Two lawyers. One courtroom. And a hatred sharp enough to draw blood. Saanvi Mehra has clawed her way to the top-brilliant, sharp-tongued, and unbreakable. She's earned her place in a world that was never built for her. And she's not about to lose it. Especially not to Veer Raizada. Veer is composed. Cruel. Untouchable. And for reasons Saanvi can't decipher, he loathes her with a quiet intensity that burns. Every case between them is war. Every glance, a challenge. Every word, laced with something too dangerous to name. He wants to see her fall. She refuses to give him the satisfaction.

A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance brimming with sharp banter, long-buried secrets, and the kind of tension that leaves scars.

A story of love, lies, and hidden truths Aarvi thought she knew her relationship. Small moments don't add up. Words feel wrong. Silence grows heavier. Then one discovery changes everything, unraveling what she believed, revealing what was hidden all along. What happens when you finally see the truth? It was always there.

She loved me when I didn't even know how to love myself. Sahiba walked into my life with eyes full of devotion and a heart foolish enough to believe I could give her the same in return. And what did I do? I crushed her. With my silence. With my indifference. With the walls I built so high she could never climb them. Worst of all? My fucking betrayal. She thinks it's over. That the divorce ended us. But the truth she doesn't know is brutal-she's still my wife. On paper, in law, in name... and in the marrow of my bones. I never let her go. I couldn't. I've spent years carrying the weight of her absence like a noose around my neck. Every day without her has been punishment. Every night, I see the girl I destroyed staring back at me in my dreams, reminding me that I turned her love into ashes. But this time, I won't let her slip through my fingers. I'll fight. I'll bleed. I'll burn the world if I have to. She might hate me, curse me, despise the ground I walk on-but I'll take it. Because losing her once broke me. Losing her again will kill me. I was her nightmare once. Now I'll be her damnation or her salvation. But I'll be hers.

We weren't in love. We were an inferno-ruthless, consuming, the kind of fire that left nothing but smoke and scars. Vikram was my first kiss, my first time, my first taste of forever. And he was the first boy who ever made me fear the way love could bruise. One look in his eyes and I saw my father's madness staring back at me. So I did the only thing I could-I ripped us apart before he could ruin me too. But Vikram never let me walk away clean. He made sure I bled for it. He fucked his way through half the class, made me watch him turn cruel, made me choke on the ashes of what we used to be. He made me watch him become everything I hated. And still, I loved him like a fool. Still, I gave him one rule-don't touch her. The girl who made my life a living hell. The one betrayal that would cut me deeper than all the rest. And he did it anyway. That was the day I buried whatever soft, stupid love I had left for him. That was the day I decided Vikram Chauhan could burn alone. Now he's back in my life. Older. Colder. Dangerous in ways even he wasn't before. And he's looking at me like I'm still his, like the years and the ruin mean nothing. But he doesn't get to set me on fire twice. Too bad, Vikram. This time, it's not happening.
