Behind the Velvet Veil

"He hates me. Or he wants me. Sometimes I can't tell the difference."

At St. Augustine's, India's most elite boarding school, secrets wear designer uniforms and smiles are just another kind of weapon.

Vivaan Kapoor is untouchable. A prince in Gucci shoes, the son of a Bollywood legend, and the center of every whisper. He knows how to perform-on screen, in public, even in bed.

Rayan is the invisible one. A scholarship student with sharp eyes and no patience for rich boys with fake charm and hungry stares.

They were supposed to avoid each other.
But then there was a rooftop, a dare, and a night that changed everything.

Now there's tension in every hallway.
Eyes that linger too long.
Hands that almost touch.
And a dead student no one's talking about.

Vivaan is hiding something.
Rayan is already too deep.
And someone in this school wants them both silenced.

This isn't just a love story.
It's a lie wrapped in desire, soaked in blood, and whispered through locked doors.
