Anshita’s heart pounded in her chest as the heavy doors of the grand ballroom creaked open.

She stood at the threshold, her bridal lehenga shimmering under the golden light of the chandeliers.

This was supposed to be her big day—a union arranged by her family, a match that seemed perfect on paper.
Yet, something felt off.

The room was filled with murmurs, whispers growing louder as he entered.

Viaan Suryavanshi. The prince of Rajasthan. The man she had adored in silence since childhood.

He was supposed to be nothing more than a guest at her wedding, but the look in his eyes told a different story. Cold. Calculated. Unreadable.

He walked toward her, each step deliberate, each moment stretching longer than it should.

The air around him was heavy, charged with an aura that demanded attention and instilled fear.
The room fell silent, all eyes turning to them. Anshita’s hands trembled as he stopped mere inches from her.

“I have a proposal,” he said, his deep voice slicing through the stillness.

Her breath hitched. He wasn’t supposed to be here. Not like this. Not now.

“This wedding,” he continued, glancing at the groom standing at the altar,

“won’t happen.”

Gasps erupted around the room. Her father’s face darkened with anger, but before anyone could react,
Viaan turned back to her, his eyes locking with hers.

“Marry me instead.”

The words hung in the air like a challenge, daring her to refuse.
Her world tilted, and for a moment, she couldn’t speak, couldn’t breathe.

This was her dream, her first love standing before her, offering her everything she’d ever wanted.

But something in his gaze told her this wasn’t about love.

It was something darker.
