Vikram grew up with nothing but loss. His childhood was torn apart when his parents were murdered by the cruelty of Rajashekar, a man whose power crushed anyone in his way. That night, Vikram swore a vow-he would take revenge, no matter how long it took. Years later, he found the perfect path to his enemy: Rajashekar's daughter, Ananya. She was everything her father was not-innocent, kind, and untouched by the sins of her family. Vikram stepped into her life with careful charm, making her believe in love that was never meant to be. What began as a dangerous game turned into a marriage, a bond Ananya thought was unbreakable. For her, their days together were filled with laughter, trust, and golden memories. For him, it was all part of a plan leading to one moment: the night he rose into power and killed Rajashekar and his wife, fulfilling the revenge he had lived for. Ananya's world collapsed in blood and betrayal. She wept for her parents but could not erase her love for Vikram, the man who shattered her life. Yet when she begged him for the truth, his words broke her more than his sword ever could. "Did you ever love me?" "No." Now, their marriage is nothing but ashes-born from lies, destroyed by revenge, and haunted by a love that was never truly hers.

I was officially tied to this man, this handsome stranger standing right in front of me, and yet I still didn't know who he was. I knew I had to ask. I forced myself to speak, even though my heart was pounding. "Excuse me," I said softly. He turned toward me, waiting for me to continue. I couldn't look him in the eye. I kept my gaze fixed on the shiny marble floor, my head bowed in total embarrassment. "What is your name?" I finally managed to say. My voice was so quiet I could barely hear it myself. The silence that followed was agonizing. It felt like an eternity. I was sure he was judging me. What kind of wife doesn't even know her husband's name? I thought, feeling more humiliated by the second. Then, I heard a low, deep chuckle. It wasn't a mean laugh; he sounded genuinely amused. When he finally spoke, his voice was smooth and calm.
