🔥 Burn Like Us
by EchoDrafts
Aarya Verma has rules, ranks, and routines. Reyan Malhotra has smirks, sarcasm, and secrets. The only thing they share? A seat in the front row-and an unmatched hatred for each other.
When they're forced to partner for a final-year project, school becomes a battlefield. He challenges her logic. She breaks his ego. Every hallway interaction is a verbal warzone. But beneath the insults, something simmers. Tension sharpens. Glances linger. And what starts as rivalry begins to burn into something neither of them saw coming.
But love never enters quietly.
Enemies. Rivals. Partners. Lovers?
If you thought academic rivalry couldn't set hearts on fire...
Watch them burn.

Olivia has lived by one rule since the day she swore vengeance for her father's death, trust no one. Cold, ruthless, and infamous for her sharp tongue, she's a blade in the dark who prefers to work alone. Her life depends on it. Damien is her opposite disciplined, calculating, and unwavering in his loyalty to the order that forged him. He sees Olivia as reckless, a liability who lets her temper lead. She sees him as arrogant, a man so blinded by duty that he's forgotten what freedom feels like. When a mission forces them to work together, sparks fly and not the good kind. Every step is a battle of wills, every word an insult waiting to be thrown. But in the shadows of betrayal and bloodshed, something unexpected begins to grow between them. They only get a mission together every few months but they learn each other's scars. They see what no one else is allowed to. And slowly, against every instinct they've sharpened into survival, they fall. But love between assassins is forbidden.

It's a test of loyalty, desire, and how far they're willing to go to protect each other in a world where love is the sharpest betrayal of all.Complete
