Broken once, Claimed Twice

She was sunshine.
He was silence.
And fate broke them both.

Ruhani Thakral has everything—wealth, beauty, privilege—except love. Plus-size, vibrant, and desperate to be seen, she enters college dreaming of a romance straight out of the movies. What she finds instead is Vihaan Malhotra—the quiet, brilliant boy no one notices, whose life is built on caution and survival.
When Ruhani defends Vihaan from cruelty, an unexpected bond forms. Friendship turns into something deeper, softer, and dangerously real. She becomes his light. He becomes her safe place.
But love isn’t enough when fear and power intervene.
Ruhani leaves, shattering Vihaan’s heart—and six years later, she pays the price. Trapped in an abusive marriage that steals her voice and her spark, she survives only for her son. When her husband’s death leaves her with nothing, the past she tried to bury comes back to claim her.
Vihaan Malhotra returns—no longer the boy she left behind, but a powerful man forged by pain, ambition, and unresolved love. He promised her hell.
Now he holds her fate.
This is a dark, emotional tale of broken love, revenge, trauma, and second chances—where the deepest wounds are inflicted by the ones who once loved us most, and healing may only come from facing the past that refuses to let go.
