"Aditya, I-" "Yes or No." His voice cut through the air, sharp and commanding. Shivalika didn't say anything. She knew if she replied with only Yes or No then it will bring up more Misunderstandings. But Her silence was enough for him. "The lies, the betrayal... You really thought I wouldn't find out?" Her eyes drifted to the papers in his hand-papers that would change everything. Her face paled. She had never imagined the truth would come out like this. "D-DNA report..." Her voice trembled. Her family was now frozen in shock. The betrayal was too much. His heart, once shattered, He had trusted her, believed her- But she had betrayed him. Not once, but twice. After all these years, she had hidden the truth about his daughter. "You hid it from me." His voice was thick "For eight years." His words were harsh. "I have a 7 year-old daughter, and I never knew she existed. I thought my child was dead! And you... you didn't think I had the right to know?" His voice broke into a whisper, one laced with pain. "I should've known. I shouldn't have trusted you after what you did to me eight years ago." Disgust curling his lips. For the first time, Shivalika saw hatred for her in his eyes, and it pierced her soul. But she knew she deserved it- every bit of his hate. She had broken him all over again. "You're a lawyer, right? You fight for human rights, but You took away my rights as a father." "Ms. Chauhan...You will regret hiding this from me. You've seen my love,and now... now you will see my Hate." "I didn't hate you when you left me. But today, today you've given me a reason to." His face twisted in a storm of fury, betrayal. "I'll make your life a living hell. This was all because of our family rivalry right? Now, I'll show You what a Real Rivalry looks like." Each word filled with venom, rage, and the promise of Vengeance. The man who had once been the hero of someone's story had now become the villain of his own. His Love turned into Vengeance.

#BOOK 1 OF DEVOTED LOVE SERIES ✨🌷 RISHI SINGHANIA X TARA MAHLOTRA LOVE IS A DEVOTION AND NOT EVERYONE CAN BE A DEVOTEE. [ A SOFT ROMANCE --- HIGH SCHOOL ROM - COM THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE VIBES OF DARK ROMANCE] The question was soft, but it hit something deep inside him. He didn't answer immediately. Instead, he lifted his hands again, cupping her face with the same gentleness, the same reverence as before. His thumbs traced her skin as though memorizing her in the half-light."Tara," he whispered, leaning just close enough that she could feel his breath, "I love you." Her lips parted slightly, breath catching."Tum sitara ho meri zindagi ka... meri Tara." He said it like it wasn't a confession but a truth he had carried for too long. And then - almost instinctively - he lowered his head until his forehead rested against hers. Their breaths mingled, warm despite the cold air around them. His eyes were half closed, searching her face so close his lashes almost brushed her skin. For the first time, Tara didn't retreat. She didn't overthink. She didn't hide. She simply leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek. A soft, hesitant kiss... but one that carried every unspoken feeling she had buried for months. Her heart thudded so loudly she wondered if he could hear it. Rishi stopped breathing. He couldn't. The guy who never let any girl touch him is now completely whipped for his woman. Just that simple touch - that single shy kiss - and everything inside him went utterly still, like the world had paused just to replay the moment again and again. His jaw tensed, eyes fluttering shut, as if her lips had set off an entire universe inside him. Tara stepped back just a little, her eyes holding his with an unfamiliar steadiness."I'll give answer to this question later..." she whispered, her fingers still lightly clutching his shirt, her cheeks warm with the afterglow of her own courage.
