"The worlds spinning....am i lost? Where is he?What have i done....."
Sebastian Callahan was born into a legacy of blood and power. His father, a ruthless and brilliant man, ruled the criminal underworld with precision-and Sebastian, his only son, was raised not with love, but with expectations. By the time he was 18, he was fluent in five languages, trained in combat, negotiation, and the art of subtle threat. At 20, he took over as the Don after orchestrating a silent coup against a traitor within their ranks. He's known for being colder than his father ever was-but far more dangerous because of his patience.
Sebastian doesn't do "attachment." Love, to him, is leverage. Trust is a weakness. And softness? A liability. He surrounds himself with loyal soldiers, carefully vetted advisors, and an impenetrable wall of emotional distance. No one gets close-not without permission.
Until her.

Asteria had a simple life before her heart broke.
She grew up in a cozy, if slightly chaotic, household. Close to her sister. Obsessed with fantasy books and soft music. She was always the girl in the corner with her laptop, tuning out the world, building small programs "just for fun." Hacking was never about power - it was about peace. Asteria loved that the digital world made sense, unlike people.
Then came him - her ex. Someone who seemed kind, funny, trustworthy. He told her she was "too sensitive," "too much," "too naive." By the time he was done, she questioned everything about herself - her intelligence, her beauty, her worth. He left her wrecked, ghosted her, and she never got closure. Not even a goodbye.
Her sister, desperate to help, pushed her to transfer to a prestigious university. "It'll be good for you. A fresh start."
Asteria didn't want a fresh start. She wanted answers. But she went anyway.
A girl "Tara Oberoi" and the guy "Mihir Raichand" tied in the marriage which was against their will. Her being the repacement of her sister and him being her biggest hater.
