Shubman Kohli had it all: the captaincy, the fame, and a future that stretched toward the horizon. But after a single, devastating night in a hotel suite, the Prince of Indian Cricket is forced into a golden cage. Bound by a high-stakes alliance to the ruthless Alpha heir, Abhishek Singh, Shubman must trade his jersey for tradition and his bat for a life of silent submission. Between the cold marble of the Singh mansion and the suffocating weight of an Alpha's claim, Shubman is told his playing days are over. The world thinks he retired for family; his team knows he was stolen. But as the gates of the estate lock behind him, Shubman discovers that while you can take a bird from the sky, you can't take the sky from the bird. With a legendary mentor in his corner and a brotherhood that refuses to let him go, Shubman begins a dangerous game of defiance. In a world where biology is used as a weapon and love feels like a war, can the Prince reclaim his throne? Or will the Singh empire finally break the man who was born to fly?

"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.
