When Forever Felt Safe

Nandini Murthy once believed her future ended on the worst night of her life.

Years later, she survives behind soft smiles, careful breathing, and walls built from fear.

Marriage to billionaire CEO Manik Malhotra is supposed to be another obligation-another risk she never wanted to take.

But Manik is nothing like the men she fears.

He doesn't demand trust.

He earns it.

One patient step at a time.

One act of kindness at a time.

One promise kept at a time.

As friendship turns into love and fear slowly gives way to hope, Nandini discovers that healing isn't about forgetting the past.

It's about finding someone who makes the future feel possible.

And sometimes, love isn't the person who saves you.

It's the person who stays.
