*Holdin' my breath, slowly I said,
"You don't need to save me"!,
But would you run away with me?"
"Yes!!"*
Not every connection begins with certainty..... Some begin with a question that changes everything.
Two lives, crossing paths in moments that feel too quiet to be coincidence, yet too fragile to call fate.
Between distance and closeness, silence and almosts, they find something neither of them were searching for-but both begin to hold onto...

Whisper's of destiny
🌌 Whisper's of Destiny 🌌 By @ashii_verse 🖤 "Some stories aren't meant to be told. They're meant to bleed through silence... and leave scars where no one sees." --- Avni. Soft. Subtle. Almost invisible to the world. But beneath her quiet grace lies a storm she's too afraid to name. She doesn't raise her voice. She doesn't ask for more. She simply exists - until he sees her. The man no one dares to look in the eye... yet she meets his gaze with trembling honesty. Rajveer. Sharp mind. Cold presence. A man who speaks less and controls more. He doesn't crave love. He craves silence, control, and order. But there's something about her - the way she lowers her eyes when he speaks, the way her fear doesn't hide her truth - that draws him in like a storm waiting to be unleashed. --- ❝ You look at me like I'm human, Avni... ❞ ❝ But I've spent my whole life making sure I'm not. ❞ ❝ And still... ❞ ❝ You make me want to be yours. ❞ --- This is not a love story. This is restraint and desire at war. A girl too soft for his world. A man too dangerous for hers. And a fate that ties them together - not gently, but violently. He doesn't know how to love. She doesn't know how to leave. And somewhere in the silence between them, something begins to burn... slowly, darkly, beautifully. ✨ Whisper's of Destiny - a haunting slow-burn of longing, power, and a love so quiet... it leaves nothing untouched. ---Complete![ᴡʜɪꜱᴘᴇʀꜱ ᴏꜰ ʜᴇᴀʟɪɴɢ [ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇᴅ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/392768245-256-k531820.jpg)

After a traumatic first marriage left her body bruised and her mind in pieces, Maithili has built a world of silence.

When her worried parents consult an astrologer, they are told a second marriage might be her only path out of the shadows. Neil Chaudhary isn't looking for love. He's not against marriage - just never in a hurry for it. When he agrees to marry Maithili, he expects nothing more than civility and space. What he finds instead is a girl who flinches when he speaks too loud. A wife who won't say his name. And a story written in silence that pulls him in, piece by piece. As Maithili learns to breathe again, Neil learns what it means to wait for someone - and love, the kind that heals without hurting, begins to take shape. But can love truly heal the scars of the past, or is it simply a quiet way to survive?

Veils of Deception
In a world where power is everything, love is the deadliest illusion. She was meant to be nothing more than a pawn-a daughter who smiled on command, a woman who played her role. But behind her delicate façade lies a storm waiting to break. He took everything from her. Now, she will take it all back, piece by piece, until his empire is nothing but ashes. He was never meant to belong. An outsider, a bastard, a man they all overlooked. But he watched. He learned. And when he found her, the girl from his past-the only light in his darkness-he vowed she would be his. A marriage that was never meant to be. A game where trust is a myth, and betrayal is inevitable. She thinks she's in control. She doesn't realize-she's always been his to ruin... or to protect. When the masks fall and the knives come out... Who will truly win?
