Atharv: "Let's not pretend this is anything more than an arrangement, Sanvi. This marriage is just a compromise-for my family, not my heart." Sanvi: smiling faintly "I never expected your heart, Mr. Rathore. I just hoped for a little respect." Atharv: pauses, softening slightly "Respect, yes. Love... I can't promise that." Sanvi: determined "Then let's put everything in writing-a contract. No illusions, no false expectations. Just two strangers bound by duty." ----------------------🎀🤍 'Shadows Of commitment' [Hope you all like this story] 💛 .

"It took me three years to hug you, and today you let him hug you, huh?" he asked, trying to control his anger. "He is your brother," she said, trying to move from his grip. "So what?

"I'm a very loyal and possessive man. Just because I haven't kissed or touched you doesn't mean I can't. Now, what will you do to make it up to me?" "I... I will..." "You will what?" "I will sit on your lap and feed you," she said. "From now on, you'll do this every morning and night."

"Can't you understand? I don't love you. You are a minor, and you're my best friend's sister. This isn't right-it can never happen." With those final words, he turned away, leaving her behind. Tears streamed down her face as she stood there, shattered, her heart breaking into pieces. •┈••✦ 𓆩ᥫ᭡𓆪 ✦••┈• "Why don't you understand? I am not interested in you!" she shouted, her voice filled with frustration. "I don't want to marry you! I was young back then... it was just a foolish crush. I don't feel anything for you anymore!" She had spent years trying to forget him, forcing herself to move on. Yet now, when she had finally freed herself from the past, he was the one chasing after her. "Please, Petal... just one chance," he whispered, his voice breaking as he fell to his knees, his pride abandoned. •┈••✦ 𓆩ᥫ᭡𓆪 ✦••┈• • T R O P E S • • Brother best friend • She fell first and hard • Slow burn romance • Age gap (7 year) • Nerd fl • He never saw her that way... until • Protective to the extreme • Only soft for her • He spoils her excessively • Possessive beyond limits • Burns with jealousy • Husband duties taken seriously • He'd destroy anyone who hurts her
