❝What happens when two complete strangers are forced into a marriage neither saw coming?❞

𝐀𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐲𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐡𝐠𝐚𝐥 never had anything work in her favor.

All she ever wanted was a family of her own-someone to belong to, someone to cherish her. Just when she thought peace was within reach, life threw her into yet another storm.

This time, it came wrapped in wedding vows.

When her cousin ran away on the day of the wedding, Amulya was pushed forward as the replacement bride-a desperate cover-up for the family's honor. No one asked if she wanted this. No one cared.

𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 had everything-money, power, a name people respected... or feared.

But he still felt hollow, like something essential was missing. A void he couldn't name.

Until he saw her.

Standing alone in a bridal lehenga, being accused of betrayal, while her relatives played the victims with practiced lies. And then came that voice-manipulative, dripping with guilt:

"Aise mat kijiye... kya hoga is bachi ka? Ab kaun karega isse shaadi?"

He knew the tears were fake. But her silence was real. Her fear? Even more so.

And before logic could catch up with impulse, his voice rang out across the chaotic venue:

"Main karunga."

A marriage neither of them wanted.
A connection neither of them expected.
A truth that could shatter everything.

❝He fell first. He fell harder. But will she ever fall at all?❞
