Bound By Rage

*"She wanted a marriage of convenience. He thought she was just another gold-digger.

To the world, Shubman Gill has it all: the fame, the flawless cricket career, the money, and a legacy that makes him India's most eligible bachelor. But behind the arrogant smirk and the flashing paparazzi cameras is a man hardened by betrayal. After his ex-girlfriend traded his trust for a tabloid paycheck, Shubman drew a line in the sand: women only care about the brand, not the man. When his parents force him into an arranged marriage, he accepts out of sheer duty to his family-but he does it with a heart full of rage. He vows to give his new bride his name and his wealth, but absolutely none of his heart.

Anaya Sharma never believed in fairy tales, but she didn't expect her life to become a transactional nightmare either. When her parents insist on a match with the country's golden boy to protect the family's honor, she can't find it in her heart to refuse them. Expecting a kind-hearted gentleman, she is instead met with a cold, ruthless, and deeply cynical husband who treats her like a parasite from day one.

Anaya isn't a victim, and she certainly isn't a pushover. If Shubman wants to play the arrogant villain, she is more than ready to be his match.
By day, they are India's ultimate power couple, flashing perfect smiles for the media. By night, behind closed doors, their penthouse becomes a psychological battlefield of savage comebacks, icy glances, and a burning tension that neither is willing to admit might just be something else entirely.
