Choose," Vikram's voice echoed, cold and unforgiving. "Your company or your wife."

His fingers trembled around the cold steel of the gun. Ansh had always been a man of logic, a strategist who calculated risks and gains. But now, faced with this impossible choice, his heart waged war against his mind.

The company-the empire he had built from sweat and sacrifice-exited like a mountain before him. It represented power, wealth, and influence. Kanika-she was his heart, the reason he breathed.

Ansh's eyes held resignation. He had made his choice-the one that would haunt him forever. He stepped closer, the gun's muzzle against Kanika's temple.

"Betrayer never stands a place in our lives " he whispered

"I love you," she whispered, but love was no match for the weight of his decision. The gunshot tore through her, not just physically but emotionally. Ansh had shattered her trust, leaving her broken and bleeding.

The gunshot echoed through the room, shattering not just Kanika's trust but also their love. Ansh had chosen his company, and in that choice, he had betrayed her. Kanika wondered if love could survive such brutality. Or if, in the end, it was all just an illusion-a mirage in a desert of broken promises.


Love or betrayal?

Consumption of betrayals.
 
Internal betrayal? 

Yes! 

Will they be overcome?

Or 

Will it overcome them??? 

Buckle up your seats to witness their internal betrayals.

"I don't love you," I declare, my voice steady but my resolve wavering. He smiled at me, though his expression was tinged with pain, tears pooling in the depths of his eyes. "I knew it, you still love me so much." I was rendered speechless by his declaration, my efforts to conceal my emotions proving futile as he effortlessly deciphered the truth written in my eyes. "Say it, just once, that you love me, my Sweetheart. Just once, please," he pleaded. I finally surrendered, tears misting my own eyes as all rational thoughts scattered, "I love you. I never stopped loving you." "And I love you infinitely more," he declared, leaning closer towards my lips. I placed a trembling hand over his mouth, halting him in his tracks, and shook my head slowly. "We can't. It's wrong. We can't betray our partners." *** Two hearts, torn apart by the cruel hand of fate, find themselves face to face after 4 long years. Once college sweethearts, they have now transformed into business partners. People have come and gone, circumstances have shifted, choices have been made, and personalities have evolved.

"Rudra Malhotra naam toh suna hoga ?" Rudra is the epitome of charisma-outgoing, charming, and unabashedly playful. He has an infectious laugh and a quick wit that makes him the life of the party. 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.

"Never trust a man with desire" Ruhanika Mehra is short-tempered and strong-headed, not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for herself. 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. She can be fiercely protective and caring towards them. ""Rooh!" The silence was deafening. No response, no movement. I snapped open my eyes, scanning the room frantically. That's when I saw it - the bloodstain on the bed sheet. My mind reeled as memories of last night flooded back. "Rudra, make me yours." Ruhanika's whispered plea echoed in my mind. "You complete me, Rooh." My own words haunted me. I clutched my head, feeling like I was losing my grip on reality. Where was she? I spun around, my gaze locking onto the dressing table mirror. A note was stuck to the glass. I snatched it, my hands trembling. "We can't be together." Ruhanika. I stared blankly at the note, my mind reeling. Why would Ruhanika leave without a word? 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 ?

Including the plan she discussed to nab him. "Oh that! Don't bother. Even your phone is tapped." She shuddered with unyielding nervousness as his hand slid around her waist. Her lips became glued when he came nearer, and he rested his head on her shoulder. "I am not like those men in the films you watched in your childhood. We are married. As my wife, you must fulfil my needs. I don't care whether you love me or not. I won't lie by promising to give you time to settle." "I hate you.
