Aarvi (The Bride He Never Wanted)
By @Juliana Honger
At nineteen, Aarvi is traded into a high-society arranged marriage to Arnav Raichand, a ruthless twenty-nine-year-old billionaire who rules Mumbai's corporate empire. Arnav never wanted a bride. Cold and fiercely protective of his family, he views Aarvi as an unwanted obligation. Yet, beneath his icy exterior lies a shameless, teasing husband who thrives on making his shy, quiet bride blush at his touch. While Arnav demands absolute submission and guards his family with lethal intent, Aarvi hides behind her silence, terrified of being discarded like she was by her own parents. As their physical intimacy deepens, Arnav's reluctance transforms into a consuming, unconfessed love. His massive ego prevents him from uttering the words, creating a suffocating tension. When his enemies target Aarvi to break the Raichand empire, Arnav must choose between swallowing his pride to save her soul, or losing the only woman who ever truly saw past his monstrous mask.

The Iron Saree
By @Sangeetha Iris
In Coimbatore's prestigious Vidya Vikas School, Maths teacher Maha is a living legend of dread. Her strictness isn't just severe; it's a brutal force. Students in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades cower before her, knowing a wrong answer invites public humiliation and physical punishment that sometimes leaves blood clots. During these harrowing sessions, her saree often shifts, revealing her navel, a stark, unsettling intimacy amidst their pleas for mercy. She tucks a floral handkerchief into her waistband, a jarring detail against her unyielding demeanor. This isn't just about grades; it's a raw, emotional battle for survival, where children face a teacher whose methods could forge or break their very spirits, all under the shadow of a forgotten tragedy.

The strict maths teacher
By @Sangeetha Iris
At Coimbatore's Vidya Vikas School, Maha is more than a maths teacher; she is an unyielding force of nature. For students in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades, her classes are a gauntlet of fear, where the wooden scale descends without mercy on palms and below the knees, leaving behind not just welts but blood clots and trembling pleas. Her ruthless discipline, born from a deep-seated belief that harshness is the only path to true academic rigor, is absolute. Students dread the moments when her saree shifts during a particularly severe punishment, revealing a glimpse of her tucked floral handkerchief, a stark contrast to her stern demeanor. As whispers of her severity spread, a silent rebellion brews, challenging not just Maha's methods, but the very definition of education and empathy. This realistic tale explores the psychological toll of her iron will on young minds, and the desperate yearning for a sliver of kindness in a world governed by fear.
