    He buried his heart the day his wife died. Vihaan Sharma - ruthless CEO, feared businessman, single father to 1.5-year-old twins - doesn't believe in love anymore. His world is built on control, power, and the tiny hands of Aarav and Aisha, the only pieces of softness left in his life. He doesn't need a wife. He needs a mother for his children. So when an arranged marriage proposal lands on his desk, he treats it like every other deal in his empire - practical, emotionless, final. No love. No expectations. No place in his heart. But the woman he marries is not what he expects. She is quiet... but not weak. Distant... but not cold. Hidden behind calm eyes that seem to understand grief a little too well. As the toddlers begin to cling to her, as the mansion slowly fills with warmth again, something dangerous begins to shift. Because Vihaan Sharma doesn't know how to love gently. He loves like possession. Like obsession. Like he's terrified of losing again. And when secrets from the past resurface - threatening his children, his empire, and the woman who was never supposed to matter - he will have to choose: Protect his heart. Or risk destroying it again. This was supposed to be a marriage of convenience. But some arrangements don't stay contracts. Some turn into storms. And this time, the storm has her name written all over it. 🖤

    *ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ In the shadowed halls of Hogwarts during the turbulent days, where whispers of rebellion coil through candlelit corridors and fear hides beneath the polished sheen of ancient stone, an unexpected story takes root tender, precarious, and quietly defiant. Fred and George Weasley, known for their irreverent laughter and endless schemes, have always treated life as a grand experiment in chaos and wonder. But beneath their mischief lies something far more fragile: a devotion neither of them ever learned how to name, and a love that refuses to stay within the lines of what the world deems acceptable. Liora Malfoy, the soft-spoken Hufflepuff hidden behind the weight of a notorious name, is everything her surname is not. Gentle where her bloodline is sharp, patient where her legacy is proud, she has spent years quietly surviving between expectations and invisibility. Yet within the warmth of her bond with the Weasley twins, she finds a place where she is not a shadow but a home. When an unplanned truth alters the course of their final year two unexpected lives forming in the quiet in-between of war and youth the fragile balance they've built begins to tremble. What follows is not merely a struggle with consequence, but a journey through fear, devotion, and the terrifying vulnerability of becoming a family in a world that does not yet know how to accept them. In a world unraveling under darkness and expectation, three young hearts must learn that love is not always simple, nor safe but it can be fierce enough to survive even the sharpest judgment. A story of secrecy and courage, of laughter turned into lifelines, and of a love that refuses to be reduced to scandal A Mischief Most Tender is a tale of finding light where none was meant to grow *ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ *ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ -copyrights reserve to J.K Rowling

    Everyone says she survived the winter sickness. She knows they're lying. Because sickness doesn't leave behind memories of a man with no face... And it definitely doesn't make a king look at a mere maid like she belongs on his throne. The more she tries to ignore it, the worse it gets. Dreams that feel too real. A past that refuses to stay buried. One man haunts her nights. The other refuses to let her go. And both might be the reason she disappeared... in the first place.

    Oh, we are so back! :P Are you coming from Preacher's Daughter? Here I present to you the short stories of Ellie and Evelyn as they live their lives freely after a whole lot of difficulty through their teenage years. They are now happily married and have started their own family. Eve thought her parents and family accepting her one day would be a dream - now she is living it. There will be time jumps in these chapters but it is mainly throughout the years readers miss aka their college and adult years. If you have any requests or ideas please feel free to let me know! Otherwise, happy reading! These are one shots from an already existing story, Preacher's Daughter, that I wrote. I suppose you can read them as one-shots with no background, but it will not make complete sense. Whatever floats your boat.
