Before starting the novel, let me clarify that there is a significant age gap between the hero and heroine. This is a fictional novel, so read it as a story and not by associating it with reality. In this novel, the lead is not a hero but a villain—meaning there might be things that you may not like or find morally right. However, the story will progress exactly as envisioned.
So, if you are ready to dive into a dark, passionate, and intense story, then proceed!

SANDARBH RANE – The Ruthless Powerhouse
35-year-old Sandarbh Rane is a man who lives by his principles, and in his world, only one thing holds value—power!
Standing 6 feet tall, with a fierce saffron-toned complexion and hawk-like sharp eyes, his presence is so intimidating that most people lose their courage in front of him.
But Sandarbh Rane is not just a name; he is a mystery! A man with two faces—one where he stands as a messiah before the public and another where he is nothing short of a villain in real life. His hunger for power is so intense that he has never allowed anyone else to stand in his way.
He plays the game by his own rules, and for him, politics is not just about holding a position but about waging a war—a war where winning is his only religion and losing is never an option!
While Sandarbh Rane rules the world of politics fearlessly, there is one person who resides deep within his heart, someone he hates beyond limits!
His hatred is so deep-rooted that he is willing to go to any extent to destroy it. He can cross any line and fall to any depth to quench his revenge!
But the real question is—
Will this hatred make him more powerful?
Or will this same hatred turn into his biggest weakness?

THE ONE PERSON SANDARBH RANE LOVES
Sandarbh Rane—a man who has never loved anyone!
For him, love is just a weakness. His world revolves around power, authority, and victory.
However, there is one person who can soften his ruthless heart—his son, Siddharth Rane!
20-year-old Siddharth Rane is the exact opposite of his father. Standing at 5 feet 9 inches, with a fair complexion and a charming smile, he is a warm and friendly person. He has no interest in power, games, or politics—he is a simple yet kind-hearted soul.
Where Sandarbh Rane is the ruler of a blood-stained battlefield, Siddharth is the embodiment of innocence and simplicity.
For Sandarbh Rane, his son is the only thing in the world that matters the most! He can sacrifice anything for him.
But… will this love turn into his biggest weakness one day?
Or is it just another pawn in his game of politics?

MEET THE HEROINE – OUR SWEET SHIVAKSHI JOSHI!
18-year-old Shivakshi, lovingly called "Shivi," is as delicate as a porcelain doll.
With a 5 feet 4 inches height, flawless fair skin, waist-length black hair, and deep, mysterious black eyes, she looks like a fragile angel. Her innocence is her greatest trait, but she is also playful and full of life.
Her world is small yet beautiful. She lives in a chawl with her grandparents, and her grandfather is a humble auto driver. Raised with love and values, she has been taught simplicity and tradition.
But this innocent girl has one biggest weakness—FEAR!
She is not afraid of materialistic things, but if someone raises their voice at her, her eyes well up with tears. And her biggest fear?
Her best friend's father—Sandarbh Rane!
His dangerous glare, his thunderous voice—they terrify Shivakshi to the core. She avoids going to their house as much as possible. Where the world sees him as a messiah, she sees him as a nightmare!
But… sometimes, fate pushes us toward the very person we fear the most!

What do you think of this introduction? 😊
I had this novel planned for a long time and have been working on it for quite a while. Now, let's see how far Sandarbh Rane's hatred takes him and whether the innocent Shivakshi can escape from it!
I have placed a fragile little rabbit inside a lion's den! 🫣
Now, the biggest question is—how will this clash between hatred and innocence unfold?
And yes, I know everyone's mind is blown thinking that the hero's son is actually older than the heroine! 😂😂
That's the twist! 🫣
