He rams into me on his way out his eyes stone cold lock on mine for a single second, before he disappears around the corner. I stand there stunned. I couldn't understand why he hated me so much. Everyone else had gotten used to my presence. Or they at least hid the fact that they weren't. I followed him walking fast to catch up. "Hey!" I yell angrily. He ignores me. "Hey!" I yell again. He whips around fast and I skid to a halt in front of him. "What the hell is your problem?" I ask breathing hard. He remains quiet for a second looking down at me with his arms folded across his chest. "It isn't obvious?" I shake my head stepping back a step as he moves close. "You." "Me?" I question. "You are my problem Raiin Summers." He states as if it is the most obvious thing in the world. "Your weak. Dumb." My eyes flash and I try to step up to him toe to toe, but he steps forward first taking me off guard and causing me to step back into the cool metal of the wall. I feel that flash of recognition again. His white hair falls into his eyes, but he doesn't move it aside. "You blame everyone for your problems, everyone but yourself." I clench my hands together shaking as he continued. "Your unstable. A ticking time bomb waiting to erupt. And when you finally do, you'll take everyone, and everything with you." His eyes bore into mine. "Yet you stay here, and call yourself their friend." His arms locked around me like a cage. "Even though you've known this the whole time."

Everyone sees Aira Sharma as a quiet, simple girl. Soft-spoken. Introverted. Too silent for a cruel world. She lives under the roof of the powerful Singhania family- a mafia empire where strength is loud and dominance is everything. To them, Aira is fragile. Someone to protect. Someone to watch over. But what they don't know is far more dangerous. Behind her silence lies a truth no one can imagine. An empire she controls from the shadows. A power that moves without being seen. A queen without a face. As secrets begin to stir and the Singhania world grows darker, Aira's silence becomes her strongest weapon. Because she was never weak. She was just waiting.
