When the second-in-line Prince of Jaigarh starts receiving death threats from a patient's husband he recently operated on, the royal palace goes into chaos. He's immediately appointed a bodyguard, who much to his chagrin, happens to be his brother's closest loyal. They don't see eye to eye. And they cannot stand each other. But bound to his brother's words, he accepts the woman, on a condition that she stays at least five feet behind him. And it was supposed to stay that way. Before he comes face to face with someone from the past, someone who had told him he'd die single. As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures. Which is how he ends up introducing his bodyguard as his new girlfriend who he's so besotted by. In a nutshell, it's a set-up. So what could go wrong? Turns out, when feelings get involved, everything.

|Completed On Scrollstack| Kainaat Sharma was finally settling into Trinity, making peace with its air of power and deception. For the first time, she felt like she belonged-like she had carved a place for herself amidst the chaos. But beneath the illusion of control, the strings had always been pulled by someone else. The game was already in motion long before she stepped onto the board, and she soon realised she was nothing more than a pawn. But Kainaat is done being a piece in someone else's hands. With every secret she uncovers, the shadows around her grow darker. Loyalties crumble. Truths shatter. And the past refuses to stay buried. The deeper she digs, the closer she comes to the one secret that changes everything. And just when she thinks she's found her silver lining, she realizes it's only a key to another secret. A secret immersed deep in blood. A secret so lethal, it made her question her entire life.

Deception, betrayal and secrets but when the truth peels out of the compromise, will she still think of him as the tortured hero of her story? Or as the tortured villain who shattered her heart?
