All Chapters of Love with a twist: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Hey there! First of all, thank you for clicking on my story. This is my first-ever attempt at writing, so buckle up—it's going to be a fun ride. Or a bumpy one. Either way, I promise it'll be worth it! Now, let's address the elephant in the room: character introductions. Yes, I know—some of you hate seeing a flood of names right at the start. But guess what? I'm still going to do it because I care about you not getting lost. So here's your cheat sheet: Main CharactersAva, Abhi, Darsh: The VIPs of this story. If you're here, it's probably to unravel their drama, romance, and everything in between. Supporting Cast Kyra and Priti: Ava's best friends, armed with sass and loyalty in equal measure. Virin: Kyra's twin brother, because what's a story without a wildcard? Disclaimer Let's clear this up right away—this story does not promote any kind of assault or cheating. Nope, not here. You can sip your tea and relax. Now, go ahead and dive in. Laugh, cry, cringe, or roll your eyes—I'll

Ava's POV Every Sunday evening, like clockwork, the kids in the colony gathered near the bamboo grove for the most anticipated game of the week. The air buzzed with excitement as teams were about to be formed. Some kids whispered strategies, while others jostled for their preferred teammates. I, however, had my eyes fixed on the far end of the clearing, waiting for Priti. She was supposed to bring Darsh—the new boy, her cousin—to join the game. I was still trying to wrap my head around that revelation. Priti and Darsh? Cousins? How did she conveniently forget to mention that? "Ava will be on my team no matter what, and if anyone dares to throw the ball at her, I swear I'll break their hands!" Abhi's voice thundered across the clearing, drawing groans and muffled laughter from the group. I rolled my eyes, my patience already wearing thin. "Seriously, Abhi? Throwing the ball at your opponent is literally the whole point of Seven Stones. If you ruin the game again like last week, thi

March 1, 2015 I hugged myself as a cool gust of air rushed through the corridor, sending a shiver down my spine. I waited for Darsh to open the door, rubbing my arms to ward off the chill. "I'll get the clothes, you feed your dog," I said, heading to the other side of the house. Sliding the balcony door open, I was met with a sudden spray of rain. Why is it raining in the middle of March again? I grabbed the clothes, pulling them inside as the rain drenched me. "Darsh?" I called out, not seeing him anywhere. "In here," came his reply from his room. With slight hesitation, I walked in. His disapproving gaze met mine as he noticed my soaked state. "You should have left them out there instead of getting drenched," he said, heading to his cupboard to fetch a towel. I rolled my eyes, standing there idly, my gaze wandering around his room. That's when something on his table caught my attention. A diary? Really? I smirked, checking to make sure he was still rummaging in the closet. I g

March, 2015 I immediately tried to step out as the lift doors opened, desperate to save myself from more embarrassment, but Darsh caught my arm. Without a word, he tugged me along and led me to the terrace. The moment we were alone, I found myself pinned against the all-too-familiar wall once again. "I thought we agreed never to like each other again?" he asked, his voice calm but his eyes stormy, reminding me of the heated conversation we had two weeks ago. I sighed, too drained to fight. "It's your fault for choosing a college so far away from me. Baby, I can't even survive two weeks without you, and now you're leaving for God knows how long," I said, my frustration spilling over. His intense gaze softened for a moment before he leaned in and captured my lips. The world around us disappeared as the space between us seemed to explode. My heart raced, each beat thundering in my chest, as his hands found their way under my shirt, his touch igniting a fire across my bare skin. I coul

March, 2015 Ava's POV: "Ava, we are concerned too, but Kyra is alright now and they are investigating the case. Just eat. It's been a day since you ate anything," Abhi pleaded for what felt like the hundredth time. It's not that I'm on a hunger strike. It's just... everything happened in the blink of an eye. One moment, we were immature teenagers, and the next, we were victims and suspects. They've taken Darsh in for questioning. It's too much to digest. Every time I try to take a bite, my stomach churns, refusing to cooperate. I've been sitting outside Kyra's hospital room for over an hour, staring blankly at the wall, replaying the events over and over since they took Darsh away. Darsh's parents left to talk to their lawyer. Virin's family stayed here with us, their somber presence a reminder of the gravity of the situation. My mom was busy comforting the twins' mother, but even she couldn't hide her own anxiety. "I'm sorry to bother you further, but we need to ask some questi
