She was drowning in problems... He was her only way out. Nandini Rao never imagined her life would come to this-standing at the edge of desperation, forced to choose between her family's survival and her own dreams. Then came the offer that changed everything. Cold. Calculated. Unbelievable. Marriage. Not to a stranger... But to the one man she feared the most. Her professor. Manik Malhotra-arrogant, disciplined, and dangerously unreadable. A man who never smiled, never trusted, and never loved. Their marriage was supposed to be simple. A deal. A contract. No emotions. No attachments. But living under the same roof... Sharing the same silence... Feeling his intense gaze linger a second too long... Everything began to change. His touch started to burn. His anger turned possessive. And his silence? It spoke more than words ever could. What happens when a man who swore never to love... Finds himself unable to let her go? And what happens when a girl who entered a marriage out of helplessness... Starts falling for the man she was never supposed to love? In a world where their relationship is forbidden... Where society watches, judges, and destroys... Will their love survive? Or will it become their greatest mistake?

"Saim, please... listen to me! Please!" she sobbed, reaching out for him. He shoved her away harshly, his touch colder than ice. "Don't you dare! Don't you dare come near me, you witch!" he roared, his voice slicing through the air like a blade. "I did it because I love you!" she cried brokenly. "I can't live without you!" His chest heaved with anger and betrayal. "Not once, Aina... not once but twice you shattered me!" he hissed, a lone tear escaping the storm in his eyes. He leaned down, their faces inches apart - her tear-soaked eyes locked with his bloodshot, furious ones. "I hate you!" he gritted out, his hands gripping her arms with a bruising force. "I HATE YOU!" he screamed, his voice ripping her heart into pieces. "But I love you!" she cried out in agony. "I LOVE YOU, SAIM!" The space between them was filled with pain - pain of a love that was never meant to be, and the ruins of a bond they once called family. ... He leaned in close, his voice a whisper laced with venom. "You want to feel what I felt? I'll give you more than that..." She didn't know what he meant - not yet. But what he did next... Left scars deeper than he intended. Aina shattered - not just in heart, but in soul. It was supposed to be her punishment. But in punishing her, Saim lost a part of himself too. What he did... had consequences. Heavy ones. Repercussions he never saw coming. Now the question remains- Will he be able to pay the price? Or did he just destroy the only thing that ever truly belonged to him? It wasn't just revenge. It was a punishment that would break her in ways no apology, no time, no love could ever mend. And Aina had no idea... That the worst was yet to come. ............

More tears fell down her eyes, " Do i hold any right on you?" She questioned, whose answer might crumple her heart.

Aarav Oberoi never made mistakes. At least, that's what he told himself. The sleek glass walls of Oberoi Enterprises gleamed under the harsh office lights, but inside the penthouse suite, the air felt thick - with tension, suspicion, and something darker. A confidential project, years in the making, had just been compromised. Millions lost. Trust shattered. And all fingers pointed to one person. Ruhi Sharma. His assistant. The one who had been with him through late nights and endless board meetings. The one he never thought could betray him. But the files had leaked. And in Aarav's eyes, betrayal was betrayal - no matter who wore the mask. He didn't pause to ask questions. He didn't look for proof. Because in the ruthless game of business, weakness was a luxury he couldn't afford. His decision was swift, brutal. He ruined her. Her career. Her reputation. Her future. Now, as the city lights flickered below his office window, Aarav felt a strange weight - not of triumph, but of something far heavier. Regret. Because the real traitor was still out there. And the woman he destroyed was innocent.
