She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.

"Happy Married Life, Shivya Pathak" I weakly smiled seeing my condition, mangalsutra dangling in my neck, vermilion in hair and both hands filled with gold bangles. "Come out quickly or do you want me to break the gate," my husband knocked again. My breath was harsh, collecting some courage I spoke, "I will come out but you will not touch me again, otherwise I will kill myself" My throat clogged up, the last word refusing to come out. He didn't reply, just chuckled. I knew what it meant. He was going to push me further, to break me. "I will not be your puppet," I said, my voice barely a whisper. "I will not be your toy." ••••••••••••••••••• Two persons who belong to two different world Tied in unwanted marriage Will they continue this marriage for life or will they free each other from this name sake relationship?

A simple mistake by a rental agency turns 20-year-old Anika's dream of studying in Italy into an unexpected adventure. Believing she was moving into a house with two female roommates, the pampered princess from Punjab is horrified to discover her new home is shared with four intimidating, older male students. The leader is -a man so strict and dominant, his very aura commands fear and respect across the entire campus. To Anika, with her love for bunking classes, short dresses, and a cursed vocabulary, he is an infuriating obstacle to her fun. To him, she is a beautiful, reckless brat whose safety and well-being instantly become his sole responsibility. Glimpse: Anika tiptoes behind Vikram as he stirs something in a pan, her bare feet silent on the cold tiles. She's wearing one of her ridiculous frocks again - all ruffles and rebellion - and her hair is a wild halo from the breeze she let in earlier. She pokes his side. Not hard. Just enough. Anika (grinning): "Chef Rathore, do you take bribes in kisses?" He doesn't turn. Just pauses, lips twitching into that rare, reserved smile - the one no one else ever gets except her. Vikram (softly): "Only if they come with silence." She gasps, mock-offended, and pokes him again. He catches her wrist this time, gently, and presses a kiss to her knuckles without looking. The beginning few chapters might not appeal to everyone, and I'm completely okay with that. However, please don't leave negative comments based solely on the beginning. Give the book a chance and read it till the end. If you still feel that the book isn't good, you're absolutely free to share your honest opinion

Author's Note 🦋 ​Welcome to Promise: Her Last Wish. ​This is a flashback-based journey where the vibrant light of the past meets the silent shadows of the present. While Arunima is the eternal flame and heart of this story, Vaani serves as the healer-a side character and catalyst whose mission is to mend a broken man, not replace a lost soul. --- Main Characters🦋 ​Krushan Malhotra 🎤 ​Krushan is the Brooding Hero and the masked singer, "Theforeverguy." He is deeply cynical, heartbroken, and often rude due to the profound grief over Arunima's death. He is fiercely loyal, with his entire life dedicated to fulfilling Arunima's last wish, which forces him to live a life of painful self-sacrifice behind a mask. ​Arunima Thakur 🌻 ​Arunima is The Sunshine Girl, characterized by her cheerfulness, genuine kindness, and optimism. She was the light in Krushan's life and was courageous enough to stand up to societal pressure. Her selfless nature meant her final thought was not about herself, but about ensuring Krushan survived and achieved his dreams, making her the eternal driving force of the story. ​Vaani Sharma 🎧 ​Vaani is The Healer and The Flawed Heroine. She is shy and introverted, often struggling with a speech impediment. Despite this, she possesses immense inner courage, using her role as a fan to break through Krushan's shell. She is profoundly empathetic and selfless, accepting her role as a catalyst to heal Krushan emotionally so he can complete his promise to Arunima, even though it results in rejection. --- Tropes 🦋 ●​The Brooding Hero ●​Hidden Identity ●​The Star-Crossed Lovers ●​The Deceased Love Interest ●​Bound by a Promise ●​The Sunshine Girl (1st FML) ●​The Fan Girl and Flawed (2nd FML) ●​The Healer / The Catalyst ●​Forced Proximity ●​Second Chance ​Rejection ●​Tragic Ending ●​Fated Reunion ●Forbidden love
