Bound to the RUTHLESS

Aarohi never thought her life would shatter because of someone else's mistake.

One signature.
One debt.
One ruthless man.

Forced into a marriage she never chose, she becomes the wife of Karan Malhotra-Delhi's most feared name. A man people don't just respect... they fear. A mafia king hiding behind the mask of a powerful CEO.

But to him, Aarohi isn't a wife.

She's a transaction.
A liability.
A reminder of a debt that should've never existed.

Inside his cold, silent mansion, where rules are stricter than prison walls, Aarohi learns to survive his silence, his anger... and his cruel indifference.

Yet something unexpected happens.

Her softness starts cracking his control.
Her silence starts speaking louder than his commands.
And her presence becomes the one thing he cannot ignore.

Karan hates it.

He hates how she looks at him like he's still human.
He hates how her pain makes him hesitate.
He hates... that he's starting to care.

But just when Aarohi begins to believe there's more to him than darkness-
she discovers the truth that breaks her completely.

Their marriage was never meant to last.

She was never meant to stay.

She was just a temporary deal... already signed away.

Now the time has come.

He should let her go.
He has to let her go.

But what happens when the man who never believed in love...
refuses to lose the only person who taught him how to feel?

A story of power, pain, betrayal... and a love that was never supposed to exist.
