When I first started this story, I was accused of copying from a book named Siara. At that time, I honestly didn't know about it, but now I do. This version is a completely rewritten plot, with fresh twists, new character arcs, and my own vision. Nothing here is taken from anywhere else-this is purely my creation.

Aradhya Rajvansh's life shattered the day her own family turned their backs on her, believing lies that landed her in prison. After four years, she walks free-not as the girl she once was, but as a woman forged in pain and silence. With only her younger brother Ansh by her side, she rebuilds her life far away from home, shutting her heart to the world.
But destiny has other plans. Her path collides with Rishav Raghuvanshi-a man of quiet strength, protective warmth, and ruthless determination. Thrust into his family through marriage, Aradhya finds herself torn between old wounds and the possibility of a new beginning. While Rishav's unwavering presence starts breaking down her walls, shadows of betrayal and enemies from the past threaten to return.
This is a story of heartbreak, resilience, and the slow, tender healing of a warrior's heart.
