Bound by Ruin

Two powerful families. One calculated marriage. And a truth that could destroy them all. When the Khanna Group collapses and the Malhotra Consortium is blamed, centuries of legacy turn to ashes overnight. To stop the war from burning what little remains, a single solution is proposed—marriage. Rudra Khanna agrees for one reason: revenge. Ishani Malhotra accepts for another: survival. Strangers forced into a union neither wanted, they enter a marriage built on suspicion, silence, and unspoken resentment. Every glance is measured. Every word is a move. Trust is a luxury neither can afford. But as secrets surface and betrayals unravel, Rudra and Ishani discover a dangerous truth—the real enemy isn’t across the table. It’s within their own families. Bound by duty, bound by ruin, and slowly bound by something neither planned, they must decide whether their marriage will be the final weapon in a generational war—or the one place where truth, loyalty, and love can finally exist. Because when power is inherited through blood and betrayal, love becomes the most dangerous rebellion of all.
