She was the little menace who somehow always found a way to disrupt his carefully ordered world, and he was certain he didn't even like her. Years later, fate forced them into a marriage neither of them wanted, binding them under the same roof despite the distance that had grown between them. But she is no longer the loud, carefree girl he remembers. Life took everything from her, including her laughter, her innocence, and her parents, leaving behind a quiet woman who hides her pain behind a calm smile. Before their marriage, he made one thing clear: "Don't expect love from me." So she didn't. As they begin sharing a life together, he slowly starts seeing her differently, noticing the sadness she conceals and the strength she carries. Yet one question remains: if he remembers her so well, why doesn't she even know his name? A story of heartbreak, healing, and unexpected love, where old irritation gives way to feelings neither of them ever imagined. ×××× Tropes: Grumpy × Sunshine | Marriage of Convenience | Forced Proximity | No Cheating | She fell first (or so she thinks) × He fell harder and harder..

Vamika Raizada had once believed that blood meant forever. She was the cherished daughter of a powerful family, the sister her brothers swore they would always protect, and the girl who thought home was the one place she could never lose. Until one night changed everything. An accusation. A betrayal. A family that chose evidence over the daughter they claimed to love. By the time Vamika walked out of the Raizada mansion, bruised, broken, and disowned, she had learned one truth the hardest way possible- Love with conditions was never love at all. Years later, Vamika returns as a woman the world fears and respects. No longer the girl who begged to be believed, she is now one of the most ruthless names in corporate acquisitions, powerful enough to hold the fate of the Raizada empire in her hands. And this time, they need her. But revenge is not the only complication waiting for Vamika. There is Rishaan Oberoi-her infuriating professional rival, the one man who refuses to fear her, fix her, or let her win easily. Then there are the Oberois: a family she never asked for, yet somehow begins to call her own. As buried truths rise and old wounds reopen, the Raizadas want forgiveness. Vamika wants something else. Freedom. Because some families are inherited. Some are chosen. And some daughters were never meant to be claimed.

[ONGOING - POSTING EVERY FRIDAY] The world is too loud, too bright, and far too crowded. For years, I've hidden behind thick white silks and the safety of my marigolds, speaking to the petals in my mind because words always feel like jagged rocks in my throat. In the Meadow Pack, I am the quiet one, a girl of shadows and soil, waiting for a Mating Ceremony I never wanted. Then the forest breathed, and he stepped out of the willow trees. He wasn't like the others. He didn't smell of heavy perfumes or forced grace. He smelled of crushed mint and the deep, solid scent of a forest after a storm. He was a mountain of black fur and scars, a beast the stories warned me about, the Alpha of Stormridge. They call him a monster. They say his heart is as dark as the ink on his skin. But when our eyes locked, the noise in my head finally went silent. For the first time, I didn't want to hide. He is the storm to my sunlight, the growl to my silence. He doesn't know how to be gentle, and I don't know how to live in his loud, violent world. But the moon doesn't make mistakes, and my blood hums a song only he can hear. The wolf with the scarred eye has found me. And for the first time, I think I'm ready to let the silk fall.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING ❤️ This story is currently marked Complete, but please note that the latter half of the story is a temporary/current version. After my exams, I will be rewriting the second half of the story, including the redemption arc, because I feel that some emotions, character development and the deeper message I wanted to convey were not expressed strongly enough through my writing. The current version will remain available for now, so new readers are welcome to read it as it is. ❤️ The rewritten version will have stronger emotional depth, more developed character growth, and a more gradual and clearly earned redemption, so that the storyline and its intended message are conveyed better. Please keep this in mind before starting the story. ❤️ Thank you for reading and supporting my work. 🫶🏻 ..................

But when the truth finally comes out, regrets arrive too late. Choosing herself for the first time, Anushree returns to the family she left behind, taking her son with her. Now Rajveer Shekhawat, a powerful CEO haunted by his actions, must fight for the forgiveness of the woman he broke and the family he never deserved.

"They didn't stop loving her... They just stopped believing her." Ruhanika Rajvansh-Ruhi-wasn't just the only sister of the Rajvansh brothers; she was their heartbeat, their happiness, and the little princess they had once sworn to protect forever. Until one lie changed everything. At the age of twelve, Ruhi was accused of a mistake she never committed. The five brothers who had once promised to stand beside her chose silence over trust and punishment over love. Without listening to her, they sent her away, believing they were teaching their stubborn little sister a lesson. But they never realized... They weren't sending away a mistake. They were leaving behind the soul of their family. Ten years later, the innocent little girl is gone. In her place stands Ruhanika Rajvansh-a world-renowned fashion designer, the CEO of a global fashion empire, and a woman who has built a life without the people who once meant everything to her. When destiny brings the Rajvansh family back into her life, the truth they buried for years finally comes to light. She was innocent. Now, the brothers who once let her go are willing to sacrifice everything to bring their sister home. But what if "home" no longer exists for her? What if someone else has already become her family? And what if the only person who can reach the broken pieces of her heart is the man who lovingly calls her... "Rooh." A heart-wrenching story of unconditional love, shattered trust, unbearable regret, healing, and second chances-where some promises are broken, some bonds are tested, and some scars never truly fade.

