Rihan Rajawat Cold. Ruthless. Merciless. Betrayal shaped him, loss hardened him, and love-love destroyed him. The woman he once vowed to protect became the one who shattered him. Now, years later, she stands before him again, and all he has for her is hatred... or so he tells himself. Because beneath the ice in his veins, her name still burns. Aradhya Shekhawat Fierce. Sassy. Rebellious. She walked away, leaving behind the only man she ever loved-wrapped in a lie meant to break him. Forced into a choice that ruined them both, she thought she buried the past. But some ruins refuse to stay buried.
