As they navigate their professional relationship, sparks reignite between them, blurring lines between duty and desire. With each passing day, Ria grapples with unfamiliar emotions while Advik battles to keep his feelings buried to protect her. Will their shared history prove stronger than memory loss, or will the fragments of their past keep them apart forever? × "Advik?" "Yeah?" "Have we met before?"

His fingers gently brushed my cheeks, leaving the tingling sensation. I stared into his eyes as he waited for my reply. "That I know you longer than I have known you."
