Where Bullets Bowed

> "She lived in a world full of sunshine. He thrived in one built on blood."

Ilina is a calm, sweet girl-bubbly only with the ones she trusts.
Leaving her close-knit town behind, she moves to Bangalore to chase her dream of becoming a doctor. Her world is made of supportive parents, a younger brother, one best friend, and endless ambition.
Safe. Structured. Familiar.
She never planned to break her bubble-until he shattered it.

Matteo Vescari is the cold-hearted heir of an Italian mafia empire.
On the surface, he's a successful businessman, but underneath lies a dark empire built on the deep web, trafficking, and secrets no one dares speak of.
With no space for love and no belief in softness, Matteo lives for two things: power and profit.
Until Ilina crosses his path... and suddenly, something shifts.

Their worlds should never mix-
But when fate forces them together, will they burn down everything to be with each other...
or destroy one another in the process?
