Doors once sealed shut opened: an education, stability, and a chance at the life he had always dreamed of. But one door remained locked. His heart. Because the girl he could never get, the girl who unknowingly saved him in return, was his benefactor's daughter. Sophia was beautiful, kind, and utterly out of reach. Years passed, yet his feelings refused to fade.

Or will the ghosts of his past drown him before he can ever claim it?

(Unedited version) In Atlanta, heartbreak is big business-and Mr. Valentine is its most discreet solution. By day, he's a wildly successful image and rebrand consultant, hired to help people step into their next era. By night, he's a carefully kept secret on a women's platform for the jilted: a hired rebound man who helps women glow back up, reclaim their presence, and remind cheating exes exactly what they lost. It works every time. The women are seen again. The exes come crawling back. And Mr. Valentine disappears-paid, praised, and alone. He calls it professionalism. He never calls it loneliness. Then he meets her. Recently divorced from a cruel, controlling husband, she isn't looking for revenge-just clarity. As Mr. Valentine prepares to play his usual role, he starts uncovering truths about her marriage she never fully saw...and truths about himself he's spent years avoiding. The more she finds her voice, the harder it becomes for him to perform. For the first time, the glow-up isn't about being seen by an ex. It's about being seen by each other. And when the contract ends, Mr. Valentine has to decide if he'll do what he's always done-vanish-or finally stay long enough to be chosen. Because sometimes the greatest comeback isn't making someone jealous... it's realizing who was wrong for you all along.

She didn't leave her home country to fall in love. She left to become undeniable. When Elara Vale arrives in Paris to resurrect a declining couture house, she expects resistance. What she doesn't expect is Dorian Hale; the calculating investor who studies her like a liability instead of an asset. He questions her strategy. She dismantles his doubts. He tests her resilience. She refuses to fracture. But when a quiet scandal threatens her credibility, forced proximity turns dangerous. Silence lingers too long. Boundaries blur. And the man who measured her strength becomes the one she can't afford to misread. Elara didn't cross continents to become smaller in someone else's orbit. If she chooses love this time, it will not be out of need. It will be intentional.

After a painful betrayal, Elara is trying to put her life back together. New friendships appear, old secrets return, and she slowly learns that blooming again doesn't mean going back to who she was - it means becoming stronger.

Karan, the world-famous rapper, is (in his own words) "suffering from success." The spotlight doesn't just follow him-it feels like it's actively attacking his eyeballs. His solution?

He came for better vision, but the real shock is seeing the truth she reflects back at him. She fell first, recognizing the man hiding from the fame. But he's falling harder, ready to trade the screaming crowds for the quiet sound of her voice. Now, they have to face a very noisy problem: the rest of the world. Can this mismatched pair choose a silent, impossible love, or will the spotlight blind them for good? Update on every Saturday/Sunday's

Riya Sharma has loved Kabir Khanna for years. Quietly. Silently. From the sidelines. He's her brother's best friend. The school's golden boy. The one every girl wants. To him, she's just the nerdy little sister in simple kurtis and a long braided hair - never the girl he'd choose. Until she overhears the truth. "I'd marry someone confident. Modern. Stylish." And she realizes... she was never his type. So she leaves. And she grows. Three years later, Riya returns - confident, unafraid, and no longer looking at Kabir like he's her whole world. And for the first time... Kabir notices. But what happens when the girl who once loved you quietly... stops?

Jessie has loved Warren since she was sixteen. Eight years. One flat. Too many apologies. And a version of herself that got smaller every year. She finally leaves. New city. New job. New people who don't know who she used to be. Then Warren's mum gets diagnosed with terminal cancer. Now he's calling at midnight. Saying he misses her. Saying he's changed. Saying he still loves her. And Jessie? She's not heartless. She's just not sure she loves him the same way anymore. Because there's also Max. A grounded pilot with secrets, grief he doesn't talk about, and a way of looking at her like she isn't something to manage. He doesn't need fixing. He doesn't need saving. He just sees her. But healing isn't linear. Grief blurs lines. History has weight. And sometimes you kiss someone you thought you'd outgrown. This is the year Jessie stops shrinking. The year she chooses herself. The year she realises love should feel steady... not like survival. The year that changed her.

I once told someone, in my best Devdas voice and with the utmost seriousness, "One day I'll write a book for you before I die." She looked at me, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Write it in a language I can read. Otherwise, I'll come kick your grave. Kameene, yeh kya likh ke mar gaya? Mujhe bhi padhni thi." (You scoundrel, what is this nonsense you wrote and then went and died? I wanted to read it too!) That should give you an idea about the heart of this story. Set in the 2010s Canada, between chai and snow, this is the story of Alizey and Zayan. Zayan didn't believe in marriage. Alizey believed it was sacred. He thought love was like mist, meant to be felt, not seen. She thought he sounded like an overdramatic Victorian novel. They didn't marry for romance. They married for a plan. The arrangement was simple. The feelings were not. What began as a practical agreement, two adults negotiating boundaries, rent, and kitchen duties, slowly turned into something far more unstoppable. Because love, when it finally arrives, doesn't knock politely. It walks in silently and stays. This is a story about marriage before love. Trust before desire. Surrender before confession. And the confounding realisation that sometimes, you don't choose your life partner. You just discover you already have.

Betsi Ball arrives on her first day of clinical placement with no clear plan - only the certainty that she wants to matter. Hospitals run on hierarchy, speed, and decisions that can't be undone. Students watch. Doctors perform. The ones who hesitate are forgotten. Nathan Cole does not forget anything. He is controlled, exacting, and widely considered the best trauma surgeon in the country. Betsi doesn't know his reputation at first - only that he is strict, impossible to impress, and unsettlingly attentive to mistakes. Then he starts noticing her. As rotations blur together and pressure replaces certainty, Betsi finds herself pulled toward a version of medicine she never planned - one built on instinct, endurance, and proximity to people who refuse to look away. Outside the hospital, Jamie offers something different: steadiness, warmth, the space to exist without being measured. Inside it, Nathan represents the opposite - intensity, expectation, and a connection that feels less like choice and more like inevitability. Because sometimes you don't choose your path. Sometimes the environment chooses you. And sometimes the people closest to you shape who you become before you realise it's happening. Proximity is a powerful medical drama about ambition, restraint, and the quiet moments that change the direction of a life.

*New Chapter on Friday* Lily has spent eighteen years playing the "safe" little sister, tucked away in the shadows of her brother and his dangerously bossy best friend, Jacob. While Lily plays it cool, her unfiltered inner voice, Liby, is busy cataloging every lingering stare and charged silence that proves they are anything but platonic. When the boundaries of childhood finally crumble, the secrets hidden in a leather-bound notebook and the heat of a single night change the rules of the game forever. Now, Lily must choose between the comfort of the past and a high-stakes future where all she wants-finally-is to be seen.

There's a time to be seen, and a time to be protected. Sugar and Spice is a slow-burn romance about love that arrives quietly and asks to be chosen carefully.

Alongside them, friendships shift, secrets soften, and everyone learns that love doesn't always need to be loud to be real.
