What begins as a heated rivalry with her brother's best friend quickly spirals into something far more dangerous - an intoxicating, no-strings-attached arrangement where neither can afford to fall. Manik wants lust. Nandini longs for love. But when pride and passion collide, will they break through their walls - or break each other apart? Step into this fiery enemies-to-lovers, enemies-with-benefits romance where love battles ego, and only the bravest hearts survive.

Previously known as 'THERE FOR EACH OTHER' "And when my eyes fell on you, I realised that all I ever needed in life, To flourish and to bloom, Was you". Nandini Murthy isn't someone too keen about love because well, responsibilities, or maybe she uses that as a shield to stay away from love. She had never gotten her heart broken before, but the fear of love, is still firm in her heart. Manik Malhotra is too keen to love. Fairy tales and romantic comedies are his to go to escape. He wants to feel every damn emotion love brings with it. But does the Dawn and Dusk ever coexist?

Two years ago, Nandini's husband, Parth Malhotra, left for a business trip... and never came back. She didn't search for him. She didn't cry for him. Because deep down, she knew-he never loved her. For two years, she rebuilt her life, buried her past, and learned to live with the truth: Parth abandoned her. But one night, he returns. Everyone believes it's Parth. His mother welcomes him with open arms. His younger brother is suspicious but silent. And Nandini... she's left staring at the man she once called her husband, feeling something dangerously different. Because the man who came back is not Parth. He wears the same face. He carries the same name. But when he looks at her, his gaze is darker, deeper, and filled with something Parth never had-possession. Who is he? Why has he taken her husband's place? And most importantly... why does she feel drawn to him? A story of mystery, obsession, and a love that was never meant to exist. He returned... but he wasn't the man she married.

How will the future be framed when the one you love is on dead bed.... Peep in to know !
