Aaryan Mehra is a self-made billionaire in his early thirties, known across continents as the enigmatic CEO of Mehra Luxe Hotels, a global hospitality empire built with precision, discipline, and pain. Behind his tailored suits and icy gaze lies a past he never speaks of—the brutal murder of his father by the mafia, a trauma that fuels his hatred for everything related to the underworld. Aaryan is coldly logical, fiercely guarded, and allergic to emotional vulnerability, but beneath that armor is a man who craves genuine connection. He’s drawn to control, yet when he meets Alina, her innocence and warmth unravel him. Her presence becomes the one place where his walls soften—until betrayal strikes, and the man who never forgives is forced to face the only thing he fears more than losing control: losing her.

Alina Moretti is a beautiful, soft-spoken woman in her mid-twenties, the youngest child and only daughter of Italy’s notorious Moretti mafia family. Sheltered from the violence of her lineage, she was raised in love and luxury by her fiercely protective father and three overbearing brothers. Educated abroad and far removed from the criminal operations of her family, Alina has grown up dreaming of normalcy—of love untouched by blood and bullets. With a heart full of compassion and a mind wiser than her sweetness suggests, she falls deeply for Aaryan, never intending to hurt him. But when the truth of her heritage clashes with his deepest wound, she’s forced to choose between honesty and the fear of losing him forever. Loyal, brave, and quietly resilient, Alina is a woman torn between the legacy she never chose and the love she refuses to surrender.
