PROLOGUE:-

RUDRANG'S POV

She is a goddess—my goddess, whom I'll worship all day, all night. The way I look at her, the way I talk to her, the way I touch her… I fucking don’t give anyone the right to do this.

I said she is mine. My love. My life. My heart. My heartbeat. My obsession. My possession.

And no matter what happens… I will love her the same, always.

SHIVANI'S POV

The word 'always' is not that easy. It means till infinity, till the end of life itself. And I… I am not something he could even keep with himself.

What I bury inside me, the truth I conceal—once he faces it, he won’t be able to love me the same.

I never want this to happen, but I can’t hide it forever.

I know I will crave this love, his care, his protection, but truth is truth. I need to tell Ang everything. I need to… and I will.

No matter if it shatters our happily wedded life, I have to. Because love built on a lie is nothing but a fragile illusion.

AUTHOR'S POV

His grip tightened around the glass in his hand, knuckles turning white. A storm raged in his dark, piercing eyes. "Why did you ever hide all this from me, Shivani?"

His voice was quiet, but there was a dangerous edge to it—a quiet fury laced with pain.

She exhaled shakily, her throat dry, her fingers curling into her dress as if seeking an anchor. "If I told you… would you still have loved me like this?"

Her words were barely a whisper, fragile and uncertain.

Silence stretched between them like a blade. Then, he moved—swift, imposing. One hand grasped her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

"YES!"

The single word was raw, almost a growl. His forehead pressed against hers, his breath uneven.

"I don’t love you for your perfection, Shivani. I love you because you are mine. Your scars, your truths, your pain—everything is mine to bear."

"Do you understand?"

His possessiveness coiled around her like an unbreakable chain.

Her heart thudded painfully against her ribs. She was guilty hiding all of her from the person who loved her this bad!!

"There are some secrets that are supposed to be hidden"
