Tejas and Aditi-two souls carved from the rarest of stones. He, with a face that could silence a crowd and a mind that could outwit empires. Fiercely confident, a touch of royalty in every step, and yet, a kindness in his heart that could melt the coldest winter. A man whose boldness was not loud, but quietly commanding-like the tide that shapes the shore without asking permission. She, with elegance sharp enough to draw blood, and ambition that bowed to no one. The world's black cards meant nothing to her-she would one day create her own, and it would be the key to a vault only she knew existed. Fierce, beautiful, unapologetic... she was the kind of woman who walked into a room and changed its temperature without saying a word. They were both introverts-not the quiet kind, but the kind who guarded their worlds like kingdoms. Love had never been their guest, nor had they invited it. Yet on the day their eyes first met-two sparks leaped the distance between them, colliding into something neither could name. It wasn't love at first sight... It was something older, deeper-like they had been carrying pieces of each other long before they ever met. And though neither could yet decipher it, they both knew whatever it was, it was not fleeting. This is not the story of how they met. This is the story of what the universe began writing for them the moment they did.
