They said fate was kind.

But fate had been cruel to her.

Inaaya Mehra, Twenty-Two Year Old Art Student never asked for love, atleast not from the man who married her with fire in his eyes and vengeance in his heart. She was nothing more than collateral damage in a war that wasn't hers. A pawn. A placeholder. A revenge bride.

Aarav singh Rathore, Thirty-Four Year old Business Tycoon, didn't believe in coincidences. Only in calculated moves. She was his best friend's sister-the sister of the man who betrayed him. And what better way to destroy a man than to take away the one person he loved most?

Except...

He didn't expect her eyes to haunt him.

He didn't expect her silence to scream louder than her words.

He didn't expect to fall for the one woman he swore to break.

Now, she's everything he never knew he wanted.

And he's the one thing she vowed to never forgive.

But life has a wicked sense of humor.

Because love, real love-it doesn't ask for permission.

It burns, it breaks, and then...

It builds something unshakable from the ashes.

This is not a story of love at first sight.

This is a story of rage, ruin, and a redemption written by fate.

Of two hearts at war.

And one destiny that refused to be denied.
