She was the fire he never saw coming. He was the storm she vowed to destroy.

Aarohi Mehta had lived a quiet, content life—until the night her only brother, Vihaan, was killed in a crossfire during a mafia raid led by none other than Kabir Malhotra, the city’s most feared and powerful underworld figure. The authorities dismissed Vihaan’s death as a tragic accident, a casualty no one would be held accountable for. But to Aarohi, it was murder. And someone had to pay.

From that night on, the girl who once painted dreams turned into a woman driven by vengeance. She disappeared from the world that once knew her, buried her past, and was reborn as Aira Singh—a woman cloaked in elegance, mystery, and purpose. For two years, she watched Kabir from a distance, studied him, understood his habits, his empire, and most importantly, his weaknesses.

Then she made her move.

At a prestigious black-tie event hosted by one of Kabir’s close allies, Aira appeared like a vision—calm, graceful, and utterly unforgettable. Kabir noticed her instantly. Something about her drew him in—the sorrow in her eyes, the stillness in her presence. She was nothing like the world he ruled, and that intrigued him.

He fell first. Slowly, then all at once.
