AISHWARYA ROY

At twenty-three, Aishwarya Roy lives a quiet, carefully structured life as an IT professional. She prefers silence over crowds, books over parties, and peace over attention. Living alone has taught her independence, but it has also built walls around her heart. She rarely trusts people, avoids unnecessary conflicts, and believes that solitude is the safest place a person can hide.

Beneath her calm exterior is a deeply compassionate woman who secretly spends her free time at a nearby orphanage, where the children know her simply as "Didi." Their laughter is the only place where she allows herself to forget the weight of reality. Kind without expecting anything in return, emotionally resilient yet quietly vulnerable, Aishwarya only wishes for an ordinary life—one where she can work, return home, and protect the small peace she has created for herself. She has no idea that one unexpected night will destroy that ordinary life forever.

DEVANSH RATHOR

At twenty-seven, Devansh Rathor, better known in the underworld as DK, is a man surrounded by myths. To the police, he is a ghost. To criminals, he is a nightmare. Few have seen his real face, and even fewer have survived long enough to speak about him. Calm, calculating, and terrifyingly intelligent, Devansh lives by a strict personal code:

He never harms innocent people, never targets women or children, never leaves evidence, and never allows emotions to interfere with his work. He exists in the shadows, working alone, disappearing before anyone realizes he was there. Detached from the world and indifferent to human relationships, he believes feelings are weaknesses that only get people killed. Until he meets one woman who refuses to fit into the world he understands.
