Everyone in New York has heard two rules about Dante Moretti: Never lie to him. Never run from him. Dante Moretti is 32. A billionaire CEO by day, the ruthless King of the Moretti empire by night. 6'3, scarred knuckles, ice-cold eyes, short-tempered, brutally possessive. He built his empire on blood and betrayal, and he has zero tolerance for liars. He doesn't do love. He doesn't do mercy. Elara Rossi is 26. A broke single mother working double shifts at a diner to keep a roof over her 5-year-old daughter, Mia's head. Innocent to the world Dante lives in. Soft-spoken, too trusting for her own good, with no idea that her late husband left her with more than debt - he left her owing $2.7 million to the most dangerous man in the city. When Dante comes to collect, he expects cash. What he finds instead is a tiny apartment, a woman in a worn-out uniform who looks him in the eye and doesn't flinch, and a little girl with pigtails who offers him her crayon and calls him "Mister Grumpy." He should take the apartment. He should take her life. Instead, he makes a different deal: She will move into his penthouse. She will play the role of his obedient pet. She will never lie to him. In return, her debt is wiped and her daughter is safe. What starts as a contract turns into an obsession. He wants to ruin her innocence. She wants to survive him. But Dante Moretti has never wanted anything as much as he wants to own the one woman who isn't afraid to say no to him - and the little girl who starts calling his mansion home. He won't fall easily. But when he does, he falls violently, obsessively, irreversibly. And anyone who tries to touch what's his will learn why the whole city fears his name. He was a king who trusted no one. She was a mother who had nothing left to lose. Their love was never supposed to happen - and now he would burn the world to keep it and her daughter.

What she doesn't expect is a man who appears only at night. A man who never eats. Never sleeps. Never casts a reflection. And somehow knows things about her that he shouldn't.

Their arguments become stolen moments. And somewhere between fear and fascination, she starts falling for the one man she can never have. But the deeper she digs into his past, the more she realizes that their marriage was never an accident. Someone brought them together. Someone has been waiting for this marriage to happen. And the contract has a final clause that she was never meant to see. Because some love stories begin with a heartbeat. Theirs began with a death. And when the contract finally comes to an end... only one of them may be allowed to stay.

So when her family decides the only way to get rid of their "unlucky" daughter is to marry her off, they find the perfect man. Umesh. A man who hates marriage.

The woman everyone believes brings bad luck. The man who hates everything she represents. Neither of them wants this marriage. Neither of them expects what happens after they say I do. Because sometimes the person your family warns you about... is the person who finally makes you feel like you belong. Forced Marriage • Enemies to Lovers • Indian Romance • Family Drama

Until the person they were supposed to leave behind became the one they couldn't imagine living without. But every contract has an ending. And theirs is only one year away. What happens when the only rule they were never supposed to break... becomes the one they can't live without? 💍
