"I think Devraj Suryavanshi disappeared years ago."
His gaze didn't leave hers. Calm. Dangerous. Familiar enough to hurt.
"The only person left is Dev..." he said quietly, "and even he only exists around you, Vedu."
Vaidehi smiled faintly, though it never reached her eyes. "That's the problem, Dev," she whispered. "You only become him when it's already too late."
Once upon a time, Devraj Suryavanshi and Vaidehi Shekhawat were inseparable-two children raised in the shadows of political rallies and family dinners, bound by feelings they weren't brave enough to name.
Then everything shattered.
A single night of betrayal turned a lifelong friendship into a war and two powerful families into bitter enemies.
Years later, Devraj is the cold political strategist everyone fears. Vaidehi is the fearless journalist dedicated to tearing down the very system he was born to protect.
Now, politics has forced them into a marriage neither of them wants.
They stand before cameras with practiced smiles while old hatred and unresolved feelings simmer beneath the surface. But as Vaidehi begins digging into the dark secrets that destroyed their past, Devraj realizes a terrifying truth: the legacy he is fighting for was built on a foundation of lies.
Devraj must choose: protect the throne he was built to occupy, or burn it all down to save the girl he was supposed to hate.
In politics, power decides everything. Except who ruins your heart.
