Avani is running out of time-or at least that's what the society and her family tells her. Over 30 and not married. Not even close.
In fact, recently dumped and very heartbroken.
Not the conventional beauty with petite figure and perfect face, which unfortunately the marriage market demands, she sets out to lose the extra kilos and get the skin treatments which the beauty influencers are raving about.
Just one glitch. On her first day of gym she encounters her college bully, Vihaan Mehta. Devastatingly handsome and equally cruel, Vihaan never left a chance to torment Avani, making her college life a living hell.
Now 8 years later, he still can't seem to leave her alone.

"It's been so long, isn't it Berry?" He says to me. I hate that freaking nickname.
"Eight years," I mutter unconsciously.
"Eight long years without seeing you," he states like he was deprived of his right. The way his hooded eyes regard me makes my heart jump, taking me back to college days.
