To us, From the Storm

Iraaya Shinde never imagined her life would be signed away on a piece of paper.

But when her father's crumbling empire leaves him drowning in debt, a stranger walks through their door with an offer that is impossible to refuse - and terms that are impossible to accept.

Aarav Vaidya. Cold. Calculated. The kind of man who builds walls so quietly you don't realise you're already trapped inside them. His offer is simple. He will clear every debt, take over the business, and in return - Iraaya will be his wife. One year. A contract. Nothing more.

What he doesn't tell her is why.

What she doesn't know is that this was never about her father's debt.

It was always about his revenge.

Forced into a marriage she didn't choose, working beside a man she can't figure out, Iraaya finds herself caught between hating Aarav Vaidya and understanding him - and the two feelings are far more dangerous combined than either one alone.

Because storms don't warn you before they arrive.

And some storms, once they find you -
don't let go.
