"She is my best friend’s younger sister. I am the bodyguard sworn to protect her brother—the king.

We are worlds apart. She grew up surrounded by love, wrapped in the warmth of a joint family. I grew up alone, left to fight battles life threw at me.

We don’t make sense together. I have nothing to offer her—no grand promises, no dreams worth sharing. Yet, she managed to steal something I didn’t know I could give—my heart.
I built walls around myself, hard as stone, to keep her out. But she doesn’t break them; she slips through the cracks I didn’t know existed. She’s healing wounds she didn’t cause, mending a soul I thought was beyond repair.

And now, as much as I should push her away, all I want is to hold on."
