Highangst storie

He was fire. She was peace. And fate forced their worlds to collide. Aviraj wanted revenge, nothing else. Myra wanted a normal life,nothing more. But innocence doesn't save you when destiny chains you to the wrong man. In a story where love grows in the shadows of hatred, and revenge burns hotter than desire, two broken hearts crash into each other, changing the ruin meant for revenge into something neither of them was prepared for. When Hearts Collide is where vengeance begins... and love rewrites the ending.

Advait Mann and Meher Kapoor were never meant to coexist- let alone fall in love. At the prestigious Delhi Institute of Elite Studies, they were known for one thing: their rivalry. Cold glares, sharp words, and a hatred so intense that it became impossible to ignore. But fate had a twisted sense of humor. When their families decide to turn an old friendship into a lifelong bond, Advait and Meher are forced into an arrangement neither of them wants- an engagement that feels more like a punishment than a promise. Living under the same expectations, fighting the same battles, and slowly discovering the cracks behind each other's perfect facades... hate begins to blur. What starts as a war of egos turns into something far more dangerous- feelings. But love was never simple for them. With broken pasts, unhealed wounds, and truths that threaten to tear them apart, they must decide- Do they hold on to the hate that kept them safe? Or risk everything for a love they never believed in?
