A stern father compels Zarrar, 29-year-old surgeon into an arranged marriage with Hana, a 22-year-old student living in London. _________ "Where are you going?" she asked, flat. "Research trip." He tossed a shirt in, didn't look up. "And you're telling me this now?" "It was sudden." She made a noise somewhere between a tut and a laugh. "I do not care. You know what-" She stepped onto the couch, two quick climbs-herself at 5'4" suddenly level with his eyes, all heat and vowels. Here it is. The tongue was indeed ten feet long tonight. He stayed silent, left packing, arms folded over his chest and just stared. Hana doing her job, utterly, with whole rights over him to shout. "There won't be anything for me to be surprised if I wake up someday in the graveyard with mud sprayed over me 'cause my dear husband must have gotten too exasperated by my being, that he- the victim, had to bury me alive while I was asleep." Zarrar swallowed a smile, let her finish, then moved. He stepped in, hands light on her waist, lifted-she squawked, all outrage-then held her over his shoulder as he walked the three strides to the bed. She behaved as if someone unplugged her, forgot how to speak. He set her gently at the edge of the mattress and went down on one knee in front of her, floorboards cool under him. "What do you want me to say now?" "Are you actually asking me this?" Her voice wobbled, anger running out of fuel. "Yeah," he said, and he was smirking now, fond and infuriating. "Any last wishes of my wife before I bury her alive." ________ dive into the story of something very different from soap operas. TROOP ~ choas x cold yapper x listener age gap. doctor's divine

Arjun Gaekwad is jobless, probably useless according to his dadi, and desperately needs a job. What he doesn't need is a terrifying CEO, a Doberman that looks ready to chew him alive, and coworkers who are convinced he won't survive for a week. Unfortunately, fate seems to enjoy watching him suffer. Avantika Deshmukh built her empire from nothing. Powerful, feared, and impossible to understand, she has no time for love, nonsense, or emotions. Then Arjun crash-lands into her life as her personal assistant. A man who talks too much, thinks too little, cracks jokes at the worst possible moments, and possesses absolutely zero survival skills somehow manages to annoy her every single day. This is not a story about an alpha male saving an innocent princess. It's a story about a dangerous woman, a ridiculous man, and the beautiful disaster that happens when their worlds collide.

The groom ran. The bride stayed. Now they're stuck in a shaadi no one saw coming. 𝐅α𝗄𝖾 ꭑα𝗋𝗋𝗂α𝗀𝖾. 𝐑𝖾αᥣ ᑯ𝗋αꭑα. Mr. & Mrs. Birla are back... but only on paper. "𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞, 𝐰𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝," he says, gritting his teeth. "𝐓𝐫𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐠𝐨," she replies. This shaadi was never about love - it was about damage control. But hearts weren't supposed to be involved. Tashan-e-Shaadi is a rollercoaster of tashan, trauma, and tension, where an Ice Queen meets an Angry King, and pretending not to care becomes the hardest act of all.
