2024-10-29 19:42:56At the age of 25, Manik lost his parents in a tragic accident and was forced to move with his step uncle’s family who treated him like their son. He was okay with it, after all he was getting a family after his parents. But problems arose when his step sister started to grow feelings for him and didn’t forget to prove and confess it to him on every possible occasion. He wanted to stop her but he himself had fallen for her harder before her.
At the mere age of 16, Nandini met her step brother Manik who moved with them after his parents’ death and was going to stay with them. At the beginning, she was bothered about a unknown guy moving in with them but when she met him, her thoughts changed and something attracted her towards him more even when he ignored as if she didn’t exist. Still, it couldn’t stop her from falling for her brother. He is unbelievably hot, but there are so many things made him fall for him. Maybe the depth in his eyes or the way he looked at her often.
When Nandini confessed her feelings to Manik, he started treating her the worst with the fear and respect he had for her parents. Nandini will forget him and move on, if he doesn't reciprocate, that’s what he thought but his plan backfired when Nandini planned to make him jealous and her plan worked.
“I should have realized earlier, the way his chocolate brown eyes stared at me, the way he hugged me a little longer than usual though pretended to be unintentionally, the way his eyes spoke thousand words louder than his lips that my step brother too was in love with me.”
“I should not let her feelings grow. What she wants is forbidden and illicit. It will ruin us in the end.”
"You know I don't stop until I get what I want and you're someone I don't want. You're possession, love, obsession and everything. I won't let you go away from me."
"She is fire and she is tempting me slowly. If I go close to her, I'll be burnt. She is going to turn me into ashes. She is someone I love, I admire but she is not the one I can get into my life. We live in a society."
........................................................................................
Manik Malhotra
"Hotness is my word and mercy is not in my dictionary."
The line describes him well. A 28 year old confident, intelligent and well known architect, working for the topmost firm in the city. He might look innocent and calm from his face but he was completely opposite. He knew what he wanted and how to achieve.
Girls are crazy behind him even when he never paid any heed to them. He has always been rude and strict to the outer world. But a girl quoted, "The way Manik looks can fail any romantic scene. A full movie can be made out of his expressions."
Though he lived with his uncle and aunt for the last 3 years, he is thinking of moving out soon. He was falling for someone forbidden to him and trying hard to keep his feelings in check.
Nandini Malhotra
"Pretty face with ultimate intelligence. Sassy but pure hearted."
That's what describes the 19 year old well. She is a college student and loves reading. Her pure heart, innocent eyes, cute smile and clumsy nature can make any guy fall for her. But the innocence on her face was just a mask to hide the mature and lascivious side of her.
She has a line of guys running behind her but whom she wanted was forbidden to her yet she wanted him and only him. She was well aware of all the right and wrong and she truly was not on the wrong side. "What she wants, she wants." She was only 3 when she got this tag and she made sure to prove the line right every single day.
She was determined to get her love in her life and she was ready to go to any extent for this.
Rudra Roy
30 years old, a businessman by profession. He is engaged to the love of his life Zoya Malik. They were going to marry soon. He is the son of Nandini's mother's sister.
He is also a very close friend of Manik though he was elder to him. When Manik moved to his uncle's place, he was not very comfortable here as the surrounding was completely unfamiliar to him. That time Rudra helped him and they grew really close to each other. He knew almost everything about Manik, even his hidden darkest secrets. He has been supporting him through all the thicks and thins.
Zoya Malik
26 years old, a fashion designer by profession. Loves Rudra Roy a lot and is going to marry him soon.
She is the daughter of Nandini's mother's friends, so she knew Nandini from an early age and always treated her like her own sister as she didn't have any siblings. Nandini treated her the same way. She was more like Nandini's best friend. She knew everything about her and believed Nandini was not wrong.

Nandini hugged him from behind more tightly and gave a long peck on his cheek. Then she returned to her place and called one of the butlers. “Complete your work fast and then you all can leave and return in the evening and prepare dinner. We’ll go out for lunch.” The butler nodded and left from there. “What’s going on in your mind, baby girl?” Nandini placed her face in between the palms, putting her on the table. “Well! a lot of things, darling.” She winked at him at the end and bit her lips seductively. Manik laughed, seeing her and had the last morsel of his bread. “Fine. You can carry on with your thoughts. I’m going to complete my work till then. You also go

So, she was alone at home, waiting for Manik to return. She was almost done with her work. As soon as she turned off the flame, the doorbell rang. While wiping her hands, she knew it was Manik as it was already the time of his arrival. Nandini went to open the door with a bright smile. Though Manik was dead tired still he smiled, seeing her. He couldn't deny, he felt better seeing her smiling face. "Good evening, baby." Manik walked inside after pecking on Nandini's forehead. He was stunned to see her in the night dress. "Good evening.

She was alone at home while her parents were out at work, so she gave leave to the butlers as Manik promised her to be back by 1. She didn't want anyone to disturb them when they spent time together after so long. Once the butlers left, Nandini decided to cook the lunch for themselves.

Manik entered the house exactly at 1, he found the hall empty. So, he walked upstairs directly. He freshened up and changed into casuals. When he came down again, he heard some sound from

"Nandini, go and check if Manik will join us for dinner tonight. Your dad won't be home tonight." Mom instructed me while tasting the dish she was making. It's been a few days since we were back from our flat as the week was over and my parents were returning. I don't know why but it hurt a lot when I was stepping out of the flat. The entire week was no less than a dream to me. It was only me and Manik there. The way Manik planned surprises for me, all these felt to be a dream. I felt I was living my dream. I always dreamt of having my own house with Manik and me and our babies. The whole week I couldn't think of anything else which made me want to live there forever. I didn't have the heart to return but I didn't have any other options. Maybe I became greedy after spending so much time with Manik in the last few days. Because I didn't like staying away from Manik anymore, I only felt like running to him and being in his arms. In short, I wanted to be around him the way I was but it
