The 26 year old billionaire CEO, Viaan Adams, had never been so revengeful until an hour ago when he was forced to marry a complete stranger, Kia, the girl who helped him last night. He was at her doorstep in the middle of the night, trying to protect himself from the outrageous storm, but what he didn't know was this stormy night was going to bring havoc in his life. A single help to the stranger in absence of her parents cost Kia enormously. She had never imagined that her own parents would force her into the marriage with a complete stranger just because she helped him during storms out of humanity. Now, these two are stuck with each other. One with a vengeful mind as he believes it was all Kia's plan, and another with a mourning heart because of her parents. Will Viaan accept her as his wife or will he punish her badly? Will Kia accept her fate or will she fight all the hurdles before it's too late? Will Viaan ever come to know the truth she is hiding or will he hold her guilty forever? His features screamed revenge. Revenge for the mishap he just went through in the form of an unwanted marriage. "But, let me tell you one thing, you have done the most wrong deed by marrying me. The fortune you wish to get by forcing me into this marriage will never be yours. I'll definitely take you away from here, but only to let you get lost in your life." He spat venomously. "Like you left no way out of this for me, I will leave no way out for you too. So, get your bags, Miss Kia, it's time to leave!" Viaan glared at her with utter disgust in his eyes.
