She was the innocent daughter of his greatest rival. He was a ruthless MLA who married her for one reason-revenge. Rayan Rajvansh never wanted a wife. He wanted her father's empire. Varnika Bhardwaj never imagined that the man she'd be forced to call her husband would become her greatest nightmare. He hated her surname. She couldn't even speak her truth. But when revenge turns into obsession, can the man who broke her become the one who protects her?

She was nothing more than a maid in the royal palace-until fate bound her to the King in a marriage that could never be revealed. He never wanted her. He never loved her. For him, their marriage was nothing but a duty. But Mrinalika had loved him long before she became his secret wife. While the kingdom bows before its King and Queen, no one knows that another woman holds a hidden place beside the throne. She is his wife in secret, his queen in silence... and perhaps, the one person he can never learn to love.
