Two strangers 
One unwanted marriage.

Now, fate binds them together in an arranged marriage neither asked for.

He wants nothing from this relationship-no love, no emotions, only silence.
She still dares to hope, to believe that maybe... love can return.

Between cold stares, painful pasts, and unspoken feelings, their story unfolds.
A journey from betrayal to trust, from distance to desire, from strangers to soulmates.

Because sometimes, the love we stop searching for... finds us again.All Rights Reserved

His Debt, My Chains by SeluneRael

When Iris's father disappeared overnight, he didn't just leave behind his debts-he left her as collateral. Riven Vallar, the cold and brutal heir to the Vallar Mafia Empire, expected revenge, money, blood. Instead, he found a trembling girl with ice-blue eyes and nowhere to go. She became his prisoner. Then, his pawn. Now, she's being forced into marriage to protect a company that was never hers, under a man who treats her like a transaction. She doesn't love him. He doesn't want her. But power demands sacrifice. And she has no choice but to wear his ring.

Mr. Billionaire's Lovely Wife. by hijab_khan

"Treat me like your wife. I want you to give me a chance, give this marriage a chance." He looks at me with those brilliant blue eyes of his.

I look up at him and our eyes meet. "You want me to give this marriage a chance?" He asks in a surprisingly soft tone. I nod. Yes. I want this more than anything in this world. He cages me between his strong arms and brings his face closer to mine. "Are you sure you can handle it, Marilyn?" He asks, I close my eyes because I'm scared now. I don't know what he's goin- My mind goes completely blank when I feel his lips on mine. Oh my god. ****** Marilyn's life completely changes when she gets married to the hot CEO of Hayes and Co. the one and only, Aiden Hayes. Her hopes to have a great married life come crashing down on her wedding night when she realizes that her husband has no intentions to give this marriage a fair chance. To him, his work is everything. But, Marilyn couldn't give up, just not yet. She has to make this marriage work. Will she be able to succeed? Or will she end up losing him forever?

Soft Silence by authorem_

"𝐼𝑛 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑛𝑠, 𝑠ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑢𝑛." 𝘿𝙞𝙮𝙖 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 is kind, too kind and strong in the way that makes people forget she bleeds too. Love was never expected, only endurance. So when her father asked her to marry she nodded... not out of hope, but habit. 𝙑𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙧𝙖, grew up in a home that taught him how to build empires but never taught him how to ask for a hug. Marriage was never part of the plan until a hospital room, a fading pulse, and the one man he could never disappoint whispered a final wish. Neither expected warmth. Neither expected understanding. And they definitely didn't expect comfort in each's other's silence. A tale of quiet yearning- an arranged marriage where silence becomes a language and love sneaks in when no one's looking. - M 💌

Two Years Too Late by romazlone

They were strangers bound by an arranged marriage neither of them wanted. She, a quiet dreamer who had secretly loved him for years. He, a pragmatic man who saw marriage as an obligation, not an emotion. For two years, they lived as roommates - her world revolving around him, and his life quietly orbiting her without realizing it. Until one night, a phone call could have changed everything - if only he had picked up. That night changed her. The woman who once waited for love now wanted freedom. But by the time he finally saw what she meant to him... she was already gone. And some mistakes take years to heal - even if love never really leaves.

His Reluctant Bride by whispersonpaper07

He built an empire out of ashes, burying every trace of emotion beneath cold walls of steel and power. She grew up in a world that never valued her, carrying wounds that no one could see. Two broken souls from opposite worlds are bound together by fate. He has wealth, influence, and scars that never healed. She has nothing-except a quiet strength that could shatter his walls. As secrets of the past begin to unravel-mysterious deaths, betrayals, and shadows that refuse to stay buried-what began as an unwanted bond turns into the only thing that can save them both. It is not a story of riches or rags. It is a story of how a village girl becomes the heartbeat of a man who had forgotten how to feel love and how love can bloom even in the ruins of a burnt garden.

The Royal Deal by RoshniSharma476

It was supposed to be a marriage. A contract marriage. A simple deal beneficial to two families. But she hated it, she hated objectifying herself for the greed of her father. She hated the feeling of losing from a bunch of strangers who didn't consider her say in her own life. So, she turned the tables. What she didn't know was, he only agreed to a deal thinking she had a say. He didn't want a marriage yet agreed to one for the benefit and name of his family. He wasn't a man to mess with but she took her chance and he let her. And it might be her biggest mistake. Taking her chances with him. He got obsessed with everything about her. Her fragrance. Her voice. Her very presence. She came into his life with all the intentions to leave. Now the question is, would he really let her go? Would she want to stay?
