Day Thirteen
The lazy, golden light of a quiet Sunday morning spilled through the open archways of the Chet Singh Ghat residence. With the municipal archives closed and no corporate fires requiring immediate attention, the haveli was wrapped in a tranquil, secluded warmth.
It will be great if you can support my work.

To the ruthless corporate world, Aadhya Malhotra is the untouchable Chairman of a merged multi-billion-dollar monolith—a woman who brought the mighty Arjun Kapoor to his knees and claimed his empire. But behind the reinforced glass of their private penthouse, the war is over. Bound by a sacred mangalsutra, a ring she never removed, and a fiery, undeniable passion, Aadhya and Arjun have finally surrendered to the love they spent five years trying to destroy. Side by side, they step into the boardroom as an unstoppable force. But just as the dark storm of their past gives way to absolute devotion, a deadlier nightmare emerges from the shadows. Vikramaditya Singhania—the dangerous, obsessed billionaire who shielded Aadhya during her darkest years in London—has returned to claim what he believes is rightfully his. He doesn't want her empire; he wants her. And to force her back into his cage, he places a sniper's crosshair directly on the back of Arjun’s head. Faced with an invisible assassin and a psychological monster, Aadhya is forced into a desperate, silent war. To save the love of her life, she must step back into the dark without letting Arjun know—unaware that the husband she is trying to protect will burn the world to ashes before he lets anyone take his wife. "He gave her his empire. She gave him her soul. But to keep him alive, she must play a deadly game with a ghost."
A year after the fall of the Mehta and Raichand dynasties, the dust has settled—but the scars remain fresh. Having stripped herself of her wealth, her father's fallen legacy, and the billionaire name she wore like an iron chain, Ananya has vanished without a trace. Living as a simple archivist along the ancient ghats of Varanasi, she has rebuilt her life out of quiet routines, terracotta cotton saris, and the cold comfort of independence. No jewels, no fortune, no past. She owes nothing to the world she left behind—and she is waiting for no one. In Mumbai, Aarav Raichand sits atop his empty corporate empire, trapped in a victory that feels like absolute ruin. He got his justice. He buried his enemies. But the cost was the only light his dark world ever knew. Refusing to sign the divorce papers, Aarav carries her absence like a heavy sentence—wearing her mangalsutra wrapped around his wrist and her engagement ring against his heart. He hunted her for three hundred and sixty-five days. Now, the net is finally narrowing. When a man who takes everything is forced to search for the one thing he cannot buy, two world-weary souls are set on an inevitable collision course. But this time, vengeance is dead—and forgiveness may carry a price neither of them is ready to pay.

When He Became Her Favorite Mistake Inaya Mehra has one simple rule when it comes to blind dates: Survive them and never look back. So when her latest date turns into a painfully boring lecture about how a wife should behave, Inaya does the only thing that comes to mind. She points at a complete stranger walking into the café and calls out— “Hi, baby!” Except the stranger actually comes over. And instead of exposing her lie, he plays along. Aviren Raichand is everything Inaya should stay away from—powerful, intimidating, short-tempered, brutally straightforward, and absolutely impossible to read. He also happens to be the man who walks into her office the next morning as the company's new Managing Director. Their first meeting was an accident. Their second meeting is a nightmare. And their growing attraction? That definitely wasn't part of the plan. Aviren doesn't flirt. Not with anyone. But with Inaya, somehow, every rule disappears. He teases her. He provokes her. He finds excuses to be near her. And slowly, the man everyone fears becomes the one person who can't resist her sunshine. The problem? Inaya still thinks he's just having fun. Until the day Aviren stops pretending. Because the woman who once called him baby to escape a bad date… might just become the woman he wants to call his wife. One fake boyfriend. One unexpected office romance. One love neither of them saw coming.

Bound by obsession. Driven by power. Arjun built his empire from nothing and controls everything—except the intense, intoxicating addiction he has for Aadhya, the fierce and untouchable CEO of Malhotra Designs. When corporate rivals and hostile takeovers threaten to tear them apart, their fierce obsession with each other becomes their greatest weapon... and their most dangerous weakness. In a world of corporate chess, who is really controlling the game?
Brought together by a high-stakes, arranged union of Convenience and political power, Ananya Mehta walks into the grand, sterile penthouse of corporate titan Aarav Raichand believing she is stepping into a cold, forced marriage. But behind the floor-to-ceiling glass and sleek marble lies a lethal maze of secrets—and a steel-reinforced vault holding the dark truth of a tragedy from three years ago. When Aarav orchestrates a catastrophic public execution of her beloved father at an elite high-society gala, Ananya’s quiet world is torn to shreds. Her father is dragged away in chains, accused of complicity in the murder of Aarav’s sister, Aisha. To Aarav, Ananya is the daughter of a monster—a living bargaining chip in his ruthless crusade for justice. To Ananya, Aarav is a cold, tyrannical force determined to destroy an innocent man to satisfy his own bloody quest for revenge. Trapped between a horrific past and a dangerous present, Ananya vows to dig through the web of corporate lies to prove her father’s innocence. But as dark, long-buried truths begin to surface, both are forced to confront a terrifying reality: the war between their families started decades before either of them was born—and the shattering truth might cost them both their souls.
