REVATI RAJPUT,

22, 5'3,

Witty, sharp tongue and hates hypocrisy.

Mother died giving birth to her, father left them within a year, her one and only family was her brother Keshav, then one day Pratibha included and they become a complete family, her brother owned a grocery store in their village, Pratibha used to help him, Reva was in school when something happened in their house she never understood fully, some villagers broke into their house and accused them for helping a criminal and banished them from the village.

And left with no home, no job, no food and no safety.

At the age of sixteen she learnt to cook, not for herself but at someone else's house, her sister in law washed dishes and wiped floors and her brother, picked up dirty eaten plates and cleaned tables at a local restaurant in Kanpur.

They lost everything, home, respect and future.

Six years later, Neev has rebuilt his father's empire from ash, found the real culprit, and is finally collecting every debt the world owes him. Including the one that takes him back to Keshav Rajput.

But the family who saved him has paid a price he never anticipated — banished, broken, scraping through life in a forgotten corner of Kanpur. Keshav waiting tables. Pratibha on her knees scrubbing someone else's floors. And Revati. Young. Quiet. Too dignified for everything she had been reduced to.

Guilt has a way of making a man generous — so he brings them home. Gives Keshav a title, Pratibha her dream, and Revati a future she deserved all along.

Everything falls perfectly into place.

Until one night, Pratibha's frantic call pulls him across the city — and he finds Reva. Drugged. Humiliated. At the mercy of people who mistook her kindness for weakness.

He brings her home. Safe. That's all it is.

Except somewhere between his arms and her bed, she looks up at him with glassy eyes — and kisses him.

"She won't remember it in the morning. He won't be able to forget it. Ever."

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

He's her brother's boss. Her benefactor. The man who put a roof over her family's head and a future in her hands. She's sunshine in a house that forgot what warmth felt like. And the proximity between them is getting harder to ignore.
