Ananya Rai walked into Vihaan Malhotra's company with a mission — find the truth behind her father's ruin, even if it meant lying to every single person who trusted her, including the man she was told to destroy. Vihaan Malhotra never lets anyone close. Not because he doesn't feel — because feeling almost destroyed him once. He runs an empire built on secrets, and the last thing he needs is a woman who looks at him like she already knows what he's hiding. Two people. Two lies. One truth neither of them is ready for. Every glance is a risk. Every silence is a confession. And somewhere between hatred and hunger, they stop pretending — and start falling into something far more dangerous than desire. 🖤 Dark Romance | Forbidden Attraction | Slow Burn | Psychological Suspense | Boss x Employee | Hidden Identity | Enemies Who Fall Anyway
