"He doesn't say 'I love you.' But he changed in all the ways that yelled it."
••••••••••••••
Vaani Joshi never expected love from her arranged marriage - just respect, maybe some space, and silence she could live with.
Dhruv Deshmukh was exactly that: powerful, unreadable, and cold.
He didn't ask her what she liked. He didn't ask how her day was.
And she never asked for anything.
But then he started noticing.
Not her words - her silences.
Not what she wanted - what she gave up.
The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest.
And the girl who never expected anything...
is the reason he's learning how to give everything.
••••••••••••••••
"Why do you always notice the things I don't say?"
He looked at her for a long second.
"Because you never ask. And I've never wanted to give anyone more."

Their interactions start subtly, with stolen glances and unspoken emotions lingering between them. As their worlds intertwine in the corridors of their medical college, Mishri finds herself captivated by Dev's silent yet profound presence. But Dev isn't someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. His love language is unspoken gestures-pulling out a chair for her, brushing his fingers against hers, and always being there in ways that Mishri slowly begins to notice. With every interaction, the attraction deepens, and emotions grow stronger, yet neither of them confesses. But love isn't easy. With Dev's father determined to separate them and challenges that test their bond, Mishri and Dev must decide-will their love withstand the storm, or will their story end in heartbreak? Dilakshi is a slow-burn, deeply emotional romance that explores love through silent gestures, longing gazes, and the pain of unspoken words-until love finally demands to be acknowledged. • • #1 "collegestories" out of 6.826k stories #20 "nerd" out of 31.6K stories #273 "teenromace' out of 118K stories #90 "teenlove" out of 37.2K storComplete
Whisper's of destiny
🌌 Whisper's of Destiny 🌌 By @ashii_verse 🖤 "Some stories aren't meant to be told. They're meant to bleed through silence... and leave scars where no one sees." --- Avni. Soft. Subtle. Almost invisible to the world. But beneath her quiet grace lies a storm she's too afraid to name. She doesn't raise her voice. She doesn't ask for more. She simply exists - until he sees her. The man no one dares to look in the eye... yet she meets his gaze with trembling honesty. Rajveer. Sharp mind. Cold presence. A man who speaks less and controls more. He doesn't crave love. He craves silence, control, and order. But there's something about her - the way she lowers her eyes when he speaks, the way her fear doesn't hide her truth - that draws him in like a storm waiting to be unleashed. --- ❝ You look at me like I'm human, Avni... ❞ ❝ But I've spent my whole life making sure I'm not. ❞ ❝ And still... ❞ ❝ You make me want to be yours. ❞ --- This is not a love story. This is restraint and desire at war. A girl too soft for his world. A man too dangerous for hers. And a fate that ties them together - not gently, but violently. He doesn't know how to love. She doesn't know how to leave. And somewhere in the silence between them, something begins to burn... slowly, darkly, beautifully. ✨ Whisper's of Destiny - a haunting slow-burn of longing, power, and a love so quiet... it leaves nothing untouched. ---Complete

She has never bowed her head. And she never planned to start. Avyansh Singh Rathore is control personified... calm, calculating, untouchable. A man who doesn't argue. He decides. And when he decides to marry her, it wasn't a proposal... It's a command. A marriage forced by his will. Protested by her fury. What begins as defiance turns into a battlefield of pride... sharp words, colder silences, and a tension neither of them can ignore. To her, it's a cage she refuses to belong in. To him, it's a bond he refuses to break. But the real question isn't why he married her. It's what he knows... that she doesn't. Because sometimes, the calmest men hide the most dangerous secrets. This isn't a soft love story. It's a battlefield of hearts, a collision of souls... and a storm trying to outrun the only man steady enough to stand in it. ❥˙ [ 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 2 ~ 𝐢𝐧 "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐠𝐚" 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 ] ˙❥˙ 𝐀𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐜𝐨𝐦.
Baddie Fell for the Good Boy
Prapti was the kind of girl everyone called a "baddie" confident, beautiful, bold, and always surrounded by attention. But behind her perfect image was a girl completely unlucky in love. Every relationship she had ever been in ended with cheating, lies, and heartbreak, until she finally stopped believing in love altogether. Then came Yuvraj. Quiet, nerdy, awkward, and the complete opposite of her world. What Prapti didn't know was that Yuvraj had been her one-sided lover for years, loving her silently from afar without expecting anything in return. Their story began with a fake relationship. Prapti needed a boyfriend to get rid of her toxic ex, and Yuvraj agreed instantly, even knowing his feelings for her were real. At first, everything between them was just an act...fake dates, fake texts, fake smiles for the world. But slowly, things changed. The more time they spent together, the more Prapti realized Yuvraj loved her differently. Gently. Purely. He listened to her, stayed during her worst moments, and cared for her in ways nobody else ever had. For the first time, love felt safe instead of painful. And somewhere between pretending and healing, their fake relationship became real. While teaching Prapti what true love looked like, he was silently fighting the hardest battle of his own life. When she found out, her world shattered. Because the boy she once treated as temporary had become the only person who ever loved her sincerely. Yuvraj showed her that real love is not about grand promises....it's about staying, caring, and loving someone even when life is falling apart.

"why the fuck did you go on a date with him? he is not even your type!!" he growls. "so what? he is friendly and nice to me" I replied confidently. "NO, HE IS NOT NICE!!! he wants you because you're....beautiful" he said looking directly in my eyes! "Viaan! stop being so annoying...and let me go! he is waiting for me" I said. As I was about to leave, he held my hands and in a millisecond I was pinned to his car. I was shocked by this action of his. He never behaved like this but today he was in different mood. "What a-are you d-doing?" I said. We were so close that our lips were almost touching and then he bends towards my neck and kiss it. I swear that feeling was so amazing... I loved it but I didn't show it on my face, but then he looked at me with his dark brown eyes, and stared at me for a couple of seconds. "If you didn't leave for home right now! I will kiss the fuck out of you, until you become breathless" he said in his deep voice without breaking the eye contact. Honestly that was hot....but this is not the time for this. "And why are you suddenly so interested in my personal life? Are you jealous of Abhay?" I said without looking at him. "Do not try me! I said go home!!" I sensed that he is angry. "Oh yeah? don't try you? what will you do Mr. Raghuvanshi?" I said in a sarcastic way. To which he smirked. and said "don't ask for something you can't handle baby" What did he just say.....Baby? "I'm not your baby". "Are you sure?" he smirked again. Why the hell he's keep doing that. .........
