Manan story Manik (low, dangerous whisper): "You can run from everyone, Nandini... but not from me. You were mine the moment I saw you." --- Nandini (broken voice, holding back tears): "I don't love you, Manik... I never will." Manik (smirking): "Good. Love is weak. What I feel for you... is stronger." --- Manik (pinning her with his eyes): "Hate me all you want, but don't you dare leave me. I won't survive that." --- Nandini (whispering to herself): "Why does freedom feel impossible... when he's the one holding the chains?" She was sunshine. He was the storm that wanted to own the sun. Nandini Murthy came to Dehradun to study... but destiny handed her to a man whose love was nothing less than obsession. Manik Malhotra - the arrogant king of the campus, the boy every girl wanted... and the one girl who didn't want him at all. But he wanted her. Madly. Dangerously. Completely. He caged her with a smile, broke her with a touch, and loved her with a madness she never asked for. She hates him. He can't breathe without her. And this is the story of a girl trying to escape... and a boy who would burn the world to keep her. An obsession stronger than fear. A love darker than secrets. A bond that neither of them can break. ~Mature Content 18+~
