Prologue & Author Note
The mandap shimmered with gold and maroon drapes, echoing laughter, music, and dreams.
Meera Sharma stood adorned in crimson silk, the smile on her face brighter than the jewels she wore.
A But when the priest called for the groom — silence filled the air.
Her fiancé, Rishabh, was gone. And so was her stepsister, Raina.
Minutes later, they appeared — hands intertwined, eyes defiant.
“I’m sorry, Meera,” Rishabh said, voice hollow. “I love her… not you…..”
In that moment, the laughter died, her heart cracked like glass break into multiple pieces , and her world turned to ash.
Days later, she left her city with only determination in her suitcase and pain in her chest.
In Mumbai, she walked into a world completely different — one of flashing lights, secrets, and power. And there, fate led her to Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi — a man whose voice ruled millions, but whose world was built in the shadows.
He was fire wrapped in ice. She was light buried in pain.
And destiny was ready to play its darkest melody.
💥 The Mafia Angle:
The Raghuwanshi empire deals with global trade, music, and security—but beneath it lies a web of power, politics, and silent control over Mumbai’s underground. Ishaan and Vihaan maintain peace but are feared by rivals.
When Meera unknowingly steps into their world, she becomes both Ishaan’s weakness and his strength.
But her return to peace is threatened when her ex-fiancé and stepsister ally with Ishaan’s enemies, forcing Meera to confront the truth behind the man she loves…..

The Day My World Crumbled
💔🖤💔Roothi hui yaadein,Waapas nahin aati
Pyaar ke jo dor toote,Phir jud nahin paati
Aitebaar tumpe thaa,Khud se bhi zyaada
Ab kabhi naa karnaa,Koi aur waadaa
Aankhon ke saagar,Ab naa sukhhenge
Kasam hai hamein,Ab hum kabhi naa milenge💔🖤💔
The sunlight streamed through the large French windows of the Sharma mansion. The air smelled of marigold, roses, and freshly polished wood. Meera stood in front of the full-length mirror, adjusting her crimson red lehenga embroidered with golden zari — her mother’s favorite pattern.
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“Aaj mera din hai… meri dream wedding … Mera pyaar Rishabh ke saath.”
(Today is my day…my dream wedding..with Rishabh my love)♥️🌺🩵
Her hands trembled slightly as she touched the her lhenga, the intricate embroidery shining in the morning sun. The dupatta, ivory with delicate pearl borders, was draped carefully over her shoulder. Her hair, styled in soft curls, glimmered with tiny golden pins.
The mandap was decorated in shades of red and gold, marigolds draped around pillars, fairy lights twinkling above. Candles flickered gently. The priests were ready, their holy chants echoing softly. Guests had started arriving.
Aarav Sharma(STEP BROTHER)
“Are you ready Meera?”
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“Yes bhai I am just nervous”
Aarav Sharma(STEP BROTHER)
(helping her with lehenga): “Meeru bccha don’t be nervous aaj sab tumhare liye perfect hoga… Smile kar aaj Tera din hai.”
(Today is everything is perfect for you smile it’s your day)
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“Yes bhai”
As the clock ticked, whispers started among the wedding guests.
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“Rishabh… kaha hai? Priest ne toh bula diya…”
Rishabh mother (whispering): “Shayad traffic… ya… kuch minor delay hoga.”
But deep down, Meera felt a pang of unease. Something didn’t feel right.
It’s been hour But Rishabh nowwher scene also her Raina is not present there .Meera fearing if something happened to him she start crying thinking worst.
Rajendra Sharma(FL,GP)
(eyes moist, tried to comfort her). “Meri bacchi … don’t cry… we’ll fix this maybe he stuck with something.”
Kamini Sharma (FL,GM)
“She is curse I alredy said to but no one listen to me now see groom is gone”
Rajendra Sharma(FL,GP)
“Shant rho tum Kamini”
(Shut up Kamini)
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“Papa call him na you talk him more maybe he pickup your call”
Mahesh Sharma (FL,FATHER)
(avoided eye contact, looked annoyed more than sad.):”My mobile is discharge”
Meera’s world had literally collapsed. Her hands clutched the dupatta as tears flowed freely. The lehenga, the jewelry, the perfect morning — everything felt meaningless.
Aarav Sharma(STEP BROTHER)
“Shh meeru please don’t cry I will rip of that bastard ,for not coming soon I’m here. Always.”
