She wore red not for celebration but for survival. When Ira Sharma, a free-spirited artist from a humble background, is forced into an arranged marriage with India's coldest and most potent CEO, Aarav Singh Rathore, her life turns dark. Behind his tailored suits and steel-cut reputation hides a man haunted by a mysterious past and a heart buried deep under years of emotional armor. To the world, their union is a business deal wrapped in tradition. To Ira, it's a cage of marble walls and whispered threats. But the more she tries to resist him, the more she sees the fire smoldering beneath his control - a fire that burns only for her. Aarav never wanted a wife, let alone one who questions his silence and stares into his darkness without flinching. But Ira doesn't follow rules. She paints secrets on his walls, pokes at old scars, and unravels truths he swore he'd bury forever. As desire turns to obsession and secrets claw their way to the surface, Ira must decide: Can love bloom in the shadows? Or will the man she married be the one to break her? A bold, breathtaking tale of broken souls, burning chemistry, and the kind of love that refuses to die - even when drowned in silence, pain, and blood.
