Harsha : "Come in." He said, not even bothering to look up from his work. He was wearing a beige linen suit with a crisp white shirt underneath.Okay, not bad," I thought, even though he looked hot. Not that I would ever admit it, of course! Akshu : "Yes, sir, do you need something? You called me in the middle of the celebrations-not that I'm complaining or anything." I clearly stated it sarcastically, showing my displeasure at being called out of all the classroom representatives. He finally looked up and locked his gaze on me, staring without blinking for what felt like minutes. We held each other's eyes, as if time itself had come to a standstill around us. His intense gaze held something I couldn't quite describe, and slowly, he stood up, still saying nothing. The air between us crackled with unspoken tension. He slowly began to take steps toward me-step, step, step... I instinctively started to back away, gulping as he closed the distance between us, striding toward me like I was his prey. He finally reached me, pinning me against the wall, and just as I was about to say something, he leaned in closer......... Harsha : "Shhhhhh." I was scared, my heart racing like a drum.

-- PROLOGUE "Let me get this straight. We have nothing in between us, except for the deal we made that day" he spoke in a monotonous tone. "I am the one carrying your name behind me; we are married. how can you say we have nothing in between us? Huh" She yelled at him, tears blurred her vision, and she spoke her heart to him. "For god's sake, this marriage was to save you! Can't you get that? I did not do it willingly, I do not love you!!" He yelled back at her, shattering her heart into pieces. "Why can't you just love me?" She spoke, as she cried the tears of hurt, and pain. Her heart thumped loudly due to the shivering sensation She felt all over her body. "I never made a commitment to you, or gave you any false hope, neither did i say that i love you. Did i?" He asked her, in a very cold tone. She looked at him through her teary eyes. It's getting difficult for her to even breathe. "It was your eyes, the damn eyes. Who gave me the false hope. They say, "Eyes speak the truth," but what about mine? Couldn't you feel the sincerity within them, expressing my deep affection for you? Why didn't you see the love shining in them? Was it too complex to understand? Couldn't you notice the warmth as they gazed at you? They search for you in every corner, If only you realized how they silently echoed the emotions I couldn't articulate. They say, "Eyes never deceive." But what about yours? They played a trick on me when they met mine, painting a facade of a world that wasn't real. They made me feel loved, Leading me into a belief that crumbled, louder than your spoken promises. Why did they betray me? Was it your eyes or you that masked the truth?" He stayed still, not moving or saying anything at her statement. --

He knelt down in front of me, his movements slow, deliberate. I blinked, startled, as he reached into a small box, pulling out two diamond anklets. They sparkled under the light, and for a moment, I just stared at them in awe. "I bought these for you," he said softly, his voice almost reverent as he lifted my leg gently onto his knee. I felt my breath catch in my throat as he held my ankle with a tenderness I wasn't sure he even realized he was capable of. Ayla Elrayes and Rowan Faris are brought together through an arranged marriage-a union set up by their powerful families. Ayla, an 18-year-old psychology student, and Rowan, a 23-year-old tech genius and mafia heir, are at odds with the circumstances. The forced proximity breeds tension, but over time, a slow-burn connection begins to form between them. Ayla is the sunshine to Rowan's grumpy demeanor, her kindness and optimism starting to break through his cold exterior. As they navigate the complexities of their relationship, Ayla's quiet strength, Rowan's hidden vulnerabilities, and the challenges of their different worlds collide, making for a story of growth, trust, and unexpected love. Their journey is a delicate balance of duty, personal growth, and learning to embrace the deepening bond between them. From navigating their cultural traditions to dealing with Rowan's mafia responsibilities, both Ayla and Rowan must come to terms with their individual desires and obligations in a world that seems to hold so much against them.
