In a world where justice often wears the mask of injustice, two paths collide. One belongs to a criminal ruthless, vengeful, and determined to correct wrongs through darker means. The other, a psychology student brilliant, empathetic, and driven by a desperate need to understand the minds that destroy, hoping to heal rather than punish.
But this isn't a battle of good vs evil. This is fire vs fire.
One flame seeks to burn everything that stands in its way. The other burns to expose, to cleanse, to change. Both are dangerous. Both are unstoppable. And when they meet, the world around them won't be left untouched.
A tale of obsession, redemption, and the thin line between justice and revenge.

HIDDEN AFFECTION (Paused)
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.

"I don't love you gently, I love you the way storms love the sea- violently, endlessly and without mercy." His eyes darkened with every word just as mine and a shiver run down my spine at his words as he took a step closer to me. "Then don't even mistook my obsession as something soft or butterfly- I'll hunt down your every dream, so even your nightmares wear my face, Mr. Reaper." I whispered darkly in his ear, that end up making him smirking that I hate the most. "You're my favourite Nightmare, Ruby." With that he closes the almost non-existing distance between us. As his lips slided against mine- that feeling wasn't gentle or soft. It felt like a claim, a possession, a label that we belong only to each other. _______________________ If destruction were a person, it would wear ARYAVARDHAN SINGH RAGHUVANSHI's face.

Marked In Fire
She wanted freedom. He wanted forever. Neither was ready for the fire they would unleash together. They say love is meant to heal, to soothe, to bring peace. But what happens when love becomes the very reason you burn? vamika rai had spent her entire life living in borrowed choices-an obedient daughter, a silent listener, a girl who bent until she forgot the sound of her own defiance. Until one night, when her world snapped. And standing at the edge of her breaking point-she said yes to a man she should've run from. Reyansh Raghuvanshi. A name spoken in hushed tones. The kind of man whose silence feels heavier than screams. To the world, he is control-power wrapped in devotion, a believer of Mahadev whose every vow is carved from steel. But behind that calm lies a darkness no one dares to touch. A man carrying sins he never confessed, pain he never shared, and a love that doesn't bloom-it consumes. He doesn't fall in love. He claims. And when he wanted her, he didn't ask. He took. Their marriage was not a choice-it was a storm. A forced collision between her rebellion and his obsession, between her disbelief and his faith, between her fire and his shadows. She swore she would destroy every wall he built. He vowed she would never escape them. Yet beneath her trembling silence, there is another woman no one knows. A woman forged in secrets, veiled behind obedience. A woman whose fire runs deeper, darker, older. And when she awakens-every truth they buried will rise with her. This is not the story of a perfect love. It is the story of two broken souls tied by fate, bound by choices they never wanted to make. A tale of power, pain, and passion-where devotion becomes possession, and every scar tells a secret. Because sometimes, love doesn't come to save you. It comes to mark you. And once marked in fire-there's no turning back.
