    She liked him. Quietly....deeply...in the kind of way that never asked to be seen. But he never saw her. Not as a crush. Not as a friend. Not even as someone worth understanding. He wasn't cruel. He wasn't confused. He just... never chose her. And still, she stayed. At first, it was small-just a fleeting feeling. But with time, it grew into something consuming... something that lived in every glance she stole, every message she waited for, every silence he left behind. She fell first. And then she fell harder. Until loving him became a habit she didn't know how to stop. Until one day- she did. Not all at once. Not in a dramatic goodbye. But slowly... piece by piece... she took her heart back. Or at least, that's what it looked like. Because now- she doesn't react. She doesn't wait. She doesn't care. Or maybe... she just pretends she doesn't. To him, she was just someone annoying. Someone easy to ignore. Someone who never mattered. But fate has a way of returning what was once overlooked. Because when they meet again- when her eyes no longer search for him- He notices. He pauses. He wonders. He feels. And this time... he falls. Harder than she ever did. Not slowly. Not carefully. But in the kind of way that ruins sleep and steals breath. While she- just watches, as if she feels nothing at all. 🏆 Ranked #1 in Crush 🏆 Ranked #1 in OneSidedLove 🏆 Ranked #1 in Reunion ~ a story that started with silence... and stayed. ❤️

    "Smile for the cameras, Ananya. The world doesn't need to know you're just a replacement." At twenty-eight, Kabir Raichand is a lethal paradox. By day, he is the ruthless CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporate empire. By night, he is India's youngest, most formidable politician-a man whose nod can shift power lines and whose scowl commands prime-time news. He has everything he ever wanted, except the woman he loved. When his family blocks his marriage to his first love, Meera, and marries her off to his older brother instead, Kabir's world shatters. To protect his political image and secure a wholesome "family man" reputation for the upcoming elections, he is forced to marry someone else. Meera's quiet, invisible cousin. Ananya Sharma has carried a fierce, silent crush on Kabir since she was a little girl. But the day Kabir fell for Meera, Ananya buried her feelings and locked the key away. She never asked to be the substitute bride. She never asked to be trapped in a political transaction. Yet, she finds herself walking down the aisle, draped in heavy silks, marrying the man who looks at her with nothing but burning resentment. Now, they live under the same roof. A cold, high-security mansion where Kabir treats her like a ghost by night, but has to play the doting, possessive husband under the blinding flashlights of the media by day. To make matters worse, Meera is always there-living across the hallway as his sister-in-law, a constant reminder of the life he lost. Kabir promises to make Ananya pay for a marriage she didn't choose. But as political rivals close in, a charming new client enters Ananya's life, and her silent grace begins to break Kabir's icy walls. The ruthless politician is about to learn that the wife he hates is the only woman he can't afford to lose. A high-stakes, angsty, Indian arranged-marriage romance filled with corporate power plays, political secrets, burning jealousy, and a very slow burn.

    When Eleanora Caruso's father sells her future to settle a debt, she is forced into marriage with the most feared man in Italy - Vincenzo Esposito. Cold. Untouchable. Dangerous. A man whose name makes powerful people lower their voices. One night she is a university student with a thesis to finish and a life of her own. The next, she is standing at the altar beside a stranger who watches her like he already knows exactly who she is. But marriage to Vincenzo is not what she expected. He does not touch her. Does not force her. Does not ask for love. Instead he gives her rules. Protection. Distance. And the terrifying feeling that beneath all his control is something far more dangerous than cruelty - restraint. As enemies close in around the Esposito empire, Eleanora finds herself trapped inside a world of power, violence, loyalty, and secrets old enough to destroy families. And the closer she gets to the man she was forced to marry, the harder it becomes to remember she once planned to hate him. Because Vincenzo Esposito may be the wrong man for her in every possible way. But he looks at her like she is the only soft thing he has left. A slow-burn arranged marriage romance filled with tension, obsession, power, emotional intimacy, and a love story that begins with a debt and turns into something neither of them expected.
