Leonardo Rosewood A kind but lonely 30-year-old guy, he's had some experiences that turned him into an atheist. He works as a high-ranking officer for the British East India Company. He commands power and respect. He's not rude, but he's not exactly the friendliest person either. Radha A 19-year-old girl with an innocent curiosity to explore the wonders of the world, she faced an unimaginable heartbreak when societal pressures forced her into marriage at the tender age of sixteen, wedded to a man nearly four times her age, a fifty-eight-year-old stranger. Each day became a struggle as she silently endured the weight of her circumstances, her dreams stifled under the burden of expectations. Yet, amid the pain and turmoil, a flicker of hope burned within her, fueled by her unwavering faith in Kanha. She clung to that hope like a lifeline, believing that someday, despite the harsh realities surrounding her, she might find her own path to happiness and freedom. A love story that was never meant to be... but fate had other plans. Will their love endure and blossom in the unforgiving grip of an orthodox society? Or They would get bleedingly ripped apart and forgotten in history? (This story is set in the 1910s in India, during the colonization era.)
