AVNI
☆☆☆☆☆
Avni, 25, is a software engineer at CypherNext Technologies. Gentle, mature, and deeply emotional, she’s the quiet strength her family leans on.
With her light brown skin, dusty and average looks,Overshadowed for years by her sister’s beauty, she has faced comparisons and quiet judgments with grace, never letting them taint their bond. Even when love slipped away to her sister, she let go, learning begging won't work, trusting that what’s meant for her will come. Warm yet reserved, Avni notices everything, speaks little, and hides a depth most never see.

RUDRANSH
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Rudransh Vardhan, 30, is the heir to the Vardhan Empire and the calculating CEO of TitanX Technologies. To the world, he is a visionary innovator; beneath the surface, he commands a blood-bound legacy in the shadows. Once trusting and idealistic, betrayal stripped him of softness, leaving behind a man who trusts no one and owes nothing. Sharp-tongued, precise, and merciless to outsiders, he protects only the few he calls his own. Yet in rare, quiet moments, he wonders if the light he lost forever might find its way back—this time without making him a fool.
