    "Jab duniya se haar jao tab Ghar laut sakte hai, par jab ghar se haar jaaye tab kaha laute." ~ Vyomika Singhania "Jindagi bina family ke berang si hai.... Saare rang hi to unse hai." "Life is all about family and friends." ~ Shreyansh Malhotra She was born into betrayal. He was raised in belonging. She walked through fire with silence in her eyes. He carried sunshine in his laughter. One didn't know what peace felt like. The other was peace-until she became the peace in his chaos. She never believed in love. He never needed it. And yet, when their worlds collided, everything began to crumble... beautifully. This is not a tale of soulmates who found each other. It's a tale of two broken pieces that fit together-not because they were perfect, but because they chose to be. Vyomika, a woman carved by betrayal and loss, doesn't seek love-she seeks justice, vengeance, and answers. Shreyansh, the man who had everything-family, warmth, smiles-never expected to lose his calm to someone like her. But destiny doesn't knock. It storms in. In a world where blood ties lie and chosen families heal, this is a story of fierce loyalty, unexpected love, and silent strength. Of a woman who rose from ashes... and a man who learned to burn quietly beside her. Because sometimes, the people who ruin us... aren't the ones we fight. They're the ones we trusted. And sometimes, the ones who save us... Are strangers who never asked for a place in our story, But wrote themselves in anyway.

    She feared him more than anything-until he became the only place she felt safe. After escaping years of abuse, Lina found a fragile kind of peace scrubbing floors in a mercenary's mansion. Quiet, invisible, and broken, she kept her head down and her voice lower. Especially around him. Killian. He kills for a living. He is a powerful, cold-blooded mercenary, a wealthy man who built his empire off blood, fear. He owns a powerful private military company that operates in the shadows, answering only to the highest bidders. He commands killers, closes deals, and never makes mistakes. Until her. A glance. A flinch. A wound she tried to hide. And suddenly, he was watching her closely. Quietly. Like she was a puzzle he didn't mean to touch... but couldn't stop obsessing over. Killian: "You blush like that again, and I swear I'll pin you against this wall just to see how deep it goes." He didn't know how to be soft. She didn't know how to be wanted. But in a house full of violence, he saw her. And he started to change. And soon, she was everywhere in his mind.

    He was born royalty a tri-breed prince, the first of his kind. She was just a human girl with fire in her heart and no idea the supernatural world even existed. But the moment he found her, the bond snapped into place; wild, forbidden, and far too early. She couldn't remember. He could never forget. He watched from the shadows, hungered in silence, torn between the duty of a king and the pull of a mate the universe marked for him. She grew up not knowing he'd already chosen her. But the heat between them only smoldered, scorching beneath every stolen glance, every gift left without a name, every moment she didn't understand and every one he couldn't stop himself from creating. Because some bonds don't wait. And love like theirs? It burns before it blooms.

    A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 21 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Age Gap (21 × 28) • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen.
