    "Where shattered trust turns love into a battlefield of dreams." Tears streamed down Aishwarya's face, each drop a painful reminder of the hurt she couldn't escape. Her chest tightened, and her breath was shallow, the weight of her emotions nearly overwhelming her. She had always believed in love, in being cherished, but now that belief seemed distant, shattered by the cruel words Manveer had spoken. Her heart felt like it was burning, torn apart by the very person she had trusted the most. "No," she shouted, her voice very loud. "Leave me, Manveer. I can't live with you anymore after what you said " Her words broke, and she clutched her chest, as though the pain would consume her. Manveer's voice louder with desperation and anger . "Aishwarya, you can't leave me like this. You remember the consequences of breaking the marriage before the contract ends." But Aishwarya could barely hear him. "I remember I am your so-called wife," she said bitterly.I am worthless to you and to everyone around me." His face twisted in confusion, but she was too deep in her pain to care. She had always tried to accept him the way he was, She tried to be the loyal partner, but now, all that one sided efforts felt useless. "You never really thought of me," she screamed, her voice breaking. Manveer stood frozen, his heart breaking with every word. He knew he had hurt her deeply. " Aishwarya," he said. "Don't leave me." But she was already turning away, her eyes full of sorrow. "I'm going away from you and this world," she said, her voice trembling. Her soul was shattered So what will Aishwarya do ahead ? Will she leave Manveer and lead her life OR Accept his mistakes and the way he treated her for his betrayed past. Tropes #forced marriage #contact marriage #cold hearted #age gap #slow burn romance

    Varsha Sharma had always believed life unfolded in a straight line-one step after another, one dream leading gently into the next. She had love waiting for her, wedding rituals filling her days, a brother and sister-in-law who were her world, and two little souls who filled the house with laughter. Everything was set. Everything was certain. Until the night everything changed. In a single, cruel moment, her perfect life shattered, leaving her with two infants who clung to her heartbeat and a world that no longer made sense. Her marriage collapsed, her home fell silent, and every path she once dreamed of closed at once. But grief has a strange way of rearranging destinies. Pulled together by loss and bound by responsibility, Varsha and Ashwin Raina-strangers in every sense but devotion-find their lives stitched into the same story. He, the quiet, work-driven brother who lost a sister too soon. She, the bruised yet unbreakable girl who became a mother overnight. Together, they step into a marriage neither planned, building a family from the ruins of heartbreak, discovering strength in places they never looked, and learning that sometimes love doesn't arrive as a choice... but as a promise you make to those who can't make one for themselves. Sometimes love doesn't arrive as a fairy tale- sometimes it grows quietly in the spaces grief leaves behind.

    She is the Communicator of the New Area. The Communicators do the one job other humans are too afraid to do, communicating and preventing violence between wolves and humans. "My name is Alara. I'm the new Communicator. This is my first day. I-" "I know what Communicators are all about," he interrupts. "I've met many over the years. You speak of understanding and cooperation while your guns are loading behind your backs." "That's not-" "Save your diplomatic bullshit for someone who hasn't heard it before." His voice remains calm, which somehow makes it more terrifying. "I want the human who killed one of our own." "We have laws-" "Your laws." The contempt is undisguised now. "Your laws that somehow always find humans innocent of crimes against wolves. Your laws that punish a wolf's defense of territory as aggression. Your laws that treat us as animals when it suits you and as criminals when it doesn't." This is the first book in the series, so please don't expect anything perfect just yet. It's a first draft and a work in progress :)

    I cradled him tenderly against my chest, his tears falling into the gentle folds of my kurta's neckline. "Nayan," I whispered. He only tightened his grasp on my waist, his silence speaking volumes. The thought of revealing my knowledge of his love, the woman who had long held my husband's heart, felt suffocating. But I remained silent, savoring the warmth of our first tender touch, our first embrace, as I held him to his vulnerability.
