The fortress has fallen. Now she must learn to fight in the open. Six months ago, Parvathi Menon burned her fortress to the ground. She stood before the Pillai family-the eight brothers who had taken her in, the mother who never knew her pain, the father figure who believed her lies-and told them the truth. Every secret. Every scar. Every carefully constructed wall she had spent four years building. She expected exile. She received a miracle: they stayed. But miracles do not win wars. Jagan Pandey, his empire crumbling from the evidence VedaTech and Pillai Tech have brought against him, is a wounded predator-more vicious, more desperate, more dangerous than ever. His corporate siege has become a personal vendetta. And somewhere in the shadows, Prakash Menon waits. Silent. Patient. Obsessed. The family Parvathi finally allowed herself to love is now a target because of her. Her brothers watch her with new eyes-not as a victim to be protected, but as a warrior they don't yet understand. Trust is fragile, rebuilt moment by painful moment. Dev's secret alliance has become a public loyalty, but the weight of his past silence strains the bond between him and his brothers. Rahul, the prodigy coder, works alongside Ananya to fortify VedaTech's digital walls-and grows closer to her in ways that worry and delight Parvathi in equal measure. Nikhil sees her trauma with clinical precision and brotherly anguish, pushing her to confront the wounds she has only ever bandaged, never healed. And Arav. Gentle, steadfast Arav, who waited years without knowing what he was waiting for. He has chosen to stand beside her, fully aware of the war he is walking into. His faith in her is absolute. His presence is the anchor she never knew she needed. But love is also a vulnerability. And Pandey knows exactly where to strike. The fortress is ash. The truth is exposed. Now comes the blade.

They don't know she is hiding from a ruthless business rival and the monstrous father who stalks her from the shadows. Parvathi believes her fortress is impenetrable.

AADHU'S DIARY Arjun wore that blue shirt again today-the one I described last week. Stupid shirt. Stupid handsome boy. In my Special Book, I write what I can't speak: 'His smile is like the first monsoon rain after summer. But he never notices me unless I drop my pen. A fake accident, just to hear his voice.' Worthy of a novel, right? Better than those cheap romances Diya reads. At least mine is real. ARJUN'S JOURNAL Aadhira's Special Book is still in my bag. She thinks I don't know. But I saw her write 'Arjun' and then scratch it out like a demon possessed her. Today, she filled three pages during math class. I counted her pauses-17 sighs. Two times, she bit her pen.

If I stay still, I'll die of longing. how long will a love stay hidden? read this story to find out inspired by my real life . start date :- 17/8/25 end date :- 17/2/26
