In His Shadows
Kiara is a quiet girl with a loud heart-organized, thoughtful, and secretly caught in a hopeless crush on Aarush, the charming classmate who barely knows her name. With her closest friend cheering her on, Kiara dreams of bold confessions and picture-perfect moments. But love, she'll learn, rarely follows the script. Sitting beside her in class is Vivaan-silent, composed, unnoticed. He watches Kiara the way no one else does, memorizing her routines, understanding her silences, and falling for her in a way that's patient, protective, and quietly obsessive. He doesn't chase attention. He just stays. As Kiara stumbles through awkward conversations, growing doubts, and broken expectations, it's Vivaan who offers support in small, unforgettable ways. But when truths unravel and intentions collide, Kiara is forced to face the one question she's been avoiding: Was love ever in the spotlight, or has it been sitting beside her all along? A slow-burn college romance about overlooked devotion, messy hearts, and the quiet power of being truly seen.Complete
