Aaina and Kabir absolutely cannot stand each other. They fight, bicker, annoy each other daily, and somehow still end up in each other's space every single time. Weirdly enough, the only thing they both love is old historical manuscripts.
One Sunday evening, while reading about a forgotten king, his pregnant queen, and the evil brother who stole everything from them, they do the impossible-have one normal conversation.
The next day, instead of clocking into work, they get dragged straight into the past.
Now they're stuck in a kingdom on the edge of ruin, with one mission: save the king, protect the queen and her unborn child, and stop the villainous brother from winning this time.
Because between sword fights, secrets, chaos, and way too many sacrifices, Aaina and Kabir have another problem-they're falling for each other.
And when the final sacrifice comes, they'll have to decide: save history... or save themselves.
──✩₊⁺⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧──
"So, are you two actually a couple pretending to be enemies?"
Aaina scoffed. "Not a chance. My standards aren't dropping that low."
Kabir shot her a glare. "Please. Even if you were the last woman on Earth, I wouldn't pick you."
──✩₊⁺⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧──
"I just hope that somehow... in every life, in every version of us, we still find our way back to each other," Kabir said softly as they parted, unsure if it was a temporary goodbye or something more permanent.

The Love Arranged
"Your fingers," Alaia murmured, tracing lazy circles against his knuckles, "they weave stories on my skin." Ranvijay huffed a quiet laugh against her hair, his thumb moving slow along her wrist like he had nowhere else in the world to be, which, for once, he didn't. "That's because every touch tells me something new about you. Your touch is my favourite story. Always has been." They didn't start here. Ranvijay Singh Ranawat built two empires before he turned thirty-three and never once let anyone close enough to matter. Love, to him, was a door someone could walk out of, he'd watched it happen once, up close, and decided a long time ago that a life built on work was safer than one built on hope. Marriage wasn't on his list. It never had been. Alaia Sharma lost the two people who were supposed to love her longest before she was old enough to remember their faces. She grew up surrounded by a family that adored her, loud, warm, wonderfully imperfect, and still went to bed some nights aching for something none of them could quite give her. She never stopped believing someone, someday, would choose to stay. She just stopped expecting it. Two grandfathers. One decades-old friendship. A single, gentle proposition: just give each other a chance. That's all we're asking. No pressure. No ultimatums. Just a party, a wine-stained shirt, and a conversation neither of them meant to have. What starts as a favour to their families slowly, quietly becomes - dinners, late-night phone call, small unguarded moment at a time, into a love neither of them saw coming and both of them, eventually, chose with their whole hearts. But some families bury their oldest secrets for a reason. And not every ghost from the past stays gone. A story about the families we're born into, the ones we build for ourselves, and the people who teach us that love was never about being perfect , only about staying.
Love and crosses
Fate tested him multiple times until she arrived and he realized now the actual cross to his life was set
GAME OF LUCK
"Some games are played by power. Some by revenge. This one was played by fate." Varahi Singh Chauhan Cold. Calculated. Untouchable. Doesn't believe in love. Believes in control. Her weakness? -doesn't exist. Her secret? She knows more than she lets on. "I don't lose. I negotiate." Anushthan Chandravanshi Ruthless. Silent. Dangerous. Runs businesses that don't exist on paper. Hates the Chauhans with a passion that burns slow and deep. "Marriage is a deal. Emotions are optional." Two empires. One scandal buried under blood and silence. And a marriage that was never meant to happen. When a decades-old case resurfaces-one death, two families, zero truth- the Chauhans and Chandravanshis are forced into an alliance disguised as marriage. Varahi and Anushthan don't just dislike each other. They despise each other. She thinks he's a manipulative criminal. He thinks she's a heartless corporate snake. But here's the twist- both are right. Love was never part of the deal. But obsession? Yeah... that shows up uninvited. Touch-her-and-die energy "I hate you but I'd burn the world for you"

𝐕𝐢𝐡𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐲 𝐊𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐱 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢 𝐀𝐳𝐡𝐚𝐫 He was sunshine-radiant, relentless, a force that bathed the world in light. I was midnight rain-quiet, shadowed, falling softly where the sun dared not reach. Vihaan was the sin I was meant to avoid, yet with every step I took away, he drew nearer. Those emerald eyes, that midnight-black hair, the curve of his silhouette-they whispered a dark promise I couldn't escape. The story was never as simple as two people falling for each other. There was always a shadow-always someone lurking just beyond the edges of light. He never stepped into the frame completely, but I could feel him. Sometimes in the silence between my footsteps. Sometimes in the breeze that moved the curtain when no windows were open. Sometimes in the way my name appeared on notes I never saw anyone deliver. The masked man. He wasn't just watching. He was waiting.
