FATE ( Part 1 )

"Oh my God, Ishaan! You smoke? Mtlb Aapko lung cancer ho gaya kya?!"

Ishaan clenched his jaw. "Roshini-"

"Ab toh bas chemotherapy ka option bacha hai!" She dramatically wiped a fake tear.

Ishaan groaned, unable to take it anymore. In one swift motion, he leaned forward, closing the space between them. Roshini's breath hitched.

The playfulness in her eyes faded as she suddenly became aware of how close he was. His sharp features were just inches away, the warmth of his breath mingling with hers.

Ishaan smirked, voice dangerously low. "Agar main cigarette peeta, toh tumhe ab tak uski smell nahi aa jati, Roshini?"

Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out.

He leaned in just a little more, enough to see her gulp nervously. Eyeing her up and down he said, "Aur waise bhi... mujhe addiction sirf ek hi cheez ki hai. Aur woh cigarette nahi hai."

--------------

ISHAAN SINGH RAJAWAT - 27.
The ruthless CEO the world fears. Handsome, arrogant, and dangerously charming. They call him the Devil-a man who walks through life with a heart sealed shut and a soul drenched in darkness. His love is a storm, his silence is louder than chaos. He's sweet only for those he calls family... and bitter to the rest of the world.

ROSHINI MALHOTRA - 24.
A firecracker wrapped in innocence. A middle-class girl with dreams too big for the world to handle. She's clumsy, outspoken, and unapologetically herself. A mess of emotions, laughter, and unpredictable charm. Her heart speaks louder than her mind-and trouble always seems to follow.

He's darkness.
She's light.
He believes in control.
She thrives in chaos.
They were never meant to cross paths... but fate had other plans.

Will love bloom in the shadows of pain?
Or will destiny tear them apart before their story even begins?
When fire meets ice-will it melt... or burn?
