Under Your Watch: Bulletproof Lies (On-Going)
He was born into the shadows. She was raised to uncover them. In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and silence is survival, their paths were never meant to cross. He was the quiet, cold son of a mafia family-someone who'd learned early that emotions were weaknesses best buried. She, on the other hand, was everything he wasn't: bright, kind, and fearless, a girl who smiled through the cruelty of others, even when her name was whispered with envy and hate. Her classmates despised her brilliance, mocked her joy, and tore her down in ways that left invisible scars. But while she stood alone against it all, she never knew someone had been watching-someone who made sure every hand raised against her never went unpunished. He protected her from the shadows, fought for her without ever being seen, and somewhere between the silence and violence, something inside him began to change. But time has a way of turning light into distance. Years later, he's the ruthless successor to his family's empire. She's a secret agent, trained to bring down that very same empire. Neither recognizes the other-until a mission gone wrong exposes her, and he takes her captive. Now, behind locked doors and under his watch, lies and truth blur like gunfire in the night. Between the crosshairs of duty and desire, they'll discover that the most dangerous kind of love... is the one you're forbidden to have.
When Nina Happened
Aarav never believed a random Instagram group chat could change his life - until Nina. What began as late-night banter turned into secret conversations, stolen confessions, and a bond neither of them expected. But Nina's world isn't simple. With parents who monitor her every move, a "perfect daughter" mask she's forced to wear, and a secret rebellion of quiet sips and louder dreams, she lives two lives: one the world sees, and one she hides. Aarav becomes the only one who knows both. When fate brings them to the same college, their connection only intensifies. From whispered calls to midnight sneak-ins at his flat, from laughter in crowded classrooms to tears behind locked doors, their love becomes an intoxicating mix of chaos and comfort. They fight, they break, they heal - but above all, they choose each other, again and again. This is not just a story of love; it's a story of freedom found in another soul, of rebellion dressed as romance, of secrets heavy enough to break but beautiful enough to hold. In a world that wants them apart, Aarav and Nina learn that the most unforgettable love is the one you're willing to risk everything for.Complete
