First Love
She hadn't meant to be noticed. Delhi was supposed to be simple, a new college, a rented room, and a life that finally felt like her own. No relatives asking questions. No expectations wrapped in concern. Just space. And then there was Advay Arora. The boy who moved through life with quiet precision, composed, disciplined, always a step ahead. The kind who didn't get distracted. The kind who didn't look twice. She wasn't supposed to cross his path. He wasn't supposed to matter. But some connections don't arrive loudly. They happen in libraries. In accidental conversations. In shared silences that feel a little too comfortable. And sometimes... they follow you home. Because somewhere between restraint and unspoken curiosity, something begins to grow. Not in grand confessions. Not in dramatic declarations. But in glances. In pauses. In everything they don't say.

She wasn't searching for love. He wasn't ready for peace. But fate had other plans. After years of being everyone's pillar, everyone's "Di," and everyone's afterthought, Anjali Singh Raizada quietly steps away from the noise of Delhi, the weight of her surname, and the echoes of a life built around others. With her brothers happily married and her heart long bruised by betrayal, she wants nothing now but peace - her own name, a simple job, and mornings filled with chai and silence. Then came the slap. To protect a frightened teenager, Anjali strikes a stranger in a moment of mistaken fury. What she doesn't know is that the man she slapped is - a ruthless billionaire, a storm in human form, and the protective elder brother of the very boy she tried to save. Fate, it seems, has a twisted sense of humor. A family she never expected. A love she never asked for. And a peace she never believed she deserved.
