Hate me, Hold me
Roop Menon never expected her new job at Malhotra Multicare Hospital to come with a side dish of chaos-and definitely not in the form of two impossibly magnetic twin brothers. One is all soft smiles and quiet stares. The other? Leather jackets, bruised knuckles, and a glare that could set off fire alarms. Vihaan Malhotra is the charming younger twin-glasses perched on his nose, always ready with a gentle joke or cup of coffee when her day turns hellish. Aaryan Malhotra is the older one-the infuriating CEO who never wears a suit, never says more than necessary, and somehow knows exactly how to push all her buttons. And Roop? She's smack in the middle. Fighting them. Fighting herself. Fighting the war between rage and... something dangerously close to desire. But the more she learns about the brothers, the more tangled things get. Secrets start surfacing. Loyalties get tested. And the walls Roop built around her heart? They're starting to crack. ~~ "He brings me calm," she whispered. "And you? You bring me storms I don't know how to survive."
