Synopsis

At the age of 25, Manik lost his parents in a tragic accident and was forced to move with his step uncle’s family who treated him like their son. He was okay with it, after all he was getting a family after his parents. But problems arose when his step sister started to grow feelings for him and didn’t forget to prove and confess it to him on every possible occasion. He wanted to stop her but he himself had fallen for her harder before her.

At the mere age of 16, Nandini met her step brother Manik who moved with them after his parents’ death and was going to stay with them. At the beginning, she was bothered about a unknown guy moving in with them but when she met him, her thoughts changed and something attracted her towards him more even when he ignored as if she didn’t exist. Still, it couldn’t stop her from falling for her brother. He is unbelievably hot, but there are so many things made him fall for him. Maybe the depth in his eyes or the way he looked at her often.

When Nandini confessed her feelings to Manik, he started treating her the worst with the fear and respect he had for her parents. Nandini will forget him and move on, if he doesn't reciprocate, that’s what he thought but his plan backfired when Nandini planned to make him jealous and her plan worked.

“I should have realized earlier, the way his chocolate brown eyes stared at me, the way he hugged me a little longer than usual though pretended to be unintentionally, the way his eyes spoke thousand words louder than his lips that my step brother too was in love with me.”

“I should not let her feelings grow. What she wants is forbidden and illicit. It will ruin us in the end.”

"You know I don't stop until I get what I want and you're someone I don't want. You're possession, love, obsession and everything. I won't let you go away from me."

"She is fire and she is tempting me slowly. If I go close to her, I'll be burnt. She is going to turn me into ashes. She is someone I love, I admire but she is not the one I can get into my life. We live in a society."

Manik Malhotra

"Hotness is my word and mercy is not in my dictionary."

The line describes him well. A 28 year old confident, intelligent and well known architect, working for the topmost firm in the city. He might look innocent and calm from his face but he was completely opposite. He knew what he wanted and how to achieve. 

Girls are crazy behind him even when he never paid any heed to them. He has always been rude and strict to the outer world. But a girl quoted, "The way Manik looks can fail any romantic scene. A full movie can be made out of his expressions." 

Though he lived with his uncle and aunt for the last 3 years, he is thinking of moving out soon. He was falling for someone forbidden to him and trying hard to keep his feelings in check.

Nandini Malhotra

"Pretty face with ultimate intelligence. Sassy but pure hearted."

That's what describes the 19 year old well. She is a college student and loves reading. Her pure heart, innocent eyes, cute smile and clumsy nature can make any guy fall for her. But the innocence on her face was just a mask to hide the mature and lascivious side of her.

She has a line of guys running behind her but whom she wanted was forbidden to her yet she wanted him and only him. She was well aware of all the right and wrong and she truly was not on the wrong side. "What she wants, she wants." She was only 3 when she got this tag and she made sure to prove the line right every single day.

She was determined to get her love in her life and she was ready to go to any extent for this. 

Rudra Roy

30 years old, a businessman by profession. He is engaged to the love of his life Zoya Malik. They were going to marry soon. He is the son of Nandini's mother's sister.

He is also a very close friend of Manik though he was elder to him. When Manik moved to his uncle's place, he was not very comfortable here as the surrounding was completely unfamiliar to him. That time Rudra helped him and they grew really close to each other. He knew almost everything about Manik, even his hidden darkest secrets. He has been supporting him through all the thicks and thins. 

Zoya Malik

26 years old, a fashion designer by profession. Loves Rudra Roy a lot and is going to marry him soon.

She is the daughter of Nandini's mother's friends, so she knew Nandini from an early age and always treated her like her own sister as she didn't have any siblings. Nandini treated her the same way. She was more like Nandini's best friend. She knew everything about her and believed Nandini was not wrong.
