Prologue

Aaradhya Mehra’s hands were still cold. Anxiety pulsed through her veins, and her heart was a storm of unease. Tonight, everything was about to change. The words still echoed in her ears:

“A woman is only valuable until the moment she’s sold.”

Her own family… the very people who were supposed to protect her had turned her into a commodity for an auction. Tonight, she would be priced, sold like an object, stripped of her dignity by those who once called her their own.

But in the shadows, someone else was watching.

Rudra Veer Rathore.

The most feared mafia boss of Italy.

He hadn’t been invited. He had come for a business deal. But the moment his eyes landed on her—that fragile, broken girl who had no idea that this night would steal her last shred of freedom—something inside him shifted. The devil within him awakened.

Aaradhya had seen him too. The dark suit, the sharp jawline, those ice-cold eyes that seemed devoid of emotion… for a fleeting second, her heart forgot to beat.

She didn’t know it yet, but her fate had already been decided.

Rudra smirked coldly and uttered just one line:

“This deal will only happen if the girl belongs to me—forever.”

For Aaradhya, the journey from one hell to another had just begun.
