AFTER MARRIAGE Some love stories begin with a kiss. Theirs began with a contract. Sita is calm, reserved, and orderly — the kind of person who finds solace in silence. Vedehi is chaos wrapped in charm — loud, lively, and allergic to stillness. They have nothing in common… except heartbreak, family pressure, and a desperate need to escape. When both women land in England hoping to find love, all they find is disappointment — and each other. One impulsive proposal later, they're bound by a two-year contract marriage: no love, no drama, just a fake relationship to get their families off their backs. But fate has other plans. Sita is still searching for a woman from her past — someone who once held her heart. Vedehi, in helping her find that lost love, quietly falls for the very person she's supposed to be pretending with. Just when feelings start to blur and the contract begins to crumble, tragedy strikes. A sudden accident leaves Sita with no memory — not of the contract, not of the marriage, not even of Vedehi. Now Vedehi is left holding onto a love that only she remembers… And a wife who no longer knows her. Will Sita ever recall what they had? Will Vedehi’s love be enough to rebuild what fate tore apart? Or will their story remain a forgotten promise, lost between silence and memory? "After Marriage" is a breathtaking sapphic romance of opposites, survival, heartbreak, and healing. It’s about falling in love with someone who forgot you — and choosing them, even when they can't choose you back. Because sometimes, the most unforgettable love stories… Are the ones that begin after marriage. Dear Reader, “After Marriage” is more than just a love story — it’s a journey through silence, chaos, heartbreak, and healing. I promise you a story that will make you laugh when you least expect it and cry when you don’t want to. I promise you characters who are beautifully flawed, frustratingly human, and deeply real. I promise tension, misunderstandings, soft moments, and fierce ones — all stitched together with raw emotion and quiet hope. This isn’t a perfect romance. This is about two women who learn that love doesn’t always arrive the way we imagine — sometimes it comes late, sometimes through pain, and sometimes… disguised as a contract. But when it finally finds them, it stays. So, as you turn each page, I hope you feel every heartbeat, every fight, every smile, and every scar. And above all, I promise — by the end of this story, you’ll believe that real love… never truly forgets. With all my heart, — The Author

For ten years, Luo Yixin stood silently by Ren Jiayun’s side—his best friend, his confidante, his shadow. She was the one who knew how he liked his coffee, who answered his late-night calls, who watched him fall in love and fall apart… all while hiding her own feelings behind quiet smiles. He never noticed the way her heart ached. And then, without a word, he disappeared. Years later, when fate brings them back together, Ren Jiayun is no longer the boy she once loved. Cold, distant, and guarded, he looks at her like a stranger. But Yixin isn’t the same girl either—she’s stronger now, no longer waiting in silence. Still, destiny has its own plans. Drawn together by circumstance, they share awkward dinners, lingering glances, and moments that feel too familiar to forget. Beneath the surface, emotions long buried begin to stir. She never stopped loving him. He never truly forgot her. But this time, love won't be quiet. It will be messy, painful, and real. Can love survive after a decade of silence? Can two hearts find each other after everything’s changed? Or is some love meant to be lost forever?
