The chaotic love story built on lies, and almost destroyed by them. ✧ ✧ ✧ "So, you like her for years?" I asked with a low and cracking voice. And here I was back to the square, getting confused about what was happening. "I love her..." He opened his eyes to look at me. Taking a deep breath, he scanned my face with furrowed brows. "You look like her." His voice had clear amusement in it. "What?" This escaped my lips when my mind stopped trying to comprehend what he meant. It was getting very messy to understand. "But I'll always love her." With that, he dozed off. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥. ✧ ✧ ✧ When fate, or one single lie lands her up in her brother's bestfriend's apartment, Preet Randhawa has no other option but to move in with him, become his roommate behind the four walls.

"Tumhari himmat kaise hui?"."Mujhe akela chhod do." "Please mat jao". Once, they would have given their lives to protect her. Now, they don't even know if they can save her from the storm brewing within her. "Maybe we were too busy pretending everything was fine to notice you were drowning." Shivani is no longer the innocent girl who left. She is a force of reckoning-untamed, unforgiving, and determined to settle scores that have festered for years. "It's a war of will," HE realizes, his chest tightening as he watches her. "And this time, I'm not sure I'm prepared to win." "I thought I could predict everything, control everything," he says, his tone almost bitter. "But you? You're the chaos I never saw coming." What happens when love morphs into resentment, and the ties of family fracture beyond repair? Can the Agnihotris rebuild what they once had, or is their bloodline doomed to be torn apart by the weight of betrayal, regret, and years of lies?

When the family you once called home becomes the place of your greatest pain, where do you go? Their past is filled with love-but also thick with secrets, lies, and a reckoning so inevitable, even the Agnihotris may not survive it.
