A Gentle Claim

She is eighteen. He is twenty. She is all light - naive, bubbly, untouched by the world. He is all restraint - mature, steady, and too aware of the lines he cannot cross. They are inseparable, yet forbidden. She is the heiress of his rival's empire. He is her brother's best friend. This is the story of Aira and Ranveer. Over the years, between rules and loyalties, between innocence and longing, their bond deepens into something neither can name... or resist. A story of what it means to be each other's chaos and calm, and the gentle claim that could change everything.
