Aarya Rathore was never anyone's first choice. Not at home. Not in mirrors. Not in the spaces where beauty was measured in numbers and silence was mistaken for weakness. But she was brilliant. She was kind. She was fierce in quiet ways no one ever noticed-until she began to break. Veer Rajvansh had no room for softness. He built empires, moved markets, commanded fear. To him, emotions were a weakness-and love, a luxury he'd never allow. Until her. What began as a business deal and a reluctant connection turns into a battle of wounds and walls-of past scars and present tension. And in the slow, burning ache of it all, something sacred blooms. Something undeniable. Something that feels like a prayer. She, the girl nobody truly loved. He, the man no one thought could love. And a story where one day... he would worship her.

A girl in Delhi has a brilliant mind and secrets darker than the nights that won't let her eyes close. She lives in the Labyrinth, a place that always seems dim, even in the middle of the day. There, customers flock in their dozens, and there, the girl is exploited for profit in unthinkable, irreversible ways. Her traffickers change her name regularly to throw off authorities, and survival seems only a flicker in the pool of murky water she must bathe in each morning. Though she has known little more than this life of poverty and forced prostitution, when she meets an elderly woman named Ucchal, everything could change. Ucchal works for an anti-trafficking unit, and her questions lead the girl to question herself and her surroundings. If there is a path to freedom, how dangerous is that path, and what hopeful or harrowing discoveries wait at the end?

On the wet sand beside the seashore, the strong, tall man was laying with a cigarette in his hand. His bike parked a few feet away from him. The environment there was serene and noiseless as no one was allowed then on the beach that he owned. It was not a big deal for a billionaire like him. He had a lot more than that. Wealth, power, the respect he had all of them but lacked the most important thing that couldn't be bought with money. He lacked inner peace. He inhaled the vinous smoke as the corner of his lips twitched in a sad smile. His eyes deceived him being moist and a lone tear slipped down his face on the sand. The sand sucked the water as soon as it fell on it, and he wondered if his pain disappeared in thin air like that. He breathed out a puff of smoke through his nose and mouth. Looking up at the sky with the sad smile plastered on his face he spoke up, "Why so hatred for me, ya Rab?" Miles away from him the girl with a cuddling baby in her arms uttered looking up at the sky, "I express my deep gratitude to You for sending this angel to me, Ya Rab."
