Isabelle Salazar is a meticulous assistant accounting manager by day and a driven evening law student by night. Her world is governed by numbers, case digests, and a five-year plan that leaves no room for distractions-especially not ones that wear sharp suits and quote jurisprudence like poetry.
Ray Lozada, the sharp-witted and quietly intense in-house legal counsel, has built a reputation for being unshakable, unreadable, and undeniably brilliant. When a tax audit meeting unexpectedly brings him into Isabelle's orbit, what begins as an incidental work encounter sets off a slow unraveling of boundaries, assumptions, and something dangerously close to affection.
Their story unfolds in quiet glances across the boardroom, midnight text exchanges, and study sessions filled with flirtatious restraint. As workplace projects force them into closer collaboration, tension simmers between spreadsheets and legal memos-matched only by the chaos of Isabelle's law school grind and Ray's growing inability to stay emotionally distant.
But as personal ambitions, unspoken fears, and career lines blur, Isabelle and Ray are faced with a question neither had time for:
Can two people who've meticulously planned their lives make room for something they never saw coming?
"When Our Paths Aligned" is a modern, witty, and slow-burning romance that explores ambition, vulnerability, and the quiet spaces where two people begin to fall-unexpectedly, irrevocably, and in between the lines.

HER LOVER'S ALIBI
Aria Sen moves to Bangalore, hoping for a quiet, steady life-just her rented apartment, the metro ride, and her new job at Aurum Biolabs. But nothing about her new beginning stays quiet for long, especially not when she meets Raghav Mehta, the senior researcher whose calm voice and steady presence unsettle her more than the complex experiments ever could. Raghav isn't the loud, charming type. He's gentle, observant, and dangerously attentive in ways Aria isn't used to. The more they work together-late evenings bent over microscopes, shared coffees, small careless touches-the harder it becomes for her to ignore the pull between them. He makes her feel seen in a world where she has always been invisible. But the comfort she feels around him is cut by an undercurrent of something darker. There are things Aria can't explain: odd files updated at midnight, restricted lab doors left unlocked, whispers about internal audits, and the strange tension that flashes in Raghav's eyes whenever he thinks no one is watching. Aurum Biolabs may look clinical and bright, but shadows live in its corners-shadows that seem to circle him. As Aria's feelings deepen, so do the secrets surrounding Raghav. And the closer she gets, the more she realizes that the truth is nothing like the man she thinks she's falling for. Because in a place built on evidence and precision, one thing is certain- every secret leaves a trace... and Aria is about to uncover one that will change everything.

Signed , Yours Accidentally
Ayra Kapoor never meant to work under Vihaan Malhotra. In fact, she'd promised herself she wouldn't. He was the kind of man who turned deadlines into commandments, silence into strategy, and every conversation into a contest. She was the woman who talked back, questioned rules, and carried caffeine like a weapon. They were never supposed to share a room-let alone a project. But one email changed everything. One signature sent her name to his inbox. And suddenly, she was trapped in a thirty-day collaboration with the one man who made irritation feel suspiciously like adrenaline. The plan was simple: survive a month, finish the project, and leave with her dignity intact. The problem? Vihaan wasn't just her boss for the month. He was the man who saw through her defenses, pushed her limits, and made her question why "hate" suddenly felt too small a word for what burned between them. Some stories don't start with love at first sight. Some start with an email, a rivalry, and an accidental signature. Signed, Yours Accidentally - A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers office romance about ambition, trust, and the chaos of falling for the one person you swore you couldn't stand. Hey everyone! So yeah... I know my first story isn't finished yet 😅 but this new idea wouldn't stop bothering me, so here we are. I'll be working on both stories side by side - no promises on speed, but I'll give it my best. Thanks for being patient and reading my work, it seriously means a lot 🫶 NOTE: IMAGE CREDIT PINTEREST

From late-night texts to rooftop confessions, from drifting apart to finding their way back, Where Our Hearts Return is a heartfelt journey through love, distance, friendship, and everything in between.

The Little Matchmaker
Lauren never meant to draw attention in her new job. As a single mother, all she wanted was stability - a steady paycheck, quiet mornings, and a safe world for her little girl, Evie. Her new boss, Alexander Reid, is a 37-year-old CEO known for his precision and cold professionalism. His office is a place of glass walls, muted colors, and strict order. To him, emotion is a distraction - until a small crayon drawing appears on his desk one Monday morning. A messy little picture of "Mommy at Work," complete with sparkles and a smiling stick figure version of himself. At first, he's mildly annoyed - but when Lauren rushes in, embarrassed and apologizing for her daughter's "accident," something softens. He sees in her eyes the exhaustion, the grace, and the quiet strength of someone doing everything alone. Over time, the little drawings keep coming. Sometimes they're tucked into his planner. Sometimes Evie shyly waves at him when Lauren picks her up after work. Against all his instincts, Alexander finds himself smiling more, staying late not for business - but for the company. As Lauren's confidence grows and Alexander's walls start to crumble, the office becomes something warmer, livelier... more like home. But when whispers start spreading in the company and Lauren fears losing her job, the two must decide: protect their growing feelings, or risk it all for a chance at something real - a family neither of them expected.
