The Dance of Hatred and Desire
Imagine being sixteen and suddenly learning you're engaged to your family's sworn enemy. This is Rosalie Kapoor's nightmare when her father announces she must marry Nova D'Cruz, heir to their rival business empire. In a mahogany-paneled office flooded with mocking sunlight, she's forced to sign a binding contract with no escape clause. When she protests, her father weaponizes her deceased mother's memory: "It was your mother's wish." Across the table sits Nova, his amber eyes burning with the same hatred she feels. What follows is a declaration of war. Nova corners Rosalie in empty hallways, demanding she end their engagement. When she challenges him to do it himself, he burns her treasured first-edition "Pride and Prejudice" and delivers a chilling ultimatum: "Call off the wedding, little Rose, or be prepared to burn for eternity." Rosalie retaliates by blowing up his Aston Martin in the school parking lot-a million-dollar statement of defiance that, surprisingly, earns his respect. Their mutual hatred becomes the foundation of a dangerous game where each act of revenge draws them closer together. At every charity gala and family dinner, they must pretend civility while privately plotting against each other. Yet something unexpected happens in this battlefield of emotions-how can you truly hate someone you're beginning to understand?
