Shayesha Rawat was devotion—pure, soft, untouched by the darkness of the world. But the girl who believed in sacred vows and divine love… hides a truth no one has ever seen. A past buried so deep, even her prayers tremble. Now, she lives in Rishikesh. Quiet. Distant. Guarded. No longer the girl who once believed that love feels like peace. Because sometimes… love feels like punishment. But Ahaan Oberoi never believed in prayers. Only power. Control. And promises he never breaks. Once, he was her childhood best friend. Her first promise. Her forever. Now, he is feared. Ruthless. Untouchable. A man who owns the world… yet is bound to a name he never let go of—hers. And when fate ties them in a marriage neither of them chose… It’s not a union. It’s a war. Of silence. Of hatred. Of emotions neither of them can escape. Because Shayesha doesn’t just hate him… She fears what he reminds her of. And Ahaan? He doesn’t understand her silence… But it pulls him in like a dangerous obsession.
