At 22, Avni Sharma has spent her whole life playing by the rules-keeping her head down, excelling in academics, and staying away from trouble. But that all changes the moment she crosses paths with Professor Kiaan Shekhawat-a man who commands fear, respect, and absolute authority.
Cold. Calculated. Untouchable.
He's known for his ruthless discipline, his sharp mind, and the fact that no one, absolutely no one, dares to challenge him.
Until her.
A single accusation-a cheating scandal she didn't commit-threatens to destroy everything she's worked for. Expulsion is inevitable, her reputation ruined. But instead of throwing her out, Kiaan offers her a deal.
"Work for me. For six months. Follow my rules, no questions asked. In exchange, you graduate."
It sounds simple. But the moment Avni steps into his world, she realizes the real danger isn't losing her degree-it's losing herself.
Because Professor Shekhawat isn't just strict. He's possessive. Demanding. A man used to controlling everything around him, including her.
And when she starts uncovering the secrets he's been hiding-the obsession, the darkness, the past he can't erase-Avni realizes one terrifying truth.
She was never meant to walk away.
She was meant to be his.
