Vasundhara Maheshwari never expected London to feel so loud. A small-town theatre artist from Jaipur, she steps into the dazzling chaos of the Royal National Theatre with nothing but her talent, her journals, and the weight of her family's expectations. This was supposed to be her chance-her stage, her escape, her beginning.
Then he walked in.
Tom Hiddleston-celebrated actor, guest mentor, a man whose world was carved from spotlights and shadows. Their paths should have never crossed. Yet something in his voice, his silences, his gaze lingers too long on hers. What begins as artistic mentorship blurs into something riskier, softer, impossible to name.
But the stage is unforgiving. Between unspoken rules, cultural boundaries, and the haunting truth that not every story is meant to be performed, Vasundhara learns that some loves are rehearsed only to be left unfinished.
Mysterious, lyrical, and unforgettable, this is not just a love story-it's the story of almost.

Durga - A Spirit Unbroken
At eighteen, she was betrayed by the very people who should have protected her sold into a house where women are stripped of their will and forced to serve under the cruel mask of survival. What followed was years of torment, beatings, humiliation, and the slow erasure of her voice. She did not live; she endured. But endurance can only last so long. Behind every forced smile, every silenced scream, she nurtures a single truth: she will not die within those walls. Her escape is not a dream it is a promise she makes to herself every night. Yet freedom is never simple. When her path collides with a man whose past is as fractured as her own, a new struggle begins. He is pulled toward her shadow without understanding why, but she scarred by betrayal and bound by fear cannot bring herself to believe in the tenderness she has longed for all her life. Caught between her past that still claws at her, a present that cages her, and an uncertain future that tempts her. She faces questions that cut deeper than chains: Will she find a way to break free? Will she allow herself to trust what her heart has always craved? Or will the house of shadows tighten its grip, binding her forever? Some stories aren't about survival alone. They're about what a soul dares to dream, even in the darkest prison. This is my first story. I request every reader to just spend their little time to open my book and read Please support me guys.........
Trust In Love
"You're fired, Jennie. Collect your things and go. Now. Just be thankful he's not pressing charges. I can't believe you did this. After all this time? Stealing from our customers is just so low.

So begins a spiral that Jennie could never have imagined. Clearing her name will take more than just detective work. It will take love and trust.Complete
Secret Love
Felicity Wilks laughed perhaps a little too loudly at the cheesy joke. One of a hundred she'd been entertained with on the way home, this one had particularly tickled her. Tom looked up, the sound of laughter echoing in the quiet carriage. The girl - no - the WOMAN at the opposite table glanced over. "Sorry!" she mouthed silently as someone , some lucky one, spoke into her ear. Her eyes sparkled and her smiled beamed. She was, quite simply beautiful.... Love is hard enough for "ordinary" people. For people like Tom and Flick, it becomes doubly difficult. Especially when one of you is harbouring a secret.....Complete

A LOVELESS ALLIANCE
𝐕𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐡𝐢 𝐱 𝐀𝐫𝐣𝐮𝐧 || Then suddenly, she jerked away, pushing my hand off as if my touch burned. ""Don't do this, Arjun." she said. I blinked, my throat tightening. "Please," she said again, her voice breaking, "please leave me alone. I can't do this anymore. I can't." My heart pounded. "Vaidehi, listen to me..." "No!"she snapped, her tears spilling freely now. I took a deep breath, pain clawing at my chest. "Vaidehi," I said quietly, "I'm never leaving you. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. Forgive me. Just believe me once. Give me a chance to prove myself." She looked at me, really looked at me. As if trying to find the truth in my eyes. Then she laughed. A broken, bitter laugh that didn't reach her eyes. It was a sound that made my heart ache because it wasn't her laugh. Not the one that used to light up my world. "Arjun," she said, tears streaming again, "maafi galti ki hoti hai. And what you did... wasn't a mistake."...... ( It's not the end here ).... To know more dive into the book .
Prof. Khan's Biwi | 18+
Meerab Mahnoor, 22, a breathtaking beauty with fire in her soul and poetry on her lips, graduated in English Honours from Hyderabad Central University. Her dream? To earn her M.A in Literature from London and return as someone her parents could proudly speak of. But London wasn't just a place of books and dreams-it was a storm waiting to swallow her whole. Because the danger didn't wear a mask. It wore a suit. And stood at the front of her classroom. Khan Murtasim Khan, 28, sinfully hot, cold-eyed, and maddeningly unreadable, was in his fourth year of PhD studies-and her professor. He didn't smile. He didn't bend. But when his gaze found Meerab, everything began to unravel. He noticed her. He watched her. And then... he wanted her. The glances turned into tension. The tension turned into obsession. And Meerab? She stepped into a game of shadows with a man who could ruin her... or awaken everything she never knew she craved. Because some lessons aren't taught in books-some are learned between stolen glances, whispered threats, and forbidden touches. He's supposed to guide her, not crave her. She's supposed to respect him, not need him. But some stories don't follow the syllabus. And some desires? They're just waiting to be unleashed. Dark secrets. Stolen glances. A past that won't stay buried. And a chemistry that refuses to be denied. This is not your typical campus romance. It's twisted. It's intense. It's everything you weren't ready for. Tropes you'll love: Professor × Student Age Gap (6 years) Possessive Male Lead Sweet Bubly Female Lead Dark Academia Vibes Enemies to Obsession Power Play Mystery + Slow Burn + Smut Hidden Past / Forbidden Romance He Falls First.
