[THE VOWS OF FAITH, #1]
Roop
I was a witness to a murder.
Now, I'm a spirit in a gilded cage. My life ended the night I saw too much in that bar.
But then he found me.
Prithviraj Singh Chauhan.
The man who offered me a name, a ring, and a lie.
He wants a wife to appease his family. I want a future where I'm not looking over my shoulder.
The deal is simple: One room. One secret.
But every time he looks at me, I forget that this is just a deal.

Prithviraj
I don't do charity. I do business.
My family wants a bride?
I'll give them one.
Roop was supposed to be a tool. A witness I could keep on a leash.
She's a bar dancer with no past and a dangerous future.
I told her I'd be a gentleman. I told her I wouldn't touch her. But watching her move through my house is a slow-burn torture.
She thinks she's a prisoner in my cage. She doesn't realize I'm the one being held captive.
My friend wants her silenced. My family wants her perfect.
But I'm keeping her.
Because she owes me her life, and I'm coming to collect.

Fire Of Veil And Vows
Vaidehi Chauhan was born into a world of gold and grit, but she learned early that a royal smile is the best place to hide a bleeding heart. At twenty-two, she is a storm trapped in silk, bound by a sacred marriage vow to a man who is as much a stranger as he is her husband. Rana Vanraj Singh Rathore is a decade older, a man carved from the hard stone of the Mewar hills, powerful, possessive, and dangerously restrained. To the world, she is the poised princess. To him, she is a mystery he wants to unravel slowly, breath by agonizing breath. Behind the closed doors of the royal wing, the air thickens with a tension that neither of them can voice. It is in the way his gaze lingers on the curve of her neck, or how her pulse stutters whenever he stands close enough for her to feel the heat radiating from his skin. He is a flame that consumes everything in its path, and she is the one woman who refuses to be burnt. But in a palace where every shadow holds a secret, a single word can ignite a fire that no vow can contain. As the hunger she tries to bury begins to clash with the cold duty she was raised for, Vaidehi must face the truth. Loving him isn't just a choice; it is a surrender that will either liberate her or destroy them both. This is a high-tension, mature royal Indian romance where every touch is a provocation and every glance is a sin.Complete

"How does it feel to see your love holding a weapon?" Hurt. Betrayed. A failure. That's everything Rajveer felt in that moment. Staring into Vanya's eyes, all he could see was hate. Ten years of waiting- ten long years of pain and unanswered questions-had led him to this. And now, he stood face-to-face with her, a woman he once loved, who now seemed to be his enemy. "I have waited for ten years... a whole fucking ten years just for this moment. Now, I will not let this slip away. The person standing in front of me is nothing but a murderer. I don't care about love anymore. If someone stands in my way, I swear, I won't hesitate to split their neck-even if it's my own love." But Vanya had her own battles to fight. Betrayed by the one person she trusted the most, her heart had turned cold. In Rajveer, she saw nothing but rage and vengeance. The misunderstanding that tore them apart years ago had left wounds too deep to heal. "How could the person who once promised to protect me be the one ready to destroy me? You don't understand, Rajveer... you never did. And now, all I see in you is a stranger with a sword." Love and betrayal collide in a storm of misunderstandings and heartbreak.

What will happen when the four Rajvardhan brothers, cold-hearted, power-driven, and scarred by their pasts, are forced into marriage under family pressure? Thrown into unwanted vows with four women, these men are about to face a storm of secrets, rebellion, and desire. Will they cage the women they're bound to, or set themselves on fire in the process?

A presence that slips through power like smoke, leaving chaos in its wake.

It moves between them, twisting truths, and marking its next prey. And as the brothers fall for the women meant to ruin them, the shadow begins to rise, pulling everyone into a game where love is a weapon, and survival is the only sin worth committing.

Chachi was crying uncontrollably while Mom tried to console her, whispering soft words that clearly weren't helping. On the bed lay the bridal lehenga-perfectly arranged, untouched... as if the bride had simply vanished from the moment. A strange uneasiness crept into my chest. "Chachi... what happened? And where is Lavanya?" I asked, my eyes searching the room, hoping she would suddenly walk out from somewhere laughing. Mom looked at me, her eyes red. "Lavanya... ran away." For a moment, the world seemed to fall silent. Ran away? The words echoed in my mind like a cruel joke. Just last night she had smiled at me, telling me she was happy. How could she disappear like this on the day of her wedding? Before I could process the shock, Chachu suddenly stepped forward. And then he did something that made my breath hitch. He folded his hands in front of me. "Shivanya... please do your chachu a favor. Please marry Abhimaan." My heart stopped. "Chachu... I- I can't do that," I said, stepping back, shaking my head in disbelief. "This is wrong. And what about him? How can I-" "He has already agreed," Papa said softly from behind me. I turned toward him, stunned. "He... what?" "He said yes," Papa continued gently. "Our reputation, our honor... everything lies in your hands now. Trust me, beta. He will keep you happy." Happy? The word felt strangely hollow. Because the truth was far more complicated. She wanted to walk away from every memory of him... every moment that once shattered her heart. Yet destiny, with a twisted smile, was pushing her toward the same man she once swore to forget. Was it truly destiny's plan... or someone else pulling the treads...
