VIRAJ THAKUR

Love is not a weakness. It is a liability.

I learned that lesson early....watching emotions dismantle an empire piece by piece. I chose control instead. Precision. Silence. A life where nothing and no one could touch me deeply enough to destroy what generations before me built.

I believe in order. In contracts. In decisions that don't bleed.

Then one impulsive moment rewrote everything.

A Club. A reunion. A kiss that wasn't meant to happen. A camera that didn't blink. And suddenly, chaos had a name.

Avni Sharma.

She was supposed to be forgettable....the kind of girl the world overlooks. Soft-spoken. Nervous. Too sincere for her own good.

Instead, she became the only variable I couldn't eliminate.

The solution was logical.

A fake marriage. A controlled narrative. A temporary alliance designed to silence scandal before it reached my throne.

No promises.
No emotions.
No damage.
Or so I thought.

Because somewhere between shared lies and practiced smiles, her laughter started sounding like peace. Her presence....like something I had been missing long before she arrived.

I tell myself it's temporary. That when the contract ends, she will walk away, untouched, and I will return to the calm I built brick by brick.

But calm is fragile.

And the closer I get to her, the more I realize I am standing at the edge of the one risk I swore I would never take again.

My heart.

AVNI MALHOTRA

Love was supposed to be simple.

You like someone, they like you back....and maybe, for once, the world doesn't laugh at you for being too plain, too quiet, too... forgettable.

But I learned early that love doesn't work like that. Sometimes it leaves quietly....with unanswered messages, polite smiles, and the slow realization that you were never chosen.

I learned how to make myself small, how to be the girl people liked but never stayed for. Safe. Boring. Easy to overlook.

So when that kiss happened, it wasn't rebellion.

It was exhaustion.

One reckless moment where I wanted....just once....to feel wanted. To prove that I could be bold, even if it meant being foolish.

I didn't expect consequences.
I didn't expect cameras.
I didn't expect him.

Viraj Thakur

He walked into my life like a storm dressed as calm....tall, cold, terrifyingly out of my league, controlled in a way that made the world bend around him. A man who carried the weight of a kingdom without letting it show.

I was never meant to matter to someone like him. And yet, that one kiss became a mistake I couldn't undo.

One deal that tied my name to his.
My boss.
My husband....on paper.
My biggest complication.

He called it a contract. A solution. Nothing more.
A marriage built on lies, watched by the world, ending in silence. No love. No future.

Just a role I was expected to play... and then leave.

I told myself I could do it. That I was strong enough to be temporary. That being a queen for a while wouldn't cost me anything I hadn't already lost.

But nobody warns you how dangerous kindness can be.

How shared silences begin to feel like home.
How borrowed moments start feeling real.
How pretending slowly becomes believing.

Every time he looks at me with those unreadable eyes, I feel something I shouldn't.

Hope. Maybe I'm still the foolish girl who believes in love. Maybe he's still the man who doesn't.

But somewhere between pretending and protecting, we forgot which parts were lies.

And maybe...that's where the real danger began. Because when this ends—and it will end—I won't lose a crown.

I'll lose the one place where I finally felt seen.
