"You think you can buy me off like the rest of your pawns, Reyansh?" "I don't need to buy you, Athira. I'll break you... make you beg. And you'll fucking love it."
"You'll die before you ever touch me." "Sweetheart... I'm already under your skin. You can pretend to hate me, but we both know what's burning beneath that ice-cold exterior of yours. And I'm the one you'll come to when it all fucking shatters."
"You think you own the world? You're nothing but a monster." "And what does that make you? When it's me you wake up to every day? How will you tolerate me when I'm not just your enemy but your husband?"

To the world, Athira Roy is perfection—a golden girl, the epitome of grace, smiles, and charm. But the moment Reyansh Sehgal enters the room, her light extinguishes into a dim flicker.
They say power is everything, but what happens when the rich heiress is forced to marry the heir to the most dangerous mafia empire?
When love, hate, and dominance blur together until the lines don't exist? When secrets buried so deep, they were never meant to be uncovered, come crawling to the surface?
Their worlds were never meant to collide—but when they do, it's destructive, chaotic, and fucking inevitable.
Because once those secrets start unraveling, neither of them will be able to escape.
