In a world where luxury hides the wounds of torments and expectations suppress the self-identity of a person, Mira finds herself bound to a husband she barely knows, a man both magnetic and distant, whose world is as tempting as it is isolating.
Forced into a life of high society people and their dark secrets, Mira faces Arth's cold indifference, and resentment while fighting with her own fears and desires; bound by tradition and the heavy weight of the mangal sutra, she feels like a prisoner, unable to escape the suffocating life that has crushed her spirit and silenced her dreams. As their worlds collide, their relationship twists through moments of tension, wrath and warmth, unspoken emotion and cold words, drawn to each other yet pushing away, building a story defined by both distance and intimacy. Will they ever find their way to each other, or will remain apart by walls of pride and pain?
Join them on their journey, a romance form with struggles and vulnerability, and the search for connection amidst all that separates them.

Rose And Thorn I
"Leave... me," she stuttered, struggling with those simple words. Sweat formed on her forehead as she felt so small and weak in his presence. He grabbed her waist and pulled her close -so close that he could feel the warmth of her breath against his skin. Her heartbeats echoed in his ears, and her lavender scent intoxicated him. Her soft, milky skin met his cold, rough hands, and the contact left her feeling both bruised and electrified. To him, it was a mere touch, but to her fragile body, it was intense. His hands roamed her back, pressing her closer against him. He pinned her against the wall, their bodies flush with each other. His breath was hot against her ear as he whispered, "Do not think that this marriage will change anything between us. You are nothing to me but a wife in name." Her pulse quickened, and despite the harshness of his words, she felt a forbidden heat rising within her. His lips brushed against her neck, sending shivers down her spine. The line between pain and pleasure blurred as he held her there, trapped in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions.
