Ishaani never imagined her father's debt would chain her to a man like Rashvik Singhania - Delhi's most feared mafia and the heartless CEO everyone whispered about. He married her, yes... but not for love. He called it a deal, a mortgage, a punishment for her father's helplessness. For weeks, she lived in the cold marble mansion where no one dared to speak without his permission. Rashvik didn't look at her as a wife - only as a reminder of a debt he owned. His rules were sharp, his silence louder than his anger. But as time passed, Ishaani's kindness started breaking through the walls he built around his soul. He hated her smile because it made him feel. He hated her tears because it made him weak. And just when Ishaani thought she had finally seen the human in the monster... she learns the truth - Rashvik had never planned to keep her. Their marriage was set to expire in one month - and he had already signed her away. But when the day comes for him to let her go... he can't.

◇◇◇Daily Update◇◇◇◇ •°•A Story Of Healing Love•°• ●There is no Cheating scene involve not even emotionally.💕 Once upon a time, he was a name that commanded power- a brilliant businessman and the crowned prince of Jaisalmer, ruling empires with calculated precision. Then came the accident. His empire remained untouched, his throne secure, but his mind didn't survive the fall. The man who once ruled with clarity now battles hallucinations, fractured memories, and a past he cannot escape- especially the memory of the woman he loved... the woman who left.. Now he became a baby by mind. She is not that woman. She has no place in his past and no claim on his heart. Cold, composed, and fiercely independent, she is a CEO who believes in control, not emotions. Love, for her, is a myth-an unnecessary weakness she refuses to entertain. Fate, however, is cruel and persistent. Circumstances force two strangers together- a broken prince clinging to a lost love, and a woman who refuses to feel anything at all. He lives as a child. She lives in reality. They are bound not by love, but by destiny, power, and a truth neither of them asked for. Because sometimes, the most dangerous stories begin when two hearts that don't belong to each other are forced to collide. #7 in India -24/Feb/2026 #14 in darkromance-24/Feb/2026
