Across Lifetimes BL

In a world ruled by crowns, customs, and cruel affections, Salman was only a quiet scholar in the Durbar of Raja Indra Singh-destined to serve, never to be seen. He loved the crown prince Aaryan Singh in silence, his feelings both a balm and a curse. But Aaryan, beautiful and brutal, toyed with his devotion like a careless prince plucking petals from a flower. The final blow came when Salman was gifted-like property-to another prince, in return for Aaryan's marriage alliance with Princess Priyagni. On that cursed night, Salman poisoned himself under the stars, wishing never to cross Aaryan's path again in this life or the next.

But the universe has its own cruel sense of humour.

Reborn in modern-day New Zealand, Salman is a school tutor, quietly nurturing the lives of others while nursing wounds that span lifetimes. His tranquil life is disrupted when he meets Aaryan again-this time, as the arrogant, devastatingly charming elder son of the family he works for. What begins as déjà vu soon descends into another heartbreak, as a cruel bet leaves Salman shattered once more.

Years later, fate forces them back together at a wedding, where amidst mehendi and memories, they're unwillingly bound again-accidentally married. What starts as reluctant cohabitation unfolds into something intimate and devastating. Their love-if it ever was love-seems to bloom only under storms and unravel in the light. Especially when ghosts of the past return in the form of Priyagni, a forged letter, and truths Salman was never meant to know.

Can two souls twisted by lifetimes of pain untangle in this one?

Or are they cursed to repeat history... until one of them breaks?
