Kritika Rai has learned one thing- stay quiet and don't make things worse. At home, that's how she gets through the day. At school, it's how she keeps people out. Avinash Arora doesn't trust anyone. Not after everything he's been through. Not after learning the hard way that relying on people only gets you hurt. When they meet, they don't exactly get along. They argue, avoid each other, and pretend they don't care. But somehow... they keep ending up in the same place. And slowly, without either of them meaning to, things start to change. Zoya Tiwari is just trying to live a normal life, working at a hotel and keeping things simple- until Advik Yadav walks in. He's not the kind of person she should get involved with. And she knows it. But some people don't stay strangers. Two different stories. Four people who have nothing in common- except the fact that none of them really know what "home" feels like. Maybe they were never supposed to meet. Or maybe... they were exactly what each other needed. ══════⊹⊱❖⊰⊹══════ Warning 🔞 Please read the trigger warnings before you start.

Eraya Mehra has been a ghost in her own life, passed over, pushed aside and now handed over to a man who kills without blinking. She expects a monster. He expects a bargaining chip. But the moment their worlds collide, something shifts. She doesn't cower the way he anticipated. He doesn't destroy her the way she feared. Instead, stolen glances turn into cracks in his armor, and the way he says her name starts to sound less like a claim and more like a prayer. But as the past begins to unravel, Aarik realizes the line between vengeance and love is thinner than he thought. He should keep his distance, he wants to but instead, he finds himself becoming her silent guardian, shielding her from a world that has only ever hurt her, while fighting the darkness within himself.
