The Home We Didn't Plan
Vaidehi Mehra had loved once… and lost more than she could bear. Betrayed by the man she trusted, tormented by a family that was supposed to care, she emerged from the wreckage with only one reason to keep going: her little daughter, Esha. At two and a half, Esha’s laughter, her tiny hands, and her unshakable innocence were all that kept Vaidehi’s heart from breaking entirely. She never thought she would stand on the edge of marriage again—not after everything she had endured. Yet here she is, standing opposite Vikram Khanna, a man she never chose, in a union born not of love, but of necessity. One careless photograph. One malicious rumor. And suddenly, her hard-earned dignity is questioned, her character dissected, and her daughter’s name dragged into headlines she never deserved. When the scandal spirals beyond office whispers and into public scrutiny, reputation becomes more than pride — it becomes survival. With her career at stake and Esha’s future hanging in the balance, a solution is offered. Simple. Strategic. Respectable. Marriage. A contractual arrangement meant to silence speculation and protect what matters most. Vikram Khanna is everything Vaidehi never wanted to depend on. Billionaire. Powerful. Imposing. A man shaped by solitude and discipline, who built his empire alone and never intended to share his life with anyone — least of all through an agreement signed for damage control. Yet somewhere between calculated decisions and carefully drawn boundaries stands Esha. Esha, with her innocent eyes and tiny hands, becomes the quiet bridge between two guarded hearts. But Vaidehi’s past wounds, Vikram’s emotional distance, and the weight of a marriage that was never meant to hold feelings threaten to keep them apart. Can something that begins as strategy become sanctuary? Can a home formed out of obligation slowly turn into belonging? A Home We Didn't Plan is a story of survival before love, of innocence that softens the coldest walls, and of two people who never meant to build a family — but might learn how to stay.

Under The Same Sky
One night. One mistake. One life-altering consequence. When Ira Kapoor, a girl born into wealth and perfection, wakes up to two pink lines and a blurry memory, her carefully curated world unravels. The father? Anirudh Sharma-a grounded, soft-spoken manager at an event firm, older than her by a few years and miles apart in lifestyle. Neither love nor even friendship ties them together. Only a moment of impulsiveness they never meant to share-and a child they never planned to create. Forced into a sudden marriage to preserve her family's honour, Ira finds herself in a modest home, far from the comforts of her past and with a man she barely knows. Her heart resists, her pride rebels. Middle-class life feels suffocating, and Anirudh's quiet existence is a world she doesn't understand. But beneath the surface of their mismatched lives is something unexpected-kindness that doesn't demand, patience that doesn't waver, and a slow-burning bond that begins to take root. As monsoon skies roll above and the seasons shift, so do their hearts. Love doesn't arrive in grand gestures-it seeps in gently, through shared cups of tea, silent understanding, and the quiet promises of two people learning to walk a path they never chose, but might just learn to call home. Under the Same Sky is a tender, evocative tale of accidental beginnings and unexpected love-where two strangers become partners, parents, and perhaps... soulmates. "They weren't a fairytale-but under the same sky, they learned how to write their own." ❤️

The Love She Stole
Nisha Deshpande always gets what she wants. Born with Bandra’s wealth and confidence, she never learned to lose—especially not to Aryan Patil. Her brother’s best friend. The quiet architect who never even noticed her. But desire has a way of turning desperate. And desperation makes people dangerous. One photograph. One threat. One marriage Aryan never wanted. He agreed—not out of love, but because refusing would cost him everything he’d worked for. His pride. His integrity. His freedom. What begins as a lie in a cold registry office quickly becomes a war of worlds colliding: vada pav versus sushi, chawl dreams versus penthouse privileges, resentment simmering under the same roof. Yet Mumbai doesn’t let you stay angry forever. Monsoon rains blur grudges. Accidental touches ignite something unspoken. Late-night confessions shake the walls Aryan built around himself. And slowly, Nisha begins to understand what love taken by force really costs. Because some marriages aren’t broken by lies… They’re rebuilt when hearts learn to fight for each other. Set against the chaos and glamour of Mumbai, ' THE LOVE SHE STOLE' is a story of obsession, audacity, and the fragile, dangerous path from possession to love.
