Two former best friends. Two forced marriages. One buried betrayal. Arjun makes a shocking move: he forcefully marries Vaayu Kapoor, Vihaan's younger brother a bold, bratty firecracker with a silver tongue and zero fear. In retaliation, Vihaan marries Arjun's younger brother Vansh a soft-spoken, innocent soul who's never known violence, only devotion. To the world, it's a brutal war of egos and vengeance. But behind closed doors? It's all part of a deadly game. Love. Power. Blood. In this world, the most dangerous bond... is the one written in revenge.

Callum Montgomery, the general's son, is a walking storm reckless, arrogant, and untouchable. No rule could contain him. No person could tame him. That is, until his father brings in a calm but sharp-tongued therapist named Elian, a man from a quiet, ordinary life far from the chaos of military power. Elian never expected his next client to be a spoiled brute with a punchable smirk and a temper as dangerous as his past. And Callum never expected a simple civilian to stand up to him to challenge him, resist him, and see right through the armor he's worn for years. What starts as fiery arguments and endless power struggles slowly turns into late-night conversations, stolen glances, and a tension that's harder to ignore with every passing day. They weren't supposed to feel anything. But love doesn't follow orders. A story of pride, power, and the unexpected softness of falling for the last person you'd ever expect.

Fine. I'll marry him. But I swear, I'll train that guy like a puppy. Sit. Speak. Die. and THEN dad smiles, Actually beta... that's the real problem. Your uncle doesn't have a son. He has... a daughter. WHAT THE ACTUAL-?! After Accidental Amore, I thought of writing another serial but this time it's Thai. Basically, a Thai lesbian drama with just a sprinkle of Indian masala.

When Max's parents go on vacation, he decides to spend the week with his best friend, Lilly, who also happens to be the sister of his long-time straight crush. Spending seven days with Lilly, Jake and his girlfriend during the summer break before college starts can't be that bad, right? 'Imagine falling in love with a straight guy. Well, that's exactly what I did. It's a story as old as time, and I'm trying my best to get over him, but the fact that his sister is my best friend doesn't help, along with his suspiciously odd girlfriend that keeps popping up at inconvenient times. We really are failing at crushing 101- falling for someone you can never have.' CONTENT WARNING: My characters enjoy cursing (thanks, Jake), and this story delves into darker topics such as mental health, issues faced by minority groups, includes violence and more.

'Because if it didn't mean anything... then why didn't he stop me?' - Cory Matthews knows Shawn Hunter better than anyone-or at least, he thought he did. When a secret kiss forces them to see each other in a completely different light, their lifelong friendship begins to shift into something deeper, something undeniable. Between laughter, jealousy, and the kind of closeness that feels a little too intense to ignore, Cory and Shawn must decide: is this just another phase... or the start of everything? - A boy meets world fanfic about the budding chemistry between Shawn Hunter and his 'buddy' Cory Matthews.

"Open the gates." My voice was raw. Firm. My silverly white wings still. Purity in tact. Or so it looked. If that were the case I won't be here. "Hell has rejected you." I tilted my head. Baffled by the mere audacity of the demon to speak to me like that. "I said... 'Open... the gates '." "Third choirmaster of the angelic order, you are too pure for hell. A black feather doesn't signify impurity. You cannot... enter the gates of hell." Too pure for hell... I starred at the huge black gates infront of me. Screaming corruption and demonic presence. No place for an angel. Yet they dare refuse to open them for me. As I don't attain the qualifications. So be it. I turn and walk away. Ten paces ahead, I stop. I turn to the demon that guarded the gate. The guardian of the gates. My eyes blazing golden. A promise. One I intend to keep. "You'll watch me walk through those gates... And you will say nothing. " __ ♤ She's the angel who is used to being above everyone. He's the sole heir of the infernal kingdom who is used to getting whatever he wants ♧ She follows a path carved by none else but herself.
