The world knows Nikolas Van der Meer. The billionaire heir. The future of an empire. The man whose name opens doors and ruins lives. Everyone knows his reputation. No one knows the man behind it. Until Nina Belinski. One reckless night pulls her into the middle of a family war, public scandals, ruthless power plays, and a man far more dangerous than the headlines suggest. Because the version of Nikolas Van der Meer the world fears... isn't the version that keeps her awake at night.

He's cold, powerful, and shattered by a love he never got over. She's fierce, warm, and carrying scars she never talks about. Reyansh Raizada built walls around himself and his son after losing the only woman who ever made him feel human. Arjun barely smiles. Their world is sealed shut. Then she walks in. Ishita wasn't supposed to matter. She was just a teacher bright-eyed, sharp-tongued, annoyingly kind. But when a little boy who stopped trusting the world starts waiting by the classroom door just to see her... everything Reyansh built begins to crack. And he hates her for it. "Stay away from my son." "Make me." Forced into a marriage neither of them chose, trapped under the same roof, fighting the same unbearable pull they were never supposed to be a love story. But then he whispered against her hair at 2AM "I don't know how to want someone and not destroy them." And she realised she was already his. Hate. Grief. Fire. Surrender. Some loves don't knock. They break the door down. ✨ Forced Marriage | Single Dad | Grumpy × Sunshine | Slow Burn | Hate-to-Love | Obsession | Mature Themes Contains Hindi dialogues with translations. UNDER EDITING
