Velvet Bruises

She never believed in love.

Nyra Khanna entered law school with one goal-to build a future where emotions never got in the way. Love was a distraction she could afford neither to trust nor to chase.

Then came two boys who changed everything.

Harshit Mehra, the one who made her feel understood without ever asking for anything in return.

And Adrian Oberoi, her academic rival, whose presence turned every victory into a battle and every battle into something far more dangerous.

Between lecture halls, late-night study sessions, unspoken feelings, and promises that felt real, Nyra finds herself standing at the center of a story she never wanted to be a part of.

But love has a cruel way of hiding the truth.

Years later, when the past returns with secrets buried deep beneath memories and heartbreak, Nyra is forced to confront a question she spent years running from:

What hurts more-the person who leaves, or the person who stays?

Velvet Bruises is a story of love, betrayal, friendship, heartbreak, and the scars that remain long after the bruises fade.
