In the neon-drenched city of Iron Vale, corruption isn't a flaw-it's a way of life.

Once a symbol of prosperity, Iron Vale now thrives on the ambitions of the powerful and the despair of the weak. Mason Lockwood, a man burdened with questions and haunted by the city's dark truths, is determined to tear away the masks of the elite. Alongside his unpredictable ally, Caden Thorne, whose accent is as sharp as his wit, Mason navigates a world where justice is bought and morality is merely an illusion.

As they confront Draven Mordane, the city's enigmatic leader-a man of scientific genius and twisted morals-they must grapple with questions of loyalty, sacrifice, and the cost of survival. In a city where heroes are puppets and freedom is a façade, Mason and Caden must decide how far they're willing to go to awaken Iron Vale from its gilded nightmare.

A story of vengeance, self-discovery, and defiance in a city built on lies.

"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart. "Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me. With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake. The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth. Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts... ✨ No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's. But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed. My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809. Arjun's bike. Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine! I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students." I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me. "Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck. "No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me. ✨ Ex-Crush: More than just a crush, but a little less than love. ✨ Arjun and Deepika were hopelessly in love-only they never realized it. Will they find their way to each other, or will their love story remain forever unfinished? ✨ Join Arjun and Deepika on a journey back to those dreamy college days-days where every moment felt eternal, love was unspoken yet ever present, where friendship bloomed like wildflowers, offering a sanctuary from the harsh winds of reality. Come, wander with them through the corridors of college days, where the echoes of laughter still linger.
