One night of free love. One man I wasn’t supposed to fall for.

This was supposed to be my final night of freedom—one last taste of independence before moving back in with my traditional Punjabi parents. No curfews. No questions. No arranged marriage talk.

Just one night. No consequences.

Then I meet Callum.

Gorgeous. Charismatic. A celebrity chef who could have anyone—but tonight, he’s chosen me.

He doesn’t know that after tonight, my future is already decided. My parents have a plan for me—a “suitable boy” from our own community. A man I’ve never even met.

But Callum makes me laugh. He makes me want things I was never supposed to want. And when we’re alone, he makes me forget that my life isn’t really mine to live.

This was never meant to last. But walking away is already breaking my heart.
