She was building a life. He was fighting the system. She didn't believe in distractions. He couldn't look away. When a fierce, duty-bound woman meets a man with rebellion in his veins, love doesn't arrive gently-it breaks in, uninvited. He fell first. She fell harder. A story of slow-burn love, family, protests, and the kind of bond that refuses to break. Language: Tanglish ────────────── Disclaimer: This story is a work of fiction.

She was India's most brilliant economist - calm, poised, and untouchable. He was the nation's most ruthless External Affairs Minister - a man who commanded rooms without a word. Five years ago, Aratrika Roy vanished from his world without a reason. Abhimanyu Yadav didn't chase her. He simply watched her leave - giving her the illusion of freedom. Now, he's done waiting. And this time, she's not walking away. When she's drawn back into his orbit - through power, politics, and an engagement she never agreed to - the air between them burns with everything left unsaid. Every glance is a memory. Every touch is a warning. He wants her back - not as a choice, but as his claim. "You wanted freedom, Aratrika. But you forgot one thing- I was the only place you were ever truly free." As old sparks reignite into obsession, love becomes a weapon neither of them can control. Because between power and possession, someone always surrenders - and this time, it won't be him. ---------------------------------------------------- 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫. 𝐋𝐮𝐬𝐭. 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐥.

Zanjeer-e-Ishq- His Obsession by wakeupluuke

"Mohabbat ya Junoon?" She tried to sit up, but her body betrayed her; weak, trembling. He was already there, hands gentle, touch reverent. "Where am I?" she croaked. "My sanctuary," he said. "Our sanctuary. The place where you'll learn that leaving me is not an option." Her eyes widened. "You kidnapped me." He smiled. "I rescued you. From your own mistake." She pushed his hands away, fury rising. "You're insane." He didn't flinch. "If loving you like this is madness, then I'll wear it like a crown." She stood, staggering toward the door, but it was locked. Of course it was. ******************************* Some characters have a Redemption arc, mine one has corruption arc. He goes from good boy to bad goon for her. ******** In a world where love speaks in poetic whispers and obsession hides behind tender caresses, their story unfolds, raw, rebellious, and achingly intimate. From playful banter beneath a tree to a chilling confession in the quiet of a room, he loves her with a madness that defies boundaries. She resists, he persists. Is it romance, or a haunting echo of possession? A tale where every touch is a promise, every word a trap, and every silence... a storm waiting to break. _______________________ The updates will be slow so save it in your library!!

The Caretaker He Bought by puffy_1304

"You're not here to fall in love." "Trust me, sir... I don't even know what that means." She was sold like a possession-traded away by the very people who were supposed to protect her. At just seventeen, she finds herself in a cold, unfamiliar mansion owned by a powerful man known for his silence, strict rules, and a heartbreak he never talks about. His only condition? Take care of his one-year-old daughter. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't enter his study. Never touch him. For her, following orders is nothing new. Obedience has kept her alive this long. But the baby's soft cries break something inside her, and her tender touch begins to warm a house that forgot what love felt like. He tells himself she's just a caretaker. Just a temporary solution. But night after night, she shatters rule after rule... And soon, his heart becomes the final one to break. 🎯 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 Genre: Romance / Drama / Slow Burn / Hurt-Comfort Age rating: 16+ (emotional abuse themes, mature emotional content)

HIDDEN AFFECTION by author_aryaa

A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 21 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Age Gap (21 × 28) • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen. Hidden Affection - By @author_aryaa Creative Collaborator - @ehaawrites We can't wait to share this journey with you.

Now bound to her father's greatest enemy, Indu is forced into a marriage she never wanted... to a man whose name she grew up fearing. But Prithvi doesn't touch without consent. He doesn't raise his voice.He destroys in silence. "I won't touch you unless you ask me to... But if you ever betray me- I'll make you wish you never walked into my world."
