Bound by contract

Prologue

The world saw them as a perfect match long before they ever did.

For years, fans, teammates, and even friends shipped Virat Kohli and Yashaswini Singh Dhoni together. Every interaction became a headline, every smile became a rumor, and every photo became proof of a love story that didn't exist.

Or so they thought.

Virat was one of her brother's closest friends. Yashaswini had known him for years. They argued, teased each other, and pretended not to care about the endless rumors surrounding them.

But sometimes the stories people create aren't entirely wrong.

Sometimes, the line between friendship and love becomes blurred.

And sometimes, the person you've known for years becomes the one you can't imagine living without.

This is their story.
