'Kartik, I don't like you." 𝑰 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘. "I'm serious." 𝑰 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘. "Then why are you smiling?" 𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒓𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒎𝒆. She looked down. Silence. "Oh." His smile widened. 𝑬𝒙𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒍𝒚. -------------------------------- Seven years ago, Shree Sharma learned the ugliest version of love. Now at twenty-four, she is a doctor who has built her entire life around one promise :- Never let anyone have that kind of power over her again. Then an arranged marriage brings Kartik Rajwanshi into her life. A twenty-five-year-old IAS officer who is disciplined, intimidating and impossible to argue with- except when it comes to her. He knows her past. He knows her fears. And somehow He still chooses her. But what happens when the girl who stopped believing in love ends up married to the man who makes her want to believe in it again? An arranged marriage. A past she can't forget. A man she never expected. And a love story neither of them planned. AFTER SEVENTEEN 🎀
