Elixir To His Heart

She never expected his eyes to hold so much grief.
He never expected her touch to feel like home.

Veer Malhotra didn't ask to be understood-but she saw through him anyway. Past the perfection, the power, the ice.

And maybe that's what scared him the most.
Because Naina Sharma wasn't supposed to matter.
She wasn't supposed to stay long enough to see the broken pieces he'd buried so well.

But she did.
And now, she's the only truth in a life full of secrets.
He's falling. Slowly. Helplessly.
And for the first time, he's terrified it might be real.