Then the door opened. Her heart skipped a beat, hoping. But instead of seeing Rishabh, she saw Raina walk in — her stepsister — with him, she felt a shooting pain in her heart. She became numb. Her world came crashing down, as she saw Rishabh and Raina hugging and confessing their love to each another. She was standing there decked as a beautiful bride, only to witness betrayal and heartbreak.💔
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“No… no… ye possible nahi… they… are pranking right?”
Rishabh Mehta(FL EX)
(He looking smug with fake guilty, stepped forward): “Meera… I’m sorry… I… I love her. I can’t marry you.”
Guests murmured. Shock spread. Flowers seemed to blur in her vision.
Meera’s lehenga shimmered, but she felt like ashes inside. Her bangles jingled as she moved, the pearl dupatta slipping slightly from her shoulder — she didn’t care. Her bride look, once full of hope, now seemed like a cruel joke.
Rishabh hand and announced his love to Raina. He further informed both the families fake story which Raina make to him so that he can tell everyone like about what all Meera had done. Everyone started blaming and taunting her. Only her dadu and brother is not believing him .
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
She had enough and shouted, "STOP".
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
"I know now how manipulative you are Rishabh Mehta I have done fair share of mistakes loving you and I accept all of them that loving you was my biggest sin unlike you two who after committing mistakes play the victim card and portraying me villain here”she said looking at Rishabh and Raina
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“If you love Raina as much as you claiming.then what was the need to send me the proposal for marriage. First you rejected me for her, when she rejected you, you decided to make her jealous and so sent me a proposal. I was a fool who taught with time our relationship will become strong and you will start loving me like I loving you from past years but no I am fucking bitch blind in your love didn’t notice truth."
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
"And you Raina Sharma" she said, looking at her sister, "We never shared a good relation to begin with, but somewhere I felt with time we might have a sister bond.Today, on my wedding day, you got the courage to confess your love to Rishabh .Where was this courage when he professed his love for you?"
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
"Oh I forgot, at that time you wanted to act Mahan and selfless, wanted to be the great one who sacrificed her love for her sister." She sarcastically chuckled.
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
"You were always sceptical about this sacrifice, weren't you Raina. You wanted to be in the good books but didn't want to pay the price of sacrifice."
Raina Sharma (STEP SISTER)
“Meera please try to understand me.. Just listen to me once."
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
"Please Raina stop you bitchy nature. If you truly loved him, if you were crazy for him, you wouldn't treat him as a commodity in exchange for my love for you.And why the fuck I try to understand oo Mahan Raina I am not bitch like you you are worse than any enemy.”
Kamini Sharma (FL,GM)
“Hyee you curse how dare you call my granddaughter bitch”
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“Oppss I forget how can she will not be bitch when her trainer is you DAADIII JI”
Kamini Sharma (FL,GM)
“Teri itti Himmat”going to slap her but someone hold her hand
(You dare)

Rajendra Sharma(FL,GP)
“Please everyone go back there is no wedding going”
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
She looked at both the families,
"I know, after all this drama, you all will still feel I am wrong like always and these two are right. But if you see reality even for once, you will see two immature, fickle minded individuals bitch who take hasty decisions and do not realise the consequences their actions can have."
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
She looked at Rishabh, "I liked you the moment I saw you. I was ready to give my 200% in this relationship but you are not worthy of it. You are not worthy of me. You don't deserve me Rishabh Mehta.You will not understand my pain today, when a person will choose someone over you, that day will know what I went through today." saying she removed her engagement ring and throw at Rishabh face.
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
"Wish you both a happy life." saying she left the hall.
After the chaos, Meera excused herself changing her dress she burn her bridal dress then, walking to the balcony. The city sunlight felt harsh. She whispered to herself:
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“I trusted him… I loved him… and he… he chose her… over me.”
She touched her necklace, a gift from her late mother:
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“Maa… why today… why now… I can’t… I can’t even look at anyone.”
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“I can’t leave with them anymore I need to go from this toxic place”
Aarav Sharma(STEP BROTHER)
“Meeru.?”
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“Bhai I want something please don’t say no”
Aarav Sharma(STEP BROTHER)
“Yes baccha tell me”
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“I want to leave this city I want to go Mumbai please don’t deny I can’t live here it’s suffocating”
Aarav Sharma(STEP BROTHER)
“Sure I am booking you ticket don’t worry everything will be arranged baccha leave from this place go live your life but remember I am always with you”.
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
“Hmm bhai”
Ishaan Singh Raghuwanshi(ML)
💬 (texting to Kiara secretly, before leaving for Mumbai): “Kiara… today… I… I don’t even know how to say… everything’s gone… broken… I need to leave. I can’t stay here anymore.I am coming mumbai,I need you.”
