"I don't know how to leave all this behind and start again. It's like I'm stuck in quicksand, Neil!" 

"There's only one way out of quicksand , Dhati." 

"And what is that?"

"You lean into it. And pray that you float."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 He was a quiet, introverted soul. She was fire; divorced, disillusioned and bitter. 

Neil and Arundhati met because their families, although reluctantly, wished them to know about each other. 

When things went violently wrong, they accepted that they would never see each other again. Forces deigned them to cross paths again, and they were left in a quandary. Do they write their story together, or should their stories diverge, never to meet again?

What happens when an arranged marriage goes wrong before it even has a chance to start? Does everything deserve a second chance?

When past, present and future meld into one confusing patch of quicksand, Neil and Arundhati learn to navigate their  ship of relationship in the seas of life. Join them in their quest for a right fit:)

Warning: Its a slow romance, none of the wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am business-_-+

The shock of the sudden gesture steals her breath away, and her body stiffens for a moment before melting into mine. Our mouths move together in a fierce, unbridled dance, our lips and tongues tangling in a feverish embrace. I break the kiss, reluctantly pulling away from her. "𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐞.

Raw emotions of love and care were floating in their eyes but both feared what if they misconcluded it. What if what they saw in each others eyes was nothing just a mere infatuation . What if they would never reciprocate the feelings they had for each other. So many what ifs on their minds............

My Legal Addiction by Zoori_writes

"Don't fall in love with me" I warned. " I? Will fall for you ?" She laughed mockingly "Ohh you are so delusional Reyaan. Remember it's a contractual marriage and I will certainly never fall for you, not in a billion years" Her words snapped something in me ..it provoked me and her eyes those perfect shade of brown silently challenged me "Not in a billion years, huh?? Is it a challenge, brownie?" I asked in an alarming voice, taking slow and deliberate strides in her direction. "Because I never lose one" I whispered in her ear as I pinned her against the wall of the elevator. JIA NIKITA KHURANA ********************** She who was damaged till ruins that she lost herself.. Once a sunshine was now a grumpy Once a girl who dreamed of Prince Charming has now felt unlovable. She swears that she would never fall into the hollow idea of love and that she would never marry anyone. But destiny, master of its mind...twisted its axis and now. Jia who was against the concept of marriage was now forced to marry an arrogant emotionless cold cold-blooded expressionless overbearing and handsome billionaire who was born with a poker face. REYAAN SHAHVEER ******************** He who was broken at a very young age by the people who were supposed to love him and he lost himself before he found himself Repulsed by the idea of hollow commitments Loathing the idea of staying with a person who will eventually hurt you He was determined that he will never love anyone and certainly never marry someone But much to his dismay Reyaan, who was never going to marry someone, was forced into a marriage with a girl who screamed danger from 10 miles away.....a danger he was sure he must avoid. Except he found himself bound to her by a contract and also by marriage. REYAAN SHAHVEER x JIA NIKITA KHURANA Tropes Arranged marriage Contractual marriage Past trauma

She stammered, her voice trembling, but he shook his head in denial. "Am I so ugly that you're cheating on me and are so desperate to divorce me, boliye, Ansh ji?" It was the only thought that came to her mind. Could he be cheating? Did he loved someone else? But why was he telling all of this now? He didn't answer her, but he felt a pang when she referred to herself as ugly. How could she, when every boy is after her? He himself had been waiting for her for the past 12 years. When he finally spoke, his words cut deeper than she had thought possible. "We were essentially forced into this marriage, Rooh. It has no future; you and I have no future. So, don't expect anything from me," he said as a lone tear escaped from his eyes. She couldn't speak; her world had shattered, and her emotions were in turmoil. It felt like her world had turned upside down. How would a woman feel when, on the very first night of her marriage, she was asked for a divorce, and her husband gifted her divorce papers? One promise that turned their lives upside down. How will they survive? Will they go through all the hardships together, or will they part ways midway? Join Rooh and Abhiyansh to know what destiny holds for them.
