Sitara never wanted to cross paths with a man like Ashwin Ravichandran - the cold, feared heir of a criminal empire. But the night she collapses in a club, she wakes up in his mansion... and her life stops belonging to her. Ashwin claims he's protecting her. The truth? He's not letting her leave. When his enemies mark Sitara as a weakness, Ashwin does the one thing she can't fight or refuse: He forces her into marriage - not out of love, but survival. Now Sitara is trapped in a world ruled by power, secrets, and a man who decides her fate with a single command. She doesn't know what's more dangerous: the threats outside... or the man standing right in front of her. ✨ Tropes →Age Gap ( 18 X 28 ) →Forced Marriage →Grumpy × Sunshine →Touch Her and Die →He Fell first and Harder #2 - forcedmarriage on 12/23/2025 _____________________________________ Warning: contains mature content, violence, murder and abuse which may trigger anyone.
