But the more he tried to push her away...
the more possessive he became.
And when enemies from the past return, hidden truths begin unraveling, and obsession starts replacing hatred-
Faria realizes something terrifying:
The man she was forced to marry might become the very thing she can never escape.

Pyaar ki lakeerein 2.0
Naina gets to know that the feelings of love were mutual. So she decides to use her vacation break to not tell him, or pursue him with that information. She chose to be there, spend time with him, in his own habitat(yet to figure the how part of it!) to understand where he was coming from. Keep your friends close, pookies who choose to let you go, be all green forest - just cos they unanimously decided, it was best for you - closer! Why does this person who loves her more than she'd ever give credit for, knows that Nyra shares a really good bond with Naina and how the latter was genuinely invested in being Nyra's friend or person she wants her to be, irrespective of whether she moves on or not. yet he decides to keep her away hiding his feelings for her. Unless she gets to the root cause of his behaviour she ain't going to sort this out - Raj believed in facts & first person reality rather than third person accounts of how things are or can be! Yash ji & George were on her side. They wanted Raj to actually move on, be less analytical and be in the moment. And also realise that letting his love life take a back seat wasn't in anyway going to help or protectt his daughter from all the permutation & combination of issues his brain had already drafted. FYI Raj being all guarded is a given, and if she's going to hit him with - I know you love me, I know it all. Then it's a very easy decision for him - he'd just make sure he disagrees or finds all reasons to prove how misfit this was! No person can always remain emotionally detached- especially when you get to witness innate love, care affection right under your nose. People/heart dishing character certificates or monologues about how things could work is no way better than getting to experience it first hand. So that's her plan. 💪🏻✌🏻

Sweetest Sin
She tried to glare, but the effect was ruined by her flushed cheeks. "I spent an hour getting ready-" "And I'll spend the next ten minutes undoing all that hard work," I promised darkly, enjoying how her breath hitched. "By the time we reach the top floor, everyone will know exactly what their boss has been up to." "You wouldn't dare," she whispered, but the spark in her eyes told me she wasn't entirely opposed to the idea. "Wouldn't I?" My thumb traced her lower lip. "Try me, princess. We still have fifteen floors to go..." Her attempt at looking scandalized was adorable. "You're enjoying this far too much." "Baby," I pressed closer, "you have no idea." My thumb traced her jawline. "Ten more floors to go. Want to see how undone I can make you look by then?" "Dev..." she tried again, those doe eyes looking up at me pleadingly. "Think about it... if you mess up my saree now, what will the staff think?" I couldn't help but laugh at her attempt at manipulation. "Nice try, princess." My fingers traced her collarbone. "But watching you try to sweet-talk your way out of this?" I leaned closer, "Only makes me want to mess you up more." "But-" she bit her lip, "I need to look presentable. Professional." Her hands smoothed over my shirt in that innocent way that drove me crazy. "You want them to take your wife seriously, don't you?" "Oh sweetheart," I chuckled darkly, "trust me, they'll take you very seriously. Especially when they see how thoroughly claimed you look. Seven floors to go..." "Dev Singh Rajwansh!" She pushed against my chest, trying to look stern. "This is completely unprofessional-" "Says the woman who's currently gripping my shirt like her life depends on it," My fingers tightened slightly in her hair, tilting her head back to expose her neck, smirking as she immediately loosened her fingers. "Five floors left, baby. Want to try scolding me again?" SAB YAHI PE JAAN LOGE KYA?..........

Every step is guarded by security, every decision is controlled by protocol, and every dream is crushed under the weight of politics. The only thing missing from her life is freedom. On the other side is the darkness and chaos of Mumbai, where Malhaar Rathore is not ruled by law-he is ruled by fear. To the world, he is a mafia figure, but in his own story, he is a man carrying the burden of old hatred and a hunger for revenge that never sleeps.

But when fate brings them onto the same path, their first encounter begins in disguise... yet emotions refuse to stay hidden. For the first time, Kalyani finds someone in Malhaar who doesn't see her as "the CM's daughter," but simply as Kalyani. And Malhaar finds in her a weakness that could shake his entire world. But the truth is heavier-Malhaar's hatred is tied to Kalyani's father... and every truth about Kalyani collides with Malhaar's need for revenge. Between political games, the shadows of Mumbai, and the palaces of Delhi, begins a story where love and revenge breathe from the same heartbeat.
