One small lie was supposed to be harmless.
Elira Sen only wanted a single day off — to attend her best friend’s wedding. A quick email, a fake fever, and it was done. Or so she thought.
Until she walked straight into the last person she ever expected to see there.
Ronav Roy.
Her boss. The CEO who ruled boardrooms with silence sharper than words. The man people feared more than deadlines.
He shouldn’t have been at that wedding. He shouldn’t have looked at her like that. And he definitely shouldn’t have sent that text:
“You look surprisingly well for someone with a fever.”
Now trapped in days of rituals, laughter, colours, and chaos, Elira finds herself colliding with him again and again. His silence burns hotter than words, his presence rattles her in ways she can’t explain.
And in the middle of the celebrations, a dangerous question begins to form —
What happens when a single sick lie turns into the beginning of something real?
