Fire & Ice : A saga of trust and devotion by thatmiraclepen

His flirty nature often leads to playful banter and spontaneous adventures. Despite his carefree attitude, there is an underlying complexity to his personality; his charm often masks an inherent loneliness stemming from unresolved heartbreak.

She is determined and driven, always wanting to achieve her goals and dreams. However, she also has a soft side to her, especially when it comes to her loved ones.

What will happen when a girl who never believed in love and a boy who always craved for true love will collide with each other in such circumstances which forced them hate each other at first sight but still they can't deny the attraction,lust and desperation towards each other ?
