Lia Kapoor lives her life like a perfectly written symphony measured, precise, every note exactly where it belongs. A violin prodigy with a reputation for discipline and grace, she has no time for chaos, distractions... or boys who think rules are optional.
Enter Arjun Malhotra. The free-spirited guitarist who plays with passion instead of practice, who laughs at the idea of perfection, and who believes the best music is born from the heart, not the sheet. He's everything Lia can't stand and everything she secretly can't ignore.
When a twist of fate forces them into the same music program, sparks fly louder than any melody. What begins as rivalry turns into something far more complicated late night arguments that sound a lot like confessions, stolen glances between clashing notes, and a connection that neither of them planned.
But Lia has secrets she can't let slip, and Arjun carries scars he hides behind his smile. In the end, their greatest challenge won't be the music they make together it'll be learning to trust the rhythm of each other's hearts.

Yours, Since Childhood
🕊️ Bound by Memories, Claimed by Fate Can be read as a standalone. ✦•···············•✦ '•°• Once Her Brother's Best Friend, Now Her Greatest Temptation •°•' [✨ "He was her childhood chaos, her teenage comfort... and her adult heartbreak." ✨] Arjun Malhotra At 22, he's everything he once dreamed of - a rising neurosurgeon, calm, composed, and untouchable. But beneath that practiced calm lies the same storm that once surrounded a certain girl - Jayasri Vanapalli. The girl who grew up chasing him around the playground, the one who laughed too easily, cared too deeply... and unknowingly became the center of his world. He promised himself he'd let her go. But when fate brings him back, and she's no longer the little girl who hid behind her brother - the feelings he buried start to surface again, darker and deeper than before. "I thought distance would cure it. But every time someone looks at you, I burn all over again." Jayasri Vanapalli Nineteen, soft-hearted, quiet, and impossibly observant. Life without Arjun and Aditya was dull - until it wasn't. She's stronger now, more independent... but her heart still flutters at the memory of a smile that once meant safety. And when Arjun returns - distant, possessive, and confusingly gentle - her world begins to twist between what's right and what her heart refuses to forget. "He looks at me like I'm still the little girl he used to protect... But his eyes tell a different story now." A story of childhood bonds turned forbidden, of unspoken promises, jealousy, and fate's cruel timing. Because some connections don't fade with time - they only grow harder to hide. 💔 Will Arjun protect her from the world... or from himself? 💫 And when love crosses the line of reason, who really wins - the heart, or fate? ✦•···············•✦ All Rights Reserved © Written by @midnightpetals
