The king's Collared bride

He rules like a king, commands like a devil—and she was sold to him like property. Aakarsh Maheswari. The cold-hearted heir of the House of Vengeance. In the business world, he’s a billionaire. In the underworld, he’s feared. In love? He doesn’t believe it exists. Until a deal sealed with betrayal drops a girl at his doorstep. Niharika Raghuvanshi—fragile, silent, a pawn in a brutal game of power and pride. Sold by her own father to repay a debt, she becomes Aakarsh’s legal bride. But she’s not a wife to him. She’s a possession. A prisoner. A constant reminder of everything he hates… and everything he can’t resist. But Niharika isn’t what she seems. Behind her soft eyes lies a storm. A girl with a buried past, a shattered heart, and secrets that can burn kingdoms. What begins as cold silence turns into war, obsession, betrayal, and undeniable passion. As Aakarsh battles the ghosts of a woman he once loved—Niharika’s mother—and the truth of Niharika’s origin unravels, the monster begins to fall for the girl he never intended to keep. Only to discover... She was sent to destroy him. And now, she’s the only one who can save him. This is not a love story. It’s a war between two souls—scarred, savage, and dangerously entwined. In a world of blood, betrayal, and broken vows—love doesn’t heal. It scars deeper.
