The scent of roses and jasmine clung to the air, mixing with the distant hum of wedding bells. Aanya stood before the mirror, her bridal lehenga shimmering under the golden glow of the chandeliers. This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life.

A crash. A scream. Then darkness.

A deep voice cut through the silence. "You were never meant to marry him."
Her heart pounded. Who was he? Why did he take her? And why, in the pit of her fear, did something else stir—a feeling she couldn't name, yet couldn't ignore?
