One night, wrapped in shadows and silence, Ira's destiny was rewritten- a night she does not remember, yet one that remembers her. Drugged by fate and broken by misunderstanding, she believed Shourya was the reason her world collapsed. He, bound by guilt he could never name, became the man destiny chained her to. A marriage followed- not blessed by love, but sealed by secrets, pain, and an unborn truth. For nine months, time moved strangely. Hatred and care lived side by side. Love knocked softly where fear stood guard. And between them grew a life- unwanted, resented, yet impossibly powerful. When the child arrived, fate demanded another choice. To hold on... or to let go. Because some souls are tied not by vows, but by blood, wounds, and unfinished karma. And sometimes, love does not arrive gently- it fights its way back from darkness. This is not a fairy tale. It is a story of destiny, trauma, motherhood, and redemption- where love is not found, but earned through pain.

The priest.The guests.The walls.They all vanished.There was only Vikram-and the cage he'd made for her. "You see, jaan "he murmured darkly"fate has brought us together.And now,we are going to seal it..with marriage." Aradhya shook her head, voice shaking. "Please, sir..don't do this.I don't want to marry you.I'll never love you.Just leave me.." He smiled,that cold, monstrous smile."You don't have a choice.You bumped into me during the mehndi.And tradition demands we marry." "That's not a real tradition,"she whispered through her tears."You're just using it to control me." "perhaps "Vikram replied smoothly his voices calm but his his eyes flashing anger.."But it doesn't matter. You'll marry me.And that's final." The mangalsutra was next.Its gold chain and shiny diamond rested against her neck like a shackle.Her breath hitched.And then,the final blow-vermilion.He smeared it across her hairline,sealing her fate with him in most brutal way ever. Vikram's eyes gleamed with victorious fire as he leaned close,his fingers tightening on her waist. "Now , you are mine.."he whispered "And no one can take you away from me." Aradhya's eyes flared."You'll regret this," she hissed."I won't be your prisoner forever." Vikram only chuckled. "I'm counting on it " he whispered "You'll learn to love me Aradhya one way or another.This is our destiny." "𝐇𝐞'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭.𝐇𝐞'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐞..𝐇𝐞'𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜.

"Your heart is racing but not just from fear is it, Angel?" I tried to pull away, but his grip was firm without being painful. Inescapable without being cruel. "Let go of me." "Why?" His voice was silk and smoke, wrapping around me like a physical caress. "When you're finally starting to be honest about what you want?" "I don't want anything from you." The lie tasted bitter on my tongue. "No?" He leaned in closer, so close I could feel his breath against my ear. "Then why are you trembling? Why is your skin flushed? Why haven't you screamed for help?"
