Don't get too close

Zoe Deshmukh isn’t just the Executive Director of Nayan Media Group —
She’s the woman people don’t lie to twice.

Sharp, relentless, and terrifyingly calm, she has built her life on discipline, secrets, and a past she refuses to unpack.
Until a buried file drags her into an investigation older than her name… and dangerous enough to burn everything she stands on.

And standing in her way is the last man she expected:

Erish Nayanth.
Quiet. Unshakeable. Impossible to read.
A man who appears out of nowhere, knows too much, and sees too far.

He’s not her colleague.
He’s not her rival.
He’s the warning no one ever gives loud enough.

Their paths collide over a trail of missing records, dead trustees, underground ties, and a foundation that shouldn't exist anymore.
Every answer Zoe uncovers tightens a noose.
Every truth Erish hides pulls them closer.
Every boundary they set turns into a line they cross.

He protects without admitting it.
She provokes without meaning to.
And somewhere between the files and the lies, they become the one thing neither of them can afford—

A weakness.

Secrets unravel. Loyalties shift.
And the closer Zoe gets to the truth, the more dangerously Erish becomes part of it.

Because some inheritances aren’t money.
Some are wounds.
And some are people.

A journalist with a scarred past.
A man built on silence.
Two lives wrapped in power, shadows, and slow-burning ruin.

If she gets too close, she might uncover his truth.
If he gets too close, he might expose hers.
Either way—

Someone’s world is coming undone.
