Siya Sharma is a girl who grows up feeling unwanted in her own house.
Her father is cold and indifferent, and her stepmother treats her like a burden rather than a daughter. Love, protection, and warmth are things Siya has only heard about-never truly felt.
One night, at a grand party she is forced to attend, Siya's life takes an unexpected turn.
That's where she meets Dhruv Thakur.
Dhruv is confident, charming, and dangerous in ways Siya doesn't yet understand. He is her step-sister's boyfriend-someone she should never even look at. Yet his eyes find her in the crowd, and for the first time in her life, Siya feels seen.
Dhruv starts flirting with her-subtle at first, then intense. Siya knows it's wrong. She knows it can destroy lives. But when you've been starved of affection your entire life, even stolen moments feel like oxygen.
Time passes.
A year later, everything changes.
Against all expectations, Siya doesn't marry by her family's choice...
She marries by Dhruv's decision.
The marriage is arranged-but not by parents.
It is arranged by him.
The man who once flirted with her in secret is now her husband in front of the world.
But the real question remains-
Did Dhruv marry Siya to save her...
or to claim her?
And is this marriage her escape from cruelty...
or the beginning of a much darker story?
