Saari duniya se jeet ke main aaya hoon idhar, Tere aage hi main haara kiya tune kya asar....✿⁠ BOOK 1 of series RED & SAFFRON She left India with a dream. She didn't know she was carrying a promise with her. AADHYA SHARMA has always fought for her future. Bold, ambitious, and academically brilliant, she earns a fully funded scholarship to Lomonosov Moscow State University-her chance to escape a family that believes a girl's freedom can ruin reputations. But her victory comes with a condition: a promise to her father that could one day cost her everything. Russia is unfamiliar, cold, and unforgiving. So is ARSEN MIKHAIL VOLKOV. Quiet, guarded, and impossible to read, Arsen is nothing like the people Aadhya is used to. Their first meetings are filled with sharp words, clashing opinions, and undeniable irritation. They argue. They disagree. They challenge each other at every step. What begins as pure annoyance slowly turns into something neither of them planned-or wanted. Between academic pressure, cultural differences, unspoken pasts, and a promise hanging over Aadhya's head, emotions become dangerous territory. Especially when both of them have learned, in different ways, that love is never simple. Set in the heart of Moscow, this is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers story about ambition, resistance, unspoken feelings, and the fine line between control and surrender. Some promises are made to protect dreams. Others exist to destroy them. And neither of them is ready for what this one will cost. NOTE - This story focuses on emotions, slow burn, and character depth. No explicit smut. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #1 - Wattpadindia (23-02-26) #1 - Romcom (25-02-26)

"Why don't you understand, Mr. Agnihothri?" The words were torn from my throat, raw and desperate. "I am not the one who is made for love. Don't try to heal me, Shiv. I'm telling you, you will only break yourself in that process," I screamed, the sound catching and splintering with a deep, shaky breath. ​But the expected anger, the frustrated retreat, never came. Instead, his gaze-intense, impossibly tender-met mine, and a small, maddeningly serene smile touched the corner of his lips. It was a silent challenge, a soft denial that made the fragile control I held on my sanity begin to crumble. ​"Let's stop this here, please," I whispered, the desperate plea barely audible, the fight draining from me. "You deserve someone whole, someone pure, not a shattered, half-broken glass doll like me." The confession was an admission of defeat, and a single, traitorous tear-hot and heavy-escaped the dam of my composure, tracing a path down my cheek. ​Something fractured in his placid facade. The smile vanished, replaced by a sudden, fierce darkness. He shut his eyes, his jaw clenching as he inhaled a deep, steadying breath, a visible battle raging to master a sudden, barely contained fury. Then, in a single, predatory movement, he erased the space between us. ​He captured my shoulders, his grip not cruel, but intensely demanding, and pushed me firmly back against the cool, unforgiving drywall. The sudden pressure was intoxicating, trapping me between the solid surface and his unyielding body. Slowly, deliberately, he leaned in, his intent palpable, until his mouth was almost touching my ear. ​"Saanvi," his voice was a low, resonant rumble, a silken promise laced with a dangerous possessiveness, "Even the breath I take when you are near me is elixir (Amrit) for my soul." His lips brushed my skin as he spoke the last word, the sheer intimacy of the contact sending a wildfire racing through my veins and igniting my heart into an uncontrollable inferno. ​
