Enemies. Partners. Something dangerously more. When a surprise government directive forces two rival tech companies into a high-profile joint venture, sparks fly between their brilliant, stubborn CEOs. Meerab Ahmed is sharp-tongued, fiercely principaled, and hellbent on using technology to protect civil liberties. Murtasim Khan is ruthless, calculating, and doesn't believe in freedom without control. Their first meeting is a verbal sword fight under chandeliers. Their second? A boardroom battle neither wins. What starts as an uneasy alliance soon spirals into chaos- Tensions blur into something unexpected, tested by hidden threats. Secrets unravel, testing their resolve, with shadows pulling strings. As pressure mounts and loyalties fracture, Meerab and Murtasim are forced to question everything: their mission, their allies, even each other. To survive what's coming, they'll face a choice-surrender or fight.

In a tale woven with tragedy and turmoil, Murtasim's moment of rage during Mariyam's rukhsati leads to a devastating act that forever alters the lives of both him and Meerab. Overcome by guilt and desperation, Murtasim searches relentlessly for Meerab after she flees the haveli, only to find that she is lost to him, both physically and emotionally. As time passes, Meerab grapples with the painful aftermath of her decision, learning of her unexpected pregnancy while facing the harsh reality of her isolation. With nowhere else to turn, she returns to Murtasim, not as his wife but as the mother of his child, determined to reclaim her agency amidst the shadows of their shared past. However, the joy of new life is tainted by the knowledge that her pregnancy is fraught with danger, threatening her very existence. As Meerab navigates this precarious situation, the struggle between love, resentment, and survival unfolds, forcing both characters to confront their choices and the consequences that bind them together in ways they never anticipated.
