Prologue

The Italian Mafia Family

After seven generations, the powerful Italian Volkov family was finally blessed with two daughters—Veda and Akhila. They were the heart of the family, adored by their parents and cherished by their brothers.

But when Veda was 9 and Akhila was just 5, a deadly war broke out between the Italian and Russian mafias. To keep the girls safe, their parents made the painful decision to send them to their maternal grandparents in India.

In the beginning, they stayed in touch. Their parents missed their daughters, their brothers missed their little sisters, and the girls longed to return home. But as the rivalry grew more dangerous, all contact was cut off to prevent the enemy from tracing them.

The family never stopped loving the girls. The girls never stopped waiting for their family. Yet, as years passed, Akhila and Veda began to believe they had been abandoned, unaware that the silence was the greatest sacrifice their family had ever made.

The Reddy & Varma Families

The Reddy and Varma families are two of India's oldest and most influential dynasties. To the world, they are billionaire CEOs; in reality, they secretly lead two of India's most powerful mafia empires.

The elders live in their ancestral palace in Shivapuram, where they are respected as the ruling family of the surrounding villages. Meanwhile, Vihaan Reddy and Rudra Varma live in Hyderabad, managing billion-dollar companies while carrying forward their families' powerful legacy.

Little did they know, destiny was about to bring two worlds together, changing all their lives forever.
