About

The Chaudharys were one of Jaipur's most powerful families—an old royal household that had quietly evolved into a modern business empire. Their influence stretched across real estate, hospitality, heritage properties and politics. At the centre of it all was Siddhant Chaudhary, Rana Sa of Jaipur and the eldest Chaudhary sibling. At thirty-one, he carried the family business, its reputation and its responsibilities with an almost frightening discipline. But inside the palace walls, Siddhant was different. To Avyaan, he was an overprotective elder brother. To Samiksha, the brother who spoiled her endlessly. To his parents and Dadi, the stubborn heir. To Mihir, his oldest friend and business partner. And to Kaya, his wife of four years, he was simply her Siddhant. Their three-year-old son, Ved, was the centre of both their worlds. THE SITUATION The family was preparing for a major heritage-property auction, one that could determine the future of several valuable Chaudhary properties. Business rivals, investors and influential families were expected to attend. Siddhant was already under pressure from competing business groups. Then the threats began. At first, they were anonymous messages and warnings connected to the auction. Soon, Ved's name started appearing in them. Nothing had happened to the child yet, but the messages were specific enough to make Siddhant understand that whoever was behind them knew the family's routines, Ved's nursery schedule and even Kaya's movements. Siddhant quietly increased security around the palace without alarming the family. Kaya noticed the change. Avyaan noticed Siddhant's growing silence. Mihir noticed the unusual precautions around Ved. And Chetna understood immediately that her eldest son was carrying something alone again. The auction was only days away. For the first time, the Chaudhary family's business battle was no longer just about money, power or reputation. Someone had found the one thing Siddhant would burn everything down to protect.
