His bride ran away before midnight. Humiliated, furious, and one drink away from losing control, CEO... never expected comfort from the last person he wanted to see again-his school rival. The same rival who secretly spent years obsessed with him. Now, somewhere between revenge, desire, and dangerous truths, hate starts feeling disturbingly close to possession. And the worst part?

Summary: A victory trip. A luxurious escape between mountains and beaches. A group of cricketers celebrating their win-laughing, teasing, living freely for once. It was supposed to be simple. Just a trip. But somewhere between shared rooms, late-night chaos, and stolen glances- things start to change. Shubman doesn't understand why Ishan being close to others makes something inside him burn. Ishan laughs everything off... until it stops feeling like a joke. And then there's Abhishek- who knows exactly what he's doing. Exactly what he wants. Mayank, on the other hand, doesn't. Not yet. Touches linger longer than they should. Words start meaning more than they're supposed to. And boundaries? They slowly... disappear. What begins as comfort turns into attachment. Attachment into possessiveness. And possessiveness into something far more dangerous. Because this trip- was never just a trip. It was the beginning of something they won't be able to walk away from. And once it starts- There's no going back....

And the beginning of a madness he would never outrun.
