He was my nightmare in a tailored suit.
Manvi Singh, a sweet, small business owner, never imagined her life would entangle with Abhishek Singh-the cold, calculated mafia king who didn't believe in love, only control.
But fate tied them in a knot of marriage neither of them wanted... until everything started to burn.
Beneath his icy heart was a past soaked in betrayal. His ex, the only woman he ever loved, disappeared-but not without a trace. When the truth unravels, it threatens not just his world, but Manvi's too.
In the city of shadows, love is a risk. And secrets are weapons.
Will love bloom in the ashes-or will the fire consume them both?

𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 #𝟏 A forced marriage story. POWER, MONEY... These are the only two things he knows in his life. He is the king of Jaisalmer-rude, cold, and ruthless. He is also the leader of the Indian mafia. However, around the world, he is highly respected for the bans he puts on narcotics, human trafficking, child trafficking, and many other criminal acts. He is the Suryavanshi political dynasty leader, the king not only of his principality but also the one who influences the politics of many other areas. His connections are vast. Maybe you imagine he is gentle with those he loves? That would be your biggest mistake. He cares for them but never shows it. Always rude, always distant. But if they ever need him, he wouldn't hesitate to kill for them. He is a man of his word. However, a storm of deep brown eyes filled with innocence-chubby cheeks, and a 5'2" petite figure swept into his life without warning. She wants to fly. He cages her in his arms. She is a broken soul. He fixes her. She is an angel? He is a devil. But the real question is: Is she truly innocent? Or is it just a mask? Join Akshay Singh Suryavanshi and Siya Kumar in their royal love story.

A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen.
