He made a bet. She became the challenge. But neither expected to lose their hearts. Rivan Shergill is the campus heartthrob-cocky, reckless, and dangerously charming. Girls fall for his smirk. But when his ego needs a boost, he bets on the one girl he should've stayed miles away from-his dad's best friend's daughter. Alanna Sehgal, lives in her own little world of fictional-books over boys, fictional men over heartbreak. She's soft, dreamy, and absolutely done with arrogant boys like Rivaan. But when she falls into Rivan's trap, things take a wild turn. Her only goal? To show him she's way out of his league-Easy. Or so she thought... until her bookish fantasies start turning into a messy, delicious reality with the one guy she hates the most. They're like fire and gasoline-burning with rage, passion, and chemistry they can't control. He's the chaos she never wanted. She's the calm he never knew he needed. Now every argument pulls them closer, every hate-filled glance turns hotter. And neither of them can stop. Enemies. Lovers. A bet that changes everything. Sometimes, love starts with hate-and one sinfully hot night where everything burns but their desire.

We've all heard the tales of good and bad, the tales of innocent deceit and her hero, the tales that despite their nature, show us the beauty in contrast. But it's the tales of pure evil that get swept under the rug. The tales of deception, where cruelty is rewarded. The tales that have you questioning who the real villain of the story is. There's a simple philosophy to most thing in life; two wrongs 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 make a right. So what ensues when you put two of the worst kinds of people together? Loyalties transfer, lines blur, and hatred ignites complete chaos. She's cunning. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. She's dangerous. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. She's evil. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦. Or so that's what we're told.

"Please Abhi ji... " she begged, her voice shaky, eyes searching his face for a flicker of mercy. She stepped back until the wall stopped her escape, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She could see it in his eyes-he was angry. But his voice? Too calm. Too controlled. And that scared her more than his rage ever could. He took another step forward, calm as ever, as if he wasn't burning inside. "Jaana, dar kyun rahi ho? Main kuch nahi karunga. Mat daro," he said smoothly, but the coldness in his gaze betrayed the lie behind his soft tone. (Darling, why are you scared? I won't do anything. Don't be afraid.) Her voice broke, laced with panic. "Aapne vada kiya tha... ki aap mujh par zabardasti nahi karenge," she reminded him, holding on to the last thread of hope. (You promised... that you wouldn't force yourself on me,) He smiled slightly, a calm too dangerous to trust."Aur Jaana, aapne bhi toh vada kiya tha ki aap apne boyfriend se kabhi nahi milengi. Aapne apna vada tod diya... ab meri baari " (And darling, you also promised that you would never meet your boyfriend. You broke your promise... now it's my turn.) His hands gripped her wrists and pressed them gently against the wall, not hurting her, but not letting her go either. Then, with a deliberate slowness, he leaned in and kissed her earlobe-sending a shiver down her spine. She squeezed her eyes shut, her heart pounding. She knew this wasn't about love. It was about control.
