The Chaos We Called LOVE by kandy7_official

In a cold city, on a rain-soaked day, two warm-hearted souls collide - and their first meeting is anything but gentle. He's handsome, charming, and adored - the national heartthrob and current chocolate boy of the Indian cricket team. Cricket is his first love, the only rhythm he's ever lived by. Until he meets her. She's the queen of her own world - a renowned CEO and CTO of one of India's most prestigious companies. A psychologist by birth and a technologist by heart, she believes in logic over love, in purpose over passion. To her, love is a myth... until destiny proves otherwise. If even their best friends carry such magnetic energy, imagine the storm when these two worlds collide. Have you ever believed in love at first sight? That rare, 90's kind of love we all secretly long for in the 21st century - the kind that feels impossible... until it happens. But what if it happens between two high-profile lives standing under different skies? He's the man every camera follows, yet haunted by one face. She's the woman the world admires, yet unknown in her own heart. Will he wait for the one who slipped away? Will she ever remember the man who changed her silence? Can love survive fame, distance, and reason itself? Sometimes, love doesn't arrive politely - it storms in, unexpected, uninvited, unforgettable. This is the story of a national hero and a soft-spoken, introverted psychologist-turned-tech leader - two opposites who weren't searching for love, but found it in the chaos of silence. Their fates crossed once in the rain. What follows is everything that silence never dared to say.

READ FULL BEFORE STARTING THE STORY: TW: This book is written lightly, but has also some really serious themes that I want you to know about before reading. It talks about abuse and there are some scenes where a character is having a panic attack. If this is too close for you and you don't feel comfortable reading things like that then It might be best to not start reading /genuine <3 I want you to know before reading that this is a book with a good ending! I'm saying this because I know how devastating it is for some people after reading a story all night. If you've made it this far, thank you for reading! Much hugs to everyone:)
