"How... how could you be so evil?" she whispered in disbelief, her voice cracking like fragile glass. "Itne pathar dil kese ho sakte ho?"

When 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙣 𝙈𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙧𝙖, a grounded, sharp-witted boxer from Bihar, earns a scholarship to Ravenford, he expects nothing more than a chance to study, fight, and build a better life. What he doesn't expect is 𝙃𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙈𝙚𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙧𝙖 𓂃۶ৎ He's grumpy but sunshine when it comes to her. She's cold but newly emotional because of him. He falls first, she denies, and heartbreak finds them long before any confession. She teaches him the world he never knew; he makes her crave the homeland she barely remembers. But behind their growing bond, the Mehrotra family is secretly playing games to control power, inheritance, and the future of the university. Heirs and Heartstrings mixes royal college romance, mystery, fun moments, and a rich-girl/poor-boy love story. It is about two people who meet too soon, get hurt too early, but still end up loving each other deeply. --------------------- In Phase I of H&H, you'll get all the heartfelt moments-soft confessions, stolen glances, and the first sparks of a love that quietly grows deeper, like a flame learning how to breathe. But by the end, Phase I becomes the calm before the storm. It sets the stage for a completely opposite Phase II-one built on deception and desire, tangled lies and buried family secrets, where every truth hits like a sudden crack in the glass.

She loved him when she was too young to understand what love meant. He rejected her when he was too guarded to feel anything at all. On her eighteenth birthday, she confessed her heart to the man she had loved for years-her brother's best friend. His rejection was cold. Precise. Unforgettable. "You're not the girl I desire." Five years later, fate brings them face to face again-not as a girl with a foolish crush, but as a woman ready for marriage... to someone else. This time, he doesn't return to reject her. He returns to marry her. She no longer asks for his love. She no longer waits to be chosen. Yet his sudden yes feels more dangerous than his past rejection ever did. Once, she begged him to see her. Now he claims her without love. And she fears that becoming his wife will hurt far more than the day he told her she was not the girl he desired.

Chachi was crying uncontrollably while Mom tried to console her, whispering soft words that clearly weren't helping. On the bed lay the bridal lehenga-perfectly arranged, untouched... as if the bride had simply vanished from the moment. A strange uneasiness crept into my chest. "Chachi... what happened? And where is Lavanya?" I asked, my eyes searching the room, hoping she would suddenly walk out from somewhere laughing. Mom looked at me, her eyes red. "Lavanya... ran away." For a moment, the world seemed to fall silent. Ran away? The words echoed in my mind like a cruel joke. Just last night she had smiled at me, telling me she was happy. How could she disappear like this on the day of her wedding? Before I could process the shock, Chachu suddenly stepped forward. And then he did something that made my breath hitch. He folded his hands in front of me. "Shivanya... please do your chachu a favor. Please marry Abhimaan." My heart stopped. "Chachu... I- I can't do that," I said, stepping back, shaking my head in disbelief. "This is wrong. And what about him? How can I-" "He has already agreed," Papa said softly from behind me. I turned toward him, stunned. "He... what?" "He said yes," Papa continued gently. "Our reputation, our honor... everything lies in your hands now. Trust me, beta. He will keep you happy." Happy? The word felt strangely hollow. Because the truth was far more complicated. She wanted to walk away from every memory of him... every moment that once shattered her heart. Yet destiny, with a twisted smile, was pushing her toward the same man she once swore to forget. Was it truly destiny's plan... or someone else pulling the
