Ishan: I don't wanna be your one and only 'Cause all they wanna do is try to own me But you the one I'm calling when I'm lonely, yeah, yeah, yeah... You said you never had it like this with dem other gyal That's why you wanna keep the business to the minimal Could never be my inta habibi, if you wanna get with me . . . Shubman: but- I don't wanna be your dirty little secret Cause~ I can make you never wanna leave Bring you to your knees Come and live your fantasy ...

"I don't know when you became my weakness. I just know you did." 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ🖤 Ishan Kishan had one dream-to escape his struggles and build a better future for his family. That desperation leads him to The Royal Imperial, a world of luxury, secrets, power, and danger. ───── • ✦ • ───── What happens when his path crosses with the most feared underworld mafia man? Shubman Gill-a man who has built an empire where money speaks, power rules, and fear keeps people in line. To the world, he's a successful businessman. But behind The Royal Imperial's glittering walls, he's the man the underworld fears to cross. And despite having all the power and means, destiny leads him to Ishan Kishan- the one person who slowly becomes his greatest weakness. 𓆩♡𓆪 "I thought it was just curiosity... until I realized what it was leading me to." - Ishan ... "I built my world without needing anyone. Then why does it feel empty when you're not in it?" - Gill

To everyone else it looked like a competition between two college cricket captains fighting for the top spot. Every victory only fuels Ishan's frustration and every defeat makes him want to beat Shubman even more. What no one knows is that Shubman has a secret. He's not obsessed with winning. He's obsessed with Ishan. Every challenge every argument every stolen victory is just another excuse to get Ishan's attention. After all what happens when your greatest rival is also the person who owns your heart?

You better read the story🎀

Five years ago, Ishan Kishan did the bravest and stupidest thing of his life-he left the man he loved. He broke his own heart, disappeared, became the first Omega ACP in India, raised a five-year-old daughter who thinks she runs the government, and convinced himself that moving on was a real thing people actually did. Spoiler: it was not. Now life is simple. Catch criminals. Ignore society. Survive his mother Kavita's lectures. Pack Aaruhi's school tiffin. Pretend he does not still think about one certain arrogant cricket star. Very manageable. Until Mumbai happens. And unfortunately, so does Shubman Gill. India's cricket prince. National heartthrob. Walking ego in expensive shirts. Possessive Alpha. Professional menace. Also, Ishan's first love. Biggest regret. Personal headache. When death threats force ACP Ishan Kishan to become head of security for the Indian cricket team, he expects danger. He does not expect Shubman looking him in the eye and deciding, very calmly, that losing him once was enough. Now there is unresolved love, old wounds, too much chemistry, one extremely observant child, and a dangerously shameless Alpha who keeps looking at him like "running away again" is no longer an available option. Between handcuffs and heartbeats, duty and desire, and a past that refuses to stay buried, some loves do not end. They just wait. And Shubman Gill? He has waited long enough.

"Not happy to see me, Ishan?" Shubman chuckled and Ishan wished he could punch him in the stomach. "Seeing your face is the last thing I want in my life." Ishan spat glaring at the boy with fire in his eyes. He sees an expression flicker over the other's face, which is quickly covered by a smirk. "Now that's rude sweetie." Shubman chuckles bitterly and Ishan wants nothing more than to punch his stupid face into the ground but somehow, he can't. "Don't call me that." Ishan almost shouts, his chest heaving up and down from all the anger. They both stare at each other, none of them backing down. . . . . . . Two people who used to be best friends, can't seem to stand in the same room now. What changed? Is it just hate? Or is it love? Read and find out

A beautiful yet challenging love journey between a baker 🍰 🍞 and a cricketer 🏏 . Love can be hard for them, and God tests their devotion, but the ending will be worth remembering."
