The party was in full swing, a cacophony of laughter, clinking glasses, and music blending into the night. It was supposed to be a simple farewell for a friend, but for him, it had turned into something else entirely when he saw you across the room.

Dr. Abhimaan Rajvansh, the renowned cardiologist, felt his heart skip a beat—a twist of irony—when he spotted his ex, you, standing by the bar. Their eyes met, and for a split second, the room seemed to shrink, everyone else fading into the background. The memories flooded back: the intense, passionate relationship that had ended in a blaze of anger and hurt.

Their relationship had been a whirlwind—fiery, intense, and all-consuming. But their individual ambitions had often clashed, leading to heated arguments and eventually a bitter breakup that left both of them nursing wounds that hadn't quite healed.

What you didn’t know, and what still haunted Abhimaan, was the true reason behind their breakup. His powerful, controlling family had threatened to destroy your career and reputation if he didn’t end things. To you, it was a betrayal of the worst kind, but to him, it had been a desperate attempt to protect the person he loved from the darkness of his own family's influence.

Abhimaan watched as you laughed with your friends, your hand absentmindedly brushing against your ring. It took a moment for the reality to sink in: you were engaged. A flare of jealousy and regret burned in his chest, and before he knew it, his feet were carrying him across the room to you.

"Fancy meeting you again, sunshine." he said, his voice a mix of surprise and something more intense.
