She didn't believe in fate. He believed in nothing else.
Rhea Sharma has her life mapped down to the decimal-college goals, calculated friendships, and absolutely no time for distractions, especially not ones with the charming smiles and god complexes.
Aarav Malhotra? He is the distraction.
Golden boy of Silver Oak High. Football Captian. Cathes scores as well as-hearts of half of the school.
But when he cathes her, sitting on the bleachers-with an uninterested face, he can't help but wonder that if fate's been playing the long game all along.
Her annoying stare at him, his grinning face towards her-all feels like an invisible red thread keeps pulling them back into each other's orbit, Or something dangerous: choice.
Because the real isn't whether they are fated souls.
It's whether they'll admit it before it's too late.
But wait-
It's not over yet!
Years later they meet again-no longer classmates but rivals. Both CEO, both successful.
One night changes their whole life. The night which stole her everything yet she found solace in his arms.
What will happen when they both will meet years after? What will be his reaction after finding her broken? Will he still love him? Will she break the walls once she built, just to say his name with love?

For swearing so freely or for making my day great by pouring on coffee." "For both, sorry, I can help you with a shirt or buy you a cup of coffee?" "No need, just walk with your open eyes.

Aadesh was expecting a soft romance. The one which he read about in books, the one which swept him off his feet and made him feel alive. The one that took his breath away. Instead, the new boy at school finds that his classmate was emotionally sponsored by Gotham city. His little devil did have the ability to take his breath away. Literally. The girl with the secrets she so desperately tries to hide. The girl with the blade she holds so lovingly against his neck. The girl who's blood spills as if it has a mind of its own, trying to lead astray the curious into forests with dangers she's curated herself.' He didn't want to be in her life, not with her secretive, psychopathic tendencies. Not with his heart beating out of his chest for reasons he couldn't fathom. But somehow, he was. And came with her the dream package. The guy who jokes like nothing matters, patches people up while inventing new expletives, and somehow always ends up right in the middle of things he claims he doesn't care about. The boy who believes in doing the "right thing," even when it's messy, inconvenient, and emotionally expensive, and still stands his ground like it's a personal religion. And that one doll. Soft edges and controlled silence, like satin wrapped around something sharp. She doesn't raise her voice, she doesn't need to. She moves people without them noticing they've been moved, leaves questions instead of answers, and somehow always stays just outside the reach of certainty. Aadesh Malhotra was expecting he'd live a normal life. But curiosity did kill the cat. (or that one time when wannabe golden retriever detective fell for the girl who could make 'good morning' sound mildly threatening.)

A flawless ice princess and the lion-boy narcissist who wants to melt her. Rhea Caldwell was cool, calm, and collected at all times. She thought she had everything under control. Not in the casual sense, literally. Her life was shaped with precision: perfect grades, a carefully mapped-out future career, and a circle of not-so-perfect girlfriends she chose anyway. But there was one thing she couldn't figure out. Her...bland sex life. Nothing excited her enough, nothing gave her that satisfaction she needed. Pleasure went out of the window, clouded by law school preparation until temptation pushed her toward an unlikely solution, one that became even more complicated when her "godlike" highschool now college academic rival offered to help. Cameron Pierson was as brilliant as her, and just as he was unbearably narcissistic. Arrogant, charming, infuriating and angelically attractive. He never belonged in her world, but somehow forcefully carved out a space in it anyway. And now with their friend groups mixing, he's closer than ever. She never planned to let him touch her but under the premise of one favor she does and everything shifts. βββββ±ββ°ββββ π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π β 1 Teach Me, Tempt Me β 2 Please Me, Tempt Me βοΈ 3 Ruse Me, Tempt Me βββββ±ββ°ββββ π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π #1 narcissism #1 golden boy #1 golden girl #1 rivalry #rivals to lovers βββββ±ββ°ββββ πππππππ: 2025/09/02 πππππππππ: 2025/ 11/12Complete
