Bhairavi Sen has spent her life outrunning ghosts, learning never to trust too easily or hope too much. But when she is kidnapped on a stormy night, her carefully built world collapses. In a world ruled by power and deception, Bhairavi realizes survival isn't just about endurance-it's about knowing who the real enemy is.

Aditya Chatterjee never intended to let anyone in. His world is built on quiet solitude, old wounds, and a past he refuses to revisit. But when fate draws Bhairavi into his orbit, the walls he spent years constructing begin to crack. She stirs something dangerous in him-something he isn't sure he can control.

As their lives intertwine, buried secrets claw their way to the surface. Trust is fragile, redemption comes at a price, and the past is never truly buried. When the truth finally unravels, will they find their way back to each other-or will the weight of betrayal tear them apart?
