Aarya Rathore was never anyone's first choice. Not at home. Not in mirrors. Not in the spaces where beauty was measured in numbers and silence was mistaken for weakness. But she was brilliant. She was kind. She was fierce in quiet ways no one ever noticed-until she began to break. Veer Rajvansh had no room for softness. He built empires, moved markets, commanded fear. To him, emotions were a weakness-and love, a luxury he'd never allow. Until her. What began as a business deal and a reluctant connection turns into a battle of wounds and walls-of past scars and present tension. And in the slow, burning ache of it all, something sacred blooms. Something undeniable. Something that feels like a prayer. She, the girl nobody truly loved. He, the man no one thought could love. And a story where one day... he would worship her.

18+ Tak seperti bayangan perjodohan pada umumnya, yang selalu diwarnai penolakan dan upaya menahan diri untuk saling jatuh hati, hubungan mereka mengalir begitu saja. Keduanya sepakat menjalani semuanya dengan dewasa, saling belajar mencintai, saling memahami, dan menyesuaikan diri dengan kebiasaan masing-masing. Tanpa disadari, kehadiran satu sama lain pun perlahan menjadi candu. Namun di balik itu, Akbar menyadari sebuah fakta tersembunyi. Pernikahannya dengan Niskala ternyata bukan sekadar urusan hati, melainkan juga kepentingan lain. Ikatan ini diharapkan bisa meredam suara kritisnya, membuatnya lebih berhati-hati dalam menyinggung batasan yang tak semua orang ingin dipersoalkan. Mereka ingin Akbar diam, setidaknya tidak lagi terlalu lantang menentang keputusan mereka. Copyright © 2025 Ruby Amethyst. All rights reserved.
