Author’s Note

Dear readers,

Welcome to a world where love does not arrive softly.

This story is dark, emotional, intense, and filled with flawed people who make dangerous choices. The male lead is not written to be perfect, kind, or easy to love. He is meant to be complicated. The female lead is soft, but softness should never be mistaken for weakness.

Some scenes may frustrate you. Some may make your heart race. Some may hurt.

Read with patience, because not every character heals quickly… and not every love story begins beautifully.

Thank you for trusting my words and stepping into another world created by me.

With love,

Shivika
