Aarvi Mehra marries Veer Singhania for one reason: revenge.
She suspects the powerful, obsessive man behind the contract knows something about her parents' deaths. Living under his roof gives her access to his world, his secrets, and the cracks in his perfect control.
But the more he touches her, the harder it gets to remember which part of this is a lie, and which part she secretly craves.
Veer doesn't believe in accidents. He wanted her in his house, in his bed, and now that she's his, he's not letting go.
But as past sins resurface and the line between desire and destruction fades, Aarvi is forced to ask herself one thing: what if the man she's trying to destroy is the only one capable of ruining her?
