He was never loved. She was loved too much. Nikolai Sokolov grew up with empty arms and an emptier heart. An orphan who learned early that no one stays, he buried his need for love beneath a cold, ruthless exterior. Until Aarohi Rathore walked into his life. One meeting. One look. And suddenly, the woman everyone adored became the only thing Nikolai could think about. Aarohi saw the loneliness behind his darkness. She cared for him. She gave him the love he had spent his entire life craving-and with every gentle touch, every moment of kindness, she pulled him deeper into an obsession he could no longer control. She became his comfort. His weakness. His everything. And Nikolai has never been good at letting go of the things he loves. He can survive loneliness. He can survive hatred. He can survive anything... Except a life without Aarohi Rathore. Because when a man who has never been loved finally finds his home in someone- losing her isn't an option. This is my first story from my imagination hope everyone will like it.
