Some ruins don't crumble. They wait.
Noor Shekhawat returns to Rajasthan with one purpose-to sell her ancestral haveli and leave the past where it belongs: buried.
Ten days. That's all she planned to stay.
But the haveli isn't just bricks and memories, it's a grave of secrets, of betrayal, of sins whispered through generations.
And then there's him.
Rudra.
Rajasthan royalty. Keeper of a legacy as dark as the हवेली that stands beside his estate.
A man who has waited far too long.
A man who believes Noor owes a debt she doesn't even know exists.
What begins as a simple transaction turns into a dangerous entanglement of obsession, revenge, and a past that refuses to stay dead.
Because this haveli doesn't let people go.
It binds them. Breaks them. Claims them.
And somewhere between truth and lies-
Noor and Rudra aren't just fighting each other.
They're walking straight into their ruin.

LIMERENCE
"You didn't cry then," he said, his voice softer now but no less dangerous. "And now-when it's your husband doing the same..." he leaned in closer, "look at you." I kept my eyes down. I couldn't speak. I couldn't breathe. I was crumbling-inside out. Still, I didn't respond. "ANSWER ME, DAMMIT!" he roared suddenly, voice like a whip, echoing off the walls. I flinched so hard my knees buckled slightly-but his arms kept me upright, caged in. I sobbed now, broken, my voice lost in the weight of fear. "T-Taehyung... please... i-it wasn't like that-" I stuttered, barely able to form the words. He leaned in, his gaze sharp and unforgiving. "Then tell me, Ara... what was it like?" I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. Just silence. My throat closed, and my tears fell harder. I looked at him-begging, pleading-but said nothing. Only my broken sobs filled the room. He stared at me, unmoving. Something flickered behind his eyes for a split second. Regret? No-hesitation, maybe. But it vanished as quickly as it came. His voice dropped again, dark and quiet. "Stop crying now." I couldn't. My shoulders shook as I tried to hold it back. His eyes narrowed-his jaw clenched. And then he snapped. "STOP CRYING RIGHT FUCKING NOW, ARA-OTHERWISE I WON'T HESITATE TO DO SOMETHING I WON'T REGRET, BUT YOU WILL." When she left New York for Italy, all she expected was a reunion with her family - not a fate that would shatter her world. Now married to Kim Taehyung, the ruthless underboss of the mafia, she's trapped in a life she never chose. She fears him, hates him... yet he craves her obedience, demands her submission, and vows to make her his. Step into a story where glass meets iron - fragile resistance against unyielding power - and watch sparks fly.![Amore Tales [ short-story collection ] ✔︎](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/391417004-256-k232561.jpg)

With fragments of memories that suggest a story far different from what her husband seemed to make her believe she is at cross roads as to whom she should trust.

Fated
One event sealed his fate. Now one question threatens to cloud everything that he believes: Do you really know the one you claim to love? He thought he had left it all behind when he walked out, but there are some things that never leave you even if you try to leave them. Now fate has brought him back home, only to be lost in a labyrinth that promises to reveals terrible secrets at each turn, even while hiding the most important one of them all: who is behind it? But where do you even start to find the real enemy when the one person, who held the keys to unlock the mystery, has been silenced for eternity? When danger lurks just beneath the surface, can you protect the one who has become precious to you? Can you unravel the plot, before it is too late? ___________ While I have written the story using the characters names from India TV drama Swaragini, the characters/personalities or the plot is not similar in any way.
