They go on a date to know each other. Ranveer turns out to be a psychopath and has hidden something in his house which scares Naina.She tries to run away but in vain.  What is Ranveer hiding?  Will she escape from Ranveer?  What will happen to Naina?  This book is just 17 pages on kindle and I liked the storyline a lot and the end was satisfying but if it had been a complete book I would have enjoyed it much better.  The narration of the story is really good and simple.

Story finishes very fast and that's my only disappointment.  Woul