He was a duke feared by kingdoms, a man who could command armies with a glance and silence an entire court with a single word. But when his wife died, he became nothing more than a grieving man behind a locked door. And his daughter became the child he could not bear to look at. At three years old, she learned that grief could be colder than winter. At four, she learned how to stop crying where no one could hear her. At five, she learned that even if her father never opened the door, she would still wait outside it. Then one day, he finally did. What begins as a story of neglect becomes one of impossible devotion-of a father who learns too late how to love his daughter, and spends the rest of his life loving her enough to make up for the years he stole from her. He becomes absurdly overprotective. She becomes the center of his world. And together, they build a life filled with too much affection, too many arguments, and the kind of love that survives even grief. But love does not stop loss. Soon Elara's world, her daddy got ill, she was loosing him and was helpless against fate...... A tender fantasy about grief, healing, family, and second chances-woven with warmth, quiet humor, and the kind of love that finds its way back, even after death.

Born beneath the same tide, Tsireya was cherished by the sea, while her twin sister, Gianna, was feared by it. With her pale skin and white hair, Gianna was ignored and rejected by the Metkayina as a child, seen as an omen rather than a person. When she befriends Lo'ak Sully, the two form a bond based on mutual neglect and a quiet understanding. But love becomes forbidden, jealousy fractures families and superstition turns cruel. Exile, war and sacrifice follow. Started: 01/17/2026 Ended:? Disclaimer I do not own Avatar, Avatar: The Way of Water, or any of the canon characters featured in this story.

💕💖A story that proves... love never arrives late. It arrives exactly when the heart is ready. Some women dream of becoming brides. Indira Kumar dreamed of becoming a mother. At twenty-three, she chose to raise her orphaned nephew as her own son, sacrificing the life she could have had without ever looking back. Thirteen years turned into eighteen, and somewhere along the way, she forgot that behind the word Amma was still a woman with a heart capable of being loved. Now thirty-six, plus-sized, soft-spoken, and hiding her insecurities behind warm smiles and graceful sarees, Indira believes love simply isn't written in her destiny. Until one Sunday morning... A cricket match. One accidental hand gripping a stranger's leg. One whistle she innocently demands from the man sitting beside her. One dimpled smile that shatters the walls around a billionaire's guarded heart. Vijay Varma buried his heart with his wife a decade ago. He never imagined that the woman who would teach him to live again would be the one who never believed she deserved love. As one son quietly becomes Cupid for his mother's happiness, two lonely hearts discover that sometimes... The greatest love stories don't begin in your youth. They begin when you've almost stopped believing in them.

"Sometimes, one lie is enough to destroy an entire lifetime of love." For one year, Ishaan Mehra believed he had found his forever. An arranged marriage brought him to the cold and intimidating CEO, Rudransh Rajvanshi. To the world, Rudransh was untouchable. But behind closed doors, he was gentle, patient, and impossibly caring. Slowly, Ishaan fell deeply in love with the man he called his husband. Then, on the happiest night of his life, everything shattered. With a positive pregnancy test hidden in his hand, Ishaan was ready to surprise Rudransh with the news that they were going to become parents. Instead... He overheard the words that broke him. "Ishaan was just a part-time interest. I never loved him. I'll divorce him soon." Without asking for an explanation, Ishaan quietly disappeared. Leaving behind only a signed divorce paper... and a broken heart. Five years later, in the heart of London, Ishaan has built a peaceful life with the little boy who means everything to him. Aarav. The son who calls him Papa. The son whose Daddy has no idea he exists. But Rudransh never stopped searching. A ruthless mafia king. A powerful CEO. A man drowning in regret. When fate finally brings them face to face again, Rudransh realizes he didn't just lose the love of his life... He lost five precious years with the family he never knew he had. Can a broken heart learn to trust again? Can one truth erase five years of pain? Or are some regrets too heavy to be forgiven? A story of love, heartbreak, family, redemption, and a second chance worth fighting for. "He broke their forever with one lie... now he'll spend a lifetime earning it back." ❤️

