DEDICATION

To every girl who has faced the worst a man could do and vowed never to trust another. To the ones who wear their bitchiness like armor, not because they enjoy it, but because it's the only way to keep the lingering fear from swallowing them whole.

To the ones who are judged, misunderstood, labeled as cruel-simply because the world never cared enough to know their story, their pain, or the reason behind their unbreakable walls. To the girls who are kind, who deserve everything, but hide it behind razor-sharp tongues and savage words, cutting down anyone who dares to come too close.

So, dearest bitch, turn these pages with that signature attitude of yours, step into the chaos of fiction, and let yourself be worshipped by your next favorite fictional fiancé. Because after all, he will be the one to break through that fear, match that fire in your eyes, and love the ruthless queen you've become.

KHUSHI KHATRI

The youngest daughter of one of the country's most infamous lawyers, feared for his mastery in high-profile business cases, Khushi Khatri was the definition of a spoiled, untouchable rich brat.

Sassy, sharp, and radiating a don't-give-a-fuck aura, her tongue was a weapon-one cut, and a person's confidence bled dry before they even knew what hit them. She didn't just keep people at a distance; she made sure they never dared to step close in the first place.

But even the wildest storms can't rage forever.

The illusion of her freedom shattered the day a secret-one even she was oblivious to-surfaced. A truth that flipped her world upside down.

She wasn't free. She never had been.

Because long before she even knew the meaning of marriage, she had already been claimed.

A childhood promise, sealed in ink and tradition, binding her to a man so opposite to her that even the thought of him set her teeth on edge.

And the worst part?

She had already grown up. The time had come to fulfill the promise neither of them had agreed to.

SHAURYA MALHOTRA

Born into wealth. Raised in power. A young billionaire with the world at his feet, Shaurya Malhotra took over his father's tech empire with nothing but ruthless ambition and calculated precision.

Money? He had it. Fame? That too. A loving family, endless opportunities, a clear vision for the future-everything was laid out, planned, and waiting for him to execute.

But life doesn't give a damn about plans.

Because just when he thought he had it all under control, she stormed in.

His childhood fiancée.

The girl who was the complete opposite of everything he stood for.

The girl who hated him.

The girl he hated.

And suddenly, all his carefully constructed dreams were crumbling at his feet, dragged into a storm of fire, fury, and a battle of wills that neither of them was willing to lose.

---

But when hatred burns brighter than reason, and fate refuses to let go, what happens next?

Would they manage to break free from the chains of a childhood promise they never wanted?

Or...

Would the force of their clashing worlds pull them into an inescapable gravity-one that doesn't just bind them to marriage...

But traps them in it forever?
