He wanted revenge. She was just the bait. But somewhere between the lies, bruises, and stolen glances-he forgot not to feel.
Once a man of integrity, Aryan Verma lost everything when he refused to lie for a corrupt minister. Framed, ruined, and grieving, he vanished-only to return years later as Aarav Singh, the cold mastermind behind a cult disguised as a wellness empire. His target? The minister's arrogant, spoiled daughter: Kiara Thakur.
She was supposed to suffer. She wasn't supposed to matter.
But as their twisted power-play unfolds-insults, escape attempts, haunting silences-something dangerous brews. A slow-burning tension neither can name. A war between obsession and empathy, vengeance and desire.
And in the end, one will break beyond repair.
