ARYA SINGHAL × SHIV CHAUDHARY
Arya Singhal, once the glamorous heiress of the Singhal Empire, is now living a quiet, mediocre life in Rajasthan after a devastating accident that erased parts of her past and shattered her confidence. She spends her days trying to be normal, trying to feel ordinary-but something feels wrong.
Because someone... or something... is watching her.
She begins noticing it in small ways:
a shadow at the corner of her eye
footprints in the courtyard sand
the faint smell of cologne in her locked room
whispers in her sleep
the sense of being followed
The shadow never speaks. It only observes.
It only lurks.
And every day, it comes closer.
Just when her life feels like it is falling apart, a man returns after ten years-
Shiv Chaudhry.
The boy she once knew. The man who once meant everything.
But the Shiv who stands before her now is not the Shiv she remembers.
His eyes are empty.
His presence is cold.
His silence is suffocating.
And without warning, he proposes marriage.
No explanation.
No emotion.
Just a sentence heavy enough to crush her breath.
Why?
Why now, after all these years?
Does he want revenge?
Is she just a puppet dancing on invisible strings?
Is he connected to the shadow stalking her?
Or is he trying to save her from it?
Between the lifeless eyes of Shiv and the silent footsteps of the shadow, Arya stands trapped-
one of them wants her life... the other wants her soul.
But she cannot tell which is which.
Who is more dangerous-
Shiv?
Or the shadow that haunts her dreams?
And the worst question of all-
Who should Arya trust?
And who should she fear?
This time, there's no escape.
