To him, she was nothing more than an obligation he resented. Looking at her filled him with disgust and shame. He couldn't bear the thought of calling her his wife or showing her to his friends. In his voice, during their wedding night, he told her, "Not just me, nobody can bear to sleep beside you. You're a darkness, a curse, a harbinger of misfortune and suffering. You're like the darkest, most miserable night who only brings pain." She had married him in poverty, but after their union, he became wealthy. Yet he never once introduced her proudly as his wife.

At nineteen, Aariya's world fell apart. She grew up with her poor aunt and uncle after losing her parents. Life was tough, but they gave her a home and helped her finish school. She worked hard and got a small job at a local hotel-just enough to live with dignity. Then came a promise of a better job in the city. She trusted it. But it was a trap. She was nearly sold to a brothel-betrayed and terrified. That's when Reyansh showed up. Rich. Arrogant. The kind of man used to getting what he wants. He noticed her-not because she cried, but because she didn't. She didn't care about his money or charm, and that bothered him. So, he did something reckless. He bought her. Not to save her. Not to love her. Just to keep her. He brought her to his home-not as a lover or a wife, just a girl trapped in a golden cage. But something changed. In her silence, he saw her pain. In her strength, he saw something real. She wanted freedom. He couldn't let her go. He never meant to care. But now... she's the only one who makes him feel anything at all.
