She was being forced into an arranged marriage.
He was already becoming her something.
Neither of them knew -
they were being set up with each other.
Ira Malhotra, a sharp and reserved corporate professional, never believed in love.
Aarav Rathore, a powerful business tycoon and owner of a vast empire, never made time for it.
But somewhere between quiet
conversations, and unspoken feelings-
they changed.
Just when everything started to feel real-
families stepped in.
Decisions were made.
And suddenly, they were pushed into a future neither of them chose...
yet both of them wanted.
What happens when love begins before it's even named?
And what if the person you're being forced to choose-
is the one your heart has already chosen?

𝐓𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐲 (On Hold)
#Book 1 of 𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝑻𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 Aarush Singhania × Avyukta Roy All I ever asked from life was love. Not wealth. Not power. Not even happiness. Just love. A little piece of it to call mine. Just someone to choose me. But life has never given me even that. Everyone I've ever wanted, everything I've ever held close, has been taken away from me. My mother-torn away in front of my eyes. My father-his love drowned in battles I never understood. Even my voice-silenced when I needed it most. My dreams-shattered before I could ever reach them. And now, my love.....even the one person I dared to love. The one who once looked at me like I was the only woman in the world... is walking away. Not because fate was cruel this time. But because his heart belongs to someone else- to my sister. Because his heart was never mine to keep. I've always been the second choice. The shadow, the substitute, the one left behind. A daughter who couldn't protect her mother. A girl who wasn't enough for her father. A woman who couldn't hold on to her own voice. And now... a lover who was never truly loved. And yet, some foolish part of me still hoped. Hoped that maybe, just once, love would stay. That maybe, for once, someone would look at me and see me-not as a second option, but as the only one. But today proves what I should have known all along. Love was never mine. It was never meant for me. Because I am, and will always be... the second choice.
Virah: An Art Of Longing
DHRUV KHURANA One thing I've always been good at-is failing. A failed marriage. A failed dream. A failed attempt at life itself. When the world I built came crashing down, I thought that was it-until she showed up. Saisha. She was sunshine - And I was the midnight rain. A stranger who walked into my darkness with a warmth that terrified me. She calls me her friend. But every smile she gives feels like a sunrise I don't deserve, and with every word she says pulls me closer to the light I'd given up on. And now I can't stop wondering- Am I allowed to fall for her, or will I lose the only person who made me want to live again? SAISHA KASHYAP People say I'm easy to read, but they don't see the storm I hide underneath. All my life, I've followed rules, lived inside boxes, and smiled when I was supposed to. Until Dhruv. He listens like no one ever has. He sees the real me-the messy, loud, lost me. And somehow, in helping him find hope, I start finding pieces of myself I didn't know existed. Lately, I've realized my heart beats a little louder for him. Strange, right? I didn't know a friend could make that kind of difference. Am I fooling myself... or are we just friends?
