They say you only fall in love once. For Ody and Mano, that once changed everything. In a world where love isn't always safe, and pain comes hand-in-hand with desire, two straight boys find each other in the middle of grief, trauma, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen... and losing someone again would ruin him. Ody can't help but care. Bright, extroverted, charming and painfully sincere, he's the kind of boy who notices when you're hurting... even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. Sparks fly, but so do secrets, buried trauma, and a love neither of them is ready for. One of them hides behind silence. The other hides behind smiles. Together, they're wildfire. But not all fires survive the storm. The forbidden love between a broken boy and a lost one - a bond that refuses to break, even as the world tries to tear them apart. 🖤New chapter every Friday🖤 !

Title: The Shattered Vows In a world where love is often the casualty of power, Sahil finds himself trapped in an arranged marriage-a contract sealed by his parents for the sake of business. To him, this marriage is nothing more than a cold transaction. He despises his wife, tanya, who, unknown to him, has loved him for as long as she can remember. His heart, however, belongs to a girl from his past-a fleeting childhood crush who moved to New York and never returned. Little does he know, the very woman he has married is that same girl, but he remains blind to her true identity. He believes his crush is still in New York, unaware that she is right beside him, bearing the weight of unrequited love. As time passes, Sahil turns to another, starting a dangerous affair that shatters the fragile vows of their marriage. But just when the deception seems unbearable, tanya's world collapses in a way neither of them could have anticipated-she is diagnosed with stage three cancer. With her days numbered and her heart aching from his betrayal, will the truth of her identity come to light before it's too late? Will Sahil be able to save his marriage after discovering who she truly is, or will the shattered vows remain broken beyond repair?
