~He didn’t marry her to love her.
He married her so she could never escape him~.

RUDRA SINGH RATHORE : Indian police officer, billionaire, and feared by all; is not a hero, not a lover, and not a typical fiancé.

He is the ultimate Hades.
A man who controls everything… even her life.

DURGASHAKTI RATHEE is a strong-willed, fearless, and unbreakable woman.

She was chosen as his fiancée in childhood;
a woman, fate bound to him long before either of them had a choice.

He never wanted this marriage. Never wanted her. But when circumstances tighten like a noose and secrets threaten to destroy everything he has built, Rudra does the only thing he knows how to do; He traps her.

Not a love marriage. Not arranged. Not forced. A trap marriage, crafted for the fiery woman who was slowly unraveling his control.

A union born of duty, buried grief, and unspoken rage. A cage disguised as vows.
But Hades has secrets and some truths were hidden even from him.

And Persephone was never meant to stay silent.

As past wounds bleed into the present and buried truths claw their way out, the line between punishment and penance begins to blur.

Will Shakti survive the dark world Rudra has created? Or will the billionaire police officer claim her completely; body, mind, and soul?

A dark second chance royal romance of obsession, guilt, and redemption; where broken vows lead to unforgivable desire.
