NIGHTMARE

VEDANT RAKSHIT
Vedant once had a heart. He once believed in protection, in love, in loyalty. That changed the day he lost his family - in a betrayal that shattered him and twisted his view of the world. He built an empire of fear, power, and blood to avenge them. Along the way, he became what he hated: ruthless, feared, and alone. He tells the world - and himself - that his heart died with his family. But then came Riya , a woman who wasn't just the exception... she was the storm he never expected.
Vedant's vengeance was once clear-cut. But Riya complicates everything. She's the ghost of the man he used to be, and the mirror to the monster he has become.
But who is she to him? Just collateral damage? Or is she the truth behind everything that was taken from him?
Will he destroy her again to finish what he started - or will he destroy himself to protect her this time?
RIYA PRATAP
Riya was the light of her parents' lives - their only daughter, their pride, their little princess. Raised in warmth, laughter, and protection, her world was one of soft lullabies, safe arms, and unconditional love. Her childhood was a fairytale, shielded from pain, betrayal, and cruelty.
Falling for Vedant was the first time she stepped outside her bubble - and the last time she believed in fairytales. He was danger wrapped in allure, mystery cloaked in power. But she saw his humanity when no one else did. She trusted him when everyone told her not to.
And when he broke her, he didn't just hurt her - he shattered the foundation her entire life was built upon.
Now:
The princess grew up - but not gently.
She's no longer soft. She's sharpened. Every piece of her innocence was melted down into resilience.
But beneath the strength is a girl still mourning the fairytale that turned into a nightmare.
And now, she has a choice: stay broken, or burn the man who broke her.
