In a world where hearts were easily broken, he chose to have none. A powerful businessman, cold and untouchable, lived a life built on silence and control. He never spoke with warmth, never cared enough to stay, and never allowed anyone close enough to hurt him. Emotions were nothing but distractions-and he had buried his long ago. Until one night... everything changed. He found her-alone, trembling, and fragile like a piece of glass ready to shatter. Her eyes held fear, her silence carried pain, and her small hands clutched onto nothing... as if she had already lost everything. For the first time, he didn't walk away. He didn't know why he stopped. He didn't know why her tears affected him. But something in her broken existence reached the part of him he thought was long dead. She was scared of everything... even of him. Yet slowly, unknowingly, she became the reason his empty world began to feel again. He, who never believed in love, found himself learning care... patience... protection. Not as a lover- But as a brother she never had. And she, who feared the world, found safety in the arms of the man everyone else feared. But when the shadows of her past return, threatening to take her away from the only place she feels safe... Will he be able to protect her? Or will the fragile bond they built break before it can truly become a family. A story of a shattered girl and a frozen man-two souls finding warmth in a bond stronger than blood. ✨ ---

The Gospel of a Mafia Princess
Raised to be holy. Born into something far more dangerous. Seventeen year old, Evienne Ellery spent her life preparing for heaven. Sent away to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps by distant, unfeeling adoptive parents, she was raised by nuns and priests to be obedient, submissive and small. Behind stone chapels and cold classrooms, Evienne learned early that love was conditional, punishment was holy, and suffering was something to be endured quietly Her future was simple: be good, be faithful, and one day do her duty-marry a man who would secure her family's interests. Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal. They don't pray. They don't obey. And they certainly don't believe in God the way she was taught. They believe in blood. With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again. In their world of power, crime, and betrayals, Evienne learns that love doesn't always look gentle-and protection often comes with a body count. But as old family feuds resurface, enemies close in, and the past she was hidden from begins to reach for her, Evienne is forced to confront an impossible question: What happens when the people you love will never be welcome in heaven-and you're no longer sure you want to go without them?
ADOPTED BY FAITH
"The greatest betrayal isn't from strangers... it's from the people you call family." Abhimanyu Oberoi was never the problem. But one lie was enough to make his own family believe otherwise. Manipulated by Rahul-the boy they had adopted and trusted-the Oberois sent their younger son away to a boarding school, believing it was the only way to protect their family. Then, one night... A devastating fire turned the boarding school into ashes. No body was ever found. Everyone believed Abhimanyu Oberoi was dead. Everyone moved on. But some stories don't end in flames. Years later, when a mysterious young man walks back into the Oberois' lives, buried secrets begin to surface, old wounds reopen, and the truth everyone ignored threatens to destroy everything they once believed. Was Abhimanyu really dead? If not... where had he been all these years? And what if the biggest lie in the Oberoi family was never about him? Some stories aren't about revenge... they're about surviving the people who were supposed to love you.
DOOSRI BAAR : Pehli zindagi ki galtiyan, doosri zindagi ka hisaab.
Anaya Rajvansh had everything once-a loving husband, three beautiful children, and a family she believed she could trust. Unfortunately, she trusted the wrong people. She believed every lie they told her, ignored every warning from the people who genuinely loved her, and pushed away the one man who had always stood beside her-Armaan Rathore. By the time Anaya discovered the truth, her marriage, family, reputation, and happiness were already destroyed. Then she died. But fate gives her one impossible gift. A second life. A second chance. Anaya wakes up ten years in the past-with every memory intact. This time, she knows exactly who betrayed her. But instead of confronting them, she does something far more dangerous. She pretends to be the same innocent, easily manipulated Anaya they remember. She smiles. She agrees. She trusts them. And secretly watches them walk straight into the traps they're creating for themselves. But while Anaya is busy planning revenge, there's one problem she never anticipated... Armaan. The husband she once failed to trust. The man who notices that his supposedly naïve wife is suddenly hiding far too many secrets. And then there are their three chaotic children-sensible Aadhya, mischievous Reyansh, and adorable little Siya-who turn Anaya's carefully planned second life into an unpredictable comedy of errors. This time, Anaya doesn't want to simply punish the people who destroyed her. She wants to save the family she lost. Because in her first life, she trusted the wrong people. In her second, she's going to let the wrong people trust her. 😌Complete![ထပ်တူညီစေမည့်ရပ်ဝန်းငယ် [ Completed ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/407884704-256-k931091.jpg)
