He ruled the state. She wanted to expose him. Neither expected to become each other's ruin.

𝗔𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗥𝗮𝗷𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗵 had spent months digging into the corruption surrounding Uttar Pradesh's most powerful politician, Chief Minister 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗿𝘆𝗮 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘂𝗵𝗮𝗻.

She expected a powerful man with dangerous secrets.

She didn't expect him to become obsessed with her.

It began at the Ganga Aarti.

Amid thousands of devotees, ringing bells, rising flames, and the sacred waters of Banaras, Shaurya stood before the river, performing the Aarti with a massive brass lamp in his hands.

Then he saw her.

A woman in a deep blue anarkali, sitting in a small wooden boat, watching him without fear, awe, or hesitation.

Aahana thought challenging him would be the beginning of his downfall. Instead, it became the beginning of hers.

Because she was determined to expose Sarkar, while Sarkar had already decided she belonged in his world

And when Aahana refuses to surrender, he gives her a choice she cannot escape.

Marry him... or watch everything she loves burn with the man she swore to destroy.

He wanted her silence.

He got her as his wife.

Now the woman who wanted to expose his darkest secrets is trapped inside the world of the man who has made her his greatest obsession.
