Raneya Qureshi isn't chasing fame. Not yet. Right now, she's just trying to survive. A quiet, brilliant college student tucked away in the corner of the campus library, Raneya buries herself in books, letting academic chaos drown out the storm of memories she carries from a home that never felt like one. Her days are long, her nights longer—filled with whispered trauma and sleepless dreams where betrayal has a familiar face. But when final results are posted on the bulletin board—and her name tops the list—everything shifts. Whispers begin to follow her, not as gossip, but as opportunity. The girl who thought she was invisible is about to be seen by the wrong people… and the right one. Enter Aahil Shah—CEO, power-broker, and the man who moves empires with a single command. When their paths cross in the most unexpected way, Raneya finds herself pulled into a world she never believed was meant for her. A world of ruthless ambition, dazzling lights… and terrifying shadows. She thought she’d left the worst behind. She thought staying hidden was enough. She was wrong. Because fate doesn’t wait for permission. And stars don’t ask before they burn. She was just a girl in the library. Now she’s chasing stardust.
