A broken girl. A reckless dare. And a love that was never supposed to happen...
Maaya Kapoor has nothing - no money, no family, no name. Just a scholarship and dreams too quiet for a world that never notices her.
Shaurya Shekhawat has everything - power, wealth, and a heart sealed shut. He hates weakness. And girls like Maaya? He doesn't even see them.
Until a cruel dare forces him to get close to her.
It starts as a game. A bet. A joke.
But what happens when fake feelings start to feel real?
Because you can fake interest.
You can fake friendship.
But you can't fake what grows beneath it all.
