She raised her hands only to slap him and shut his mouth from saying more harsh words to her. "Don't you dare think that, Samantha," he said, holding her hands tightly. "Let me go, Abhimaan!" she shouted. "Then, why the fuck did you marry me? You are nothing more than a gold digger."

Junoon Meri.
She wasn't looking for him. But the universe had other plans. Abhimanyu Malhotra - sharp edges, quiet storms, and a gaze that never lets her breathe. He wasn't supposed to matter. He wasn't supposed to follow. And yet... everywhere she turns, there he is. One brush of fingers ignites something she can't name. One overheard promise shatters everything she thought she knew. And now, trapped between family ties and desires she shouldn't feel... She realizes this isn't just fate. This is Abhimanyu - relentless, unyielding, and already deep under her skin. Walking away isn't freedom. It's impossible. Tropes: * Possessive ML * Slow-Burn Romance (not extreme) * Flirty Banter * "Accidental" Meetings * Wedding Drama * Secret/Promise
