Ira Ranawat lived a quiet, secluded life in London.
She did bartending at night, was a librarian in the day. It didn't pay her bills, but money wasn't what she worked for.
For her, life had always been bound to the four walls of her room. Being born in an influential family as a bastard child doesn't allow you much freedom. So, when she was set free, she took the chance and never looked back. The only rule she had to follow? Never step back in India. Easy, right?
It was.
Until one fine evening, at the stroke of midnight, the sturdy door of the club opened, revealing the most gorgeous man she had ever seen.
Ira made a mistake.
She fell for the man she was never destined to meet, let alone find a happy ending with.
And lo and behold, loving someone, as always, only took from her. Leaving her abandoned, again.
Tragic, isn't it? Well, that's how all epic love stories end.
Rudra Rana Singh Rawal was abandoned at the age of two.
Stolen name.
Stolen identity.
Stolen crown.
He has lived the life of a thief despite being a Prince.
There's only one thing he is surviving for: Revenge.
And there's only one person he's living for: His Esther.
Who's more important? The reason that's keeping him alive, or the reason he hasn't given up for? He's afraid he'll have to steal one to win another.
But revenge is a war. It cannot be stolen.
It should be won.
And this time, he's determined to rise as a winner.
