From worlds apart, two souls on a collision course,
He built his walls of stone,she built hers of doubt.
A love forbidden by tradition's force,
Two 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 must figure out.
He is Qamrain Salvius Warner, a London billionaire forged by loss and solitude. He believes love is a delusion, a distraction from the empire he controls. She is Rüya Rather, a quiet law student from the serene valleys of Kashmir, who sees love not as a salvation, but as a beautiful lie that inevitably breaks you. When a wedding in Srinagar brings the cynical London boy to her world, their carefully constructed realities begin to crack.
Amidst the misty mountains and fragrant gardens, a single conversation sparks an impossible connection.
He found her on the balcony, a silhouette against the setting sun, her brown eyes holding a universe of quiet skepticism. The lively sounds of the wedding feast felt a world away from their isolated corner.
"Your cousin tells me you find the very idea of romance... tedious," he began, his voice a low murmur that blended with the evening breeze.
She didn't look at him, her gaze fixed on the distant, snow-capped peaks. "I find it to be a myth people comfort themselves with."
"So, you don't believe in love?" Qamrain asked, taking a step closer, intrigued by the fortress she presented.
Finally, she turned to him, her expression unguarded for a fleeting second, revealing a depth of conviction that stunned him. "No," she stated, her voice soft yet firm. "Love believes in ruining people, not saving them."
A silence hung between them, charged and heavy. Then, a slow, determined smile touched his lips, his intense green eyes locking with hers as he closed the final distance.
"Then let it ruin me."
