KARTHIK X MAYA
Maya Sreekumar thought her past was behind her-the heartbreak of a cold marriage, the silence of a love that never bloomed, and the freedom that came with divorce. But fate wasn't done with her yet.
When her ex-husband, Karthik Nair, reappears in her life, the walls she built around her heart begin to tremble. He hides a truth she never expected: he always loved her, but his silence cost them everything.
Just as their paths cross again, danger strikes. Maya finds herself trapped in a twisted game of betrayal, revenge, and power, with Karthik's ruthless stepbrother holding her life hostage. To save her, Karthik must risk everything-even his career, his reputation, and his own freedom.
But can broken love survive when lies, contracts, and blood feuds stand in the way?
Or will this second chance shatter before it even begins?
✨ A slow-burn romance.
✨ Family drama, secrets, and betrayal.
✨ A love story tangled with danger.
He built an empire out of ashes, burying every trace of emotion beneath cold walls of steel and power.
She grew up in a world that never valued her, carrying wounds that no one could see.
Two broken souls from opposite worlds are bound together by fate.
He has wealth, influence, and scars that never healed.
She has nothing-except a quiet strength that could shatter his walls.
As secrets of the past begin to unravel-mysterious deaths, betrayals, and shadows that refuse to stay buried-what began as an unwanted bond turns into the only thing that can save them both.
It is not a story of riches or rags.
It is a story of how a village girl becomes the heartbeat of a man who had forgotten how to feel love
and how love can bloom even in the ruins of a burnt garden.
