A slow-burning story about two wounded souls learning to find each other through silence and words.
Meher believes in the power of words - to heal, to connect, to reveal what's hidden. When she arrives at a quiet literary retreat nestled in the hills, clutching her well-worn copy of When You Read My Words, she's not just seeking inspiration. She's searching for Aarav - the elusive writer whose voice has echoed in her heart long before they've met.
Aarav is everything Meher isn't: distant, guarded, carrying invisible scars from a painful past. To everyone else, he's a celebrated author, but beneath the surface, he battles loneliness and walls no one has yet breached - especially not Meher.
Their first meeting is tense and charged with unspoken emotion - cold words that sting, jealousy simmering beneath the surface, and a pull neither can resist. As the retreat unfolds, their stories slowly unravel - written in book margins, caught in stolen glances, and whispered in the quiet space between hate and love.
Can Meher's words break through Aarav's defenses? Or will the distance between them remain unread?
For readers who love emotional depth, slow-burn tension, and the ache of truly being seen.

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.
Where Our Hearts Return
Mira Sharma is not the kind of woman who lets people in easily. A brilliant data analyst with a guarded heart and a no-nonsense sense of humor, she's learned to keep her vulnerability tucked away behind sarcasm, spreadsheets, and late-night to-do lists. She's not looking for a distraction - especially not in the form of a tall, charming new hire who drinks espresso like it's an art form. But Aarav Mehta is more than just a pretty face with a good jawline and rolled-up sleeves. He's kind in the quietest ways, observant without overreaching, and patient enough to wait outside the walls Mira has built around her heart. What begins as casual coffee breaks between colleagues slowly evolves into shared silences, stolen glances, unspoken support - and eventually, something neither of them saw coming. 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. It's not about grand gestures. It's about staying - even when things get complicated. And learning that some people aren't just passing chapters... They're where the story begins.Complete

Wounded Heart ✔
She loved him with devotion so fierce it scorched every heartbeat, every glance. He was her obsession, her reason to breathe, and her undoing. But while her world revolved around him, he remained distant-a presence, never hers. "How do you let go of someone who is the air in your lungs and the ache in your heart?" "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Memories burned bright and untouchable-hers alone. She clung to each haunted fragment, every echo of forbidden love. Until fate, honouring a promise to Aashi, forced her into the arms of the man whose heart was a graveyard. "I married you to fulfil her last wish. You will never belong here." His words cut deep-cold, calculated, meant to wound. Cruelty hid his storm. Her silence was her weapon, her pain a fortress. "You think you know pain?" she spat, her eyes blazing. "I live it every day." He turned away, fists clenched. "You don't belong. This will never be your home." Yet, in their grief and fury, sparks flew, igniting something dangerous. "Love and hate are two sides of the same burning coin." When apologies come too late, and regret drowns truth, love risks turning to ash. She walks away, her heart in ruins. He falls, shattered-vowing to bleed, to burn, to reignite the fire in her eyes. "Some hearts are forged in fire. Some burn to ashes." Even if it destroys him. 📅 Start Date: 28th October 2019 ⏳ End Date: 23rd October 2020 ✏️ Edited Date: 2026Complete
