BENEATH HIS EYES
---
Seher is a 20-year-old ambivert with a quiet strength and a spark of defiance. She hides a painful past, a secret trauma that has shaped her into a careful observer of the world, always measuring risks before taking action. Outwardly, she is polite, kind, and approachable-a little sunshine to those around her-but beneath the surface, she carries shadows she trusts almost no one with. She has a mind of her own and the courage to test boundaries, even when the stakes are terrifyingly high.
Armaan is a 24-year-old CEO and the eldest son of a prestigious business family. Handsome, commanding, and incredibly intelligent, he is charming and affectionate with his family but arrogant, controlling, and intimidating to the rest of the world. He anticipates the moves of those around him, rarely letting anyone slip past his watchful eyes. Despite his power, he respects loyalty and has a soft spot for those he truly cares about, though very few ever see it.
