Vows of Ruin

"Can we kiss before stabbing each other?"

The words should have sounded like a joke but between Nevan Raizada and Avira Kapoor, they never were

༺═────────────═༻

Nevan's fingers closed around Avira's wrist, stopping her before she could walk away.

His expression remained perfectly calm. "You knew I said no."

Avira glanced at his hand, then slowly looked back at him. "And you knew I don't take orders."

"You attended my rival's party."

A faint smile touched her lips. "And survived it. Quite beautifully, actually."

They hated each other

Until their families decided that two powerful names, two empires, and one carefully negotiated agreement could turn hatred into a marriage.

Nevan Raizada, heir to one of India's most influential conglomerate businesses, has always known exactly what is expected of him. Control. Power. Loyalty to the family name.

Avira Kapoor, an internationally celebrated supermodel, has built a life around one thing Nevan cannot stand giving her-

freedom.

Their marriage isn't a love story.

It's a deal.

A union designed to strengthen two families, protect their interests, and bury the history neither of them wants uncovered.

But hatred has a dangerous habit of blurring into something neither of them planned for.

And when old secrets begin resurfacing, the vows they were forced to make may become the very thing that ruins them.

Because sometimes-

the person you were meant to destroy
is the one you were never meant to lose.
