Zaya Khurana had learned to be content-or at least to pretend. She was the wife of a millionaire, the mother of three, and the quiet shadow that held their world together.
Somewhere between school runs, business dinners, and keeping a home that never seemed to rest, she had stopped noticing herself.
There was no joy anymore. No hope. Not even the echo of the marriage she once believed in.
Aadhrit Dev Khurana, her husband, no longer looked at her the way he used to-no hunger, no warmth, not even the cold intensity he once wielded so fiercely. He loved control, loved their children, loved his empire... but her? She wasn't sure anymore. He was always busy, always somewhere else. Office. Meetings. The children. Everyone got pieces of him except her.
Years of distance had turned their marriage into a silent battlefield-no fights, no words, just a slow, suffocating erosion. He had once been obsessed with her; now he barely noticed she was drowning.
And maybe she was no longer the woman he had chosen... but perhaps the cruel truth was that he was no longer the man she had loved.
