Ties of Desire

ATHARV SINGH RAIZADA

Age: 33 | Height: 6’5 ft | Status: Dangerously unavailable

CEO of the mighty Raizada Empire, Atharv isn’t just a man, he’s a storm in a tailored suit. Cold-hearted, sharp-jawed, and sinfully sculpted, he’s the kind of devil women dream of and fear waking up next to. The media calls him ruthless. The board calls him genius. But behind closed doors, he’s just a man with ice in his veins until she walks in.

The Raizada blood runs royal.

Son of Revati and Abhay Singh Raizada, Atharv is the apple of the family’s eye, the golden heir who carries both the weight of a legacy and the discipline of a soldier.

Family means everything to him. His Chacha and Chachi are like a second set of parents, always there with warmth and wisdom. And his cousins, Vihaan and Roohi, are more like siblings than extended family his constants in a world that never slows down.

He works. He builds. He rules.

Feelings? Not on his agenda.

Because ruling an empire demands focus.

And distractions? He’s never allowed one.

Until her.

EVARA KAPOOR

Age: 22 | Status: Dangerously curious

A golden girl with dreams too big for small minds. A recent grad from IISc Bangalore, Evara Kapoor walks into the Raizada Empire with nothing but a stellar resume, a killer smile, and a spark in her eyes that even the darkest man can’t resist.

She’s sunshine dipped in ambition,

Soft, but never weak.

Kind, but no pushover.

A heart full of dreams and a spine made of steel.

Daughter of Raghav Kapoor (an esteemed professor with poetry in his soul) and Anaya Kapoor (a former classical dancer turned entrepreneur), Evara was raised on art, intellect, and fierce independence. She’s an only child, but loneliness never found her. Books did. Music did. And now, Atharv might too.

But she doesn’t know that wanting the devil has consequences.

And he doesn’t know that light can blind just as much as it can heal.
