dream family lifestory romance sliceoflife slowburn

Lexus Antonio was born with nothing but dreams. Every step he took was fueled by sacrifice, by the weight of responsibility, and by a future he refused to give up on. Pam Vergara, on the other hand, was born with everything-wealth, privilege, and a life free from worry. To her, the present was meant to be enjoyed, while Lexus lived for the tomorrow he was building.

When fate brings them together, their differences spark both tension and attraction. What begins as chance encounters slowly grows into a tender bond, a romance built on glances, late-night conversations, and the quiet comfort of being seen.

But love alone cannot erase the gap between two worlds. He chooses his dreams; she chooses her freedom. And when life forces them down separate roads, they must face the truth: sometimes, love is real, but not enough.

She was born with everything.
He was born with nothing but dreams.
She chose today.
He chose tomorrow.
In the end, they found happiness-but in worlds apart.All Rights Reserved

From Broken To Together by ScarletPages

"An arranged marriage is nothing but fate, dressed carefully as destiny." Vedika Anand - a girl born of sunshine, stitched together with laughter, dreams, and an endless stream of words. A chatterbox, a whirlwind of joy, a living festival wherever she walks. She has always believed love to be sacred - "A single soul inhibiting two bodies." But in her heart, love has only existed in the pages of books and in the faces of fictional men she never wanted to leave behind. In reality, she has only tasted the sweet ache of a fleeting crush - a spark so faint that she buried it like a forgotten page in an old storybook. What happens when destiny chooses to bring that forgotten crush back to her? Not as a dream. Not as a choice. But as her husband. Veeransh Singhania - the shadow to her light. Cold, merciless, untouchable. The country's most powerful billionaire bachelor, feared as much as he is respected. The world calls him ruthless. To his family, he is distant. To himself, he is dead. His past is a graveyard of mistakes, and his present is a fortress no one dares to breach. "If love is an eternal act of forgiveness," Then Veeransh refuses to be a fool. Forgiveness is weakness, and weakness has no place in his world. Will Vedika's sunshine be enough to thaw Veeransh's frozen heart? Or will her laughter die in the silence of his indifference? This is not just an arranged marriage. It is a war between life and death. Between faith and fear. Between a girl who believes in love like prayer, and a man who stopped believing in anything at all.

Red Aint The Colour Of Love. by darkmentcherry

Everything happened so fast after that night, from taking shelter under a stranger to being engaged to another stranger. She soon became a girl who had her future planned to a girl who had nothing in her hand. She saw herself falling deeper and deeper into the void without anyone to help her rise again. Will she find peace in midest of the strangers? Will she find her way home? She won't drown this time, right?

SHADOWS AND BUTTERFLIES by goodiesinthecloset

My name is Alexa Fernandez. I used to believe in love-the kind that feels safe, predictable, warm. That's what I had with Steven Cruz. He was perfect. Too perfect. But perfection has a way of hiding its cracks. Behind Steven's gentle smile was a darkness I never saw coming- a truth that would turn my world inside out. Then came Samantha. His cousin. His opposite. She was everything Steven wasn't-wild, unpredictable, and painfully real. With her, I felt things I shouldn't have felt. Things I tried to bury... until they consumed me. Now I'm trapped between two versions of love: One that promises safety, and one that feels like danger-but also, freedom. Because love has consequences. And sometimes, the butterflies that lead you into the light... are the same ones that guide you into the shadows. But in those shadows, I found something else- a truth that was never meant to stay hidden, and a love that refused to die quietly.

Fear gripped her heart - what if her future husband turned out just like her father? What if her life became another cage of pain and sadness?

Fallin' For My Bodyguard by TheRealAriJ15

✨ She built a brand. He built a wall. Now they're both learning how to love past the pain. ✨ Allure King is more than a face-she's a force. A world-renowned model and influencer with a multi-million dollar empire built on beauty, resilience, and control. But behind the flawless photos and fierce reputation lies a woman quietly unraveling. After years of loyalty, love, and sacrifice, she finds herself publicly betrayed by the man she gave everything to-NBA star Malik James. Enter Romelo Creed. Fresh out of prison and trying to outrun the shadows of his past, Romelo takes a job protecting Allure... only to find himself drawn to the fire in her spirit, and the sadness in her silence. He's rough around the edges, deadly when necessary, but soft when it matters most. As her bodyguard, he was supposed to protect her from the world. He never expected she'd be the one to save him. What starts as tension turns into trust. What feels like lust begins to blur into something deeper. But Malik isn't finished-his stunts grow bolder, and the past refuses to stay buried. As the media stirs the drama and secrets begin to surface, Allure and Romelo are forced to confront the one thing they've both been avoiding: How do you protect a heart that's never felt safe? Love was never in the plan. But fate doesn't care about plans.

It's a story of stolen glances, unspoken tension, and the slow unraveling of two people who were never meant to fall... but do anyway. 💍 An age-gap, slow-burn arranged marriage romance. 🥀 Where silence is not the absence of love... but the beginning of it. #romance #romanticfiction #lovestory #indianromance #fiction #love #romancewriter #arrangedmarriage #slowburn #agegapromance #dominantmalelead #shyfemalelead #silentlove #tension #emotionalromance #softgirl #slowburnromance #wattpad #wattpadindia #wattpadwriter #indianwriter #writersofwattpad #wattpadstory #wattpadromance #newonwattpad #readonwattpad

A Mock Between Us! by Inkfinitystudio

Aarav and Meera never planned for forever. At 29, they were just two people casually navigating modern love-swiping right, dodging commitment, and avoiding the dreaded "so where is this going?" conversation. But fate had other plans. What started as something light and effortless became something deeper, something scarier. Soon, late-night texts turned into silent arguments, inside jokes turned into unspoken fears, and the question they had spent years avoiding became impossible to ignore. Love isn't just about falling. It's about staying. Through emotional distance. Through the mess of everyday life. Through the quiet doubts that creep in when the honeymoon fades. Aarav and Meera have a choice-fight for what they have or let it slip into the "almost" pile of their past. But love, like life, is never that simple.
