    Adhira had come to believe she was fate's favourite. Every happiness that one could only dare to wish for had been laid at her feet. She was raised in a family that understood her heart, nurtured her mind and gave her the finest education in every art she chose to learn. And when, for the very first time, her heart fluttered for a man, Vikram Rathore, the King of Mehrangarh.. fate did not deny her that love either. Instead, she ended up marrying him and became his queen. She believed her life was perfect until that very fate turned cruel and took everything away from her, stripping her of every fragment of happiness she had ever known. Now pregnant with her late husband's child and the kingdom's potential heir, she finds herself torn apart between her heart's desire for peace and her sense of safety for her unborn baby. Raised to rule, Adhira was far from naive. She knew all too well that her child's safety was in question as Vikram's younger brother, Rajveer ascended the throne. And she would take any measure necessary to protect the little life growing within her. Whether it meant marrying Rajveer Rathore to secure her position... or killing him.

    Sandhya Sandhya, the youngest of her family, is a vibrant spirit, full of life and unspoken dreams. Despite her outward cheerfulness, she has learned to stay quiet in the face of familial expectations, choosing silence to maintain peace in a home that never fully understands her. Her accomplishments, though significant, go unnoticed, and her older sister's achievements often overshadow her. Sandhya, however, harbors a secret: a part of her soul that flourishes in ways no one knows. To escape the suffocating grip of her family, she agrees to a marriage of convenience, not seeking love, but the freedom to live as she chooses. Arjun Arjun, the eldest son in a family with expectations as high as the mountains, has always been the dutiful one. Pressured to follow a path that never felt his own, he's a doctor not by choice, but by duty. In his heart, he longs for a partner, someone with whom he can share the quiet moments and the wild dreams, someone who will choose him just as he chooses them. When he marries Sandhya, he hopes for more: an emotional connection, a bond that goes beyond the surface. Yet, despite their physical closeness, something feels missing, a distance he can't bridge. The Love That Took Its Time Two souls, each running from something they can't face alone. Sandhya's world is a quiet one, built on layers of unspoken truths and dreams left hidden. Arjun's world is one of unrelenting expectations and a life he never chose. When they marry, neither expects the other to change everything. But in the stillness of their shared space, they discover that sometimes, the quietest moments are the loudest. Their journey won't be easy, but in the places they never thought to look, they find something unexpected, something that was always there, waiting to be uncovered. In a marriage built on silence, can they find the voice to truly understand each other? Or will they remain strangers, even in love?

      Bab 46
    Vaidehi Mehra had loved once-and lost more than she could bear. Betrayed by the man she trusted and wounded by the family meant to protect her, she walked away from the ruins with only one reason to keep going: her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Esha. Esha's laughter, tiny hands, and unquestioning love became the fragile thread holding Vaidehi's broken heart together. Marriage was never meant to be part of her story again. Not after the betrayal. Not after the whispers. But one careless photograph and one malicious rumor are enough to undo everything she rebuilt. What begins as office gossip spirals into public scandal, dragging her dignity through headlines and threatening her career-and worse, her daughter's future. When reputation becomes survival, a solution is offered. Simple. Strategic. Respectable. Marriage. Vikram Khanna is the last man Vaidehi would ever choose to depend on. A self-made billionaire, disciplined, distant, and fiercely private, he has built his empire alone-and planned to keep his life that way. Their union is nothing more than damage control: a contractual arrangement designed to silence speculation and restore order. But neither of them accounts for Esha. With her innocent eyes and fearless affection, Esha becomes the quiet bridge between two guarded adults. As Vaidehi struggles with scars from her past and Vikram maintains the emotional walls that have always protected him, the boundaries of their arrangement begin to blur. What starts as strategy slowly begins to feel like shelter. What begins as obligation starts resembling belonging. A Home We Didn't Plan is a story of resilience before romance, of a child's innocence melting the coldest defenses, and of two people who never intended to build a family-yet may discover that love sometimes grows where it was never meant to.

    She had already buried one marriage. He had already watched another fall apart. Love was the last thing either of them was looking for. After moving from London to Dubai with her five-year-old son, Inaya Alvi wants nothing more than a quiet life and a fresh start. Her world revolves around Ayaan, her career, and the promise she made to herself never to mistake duty for love again. Across the hall lives Zayaan Mirza, a successful businessman and single father whose life is meticulously organised, except for the little girl who desperately wants more of her father's time. When Ayaan and Ayra become inseparable from the moment they meet, their parents find themselves thrown into each other's lives. What begins as reluctant neighbourly encounters slowly turns into shared dinners, school events, bedtime stories, and the comforting chaos of raising two children who have already decided they are family. But when a custody battle threatens to take Ayra away, Inaya and Zayaan make an impossible decision. They marry. Not for love. Not for themselves. Only for the children. Living under one roof is easy. Learning to trust each other is not. As old wounds, grief, betrayal and the ghosts of failed marriages refuse to stay buried, two broken hearts must discover that healing cannot be rushed, love cannot be forced, and sometimes the safest place to fall is into the arms of someone patient enough to wait. Because home isn't always a place. Sometimes... it's the family that chooses you. --- A slow-burn marriage-of-convenience romance featuring neighbours to lovers, single parents, found family, emotional healing, childhood friendships, domestic comfort, gentle humour, and a hero who proves that the greatest love stories aren't built through grand gestures-but through patience, respect, and choosing each other every single day.

