Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 Introduction

In a world ruled by power, ambition, and fragile ties, four strangers are unknowingly barreling toward each other.

Riyansh Madhvan, 25 — The reluctant heir and principled CEO of Madhvan Capital, navigating a fractured family legacy and corporate warzones.

Aakash Mital, 24 — The boy with brilliance in his mind and pain in his heart. Torn between dreams and duty, he stands at a heartbreaking crossroads.

Kavya Thakur, 22 — The law intern who rewrote policy with a single memo, only to realize power bends for no one unless you bend it first.

Rishika Upadhyay, 23 — The fierce, visionary daughter of the nation's most powerful family, determined to prove she's more than her surname—or her past.

They are not allies.

They are not enemies.

They are destiny's disruption.

What begins as a clash of agendas turns into a web of alliances, betrayals, and unexpected emotions—testing family loyalties, rewriting generational legacy, and questioning what it truly means to win.
