Seven years ago, Siddhant Agnihotri was Navya Sharma's everything - her first love, her best friend, her soulmate, her forever. But one choice... one forced and reluctant decision... shattered the fragile pieces of their love. He believed she betrayed him. She knew she had no other choice. Now, after seven long years of separation - seven years of hiding behind guilt and hate - fate ties them together once again. Not as lovers. But as an arranged couple. He's cold, distant, and full of resentment. She's carrying the same love, buried deep beneath guilt and pain. What happens when the man who once craved her love becomes the one who despises her very existence? Will he ever forgive her... or learn to love her again? Because sometimes, even broken hearts remember how to beat - for His Adoreness. Siddhant Agnihotri - Founder of T&M Groups, an empire that not only leads in business but also funds multiple orphanages and old-age shelters. The President of Doicil Pvt. Ltd. Yet beneath all the success lies a man carved from stone - cold, arrogant, and distant. Sharp features, piercing eyes, and a presence that commands silence - Siddhant Agnihotri is the kind of man who doesn't need to speak to be feared... or desired. ~~~~~~~ Navya Sharma She runs a small pet shelter and works as a veterinary doctor, spending her days surrounded by those who cannot speak but love unconditionally. An ambivert by nature - soft-spoken yet bold when needed. Her beauty isn't loud; it's the kind that lingers - gentle eyes, expressive features, and a smile that feels like home. ⚖️ Disclaimer All rights reserved.

"Kill me... not her." His voice was low, deadly calm, but his eyes-bloodshot, burning-never left mine. Eyes that should have hated me. Eyes that should have turned away after my betrayal. But no... even now, he chose me. And that was the worst punishment of all. Ten guns pointed at us. Ten traitors... just like me. And in the middle of it-Devraj. My Devraj. Bhai will come. He will save him. He has to. But only if I don't live to ruin him again. So I stepped back. Once. Twice. The edge welcomed me with open arms. "Don't-" his voice cracked, just once. Just enough to shatter me. And I let go. The world blurred. The screams behind me blurred into nothing. My shame, my fear, my hurt drowned with the wind as I fell. It was easier this way-easier than living with the weight of my own betrayal. But my heart-damn my stubborn heart-refused to stop beating. Because it wasn't ready to leave him. Not yet.
