Widowed at thirty-four, Kabir Rathore is a successful businessman, but a lost man at heart — a single father drowning in guilt, duty, and a past he can’t let go of. When his newborn twins needs stability and a mother, his conservative family urges him into an unusual solution: a marriage of convenience. Enter Shruti Roy — twenty-seven, quiet but resilient, reeling from her own heartbreaks, and fiercely protective of her independence. She agrees to the arrangement, not for love, but for the children who steal her heart the moment she steps into Kabir’s chaotic world. What begins as a practical decision slowly unfolds into something neither of them expects — laughter in shared silences, sparks under casual touches, and a home built from gentle moments. But ghosts of the past are not easy to bury. When jealousy strikes, old lovers reappear, and trust is tested by twisted intentions, Shruti and Kabir must ask the hardest question of all: Was this just an arrangement? Or the beginning of something real? ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀: 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 STANDALONE.

𐙚˙⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 I slept with a stranger in a dark bar room after one too many tequila shots and a very bad month. I didn’t even get his surname. Just his hands on my waist. His mouth against mine. And the way he looked at me like he already knew every ugly part of me and wanted me anyway. Then I woke up the next morning and realised the stranger was Rowan Mercer. My brother’s best friend. The same Rowan who ruined my teenage life when he rejected me at seventeen with a quiet, devastating: You’re too young, Bella. Now I’m twenty- four. He’s twenty-nine. Rowan still watches me too closely. Still gets angry when other men touch me. Still says my name like it means something dangerous. And worst of all? The more time we spend together, the more I realise he never looked at me the way a brother’s best friend should. He looks at me like he’s starving. 𐙚˙⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐒 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 6 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐩 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 "𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭." 𝐀𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𐙚˙⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐄𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓

Some love stories don’t end. They just pause. Six years ago, on the night of their graduation, Aira Kapoor vanished from Rihaan Malhotra’s life—leaving behind a shattered heart and no explanation. What he didn’t know was that she also lost her father that night… and carried a secret too heavy to share. Now, fate intervenes in the most unexpected way: Aira and Rihaan find themselves bound together again—by marriage. He’s colder, harder, and determined to hate the woman who once broke him. She’s still in love—and determined to win him back. As buried truths begin to surface and emotions reignite, Aira and Rihaan must face the past they tried to forget. Because some heartbreaks don’t fade—and some souls never stop belonging to each other. Love was never the problem. Timing was.

[ 𝗦𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗹 : 2 ] She wakes up with a blank slate, with no memory of the life before. But something feels off. Haunted by fragmented dreams and a nagging sense of unease, she can't shake the feeling that she's missing something vital. He watches from the shadows, a brooding enigma with eyes that hold both warmth and a dangerous edge. He knows her secrets, the life she's forgotten, the enemies that still hunt her. He's her nemesis, or so she believes. But his vow to protect her, even from herself, is unbreakable. When a ghost from the past resurfaces, shattering her carefully constructed reality, will she remember the love they shared? Or will the truth destroy them both? No, nothing will occur. He will not tolerate anything that harms her or her memories. He will create new memories for her and will rekindle her affection. Money. Power and Love - he would use anything to get what he wants. After all, he's never learned to lose. ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀 : 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 NOT A STANDALONE.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* [ 𝐒𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐋 1 ] Because this is where love fades and hate resides and intensifies, broken hearts produce the most tragic stories. Their treachery is told through their bleeding hearts: their unrequited love was never reciprocated. These stories only serve to devastate. Ruins have the ability to take lives, destroy people's hopes, and then bring comfort. In other people's ruin. But the question is, can you be happy and sane if your love forgets you for a night? Not at all, right? Ada Sharma is a courageous, fearless girl who has put up with her father's violence for years in order to protect someone she has never seen but believes is still alive. Vidyut Agarwal demonstrated vulnerability in real life. He believed that there is no such thing as love in this world, only lust. But she will make him reveal his feelings, proving him wrong. They've loathed each other for years, but destiny is pushing them to love and kiss in order to heal each other's scars. Either now, or never. But what if his hatred for her suddenly becomes his possession? Will she embrace him for who he is, or will something horrible happen to make her forget his existence?
