Some people are born to shine. Others are born to be shadows. I was the latter. Married at twenty to a man I barely knew, trapped in a house where love had no place, I learned early that silence was survival. Every word I spoke could be twisted, every smile turned into mockery. My dreams - music, freedom, laughter - were caged behind golden bars called duty, obedience, and fear. And yet... even in darkness, a spark waits to ignite. Far away, in a city that never sleeps, a name echoed through hushed whispers and awe: Arav Sisodia. Twenty-five, a millionaire, a tyrant. No one had seen him, yet everyone obeyed. A man whose shadow could crush empires or elevate them. Little did I know that our worlds - mine, so small and silent, and his, so vast and untouchable - were about to collide. And once they did, nothing would ever be the same.
