“Love was never supposed to be his weakness, and she was never supposed to be his addiction.” Ved Singh Rathore had everything once—a family, a wife, a son. And then, in a cruel twist of fate, he had nothing left to lose. So, he did what he knew best—he locked his heart away, buried the past, and built an empire in Mexico, one where feelings had no place. He thought he was untouchable. Until she happened. Arvisha Gupta was not supposed to enter his world. She was too young, too reckless, too full of life—the kind of chaos he had spent years avoiding. But she walked into his company, unapologetic, determined, messy, and utterly brilliant. And for the first time in years, Ved felt something dangerous. But he refused to let her in. Refused to acknowledge the way her laughter chipped away at his silence. Refused to see the way her love was so unconditional, it made him want to run. So, he did. He broke her heart. He called her love a joke. He let her go. And now, standing in India, watching her slip an engagement ring on her finger, Ved realized— He fucked up. But if she thought he’d just stand there and let her walk away forever— She was so, so wrong. Because Ved Singh Rathore had nothing left to lose. Except her. And this time, he wasn’t afraid of playing dirty.
