They were supposed to hate each other. A contract. A city far from home. One impulsive, reckless decision. They didn't speak of it again. Pallavi Eshwar has built her life around silence measured steps, quiet defiance, and an unshakable calm that masks the fire underneath. Indra Sarveshwaran is her opposite in every way loud where she is still, sharp where she is steady. He's the rivalry she never asked for. And the only person who sees through her perfectly crafted walls. What began as a secret to forget slowly becomes a truth they can't outrun. Because you can sign a hundred deals, fake a hundred smiles, and still ache for the one thing you're not allowed to want. Tied together by a paper-thin vow and years of unresolved tension, they navigate boardrooms and battlegrounds, pretending they're nothing when somewhere along the way, they became everything. But the longer you hide love, the heavier it becomes. And this love is anything but light.
