Vengeful Relations [#2 in The Tainted Throne Series]

He married me for revenge.
I married him for duty.
We both got more than we bargained for.

I never wanted an arranged marriage.
But when my family needs me, I don't hesitate. Even if it means marrying a man I barely know. Even if it means leaving behind the life I've built.
Arshit Singh Rajput is everything I didn't expect-brilliant, intense, and devastatingly attractive. Our wedding night changes everything. Suddenly, this business arrangement feels like so much more.
I fall fast. I fall hard.
I give him everything-my trust, my body, my heart.
What I don't know is that every touch, every kiss, every whispered "I love you" is part of a plan. A plan that started long before he ever knew my name.
Because Arshit didn't marry me for love.
He married me for revenge.
And I was foolish enough to believe in fairy tales.

He vowed to destroy my family.
Instead, he destroyed me.

She wasn't supposed to matter.
The marriage was strategy-get close to the family, gather information, make them pay for what they did to my parents. Simple. Clean. Necessary.
But Ruhanika Agnihotri is nothing like I expected.
She's brilliant. Kind. Innocent in ways that make me feel like a monster. And when she looks at me with those mismatched eyes-one green, one blue-I forget every reason I'm supposed to hate her family.
I tell myself I can compartmentalize. Love her and destroy them.
I'm wrong.
Because when you play with fire, someone gets burned. And when she discovers the truth-when she looks at me with betrayal instead of love-I realize I've destroyed the only thing that ever mattered.
Now I have to live with what I've done.
Or die trying to fix it.
