Fire Between Us - Joannah Morris

The fire between us Two souls scarred by the same fire. One marriage contract. A legacy built on secrets. And a love that should never have existed. When Meher Sharma, a sunshine-hearted architect struggling to save her crumbling royal legacy, is forced into a contract marriage with Aarav Veer Rathore-the cold, calculating billionaire heir of an enemy dynasty-she believes she's trading freedom for survival. What she doesn't know is that Aarav has been watching her for years. Every move. Every smile. Every breath. Aarav's obsession is rooted in a past neither of them fully understands-a mysterious fire that killed his mother and left scars far deeper than skin. As Meher steps into the opulent Rathore estate, she begins to unravel truths her family buried long ago... and discovers that the man she married might be both her savior and her stalker. But Meher has secrets of her own. And the fire between them? It's not just passion-it's revenge, guilt, madness... and something even more dangerous. As their forced proximity ignites twisted desire and betrayals stack like ash, Meher and Aarav must confront the shadows that haunt them-or be consumed by them. > In a palace built on blood and lies, can obsession ever become love... or will it always end in flames?

"I don't want to" he snapped at her then hold his hair in frustration.

"Please Abhi... please try to understand I didn't mean that...I ...I.. it's a mistake...I am sorry" she cried, trying to make him understand

"Mistake" he looked at her before scoffing.."you are calling it mistake... sleeping with husband's friend"

He went towards her. His eyes are red. Seeing him anyone can said he is boiling in anger but in reality he was breaking inside.

"It's called cheating Sneha"

"No..no abhi please don't say like this it's... it's just" she fumble with her words

Abhimaan took deep breaths before speaking "What do you want sneha? You like him may be love him so I am ready to free you now what much do u want?"

"I don't love him...I really don't it... "

"you kissed him you let him kiss you and...." He shouted before gulped

"And you slept with him and saying you don't like him" he completed

"Please don't say like this"

"It's truth no?"

"I know and I am guilty"

"Go to hell with your guilt. There is no forgiveness for the sin you have committed. So now just stop all this bulshit . I have already signed them and I want you to get out from my house before I woke up tomorrow"

He went out closing the door.

Shr looked at the door before shouting" why??" She pushed everything from dressing table and messed the room.

"Why I became careless? Why?"

"Why the answer isn't matching?" She pout looking at the question.

Then turned another page and tried to solve it again with full determination but then a sound came from outside.

She frowned before moving the screen from the window so she can see out. Her window directly saw the main door of sachdev villa.

But her frown turned into concern seeing abhimaan coming out from villa.
