𝓐 𝓗𝓲𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓗𝓮𝓻 𝓝𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪 Can be read as standalone. ══════⊹⊱❖⊰⊹══════ Sometimes the best lies are the ones you have to live in. At twenty-one, Rhea Kashyap is done being protected. Raised by a single mother after her father walked out, Rhea has spent her life under the watchful- sometimes suffocating- care of her overprotective older brother, Kabir. So when he crosses a line in the name of 'looking out for her', she makes an impulsive decision. Determined to prove she can make her own choices, Rhea does the one thing she knows will shake her brother to the core- she proposes a fake relationship to Vidyut Sharma, Kabir's longtime rival and his wife's friend. At twenty-five, Vidyut is calm, guarded, and very aware that fake dating his best friend's sister is a terrible idea. He learned very young that attachment always comes with loss. So, he doesn't let him want what he can't afford to lose But when Rhea needs a place to stay- and a convincing boyfriend- he agrees to the rules: no feelings, no lines crossed, no complications. Living together was supposed to be temporary. Pretending was supposed to be easy. But stolen glances turn into late-night conversations, and playful lies begin to feel dangerously real. As family tensions rise and past wounds resurface, Rhea and Vidyut are forced to confront the one rule they are breaking most... falling for each other. She wanted freedom. He needed a distraction. Neither planned on falling in love.

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.
