How did an angel find love in hell? Zaina Fathima, a 23-year-old trauma surgeon, thought her life was finally settling down. After attending her best friend Aliza's lavish wedding events back home, she boards a flight to Italy for the main celebration-a dreamy cruise along the Mediterranean. But what's supposed to be a fairytale wedding celebration at sea quickly turns into a nightmare. A brutal murder shatters the festivities, and what follows is a descent into a world laced with revenge, obsession, forbidden love-and something far darker. Stained in red, None of her own. She didn't sign up for this. She never asked to be hunted, broken, or burned. Yet here she is-trapped in someone else's story, with no way out. And at the center of it all? Armaan Malik. Ex-army commander. The man she should stay away from. The man who may just break her, or become her only way out. The question isn't whether Zaina will survive this cruise... It's whether she'll make it back with her soul intact...

But what about the loneliness that comes with it in the first few weeks? That was Muna's life until a gym accident got her falling on Nicklaus Gray, a lawyer, who lives on the floor above hers. But then, her first impression of him, made him her first enemy in the city and their second and third encounters were not so good either.

But when Muna appeared in his life, and they managed to have three different not-so-good encounters in just one day, the curiosity to get to know her sparked in him.
