She thought silence would keep her daughter safe. She was wrong.Five years ago, Lavanya Sen walked away from the only man she ever loved — and carried a secret out the door with her that she swore she'd bury forever. She rebuilt everything from nothing: a job, a home, a life for her daughter that had no room for ghosts.Then Rishi Roy walked into her office as the company's new CEO.He isn't the boy who once begged her to stay. Five years of rage reshaped him into someone colder, sharper — a man who climbed to the top for one reason only: to find the woman who threw him away and make her regret it. He doesn't know her daughter has his eyes. He doesn't know the promotion she just earned, the apartment she just paid off, the life she just stabilized — all of it is one careless word away from collapsing.Every meeting is a battlefield. Every glance from him feels like a threat and a memory at once. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more Lavanya understands the real danger was never revenge.It's what happens when he finds out why she really left.
