She is the chirpiest little bird and he is the darkest cloud you see. He is angered easily and she is calm as the breeze. She smiles more than she walks, and he frowns more than he talks. He loves darkness, and she is found in the light. Two opposite souls get caught in the most beautifully cruel game of life.

Nandini Murthy, a 20-year-old intern at a bustling copywriting firm, is known for her charm and the effortless way she makes friends wherever she goes. But there's one person she hasn't quite managed to break through with-Manik Malhotra. At 23, Manik is sharp, well-spoken, and maintains a professional distance, his words always precise and few. Despite his strong reputation in the office, there's an undeniable tension between him and Nandini, a quiet undercurrent of something more lurking beneath their brief, minimal exchanges. What is it that keeps them so apart yet so drawn together?

He was danger wrapped in desire. She knew better -but still stepped closer. He didn't want love. He wanted control. She made him lose it. One look. One touch. And it was over.

And after finding 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘯𝘦, his aim was not to get her love, but to give her the happiness and justice she deserves. --- ♡ --- "That's the thing, I only know, how to run." He smiled a little at her before taking a step closer yet at a comfortable distance. "Ok then, don't run where i can't follow. i'll let you bring me anywhere-far from home, far from the places and people i love, so long as you stay with me. i'll let you walk into danger and through hell, but i will not let you go where i can't go with you. that is where i draw the line." Nandini was dumbstruck, again. She looked at him speechless, how does everytime this man says the exact words which her heart has been craving to hear but no-one said them to her.

She was rude but cute. He was sweet but clumsy. She was a bad girl. He was just an average boy. One night. One wrong move and... Click 'read' and know it yourself.

The day I laid my eyes on her, she was mine and only mine. ~ Manik Your existence changes my world like magic. ~Nandini ~Only mine

For him she was his one and only love, at least that's how he felt. For her he was just her best friend, at least that's what she thought. He loved her. And she loved someone else.