Taken from her family at the age of four, because of a deep grudge, Aria doesn't remember the place she used to call home. All she knows now, is silence and pain. All she has is her broken self, and the hope of being free one day. She's been called a curse, and she's been called worse- to the point where Aria doesn't know what is true or not. She'll never escape the hell she's in, she'll never have a home or a family, right? *Sneak peek* Aria: "Where the hell are you?!" I wake up with a jerk on the cold floor of the kitchen's store. The rope that he used to keep me there when his friends were over, bit into my skin, and was now stained with red. He had forgotten. Again. But that was a good thing, because it means I didn't get beatings last night. I tired to move, but the pain from my ankle was sending vibrations to my brain, and I winced, my back hitting the wall hard. I closed my eyes, praying he won't find me- but luck is never on my side. He opens the door, and smirks as he looks down at me. His eyes were clear, he wasn't drunk. That was bad. He made it more painful when he wasn't. He undid the rope, and dragged me by the hair, into the kitchen. "You little bitch. Growing wings now, are we?" He threw me on the floor and kicked my ribs. Pain flared through me, but I shut my eyes tight. Don't make a sound. "Make me my damn breakfast right now. And I want it prepared next time or else." I nod my head, and get to my feet. But he dragged me towards him by the neck, my back to his front. His hand went under my shirt, the threat hanging in the air, and I squeezed my eyes shut. "Do you hear me?" I nod. His hand went up to my chest, and I swallowed the nausea rising up in me. "Yes who?" "Yes Daddy." I choked out. Then he pushed me towards the stove and walked out.

At fifteen... she was light. Niharika Rathore was the kind of girl who made rooms softer just by entering them. A sunshine soul wrapped in innocence. She laughed too easily, trusted too quickly, and loved her mother more than anything in the world. Her eyes-almond-shaped, deep, observant-held warmth. Her smile could melt silence. Chubby cheeks like cotton candy... a face everyone remembered. But some stories don't stay soft. Because in one night... everything changed. The man her mother trusted... the man who was supposed to become her stepfather... became the reason her world cracked open. Nothing loud. Nothing spoken. Just a line crossed that should have never been crossed. And after that night... Niharika was never the same. --- At seventeen... she is still alive. But the sunshine is gone. Her smile doesn't reach her eyes anymore. Her gaze avoids people, like the world itself became unsafe. Quiet. Careful. Guarded. She no longer trusts light. She only trusts shadows. Then fate turns again. Her mother slips into a coma. And suddenly... there is no place left for her. A maternal grandfather she barely knows sends her away-far from everything she called home. But before she can leave... another truth arrives like a storm. A father she never truly knew. A name whispered in fear. A mafia king. And he wants her back. Not as a guest. Not as a choice. As his daughter. --- But Niharika has already learned one thing the hard way: Men break things. Even the ones who are supposed to protect you. Now she is taken into a world she never imagined- A house filled with power... silence... and eight brothers who see her as an outsider. No women. No softness. No familiarity. Only rules. Distance. Watchful eyes. And a girl who is terrified of men... being forced to live surrounded by them.

Before I Let Go (Aria) Aria wanted to be a dentist. That was it, that was the whole plan - her own clinic one day, her own name on the door. Then Arjun came along, and for a while it felt like he actually got that about her. Like he wanted it for her too. It didn't happen all at once. First she skipped a study session because he needed her. Then a scholarship deadline passed and she barely noticed. Somewhere in there, the version of her life she used to picture just... stopped coming to mind. She kept loving him anyway. Kept telling herself it would go back to how it was. Then one day she looked at herself and didn't recognize what was left.

After being rejected by her husband and Alpha in front of half the werewolf world, Allison does the only thing left that makes sense- she walks away. Heartbroken but unbowed, she rebuilds from the ground up, turning her experience as a Luna into something new: Luna's Compass, a consultancy that fixes the messes other packs are too proud to admit they made. No attachments. No politics. No pity. But fate has a sense of humor. Her newest client, Gordon Hale, is a widowed Alpha raising three daughters and holding his pack together by sheer will. What starts as a six-month contract becomes something far more complicated- professionally, politically, and painfully personal. Between grief, politics, and the slow burn of something she swore she'd never feel again, Allison must learn that fate isn't about who you're tied to - It's about who you become when the bond breaks.

Elena Moroni has spent her whole life surviving in silence. Silence kept her safe. Silence kept her alive. Bruises fade, but words spoken to the wrong person in a cruel home never do. So she learned not to speak at all. Not when her father yelled. Not when he hurt her. Not even when she wanted to cry. Then one night, everything goes wrong. A debt her father owes drags Elena into a world she has only heard about in whispers - blood-stained money, ruthless men, and the name everyone fears to say too loudly: Dante Russo. Dante is not a man people survive twice. Cold-eyed, merciless, obsessed with control, he rules the Italian mafia like a king built from violence. Men fear him. Women avoid him. Enemies disappear because of him. So when Elena is thrown at his feet as payment for her father's betrayal, Dante expects fear. What he doesn't expect... is silence. No begging. No screaming. No lies. Just a broken girl with terrified eyes that somehow still look at him like she's waiting for permission to breathe. Elena is pulled deeper into a dangerous world of obsession, violence, power, and a love so consuming it could either save her... or destroy them both
