Dark Romance | Mature themes | 18+ There was a time when Rudransh Singh Thakur believed in love. A time when power wasn't everything. When silence didn't define him. But that was before betrayal. It made him ruthless now. Now, at thirty-four, Rudransh stood as a man the world feared a minister, whose silence carried more weight than words ever could. Nothing touched him anymore. Nothing except one. His son. Aryaman Singh Thakur Five years old. A child who had learned early that people leave... and promises don't stay. If Rudransh had built walls, Aryaman had learned to live within them. And then, she entered. Not with power. Not with demand. But with silence that matched theirs.

His son wouldn't accept her. But she stayed. Not loudly. Not forcefully. Just... there. And in the middle of it all... there was Arohi, breathing life into the silence. A child too young to understand pain, yet the only one who carried light into a life built on shadows. And in a house where silence ruled, where love had once been broken and buried. something began to shift. Not all at once. Not enough to be called love. But enough... to change everything. Because behind power, behind silence, behind every unspoken truth lies a story hidden beneath the VEIL OF THRONE (A/n : This book is for mature audiences, contains explicit content.

"You... you are my destiny... my curse... my end..." Dev's smile was cold victory. He leaned close, whispering against her ear, his breath a cruel caress. "That's it, doll. That's the truth. You're branded now. Your screams, your blood, your words - mine. Forever." The leather slipped from his hand. Arohi collapsed, trembling violently. Her back was torn, raw with lashes, She fell, her knees unable to hold her weight. Dev caught her before she hit the ground. His arms wrapped around her- not gentle, but possessive, claiming. He looked down at the broken girl in his hold, her lashes still glistening with tears. Her lips parted, her voice a shredded whisper. "No more... please... I can't..."

🌙 #𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟎𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 And before he could walk away, she wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, her cheek pressed to his back. "You think I'm afraid of you. I'm not." He went still, his entire body tense. "Vaidehi," he said hoarsely. "Let go." She only held tighter. "No." "Let go!" His voice broke, deeper, more desperate. "Don't make me hurt you." "You won't," she whispered, her voice trembling yet sure. He exhaled sharply and turned, breaking free from her arms. His hands found her thorat, holding her still but not hurting her. His eyes burned into hers - full of fury, fear, and something far more dangerous. "Hum aapko barbaad kar denge," he hissed, voice low and shaking. "Aap dur rahiye humse, Vaidehi. I'm not the man you think I am. I destroy everything I touch." Tears spilled down her cheeks, but she met his gaze without flinching. "Then destroy me," she said quietly. "But stop running." 🌙 Vaidehi's world turns upside down when her family's business begins to collapse. In a desperate attempt to save their company, her father, Virendra Bansal, accepts a deal from the powerful Suryavanshi family - a merger sealed not only with signatures, but with marriage. Rudra Suryavanshi, the cold and ruthless heir, is forced to marry Vaidehi as part of his father's deal. To him, she's nothing more than another chain binding his freedom, a reminder of his father's control. But to Vaidehi, raised on love and duty, this marriage is her sacrifice - a way to save her family. What begins as a deal of power and resentment takes a complicated turn after one fateful night leaves her pregnant with his child. Now, tied by something far deeper than business, Rudra must face the emotions he's long buried - and Vaidehi must decide whether love can bloom in the ruins of hate. 🌙
