What if isolating yourself was the only way to survive?And what if the one person who could break through your silence didn't believe in love at all-except her own version of it?Vivaan follows five strict rules-not for discipline, not for success-but to survive. Diabetic, withdrawn, and haunted by a shadow he refuses to become, Vivaan hides behind a carefully constructed mask of normalcy. His plan is simple: blend in, let no one in, and feel absolutely nothing. Andrea isn't gentle, isn't soft. She's rugged, sharp, and terrifyingly fearless. The girl everyone fears to touch but secretly longs for. She doesn't fall for sweet words or fragile promises. To her, love isn't the stuff of fairy tales-it's a belief so rare she thinks only true lovers would understand it. She waits for that kind of love. Demands it. But she doesn't realize-Vivaan might already understand it more than anyone else ever could.Together, they are two storms circling each other. One hiding fear behind silence, the other hiding pain behind fire. Vivaan doesn't want to be known. Andrea doesn't believe anyone deserves to know her. But when their lives tangle, the question changes.Can two people who've locked their hearts away be the key to each other's salvation? Or will they destroy each other trying to find what they're too afraid to ask for?Turn the first page-because their story isn't about falling in love.It's about rewriting fate.
