*A world where love itself wears a mask.*
Where revenge and obsession meets. The masquerade begins.
She wants something the last refuses to forget.
He wants HER.
One childhood set his heart ablaze with obsession.
Another left hers burning with a fire of its own.
Now, both stand on opposite sides of a dangerous game woven with lies, manipulation, and hidden truths. Every smile is a mask. Every touch hides an intention. Every move is a step deeper into the masquerade.
But in a game where no one is innocent, who will win?
Who will get what they truly desire?
And when the masks finally fall.....who will be the one left broken?
No one is Saint.
No one is devil
....or maybe they are.
Dive into the story of Rivaan kapoor and Ira sehgal to find out who will win the battle of their own hearts-and who will become the pawn in the other's game.

The Heart's Unexpected Twist
In the dimly lit corners of a city, there are two souls, each bearing the weight of their own broken pasts, find solace in an unexpected connection. Sahil is a figure of quiet intensity, his dark, unruly hair and deep, brooding eyes hinting at the trauma that shadows his every step. Sahil's emotional scars run deep. His nights are plagued by relentless nightmares, leaving him distant and withdrawn. Despite his kindness and the longing for understanding, Sahil finds his solace alone comfortable, and at times, he shares fragments of his troubled past with those he trusts, though trust comes reluctantly. Shruti, with her gentle beauty and warm, expressive eyes, presents a quiet resilience beneath her composed exterior. Her soft black hair is often pulled back, and she favours practical, simple clothing, reflecting her desire for authenticity in a world that often judges harshly. Shruti's life has been marred by a traumatic past-an incident that left her vulnerable, leaving her tangled in a web of insecurities. Despite her hurt and the masks she wears to hide her true self, Shruti yearns for someone who will see her for who she truly is, and her heart, once open and hopeful, now guards a profound sadness. As Sahil and Shruti connect through the digital veil, their shared experiences of pain and struggle draw them closer. Sahil finds in Shruti a rare understanding, a mirror reflecting his own internal battles. For Shruti, Sahil represents a chance to be seen beyond her insecurities, though she remains haunted by her past traumas. Their connection is both a refuge and a challenge, with the potential to heal or to further unravel their fragile hearts. As they explore the depths of each other's pain and longing, the question remains: Can they find healing together, or will their pasts forever trap them in their own shadows?

Not Very Kaam Ka
Vivaan was hired to be efficient. Professional. Reliable. Then Kaynaat became his team lead... and productivity filed for emotional leave. At twenty-five, Vivaan joins a buzzing media company determined to prove he's responsible. Focused. Career-driven. Mature, even. On day one, he meets Kaynaat. Calm, composed, two years older, and completely unimpressed by his charm. Within minutes, every professional goal he ever had quietly packs its bags and leaves. Suddenly, he's volunteering for her projects, bringing her coffee he swears was an accident, and sulking whenever she praises someone else. The office thinks he's joking. Kaynaat thinks he's immature. The problem is, beneath all the theatrics, Vivaan keeps showing up. He stays late when deadlines pile up. Remembers the smallest details she forgets she mentioned. Makes everyone laugh when the day goes wrong. And on the rare occasions she's exhausted, he becomes unexpectedly quiet, as if protecting her peace matters more than being noticed. Just when Kaynaat starts getting used to his chaos, a new senior strategist joins the team. Mature. Composed. Effortlessly compatible with her. Everything Vivaan is not. For the first time, Vivaan stops being loud. And Kaynaat realises the office feels far too quiet without him. A slow-burn office romance about a dramatic younger man who falls first, a guarded woman who falls harder, and a love so consuming that it turns someone completely... not very kaam ka.
