shadows of us

Title: Shadows of us

Arjun and Irina were once inseparable childhood best friends, bound by a secret promise-whether to reunite at a specific place when they grew up or to always find their way back to each other. But before they could fulfill it, fate intervened.

A tragic incident forced Arjun to leave the country. On the night before his departure, disaster struck-a fire, an accident, or perhaps even a kidnapping attempt. He was injured, and the trauma erased all memories of Irina and that fateful night. His family, determined to protect him, buried the past, never speaking of it again.

Years later...

Now a successful businessman, Arjun arrives in St. Petersburg for a high-stakes deal, unaware that his past is about to catch up with him. Enter Irina Volkov-a confident, enigmatic woman who seems strangely familiar yet utterly unknown.

But Irina remembers everything. She never forgot the boy who once meant the world to her. Nor did she forgive him for breaking their promise-not realizing he had no choice. For years, she searched for him. Now that she's finally found him, she refuses to reveal the truth. Instead, she will make him remember.

So, she offers him a proposition:

"Spend 365 days with me, and I'll give you something money can't buy-your forgotten past."

Will Arjun uncover the truth hidden in the shadows of his lost memories? Or will the past remain a mystery, buried beneath time and unspoken words?
