Vedika Roy always believed that truth was enough. That if you chased it hard enough, it would protect you. She was wrong.

One mistake destroyed her career, her credibility, and the identity she built as a crime journalist. Broken but burning with unfinished anger, she returns to Jaipur hoping to escape failure. Instead, she walks into a silence far more terrifying.

Her best friend disappears after joining Zyvora Systems, one of India's most powerful IT companies.
No calls. No messages. No employee records.
Just a company that calmly says, "She never worked here."

Vedika knows what that means.

To uncover the truth, Vedika becomes someone else.

Under the fake identity of Prisha Mehra, she enters Zyvora Systems, fully aware that one wrong move could erase her too. Inside the glass walls of power and professionalism, she realizes this isn't just a company. It's a system built to hide people, bury evidence, and silence questions. Every file feels dangerous. Every corridor feels watched.

And then there is Suryansh Oberoi.

A man who speaks less and watches more. Who carries authority in his posture and secrets in his eyes. As her boss, he stands dangerously close to the truth she is hunting, yet feels like a wall built to protect it. Nothing about him feels simple. Nothing about him feels safe.

Their tension is sharp.
Their attraction forbidden.
Their closeness dangerous.

Because in a world where lies are signed in contracts and truth is treated like a crime, love becomes a liability.
And some stories are written only to be buried.
