Synopsis Disclaimer: Mature Audience Only! This book is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 18. This book may contain one or more of the following: crude indecent language, explicit sexual activity. "Childhood enemies make the most passionate lovers." "The problem is we can't stand each other and can't live without each other at the same time." "His dark eyes adored her sparkling face as if she was the shining star in his dark life." "He is ready to set the entire world on fire but never let a flame touch her." Manik Malhotra: His aura has the power to burn the whole world. He is surely not the knight in shining amour or prince charming out of the fairytales though his look was indifferent from them. Fire is the correct word to describe him. He is rude, irresistible, obsessive, fearless, arrogant, fierce, possessive and follows the rules of his family. He can't stand people who don't follow the rules made by his family

“Nandini…” Manik took her name calmly. It was too calm unlike other times. He leaned his back to rest on his comfortable leather chair and entangled his fingers together. “You seriously need to learn the basic etiquettes along with your work.” His remark worked as the last nail in the coffins. She bristled at his words.How dare he act so smug!“Manik, stop acting like a jealous teenager. You don’t have to drag our personal dislike for each other into work, do you? I tried my best to maintain professionalism, then why can’t you do the same?” Nandini spoke in a cold tone and threw the red ink covered paper on his face. Though the papers didn’t touch Manik, they fell just in front of him, scattered all over the marble table. It surely caused a big mess. But her words made no difference to Manik's expression. He remained the same. “Have you rechecked what bullshit you wrote? That’s… That’s clearly a personal attack. What the fuck is this?” This time she almost screamed. She was breat

Nandini had never been so terrified and bewildered in her entire life. After sharing an intense moment with Manik, to be more precise making out with him, she was unable to erase his thoughts out of her mind, nor could she wipe out the flashes of the scene from her mind. She was still having a hard time to believe that she actually did it. The thought of leaving the job had crossed her mind. She froze at the thought. “What the fuck are you thinking, Nandini? It was Manik who initiated the kiss. So, he has no right to judge my character when I should be the one to judge him for kissing me without my permission.” She whispered to herself. Nandini’s mind again went back to think whether Manik would be thinking anything about her or not, if he would even do anything. In fact, she doubted he would even react. He probably wouldn't even mention it ever. As far as she knew him, she was sure that he would pretend like the entire thing had never happened, only to drive her more crazy. That pa

Nandini sighed and stepped into the elevator. As soon as the elevator doors started to close on her, a perfectly tanned hand was placed in between the door frames stopping them in their tracks. The sensor reacted to the touch and the doors easily started sliding back open. Manik stepped in, pulling Nandini out of her thoughts. She was startled with his sudden presence. “Act normal, Nandini. Act as if nothing happened. Just don’t react!” She continuously chanted in her mind.Manik was also taken aback to see her. But he walked in and stood beside her. "Nandini." He called out her name. His tone was even, holding the normal amount of command and pride as it always did. Nandini raised her head to look at him. He met her gaze and held it. Then he gave a lazy smirk. "You're quite the celebrity today. Everyone seems to have something to say about you. They can’t stop gushing about you."Nandini didn't say anything in response. To be fair it wasn't a question, he made a statement and Nand

“Stop, Nandini! I don’t have time for your sob stories about us being too strict for your age. You will not be staying over at Alya's place this time.”Suddenly Nandini’s eyes turned hopeful. “Am I going to stay at home itself?” She smiled brightly, thinking her parents were finally having some senses and they were stopping treating her as a toddler.“That’s not even an option after the stunt you pulled last time.” Nandini's face fell immediately and she let out a sigh of exasperation. "Then where will I be staying?" She asked in a bored tone. “As you already know, Manik is in town. He’s going to stay here for a few months for some business related issues. He is staying in his flat along with his servants. His trusted caretaker, Sukesh and his wife, Bhabna are here too. You will be staying with them."Nandini's mouth fell open in shock. It was surely the last thing she was hoping to hear. “Mom! What are you saying? You don’t want me to stay with my friends as you don’t trust them. B
