FLASHBACK ~
One week ago
Mewar palace, Udaipur
Ira Rawal walked into the private lounge, expecting another boring royal dinner. But the mood was... off. Her father was already seated, his phone face down for once, and two other chairs were occupied. One by Raja Mahipal Rajvanshi, Rajasthan’s powerful royal businessman. The other by Arya Rajvanshi — tall, serious, and dressed in black like he was ready to fire someone. She paused at the doorway. Her stomach sank. Something was wrong
