At a chai stall outside a busy hospital, Lisha Sahani, a fiery engineering student, meets Dev Mehrotra, a brooding doctor with two cigarettes in hand and too many ghosts in his eyes. What begins with a burned dress and sharp words turns into a daily ritual of chai, cigarettes, and conversations that slowly unravel their guarded hearts. As Lisha teases out Dev's haunted past, and he learns to breathe again through her presence, a quiet, unexpected romance begins to simmer, one sip at a time. A story of smoke, silence, and second chances.

"You and Becca should come to our party tonight." One of them says. Brittany turns to face Becca and I and asks, "Wanna go?" "Just to clarify, only you and Becca are invited." The guy beside Aaron says. "Sorry Aria, only Becca and I are invited..." Brittany says, faking sympathy. "It's okay. I have something to do after school anyway." I say, faking a smile. <~~~~~~~~~~> If you're the person the sidewalk can't fit when you're friends are walking, the third wheeler in a friendship, or the person who always gets left out in plans, you might relate to this book! This book uses some Tagalog, but I translate it beside the sentence! I use Google and my parents on the translation since I'm not perfectly fluent! :P ~Published on October 1, 2019~ ~Completed on January 12, 2020~

"Never call a girl a bitch," I glared into his eyes as he opened them, piercing into me, the bright blue drink I had just poured over him still dripping from his dark hair. "Or she just might act like one." I gave him one last sarcastic smile before pushing by him and walking away, practically strutting. Well, this year will be fun... • • • • Crystal Summers; a self-proclaimed expert in all things sarcastic and the human embodiment of destructive decisions.

"Hey, um...Do you mind if I do this?" He asked me. I was about to reply but was cut off with his lips on mine. It was slow but hot. His lips tasted of cigarettes and blood but I don't care I needed this right now. I've always been waiting for this time since forever. He captured my waist holding me to him. He groaned when he didn't find me responding. I almost forgot that we were kissing. I buried my hands into his hair and kissed back, kissing and feeling those soft lips. I can't believe it. Xavier, the devil, is kissing me. Updated daily.

XANDER KING:- He is downright arrogant and emotionless. The few positive emotions he could express is reserved only for his family. He is a hardworking workaholic and this made him world's richest man. He is HANDSOME but not playboy not because he is gentleman, because he thinks no woman is compatible enough even for a night and he comes with a danger sign of desire and power. He has a secret, a secret as dark as he consider his soul and the man is not afraid of anything, not even god. He takes what he wants, never ask. ROSALYN D'ANGELO:- She is innocent but she tries her best to put a strong facade. She's sick of her life and hate the word 'love' with passion. She is exactly what she looks like, 'Trouble inviting Beauty'. She's a open book, no secrets, no past or no grudges but the woman is curious, too curious for her own good. She's one hell of a stubborn person. THEY ARE GONNA COLLIDE AND EXPLODE. HE IS GOING TO TRY HIS WORSE AND SHE WILL GET ADDICTED TO THIS ENIGMA. THIS IS A GAME OF PULL AND PULL, STILL SECRETS PUSH THEM APART. THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE WHOLE NEW MEANING TO 'LOVE'. LET'S SEE WHAT IS ON THE BET THIS TIME.
