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?

𝐒𝐢𝐲𝐚 ~ 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 by snow_wrts

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.

Junoon: His Eternal Love by MariellaVerse

EARLIER KNOWN AS "THAKUR'S OBSESSION" UPDATE:- EVERY SUNDAY AND THURSDAY "If you breathe near her, you're dead." Aanya never chose her marriage. She was claimed by Arjun Pratap Thakur, a man feared for his power, his silence, and the control he never loosens. Arjun doesn't love gently. He protects with possession. Commands without raising his voice. And makes one thing terrifyingly clear, she is his. But the real danger isn't her husband. It's the man who has loved her since childhood... whose devotion has rotted into obsession, who has waited in the shadows for years, believing Aanya was always meant to be his. As fragments of a forgotten past begin to surface, a sister who vanished, skills she was never taught, instincts she can't explain, Aanya realizes something chilling: Her memories weren't lost. They were taken. Now she stands between a powerful man who owns her... and a madman who would burn the world to claim her. A dark romance of forced marriage, obsession, buried truths, and a woman caught between dominance, desire, and danger. Read if you can handle men who ruin you and still make you beg for more.

HIDDEN AFFECTION by author_aryaa

A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. 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. Hidden Affection - By @author_aryaa Creative Collaborator - @ehaawrites We can't wait to share this journey with you.

She's calm, graceful, and ready to endure what life throws at her. Aarvik, on the other hand, makes his feelings clear from the start - this marriage is a mistake. His heart already belongs to someone else: Saanvi, the glamorous woman who wants everything... except his love. But behind the smiles and ceremonies, not everything is what it seems. Because Saanvi doesn't love Aarvik - she only loves his money. And Amaira? She's no fragile bride. She's a quiet storm. And as Aarvik's perfectly controlled world begins to unravel, he'll discover that falling for the wrong woman was never his mistake. Underneath every cold stare and cruel word, something unexpected begins to bloom. But will love be enough when trust was never part of the deal?

MARRIED TO A STRANGER by cute27burg

She stood at the mandap Heart pounding beneath layers of silk and gold. Her family's honor rested on her shoulders, and before her stood a stranger. Her soon-to-be husband. His gaze was cold, distant, but his hand was steady as he tied the mangalsutra around her neck. He hadn't wanted this marriage, but he needed it. His past was a cage of secrets, and she was his shield. He thought she would stay quiet, invisible. But she didn't. 💔 ✨ Slowly, against his will, her light melted the darkness in him. Perhaps this marriage of duty was never just about honor. Perhaps it was destiny in disguise. ❤️
