But when a priest warns them that their sister won't live past twenty-five unless she marries before twenty-four, desperation grips them. They vow to find her the perfect husband-a decent man far away from the shadows of crime. But time is running out. Enemies begin circling, their sister's innocence becomes a dangerous temptation, and no "good" man is willing to step into their dark, criminal world.

Now questions burn in the shadows: 'Will the innocent Sanyukta accept the truth of the man she married?' 'Will the Brothers accept the groom's real identity or shatter the marriage?' 'How will her protective brothers digest the reality they unknowingly invited into their lives?' And above all... will Don ever let go of the bride who became his obsession the moment he saw her?

It's consuming. It's destructive. A story where control feels like care, where fear feels like attachment, and where a fragile girl is pushed to her limits. Because even the most fragile things... can either shatter completely- or become something terrifying in their breaking.
