Romance
He lied. He cheated. And he left her shattered. Alina should hate Ayaan forever. But when a wedding invite drags her back to Bangalore. To the chaos she thought she'd escaped, the past claws its way back. Then Aariz shows up. Dark. Magnetic. And the only man who makes her pulse race and her mind spiral. Forced into a fake relationship to silence nosy relatives, every glance, every brush of skin between them sparks a dangerous game neither wants to lose. Determined to take back control of her life, Alina returns to Chicago, ready to win the one thing that could change everything: an elite leadership fellowship and valedictorian title, her golden ticket to top startup investors and real power. Only to find Aariz in her class. Older. Wealthier. And her fiercest rival. The guy who doesn't need the prize, but wants it just as badly. His plan? Distract her. Break her focus. Steal her #1 spot in class. What he didn't plan for? Wanting her more than the win. They hate each other with a passion louder than their silence. He's cold, calculated, and dangerous in ways she shouldn't crave. She's fire, and he's the one who keeps getting burned. Torn between a past that broke her and a present that could destroy her, Alina's done being anyone's victim. This time? She's taking it all. Her heart, her future, her power. And if either of them thinks she'll fall again? They're dead wrong. No promises. No mercy. Just a war for the top, and a chemistry that could burn them both to the ground.
