Prologue
Scars don't fade.
They whisper. They bleed in silence. They remind you that the world has already stolen something it can never return.
Meher knew this too well. Every smile she forced, every step she took into Infinity's glass empire was a battle against the shadows that lived inside her. She was just a receptionist to the world - invisible, replaceable. But behind her quiet eyes lay a story no one dared to hear.
And then came him.
Shivank Singh Rathore. COO of Infinity. Second-in-command of the most feared Mafia syndicate. He wasn't just a man - he was control wrapped in tailored suits, danger hidden behind calm eyes. To the world, he was untouchable. To her, he became inescapable.
Their worlds were never meant to collide.
But destiny doesn't ask for permission.
It carves its own path - through scars, silence, blood, and fire.
This is not a love story.
It is a story of survival, of power, of two broken souls chained by fate...
and the darkness that refused to let them go.

• Grumpy COO × Bold receptionist
