One lie was all it took to shatter my world. Framed for a betrayal I never committed, I lost my home, my honor, and the trust of the only man I ever considered my friend. Now, to save our families from ruin, I'm forced to marry him. Arjun Pratap. The ambitious prince whose life I supposedly destroyed. My bitter husband. He looks at me with hatred in his eyes and vows to make our marriage a gilded cage. He thinks I'm a schemer, a liar who stole his future. He doesn't know I'm the one who was sacrificed. But the scandal was just the beginning. As we're trapped in a dangerous game of duty and deception, a darker conspiracy emerges-one with a secret child at its center and a bullet meant to silence us for good. He swore to be my enemy. But what happens when the only person left to protect me is the one who promised to break me?
