𝐕𝐢𝐡𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚 built empires with blood on his hands and walls around his heart. To him, love was weakness - a promise that burned deeper than any betrayal. When his family forced him into marriage, he vowed he could give his wife anything but love.
𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐩 𝐌𝐞𝐡𝐫𝐚 was twenty-three, shy, and hopelessly in love with the man who didn't believe in it. For five years she had dreamed of him, prayed for him, lived for him. And now fate gave her his name... but not his heart.
This isn't a love story.
It's a cage, gilded with power and fire.
A storm waiting to break.
Because sometimes the cruelest vows bind two souls tighter than love ever could.
And sometimes, cages aren't made to trap-
but to set you free.
