Not her words - her silences. Not what she wanted - what she gave up. The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest. And the girl who never expected anything... is the reason he's learning how to give everything. •••••••••••••••• "Why do you always notice the things I don't say?" He looked at her for a long second. "Because you never ask. And I've never wanted to give anyone more." •••••••••••••••• Tropes: Slow-burn romance | Arranged marriage | Contemporary drama | Indian diaspora | Urban luxury + emotional intimacy | Cold ML x Soft FL | Changing for her

Aahanvir Singh Rathore, the heir to the Rathore Empire contrast, was everything she was not: wealthy, proud, and cold, his heart hardened by betrayal years earlier. Though their families were bound by long friendship, Aahanvir had never hidden his disdain for Sia, and she had never expected anything from him. All eyes, instead, were on Pankhuri Singhania, the beautiful, lively youngest and outgoing daughter of the Singhanias. When Aahanvir's marriage was arranged with her, it seemed a perfect match, one that would strengthen both family ties and business empires. But on the day of the wedding, Pankhuri chose love over duty and ran away, leaving behind scandal and broken pride. In that single moment, Sia's life was transformed. To preserve honor, she was thrust into the place Pankhuri abandoned-married to a man who despised her. For Sia, it was the end of her quiet world, For Aahanvir, another cruel twist of fate. Thus their story began.....a marriage forged in resentment, bound by duty, and destined to test both hearts in ways neither imagined.

SYNOPSIS Angelique Sevilla is a 25-year-old receptionist at Casa Villa, the modest hotel owned by her gambling-addicted father. Her days are spent juggling work and hospital visits to care for her critically ill mother. To Angelique, life is dull, exhausting, and painfully predictable-until her father's recklessness shatters it completely. After losing a massive sum of money to a powerful business tycoon, Angelique's father makes an unforgivable decision: he offers his own daughter as payment for his debt. Geovan Beaumont is power in human form. At twenty-eight, he stands at the peak of the business world, owner of Eovan Companies, ruler of hotels and malls across the country and beyond. Wealth, influence, and control are second nature to him. Marriage, love, and emotions are weaknesses he has long discarded. But when a man indebted to him offers his daughter as a payment, he needed to make a decision. A debt. A daughter. A contract disguised as marriage. Join Angelique and Geovan's journey as they enter a loveless marriage. Their marriage is built on rules-no feelings, no expectations, no love. Angelique is meant to be nothing more than a name beside his, a debt settled. But as they're forced to share a life neither of them chose, lines begin to blur and walls start to crumble.

Princess Maella Targaryen, eldest daughter of Crown Prince Baelor, arrives at a grand tourney beside her father with the practiced poise of a woman raised beneath banners and expectation. Yet the lists awaken more than courtly duties. Among the crowd she encounters Lyonel Baratheon, the man she loved winters ago, whose laughter and stubborn warmth stir feelings she had carefully buried beneath silk and silence. Their reunion is tender and dangerous-haunted by time, pride, and the knowledge that love once lost is never simple when found again. As Maella navigates the bright chaos of the tourney, she finds herself pulled in another direction by her cousin Aerion, whose sharp devotion and possessive affection promise protection and peril in equal measure. Aerion's interest flatters the court and threatens to confine her, offering certainty at the cost of breath. Between Lyonel's familiar fire and Aerion's consuming regard, Maella stands at the center of a quiet storm, torn between the past that shaped her and the future being chosen for her. It is then that she meets Ser Dunk, a hedge knight of plain speech and unassuming honor, whose presence cuts through the glitter and intrigue like clean air. Dunk does not court her favor nor fear her name; he speaks to her as a person rather than a prize. Through him, Maella glimpses a wider world-one not ruled solely by bloodlines and bargains, but by kindness, courage, and choice. The tourney becomes a turning point, not for crowns or victories, but for Maella herself, as she begins to understand that love, like loyalty, may take many forms-and that the truest freedom lies in seeing the world as it is, and deciding who she wishes to be within it.
