The stranger who called me her husband

In the shadows of the world's most powerful empire lived a man whose name alone was enough to make kingdoms tremble. Arnav Rajvanshi. The ruthless and fearless CEO of the Rajvanshi Empire. A man the world admired in daylight... and feared after sunset. Unknown to society, he ruled an underground empire as its hidden Mafia King, where a single command from him could determine life or death. Cold. Untouchable. Merciless. He trusted no one. Least of all... women. To Arnav, every smile concealed an intention, every act of affection carried a price. His past had taught him that women were drawn not to the man—but to his wealth, power, and name. They desired the crown, not the king. And once they had what they wanted, betrayal was inevitable. So he built walls around his heart—walls no one had ever crossed. Until one night. A mission to dismantle an international human trafficking network changed everything. Gunshots echoed through the abandoned warehouse. Terror filled the air as countless innocent girls were rescued. Among them... He found her. An unconscious orphan girl, battered by fate, barely clinging to life. For a fleeting second, the world around him fell silent. His gaze lingered on her pale face, and for reasons he couldn't understand, the man who had never hesitated to walk away from strangers gently lifted her into his arms. There was no calculation. No obligation. No reason. Only an unfamiliar instinct urging him to save her. After ensuring she reached the hospital, Arnav returned to his mansion, convincing himself it had been nothing more than humanity. Yet one question refused to leave his mind. Why did he care? Standing beneath the stream of a hot shower, the image of that unconscious girl continued to haunt him. Then his phone rang. "Mr. Rajvanshi?" "Yes." "She has regained consciousness... but there's a problem." His expression hardened. "What is it?" "She has lost all her memories. The doctors believe the trauma caused complete amnesia. Could you please come to the hospital?" Without another word, he disconnected the call. Minutes later, his car came to a halt outside the hospital. He walked into her room. She was asleep. Against all logic, his feet carried him closer. Close enough to study the face that had somehow disturbed the calm he had maintained for years. As though sensing his presence, she slowly opened her eyes. Their gazes met. Silence stretched between them. Arnav said nothing. She looked at him with innocent confusion... then softly asked the one question that shattered every certainty he had. "Are you... my husband?" For the first time in years... The man who always had every answer... Was left speechless. Sometimes destiny doesn't knock before entering your life. Sometimes... It simply looks into your eyes and asks a single question that changes everything. Read on to discover what happens when a man who stopped believing in love becomes the only home for a girl who remembers nothing... except the strange peace she feels whenever he's near.
