He married her to destroy her world, his enemy's daughter, a pawn in his ruthless game of revenge. Cold, calculated, and feared, he expected tears, resistance, maybe even hatred. But what he found was something he never anticipated - a girl unloved, neglected by the very man he wanted to punish. Raised under the shadow of her brother in a patriarchal village where daughters meant little, she knew pain long before he brought it. His family warned her to leave, told her he was cruel, incapable of love. But they were unprepared for the truth: with her, he was different - protective, gentle, almost human. She didn't fear his wrath; she saw through it. And as he found himself drawn to the fire in her, his revenge began to unravel. But old enemies don't stay buried, and secrets run deeper than love. When the past resurfaces, will their twisted bond survive the storm or burn in it? BOOK 2 of "WHISPERS OF THE ROYAL HEARTS" series DIVE INTO THE STORY OF ARJUN and SAANVI.
