Born in Ruin by Shilpa Suraj

Ishaan Adajania has spent his life clawing his way out of the shadow of ruin. Born into privilege, he lost everything when his father’s gambling addiction dragged their family into bankruptcy. As the scholarship student at an elite school, he was an easy target for bullies—a boy who was broken but brilliant enough to escape the chains of his past.

Now, years later, Ishan is the ruthless CEO of a groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence company. His circle is small, his emotions locked away, and his success untouchable. Or so he thinks.

When Mayukhi Chatterjee storms into his life, accusing him of stealing her father’s trade secrets, she threatens to destroy everything he’s built—his company, his name, his hard-won security. But Mayukhi isn’t just a rival. She’s the girl who once stood by as others tore him apart.

Ishaan vows revenge. If Mayukhi thinks she can take from him, she’s mistaken. He’ll take everything from her father—including his most prized possession: his daughter.

In a dangerous game of power, secrets, and simmering tension, Ishaan and Mayukhi are locked in a battle where the stakes are far greater than either of them imagined.

A story of ambition, betrayal, and redemption, where love and vengeance walk a razor’s edge.
