Severed

Detective Asmita Agnihotri walks into Gokul Mansion with a badge, a case file, and absolutely no intention of bowing to anyone-least of all the state's most revered man, Umakant "Dadasaheb" Gokhle. The moment she utters his name, the house turns against her. Sharp gazes. Cold silence. A warning in every corner.

But nothing shocks her more than the man who steps forward from the shadows-

Abhimaan Gokhle.
Her old college frenemy.
The popular, privileged, impossible-to-ignore boy she once couldn't stand.

Now a powerful businessman.
Now standing between her and the truth.
And somehow... now her husband.

When a sudden family crisis forces Asmita into a marriage of convenience with Abhimaan, she enters a world where loyalty is law, silence is currency, and secrets are buried deeper than the foundations of their ancestral home. Sharing a room with him becomes its own battlefield-a slow burn of clashing tempers, unspoken memories, and an attraction neither of them wants to name.

Abhimaan protects her, stands by her, believes in her-
until her investigation leads to a chilling possibility:

The Gokhle family might be involved in crimes darker than she imagined.
And the man she's married to... might be tied to it without realizing.

Duty pulls her one way.
Emotion pulls her another way.
And Gokul Mansion watches-its walls thick with legacy, lies, and the tension between them.

In a house where everyone hates her presence, Asmita must decide:
Will she uncover the truth even if it destroys the man who quietly chose her?
Or will she lose herself-and her heart-to a family built on shadows?

A story of loyalty, buried secrets, forced closeness, and a love born in the most dangerous place of all: the truth.
