend-a quiet girl who tries to stay strong but can't ignore what she sees: her husband and her best friend are just too close. Now, four people are caught in a tangled web of unspoken emotions, misunderstood intentions, and forced promises. As feelings get complicated, jealousy brews, and trust begins to crack, all four are left questioning what's real, what's right, and what their hearts have been hiding all along. Will these marriages break before they begin, or will something unexpected bloom from the chaos? ---Complete

Empire of Glass
Fierce, independent, and sharp-witted, Saanvi Mehra was never the girl waiting to be rescued, until life shoved her off the ledge. Raised by a decorated army officer and a soft-spoken mother, she was once full of laughter, trust in the system, and dreams laid out with quiet hope. People like her believed life would unfold gently, with purpose and stability. But fate doesn't wait for dreams. When tragedy strikes, Saanvi learns the meaning of hard work the brutal way. Kindness doesn't pay hospital bills. Dreams won't feed your family. Thrust into survival mode, she juggles grief, debt, and the weight of an entire household-working double shifts, hiding secrets, clawing her way through a world where the power sits with the rich. Years later, when things get rougher and options run thin, she crosses paths with someone she never expected-a man shaped by power, distanced by privilege, and tied to a life she could never afford to imagine. He sits at the top of an empire. And she's just trying to make it through the month. Ishaan Oberoi was born to power and raised to lead. From the moment he could walk, he was groomed to carry a legacy heavier than most could imagine. Harvard-educated, polished, and razor-sharp, he moves through billion-rupee deals and boardrooms with calculated precision, untouchable, unshaken, and unyielding. Failure was never an option, but life has a strange way of throwing curveballs. Ishaan is the perfect heir to the Oberoi empire, until he isn't. In the rush and haze of relentless ambition, mishaps slip through the cracks, and for the first time, his abilities are questioned. Respected and feared, he's the embodiment of success on paper, yet beneath the surface lies a man grappling with cracks in his perfect facade. Expectations grow heavier, and when even the strongest lash out, the universe lashes back. Only this time, it's someone just as strong, someone who might be the equal he never knew he needed.
