"Ak-" Her eyes drifted shut, her head drooping as if burdened by an unseen weight. Suddenly, her body jolt as though startled by a steep fall, and she forced her eyes open, blinking with a dazed expression.
"Akira Ved Singhaniya."
The name sliced through the silence, and my heart stumbled, caught in a breathless pause. My fingers dug tightly into the armrest, as I peered at her face, searching for some sign of lucidity, a glint of intention. But her gaze was lost, unfocused, wrapped in a fog that told me she wasn't even aware enough to be scheming. Did she truly say that name?
Taking a breath I focused on the questions. I couldn't risk it to fall for her trap again. I wouldn't let her corrupt me again.
"Do you know me?" Gripping her face in my hand I forced her to look into my eyes.
"Ved."

The sole heir of the Singhaniya's and the embodiment of devastation, Ved Singhaniya, acquired a curse from a previous life. But there is always a cure for a curse, and she was his cure, his panacea.
Akira Suryawanshi, the last blood alive of the Suryawanshi's. She was unaware of the power she possessed, until the history began to reveal itself. They scurried apart, tangled in a bond neither of them knew existed, but they were each other's fate.
Destiny played its game unfolding the truth in front of Ved, and now he would go beyond the extent of his limit to make her his sin and salvation, again, for this lifetime.
