He wasn't her lover. He was her mistake. And yet... the only man who ever stayed. --------- He was a stranger in the shadows. She was his heartbreak wrapped in fire. Niyati thought heartbreak ended with her ex. But the night she wakes up next to a dangerously magnetic stranger, everything changes. She doesn't remember the kiss. She doesn't know his name. All she knows is the way his touch lingered... and the way her heart stuttered in his presence. Rithwik Ahuja-cold, ruthless, and untouchable-is the man every woman fears and desires. To the world, he's a powerful enigma. To Niyati, he's a mistake she can't forget. But Rithwik remembers everything-the stolen kiss, the soft moans, the way she whispered another man's name against his lips. And yet... he can't stay away. She's drowning in guilt and confusion. He's addicted to the chaos she brings. In a world tangled with secrets, possessive longing, and a past that refuses to die, love isn't gentle-it's a war. And Rithwik is ready to burn for her. One kiss. One lie. One twisted love story. Welcome to the storm that is Niyati & Rithwik. "𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞?" "𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬, 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐞?"
