> She married a monster to save her family. She nearly died trying to survive him. When Aarohi is forced into a marriage with the cruel and violent Prithvi Singh, she quickly learns that some cages come wrapped in gold and silk. Behind closed doors, he breaks her - body, mind, and voice - while the world continues to applaud their perfect picture. But fate intervenes the night she almost dies at his hands... And his younger brother, Veer - the quiet protector she never knew she needed - is the one who finds her. What begins as a silent promise of safety turns into something more fragile... and more powerful than love itself: healing. But Aarohi flinches at kindness. Trust is a stranger. And desire? A ghost that feels too dangerous to touch. Until one day, her heart begins to whisper again. What if not all men hurt? What if this time, the fire won't destroy her... but keep her warm? A story of survival, scars, stolen lullabies and the man who stood by her - not to fix her, but to wait until she was ready to bloom. Because sometimes, love doesn't come with lightning and roses. Sometimes... it comes quietly. After the ashes. Before the dawn.
