She was the air he breathed and He was the hope she lived for. .✧~~~~~~ A fake relationship. ✧✧✧ Shreyash Raichand, a fierce cricketer raised under the weight of pride and expectations. A life ruled by discipline. Stern at heart, calm and collected. For him, love was nothing more than a fairy tale, something meant for stories, not for his reality. Until her. Ashmira Seth, a struggling writer whose life had always been shaped by scars. Deep and ugly ones that refused to fade. Yet, somewhere beneath the pain, lived a quiet flame of hope, fragile, but strong enough to keep her standing. --- They weren't supposed to fall in love. Not when everything between them was pretend. Not when it was meant to end before it ever truly began. --- But between shared silences, stolen glances, and emotions neither of them was ready to name, the lines began to blur. What started as an act slowly turned real. .✧~~~~ And before they knew it, they had fallen... too deep, too far, with no way back. ★★★ A relationship built on fake love- ...or just so it appears?

A perfectionist wrapped in quiet intensity, he's a man who believes in soulmates, in signs, in love written in the stars. But in a world that demands everything from him, love always came second. 𝐉𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐀 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐇, a 27-year-old entrepreneur, is fire wrapped in grace. After a heartbreak that carved scars deeper than she admits, she chooses ambition over affection, peace over passion. Her days are built on routines, responsibilities, and the quiet hope that maybe - just maybe - the universe still has something extraordinary in store. Their worlds collide at an airport in Paris - brief, accidental, unforgettable. A lost jhumka. A haunting scent of jasmine. And the sound of bells. What begins as a chance encounter blooms into something neither of them expected - a love story written across continents, stitched with longing, fate, and the kind of slow-burning tenderness that changes everything. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ ᴀ ꜱᴛᴏʀʏ ᴏꜰ ꜱᴇʀᴇɴᴅɪᴘɪᴛʏ, ꜱᴏᴜʟꜰᴜʟ ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ, ᴀɴᴅ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴄʜᴏᴏꜱᴇꜱ - ᴀɢᴀɪɴ ᴀɴᴅ ᴀɢᴀɪɴ.

She believed love was a lie. He made lies look like love. She never thought she'd end up kidnapped by a man like him - dangerous, powerful, and everything she feared. But behind the shadows of his mafia empire lies a man who doesn't force... he waits, protects, and watches her soul unfold. She was innocence wrapped in silence. He was fire born from pain. And when their worlds collide, hearts don't just fall - they shatter, burn, and rebuild. In a game of power, betrayal, and secrets... Will love be her weakness, or his salvation?
