The Khan's Final Gambit and a New War

The morning after their new vow, the world outside the Aggarwal mansion seemed to hold its breath. The victory over Aditya and the Rajmata's judgment had sealed their fate, not just as a couple, but as a force. Anika woke in Vikram's arms, the feeling of his body against hers a silent, profound confession of a love that had defied all odds. The cold, transactional nature of their marriage was a distant memory, replaced by a quiet, fierce intimacy that was both their greatest strength and their most dangerous vulnerability. She looked at him now, his face serene in sleep, and her heart swelled with a love that felt as old and as powerful as the legacy he was born to protect.
