She grew up unloved, unwanted, and distrusted by the very people who were meant to protect her.
So she stopped expecting love  altogether.

But then came him-
Adhikrit Shekhawat. The name that made empires kneel. The man who ruled with blood on his hands and fire in his veins.

He could destroy her.
Instead, he chose to claim her.

A forced marriage bound them together-her hatred against his patience, her silence against his obsession. She wanted to run, but his world left no escape. And in his ruthless calm, she discovered the most dangerous truth:
the monster everyone feared had a heart, and it beat only for her.

Wounded Heart ✔ by Ruhi_93

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: 2026

Rakh le mujhe Junoon-e-Ishq by Anywrite77

She was a breath of fresh air in a world full of smoke and ash. A happy soul untouched by cruelty, laughter spilling from her lips like sunlight in a dark room. Meher Qureshi lived in a bubble of innocence, far away from the poisons of power and pain. Her dreams were simple - dance under the open sky, chase colors, and believe in the good that still existed. But fate is a cruel puppeteer. He was the storm waiting to tear that bubble apart. Aaryan Malhotra, a man forged in darkness, wrapped in scars and secrets. A king of his ruthless empire, feared and respected - cold, possessive, and merciless. The kind of man who crushed everything that stood in his way... except the girl who was everything he should never want. When their worlds collide, it's more than just a meeting. It's a violent explosion of fire and ice. She's too young, too pure, too unbroken. He's a man drowning in his past, drowning in obsession. He wants to possess her-every whispered word, every stolen glance, every inch of her fragile heart. She wants to run. To breathe. To hold on to the light inside her before it's snuffed out. But love, in their world, isn't soft. It's raw. It's brutal. It's the slow, agonizing dance between salvation and destruction. The battle where no one wins without losing a piece of themselves. She's the light he fights to protect but also the poison he can't resist. He's the darkness she fears but the only man who ever truly sees her. Together, they're a war no one will walk away from unchanged. Because some loves aren't meant to be gentle. They're meant to break you- And remake you from the ashes

Remember that means your freedom no longer belongs to you. It belongs to me." Armaan Shekhawat demands control. She still believes in love. "But you should still be scared of me, Mrs. Shekhawat." ___________ He smiled faintly... not the cocky smirk she was used to, but something real, almost boyish. "What have you done to me, Rooh? I used to hate mornings, and now I can't imagine waking up without you next to me." She blinked fast, her throat tightening. He leaned closer, his hand sliding to the back of her neck, his thumb brushing the edge of her jaw. "I want to be with you. Always. I don't care where, how, or when. I just..." He exhaled softly.

Royal Lies by Mina_writez

⚠️ This is a dark romance with a walking red flag (aka a toxic playboy) and a forced marriage. If this is your first playboy story, please have realistic expectations = this ain't a Disney prince. Players don't change overnight. They don't fall at first sight. But when they fall... they fall hard. Want soft boys and sunshine love? Cute. But this isn't the book for you. "I will never be yours," he told her on their wedding night. "Good," she replied. "Because I stopped wanting you yesterday." Advika was the sacrifice to save her family's pride. Married to Ranjeet, a man who flaunts his mistresses and laughs at love, she realizes her only weapon is silence. She stops crying. She stops waiting for him. She stops caring. And that is when the Lion of Harshvardhana finally loses his mind. Because the one thing a man like Ranjeet can't handle... is being ignored by the only woman who actually matters.

kahani ek Ishq ki by meghxwrites

In the heart of Jaipur, where chaos kissed royalty and secrets slept beneath marbled domes, he ruled without apology. Abhimaan Deep Shekhawat - the uncrowned king of Rajasthan. Cold. Calculated. Lethal behind a polished mask. To the world, a royal heir guarding tradition. In truth, the phantom pulling political strings, the storm whose silence promised ruin. But even storms... can be caught off guard. One evening, trapped in traffic near Central Park, a sound cut through his thoughts-a tune, soft and soulful. Instinct pulled him into the park, following it like prey to a predator. She sat on the grass in a white floral saree, hair loosely braided, fingers coaxing life from a guitar. Eyes closed. Unaware. Unbothered. She wasn't trying to be seen-yet he couldn't look away. Then she was gone. Days later, a decades-old ledger surfaced-evidence that could destroy his empire. At its center: Meher Sen, daughter of Arindam Sen, an ex-investigator about to expose ministers, businessmen-and him. Power demanded he erase the threat. Obsession made him claim it. A marriage was arranged. On paper, protection. In reality, possession. Binding her meant silencing her father forever. It should have ended there. But the moment she stepped into his home, something darker than blackmail took root. Even kings fall-especially for the ones they try to cage.

His father, a powerful union cabinet minister, has only one goal- placing Shivaay on the Chief Minister's throne. But power demands sacrifice, and alliances are sealed in blood... and marriage. Anamika Singhania grew up loving one man... Rudra, Shivaay's younger brother, the one who made her laugh, the one she dreamed of. But Rudra never saw her the way she burned for him. Now, fate has bound her to Shivaay, the man she fears... and the one who ignites something darker inside her. "I don't need your love, Anamika," Shivaay's voice is dark, sinful. "I need your obedience." "And if I refuse?" she whispers, anger laced with fear. "There are no refusals in politics. Only power." Rudra never wanted her... until she was no longer his to lose. "Anamika, you don't seem to understand my-" Rudra murmurs, as he reaches out, his hand hovering for a moment like he might touch her shoulder, might anchor her to something "I may not understand everything, Rudra... but I do understand one damn thing... People who once called someone their own don't get to exploit them like they never meant a thing. Like they were just a stepping stone." She cut him off before he could complete his sentence. Trapped between the man she always loved and the one who now owns her fate, Anamika must decide: fight for love, surrender to power, or risk being destroyed by both. Three hearts. Two brothers.
