Love's first breath

Book - 4 (Best friends series)
KABIR X SHREYA

He was the mafia king who never showed his heart.
She was the police officer who always did.

She confessed twice.
He denied twice.
But destiny never stopped writing their story.

Kabir Malhotra-cold, controlled, and carved from power-learned early that love was a weakness a mafia heir could never afford.
So when his best friend, his only softness, Shreya Saxena, confessed her feelings...
once at seventeen,
and again at twenty...
Kabir broke her heart with the same words both times:

"Our worlds are different."

Years later, she returns as Officer Shreya Saxena-stronger, sharper, and determined to erase him from her heart.

But Kabir?
Kabir has never learned to breathe without her.

When an attack forces them back into each other's lives, their buried feelings ignite-dangerously, desperately.
She tries to walk away.
He tries to let her go.
But fate keeps pulling them back together... breath by breath.

Because love that starts in childhood?
It never dies.
It just waits-quietly-until someone takes the first breath.
