I tried to get away from his dangerous grip but it got more tighter. I gave up fighting and his artistic hands cupped my cheeks and pulled closer for a kiss. As our breaths mingled I questioned him, "Is it all for my body?" He smirked, "Its for your body and more." with that he claimed my lips, body and soul. ...

Manik Malhotra had everything. Wealth. Fame. Power. A loving wife. Two beautiful children. And then he destroyed it all himself. Once deeply in love with his high school sweetheart Soha, Manik thought that chapter of his life had ended forever. Years later, he married Nandini Murthy through an arranged marriage - and unexpectedly found a love far greater, calmer, and realer than anything he had known before. Together they built a beautiful life. Until Soha returned. One mistake became betrayal. Betrayal became destruction. And destruction cost Manik everything. A wife who once worshipped him. A daughter who grew up fearing love. A son who never called him father. Parents who died disappointed. And a family that learned how to live happily without him. This is not a story about redemption. This is a story about consequences. Because some betrayals don't just break hearts. They ruin generations.

Some loves are meant to last forever. Some betrayals leave scars that never heal. Manik Malhotra and Nandini Murthy seemed unstoppable - a couple bound by love, trust, and a shared life that others envied. But when a single lie, carefully planted and cunningly timed, shatters their world, everything they believed in comes crashing down. Hearts break. Bonds fracture. And the woman Manik thought he knew is suddenly gone. Five years later, their lives have diverged, but the past refuses to stay buried. Secrets linger in the shadows, memories of love haunt every corner, and a single truth waits to be uncovered - one that could either destroy them completely or finally bring them back together. A story of love, betrayal, and the path to redemption. A journey where trust is tested, hearts are broken, and forgiveness might be the only way to survive.

When Nandini met Manik for the first time, she never wanted him to be 'the one'; or actually, that thought didn't even cross her mind. And for Manik, it was no different. She was a potato faced annoying girl whom he just couldn't stand. He was the player. She was the girl next door. She was a gorgeous geek. He was a hot mess. But ever wondered what would happen when their fates will entwine, and they'd get stuck up with each other, in the very same house- not for a day, not for a month, but much longer. Maybe six months? Or maybe even a year? Maybe. One house. Two Roommates. And a love story written by their stars, and sealed by the fireflies. ~ | < 'they loved a love more than love' > | ~ Stars ~ A MaNan FF.
