Veiled In Ruin

He never forgot her name.

Not once. Not in nine years. Not through the blood and the power and the silence.

Not ever.

Viransh Singhania is the kind of man who doesn't love halfway. Who doesn't want halfway. Who looked at a girl once really looked - and decided, quietly, irreversibly, that there would never be anyone else.

And there wasn't.

Nine years. An ocean between them. An empire built with bloodied hands and an aching heart. And through all of it - her. Always her. Like a religion he never chose but could never abandon.

Like a wound that never healed because somewhere, deep down, he never wanted it to.

She is his ruin. His salvation. The only thing in a world full of power that ever made him feel powerless.

And he would do it all again - every sin, every scar, every sleepless night -

just to end up exactly here.
