He went still, his entire body tense. "Vaidehi," he said hoarsely. "Let go." She only held tighter. "No." "Let go!" His voice broke, deeper, more desperate. "Don't make me hurt you." "You won't," she whispered, her voice trembling yet sure. He exhaled sharply and turned, breaking free from her arms. His hands found her thorat, holding her still but not hurting her. His eyes burned into hers - full of fury, fear, and something far more dangerous. "Hum aapko barbaad kar denge," he hissed, voice low and shaking. "Aap dur rahiye humse, Vaidehi. I'm not the man you think I am. I destroy everything I touch." Tears spilled down her cheeks, but she met his gaze without flinching. "Then destroy me," she said quietly. "But stop running." 🌙 Vaidehi's world turns upside down when her family's business begins to collapse. In a desperate attempt to save their empire, her father, Virendra Bansal, accepts a deal from the powerful Suryavanshi family - a merger sealed not only with signatures, but with marriage. Rudra Suryavanshi, the cold and ruthless heir, is forced to marry Vaidehi as part of his father's deal. To him, she's nothing more than another chain binding his freedom, a reminder of his father's control. But to Vaidehi, raised on love and duty, this marriage is her sacrifice - a way to save her family. What begins as a deal of power and resentment takes a complicated turn after one fateful night leaves her pregnant with his child. Now, tied by something far deeper than business, Rudra must face the emotions he's long buried - and Vaidehi must decide whether love can bloom in the ruins of hate. 🌙
