Tara Raikar, an ambitious Oxford student, finds her world upended when her boyfriend, Aryan Deshmukh, is forced to return to India to care for his ailing father. Despite their heartfelt promises to try long-distance, Aryan's silence in the months that follow shatters her, and she decides to move on. A year later, Tara is convinced she's put the past behind her, focused on her studies and a new life.
But when Aryan unexpectedly returns for their third year, he's a changed man-determined, mature, and more certain than ever that what he wants is Tara. His sudden reappearance stirs old emotions, but Tara is resolute. She's moved on, or so she tells herself. She's not going down that path again.
Yet, as Aryan fights to win her back, she begins to question her own heart. Is she truly over him, or does the love they shared still linger? The second-chance romance is complicated by her feelings of betrayal, his possessive nature, and a fierce desire to protect herself from being hurt again.
Tropes:
* Second chance romance
* Possessive ML
* College lovers
* Misunderstandings
* Forced proximity

"Aryan," she whispered, her voice betraying her calm exterior.
He took a step forward, his eyes full of determination. "Tara, I'm not here to beg, but I'm here to make things right. I've never stopped thinking about you."
Her heart raced, but she kept her gaze fixed on the horizon, refusing to meet his eyes. "You had your chance, Aryan. You made your choice."
"I know I hurt you. I didn't mean for it to happen this way," he said, taking another step closer. "I was wrong, but I'm not the same person I was before. I want to fix this."
She shook her head, swallowing the lump in her throat. "I've moved on. I'm not doing this again."
Aryan stepped closer, his voice low but firm. "You think you've moved on, but I know you haven't. You're still mine, Tara. And I'm not letting you go again."

"Tara, you are just 15" I said

"No, I won't" I said with a smile
"Promise???" she asked forwarding her hand
"Promise SUNSHINE" I promised taking her hand

" That son of a b*tch, AT " I hissed looking at my bleeding hand.
"Oh my god!!! your hand is bleeding so much" came an angelic voice which broke my chain of thoughts. I turned around and saw the most beautiful woman, just like an angel.
.
"Are you alright?" came the angel's voice
I just nodded still
mesmerized by her beauty.
Suddenly, she took my rough hands in her soft ones and tied a handkerchief around it.
"Now it's better!" she said with a smile which made my heart flutter with unknown emotions.
"Taraksha Sharma" she extended her hand
"Kabir Rathod" I said with a smile that I myself don't know existed.
"Please take care Kabir! Bye!" She said and went away.
Not so soon angel, not so soon
You will be mine, just mine
Because BEAUTY belongs only to her BEAST.
