She was just a teenager when the world showed her its darkest side. Broken and scared, she built walls so high, she swore no one would ever get close-especially not a man. But life had other plans. Forced into a marriage with a stranger, she steppe...
If you all remember, I made a vision board this NEW YEAR and shared it with you guys. I'm seriously soooo happy to tell you that I've already checked off two goals from it!
First—we hit 50k reads 😭 Can you believe it? Goal achieved in just 5 months!
Second—I reached 1k subscribers on YouTube! (Yep, you guys didn't even know about that channel, hehe.)
THANK YOU SO MUCH, my cuties 🥹💗 But hey, we're not done yet—the goal is still waiting... 5k votes, remember? So he-he, fingers crossed!

"Just a tiny update to celebrate a small win! 🎉 I'll be flooding you all with new chapters right after my exam on June 7th—get ready! 💥"
"Can I kiss you now?" Dheer asked gently, his arms wrapping around her waist, pulling her just close enough. His eyes sparkled under the soft lights, lips curled in anticipation—hovering, waiting for nothing more than a simple nod.
"No," Ruhanika replied, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
Dheer blinked. "Why not?" he asked in a low, velvety voice, his tone almost a whisper against the evening hush.
"No kissing or touching until that bruise fades," she said, slipping his arms away from her waist with the gentlest touch, like a feather dancing on skin.
She stepped back, putting a playful distance between them. "If your cheeks were not bruised, I wouldn't have kissed your lips ."
Dheer stood there, stunned—half amused, half awed—completely out of words.
Before he could find his voice again, she added with a grin, "Bhai said we're flying back to India tomorrow, so tonight I'm going out with Shilpi to celebrate our victory."
She turned on her heel with a playful bounce in her step. "Bye-bye!"
Dheer watched her go, still smiling—his heart full, and his lips still waiting.
"Drink?" Shilpi called out to Ruhanika over the pounding music coming from inside the club.
