And somewhere between them stood a man who had built an empire in the shadows, carrying his own darkness while becoming the light in hers. Isha Kapoor had spent years running from a life that had only ever taught her pain. She believed she knew who she was, where she came from, and why she had been left with nothing but scars. She was wrong. Avi Rajvansh had power, wealth, and a world that feared his name. But when Isha enters his life, the man who never lets anyone close finds himself willing to destroy everything to protect the girl who believes she is impossible to love. And then there is Dev Malhotra. For years, he has been searching for his missing little sister, the only family he has left. Fragments of a past that refuse to stay buried. Until his search leads him to a girl who has no idea that she may be the person he has been looking for all along. As buried secrets rise, old enemies return, and the truth begins to unravel, three shattered lives find themselves connected by a past none of them remember the same way. One girl who never knew where she belonged. One brother who never stopped looking for home. And one man who would turn the world upside down to keep her safe. She thinks she is the darkness. He sees her as the light of his life. But some truths don't just change the future. They rewrite everything you thought you knew about the past. ⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅• Tropes & Themes :--> ╰┈➤ Mafia & business rivalries ╰┈➤ Found family / Hidden Identity ╰┈➤ Long-lost sibling mystery ╰┈➤ Trauma, healing & love ╰┈➤ Slow-burn romance ╰┈➤ Dark secrets & hidden past ╰┈➤ Touch her and die ╰┈➤ Suspense
