When Honey Turns Bitter

Prologue

When honey turns bitter, even sweetness scars the tongue.

Revenge
that was the fire keeping Arjun Rathore Mehra alive.

An orphan turned billionaire, he learned that love was a lie and trust a blade. Power wasn't enough. For his enemy Raj Malhotra sharma, Arjun needed something crueler: Raj's daughter, Aarohi.

Twenty years old. Blue eyes like oceans. A fragile girl who believed in fairytales. Arjun gave her soft words, tender smiles, and promises under the stars. She surrendered her trust, her laughter, her innocence.

For her, it was love.
For him, it was a weapon.

Then her world shattered.

"I never loved you, Aarohi. You were just my game. My bed. My weapon."

Her father's slap burned her skin, her mother's silence sealed her fate. Alone and disgraced, she left behind two trembling words:
"Forgive me."

Arjun didn't look back.
In his mind, she would heal.
Arjun thought nothing of it. The project was his. Revenge complete.

Until fate punished him.

On a crowded street, he saw her again wearied, rough-handed, whispers trailing her:

"Carrying a bastard... no better than a whore."

Tears fell. And then he saw her belly seven months heavy.
Every insult she suffered, every tear she shed was because of him. His revenge had left her alone with a burden she never deserved: a child without a father's name or protection.

And in that moment, his triumph turned to ash.
That was when honey turned bitter.

The project was his.
But the price was her.

Some wounds never fade.
Some sins never find redemption.
Some loves cannot survive the moment when honey turns bitter.

Because the cruelest truth is this:
once honey turns bitter, it can never be sweet again.

❝Has Arjun already lost her forever?
Is he too late to mend what he destroyed?
Or is fate already written in poison?
Can even the bitterest honey still hold a trace of sweetness... if only she lets him in?❞
