When Adrian Wright returns to London after a decade away, he's no longer the teasing boy Elara Parkar remembers. He's colder, sharper and untouchable. A man built from silence and control. Elara has grown too. She's stronger, calmer, and dangerously unaware of the way Adrian looks at her now. What starts as resentment turns into tension. And tension turns into a lie neither of them planned. Fake dating was supposed to be temporary. Safe. Harmless. But some lies blur too easily. Some touches linger too long. And some loves are powerful enough to destroy friendships, break rules, and ruin everything in their path. Because loving him was never the plan. And wanting her... was his greatest weakness. ~~~~ 𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆... 𝒈𝒐 𝒐𝒏. 𝑻𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒆. 𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚'𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒏.

Six years later, they meet again, not as the boy and girl who once believed love could fix everything, but as the man who built an empire and the woman who learned to build walls. Veer Malhotra has everything: power, control, success. Except the one person who once made all of it mean something. Manvi Kapoor thought she was over him. Until one look, one touch, and every carefully buried emotion starts to bleed through again. He still loves her. She still hates him for it. Because sometimes love doesn't fade, It just waits for the right moment to hurt again. 𝘼 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙬-𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣❟ 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙-𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚❟ 𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚❟ 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙨❟ 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚｡
