Aidan Romano and Aranya Shaktawat have known each other for seven years.

They know each other's weak spots.
They know exactly where it hurts.
They know how to destroy each other without ever raising their voices.

They hate that.

They hate that the world thinks they're in love.

Their engagement is fake.
Their marriage contract is real.
Whatever is growing between them was never planned.

To the world, they are flawless, a power couple made for headlines.

In reality,
they are two predators trapped in the same cage,
pretending to be lovers while someone in the dark waits for the perfect moment to break them.

This was never meant to be a love story.

But when control starts to feel like need, when hatred begins to taste like hunger, when walking away hurts more than staying

One question remains-
will it end in love,
or in blood?
