Shivika Rao huddled in the corner of her room, her eyes fixed on the floor as her aunty's shrill voice echoed through the walls. "Useless girl, you'll never be worthy of anything. Who will want to marry you?"
The words cut deep, but they were nothing new. Shivika had grown up hearing them, along with the beatings and the emotional abuse. Her family had never been kind to her, and she had long ago resigned herself to her fate.
But little did she know, her fate was about to take a dramatic turn. Abhishek Singh Raghuvanshi, the soon to be King of Jaipur, had set his sights on her. And he always got what he wanted.
Cold, calculating, and ruthless, Abhishek was a force to be reckoned with. He had brought up an empire through sheer willpower and intelligence, and he would stop at nothing to protect it. Except, perhaps, when it came to his family. They were the one weakness in his armor, the one gap in his otherwise impenetrable facade.
As he gazed at Shivika's photo, a spark of curiosity ignited within him. Who was this girl who had caught his eye? And why did he feel an inexplicable pull towards her?
The answer lay in the shadows, waiting to be revealed. For in a world of power and politics, love was the one thing that could bring even the most powerful king to his knees.