    "You were never meant to be my wife, Saanvi." "Don't worry, Reyansh," she replied quietly. "I was never planning to stay." Reyansh Malhotra never planned to marry Saanvi Rao. In fact, he made sure she knew that before the wedding even happened. When powerful families decide their future, love rarely gets a say. Forced into an alliance neither of them wanted, Reyansh offers Saanvi a deal the night before their wedding. Six months. Six months of pretending to be husband and wife. Six months until he divorces her and marries the woman he truly loves. For Reyansh, it is a simple arrangement. For Saanvi, it is a quiet sacrifice. Bound by a contract and trapped in the cold grandeur of the Malhotra mansion, Saanvi quickly learns that being Reyansh's wife does not mean being accepted as one. To him, she is only a placeholder... a temporary solution to a permanent problem. And when Rhea Kapoor-the woman Reyansh loves-walks back into his life, the fragile balance of their arrangement begins to shatter. But hearts are unpredictable. And sometimes the person meant to stay only for a while... becomes the one you cannot bear to lose. Because some contracts are easy to sign. Breaking them, however, might cost everything.

    This story is about a man who rejected love before he understood its worth and a woman who learned how to live after losing it. When a royal alliance forces Heer Rathore into a contract marriage with Hriday Agnivanshi-the same man who broke her heart years ago-she enters the relationship with no expectations, no hopes, and no intention of looking back. Polite, graceful, and distant, she gives him everything a wife should except the one thing he never valued when it was offered freely-her love. What begins as a marriage of duty slowly becomes something far more complicated. Because while Heer is busy forgetting the man she once adored, Hriday finds himself haunted by the woman who no longer looks at him the same way. A story of quiet heartbreak, unspoken longing, second chances, and a love so slow it takes years to bloom, this is not the tale of a woman falling in love. It is the tale of a man realizing far too late that he already had been loved.

Women don't look at me - they look at the crown. At the Ranawat name. At the legacy I carry on my shoulders. They fall for the title. For the power. For the Raj gaddi. But the day I saw her everything changed. Ananya Aradhya Singhania. She didn't look at me like I was a throne to sit on. She looked at me like I was just a man. No greed in her eyes. No calculation. No hunger for status. Just calm. Just grace. Just something untouched by this fake world. She doesn't try to impress me. Maybe that's why I lost. This isn't attraction. This isn't ego. This is love. For the first time in my life, I don't want to conquer. I want to protect. And I swear on my life- my only aim now is to stand between her and every storm. If loving her means becoming softer, then I'll become softer. ╰┈➤ ANANYA ARADHYA SINGHANIA [22] University student ,princess of jaipur I hate royal blood. People think royalty means grace and power. I think-it means [secrets and betrayal]. I was just 10 when my mother died. after 1 year , my father married to my mother 's assistant. Everyone called it fate. I call it murder. At twelve, I left for boarding school- away from Jaipur, away from marble walls that felt like cages. In this world, I only care about two people: my brother, the present King of Jaipur - the only exception - and my best friend, Meera Mehra The rest of the royal world? Keep it away from me. Especially him. Ekansh Singh Ranawat. He roams around me like some bhatakti aatma. What does he think - that he's some king or something? Well... technically he is. But that doesn't impress me. Royal blood is dangerous. And I promised myself I'd never let it rule my heart. No crown is worth my peace. No king is worth my trust.

    Luciano Romano has never wanted a wife. As the thirty-two-year-old head of the Romano Syndicate-the largest and most powerful crime organization in Europe-his life belongs to his empire. Duty comes before everything, and love has never had a place in it. Amara Kozlova has never belonged anywhere. The hidden, illegitimate daughter of the head of the Kozlova Bratva, she spent her life in the shadows of the family that refused to acknowledge her. Provided for, but never accepted, she learned to survive by becoming invisible. When a ruthless criminal empire known as **The Obsidian Cartel** threatens to destroy the balance of the underworld, two rival syndicates are forced into an uneasy alliance. The price of peace is a marriage neither of them ever wanted. Bound by duty, Luciano and Amara begin their lives as strangers sharing nothing but a vow. But as loyalty is tested, enemies close in, and war looms over Europe's most powerful crime families, the distance between them slowly begins to disappear. In a world where trust is earned, betrayal is deadly, and every promise is written in blood, their arranged marriage may become the strongest alliance of all-or the very thing that brings their empires to ruin.

    "𝐇𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧... 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞." ༺♡༻ There are only two ways to leave his world. Dead. Or loyal. When Eira is dragged into the heart of the most feared underworld empire, she expects torture, interrogation, maybe even death. Instead, she finds herself locked inside a kingdom built on blood, watched through endless cameras, surrounded by men who would kill at a single command, and held captive by a man who never trusts anyone. He doesn't believe in mercy. Eira doesn't believe in surrender. While he watches her every move, convinced she's just another piece on his chessboard, Eira quietly learns the rules of a world where betrayal is currency, loyalty is bought, and power belongs only to those willing to take it. But the deeper she walks into his empire, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the truth-someone has been manipulating the game long before either of them realised they were players. And when the first empire falls... It isn't because he declared war. It's because Eira did. What begins as captivity turns into the most dangerous alliance the underworld has ever witnessed. Kings lose their thrones. Bloodlines are erased. Empires collapse. And the two people who were supposed to destroy each other become the only names powerful enough to rewrite the rules of the criminal world. The underworld spent years fearing him. It never imagined Eira would give it someone else to fear.
