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.
