Tangled destiny - The beginning [COMPLETE ✅]

Keyansh (without looking at her):
"You're the only one real enough to pull it off."

Aditi scoffs, about to say something back-when suddenly-

Keyansh turns to her, steps closer. His voice drops to a whisper.

Keyansh:
"Trust me just once. Can you do that?"

Aditi opens her mouth, but before she can speak-Keyansh leans in and...

Kisses her.

At first, her eyes go wide.

Her hands lift to push him away.

But she doesn't.

Because he kisses her like he means it.

Not a gentle peck. Not a fake kiss. A full, slow, burning kiss that starts soft and gets deeper, more intense - as if he's waited for this. As if he wants this. His hand slides to her jaw, tilting her face slightly, deepening it further.

She feels the warmth spread through her body like wildfire.

His other hand rests lightly on her waist, firm but not forceful.

Her fingers, still unsure, clutch the fabric of his jacket.

The world disappears-no traffic, no Riya, no noise-just the taste of his breath, the way he fits against her, the thudding chaos in her chest.

When he pulls back, their foreheads touch.

They're both breathing hard.

Aditi (barely audible):
"You... didn't have to kiss me like that."

Keyansh (voice low, intense):
"That wasn't for her. That was for me."

Aditi stares at him, stunned.

Riya (furious):
"You're insane. Both of you."

Keyansh (turning to Riya, dead serious):
"Exactly. So don't come near me again."

Riya storms off, heels clicking angrily down the street.

There's silence.

Only streetlights humming, cold wind brushing past.

Aditi (still breathless):
"Was that part of the act too?"

Keyansh (leaning close, whispering in her ear):
"You tell me, Aditi. Did it feel like acting?"
