Don't expect life to give you everything you ask for.
Because it doesn't.
In fact, it has a cruel way of taking away your most prized possessions and sometimes, it does so in the most painful way possible.
Aashi Bedi has learned not to ask for too much.
She likes her quiet life, her little routines, and the distance she keeps between herself and anything that might have the power to hurt her.
So falling for Kairav Kashyap was never part of the plan.
Especially when he's the kind of man who makes staying away from him harder than it should be.
Kairav is composed, sharp, and annoyingly difficult to read. Aashi knows she shouldn't let herself get attached, and she certainly shouldn't fall for the quiet moments, the lingering glances, or the way he seems to notice things she wishes he wouldn't.
So she fights it.
The attraction. The feelings. And Him.
Because sometimes, wanting someone is easy.
Letting yourself have them is the dangerous part.
And just when Aashi begins to wonder if she can finally allow herself to love again, the past she thought she'd left behind begins finding its way back into her life.
Some stories begin with love. Some begin with a wound. And some were always meant to become both.
But some pasts don't stay buried.
And when hers finds its way back, it doesn't just haunt her present. It destroys it in the cruelest way possible, leaving behind nothing but pain, broken promises, and bleeding hearts.
