One single night... that was all it took to tear Isha’s tranquil world apart.At eighteen, Isha was the very definition of innocence—strikingly beautiful, gentle, and utterly pure. Her dreams were modest, tucked neatly inside the boundaries of a simple life: land a decent job, bring pride to her family, and share a quiet, peaceful existence with a good man.Fate, however, had written a far darker script.When her family arranged her marriage to Vihaan Oberoi, the youngest son of the elite Oberoi family, excitement filled her home. Everyone celebrated the match, and Isha resigned herself to the promise of a golden future, ready to step into a new chapter.Then came that fateful night, just days before the wedding.A tangled spiral of tragic circumstances forced Isha across the path of a man who belonged to the shadows. Reyansh was no ordinary aristocrat—he was the underworld's most ruthless, feared mafia king. Blinded by intoxication and caught in a sudden storm beyond her control, that night bound their destinies together in blood and fire.As dawn broke, a terrified Isha made a silent vow to herself: she would bury every horrifying detail of that night forever. She would run, hide, and pray her eyes never met his again.Fate, it seemed, was only getting started.The wedding rituals began in full grandeur. The sprawling Oberoi Mansion glittered under thousands of golden lights, echoing with laughter and celebration. Draped in bridal finery, Isha slowly descended the grand staircase. But as her gaze drifted toward the gathered crowd, her body froze.Standing right at the center of the hall was the one man from her nightmares.Reyansh...The heavy brass pooja platter in her hands nearly crashed to the marble floor.In that agonizing second, the cruel truth shattered her world into pieces. Vihaan Oberoi wasn't just the youngest son of the family—he was Reyansh Oberoi’s nephew. And the supreme commander, the undisputed emperor of the vast Oberoi empire and all its dark shadows... was Reyansh himself.Isha’s breath hitched in her throat. The very devil she tried to flee to the ends of the earth was standing in his own fortress. And her wedding was set to take place right beneath his roof.Across the crowded grand hall, Reyansh’s lethal, pitch-black eyes never left her. To the rest of the world, she was a bride. To him, she had become his most dangerous obsession.A tyrant who had slaughtered countless men without a single thread of remorse was suddenly gripped by a terrifying new emotion: the fear of losing her.And Reyansh Oberoi could lose his empire, his bloodline, or his life—but never Isha. If claiming her meant burning the entire world to ash, he would light the flame. If it meant tearing his own family apart, he wouldn't hesitate for a heartbeat. Anyone who dared lay a claim on Isha, or even dared to dream of touching what was his, would take their very last breath.Because Reyansh Oberoi didn't do gentle love. He possessed.And now, innocent Isha had become his ultimate, deadly addiction.A dangerous game had just begun. On one side stood a fragile, innocent girl trapped in a gilded cage. On the other... the world’s most ruthless mafia king.And caught right in the middle was a wedding that Reyansh would reduce to cinders before letting it happen.
