She believed love meant forever.
He believed emotions were weaknesses.
Fate believed... they belonged to each other.
When Lavanya Nair, a gentle commerce teacher from Tamil Nadu, finds herself caught in a whirlwind of betrayal, tradition, and family honor, she is forced into a marriage she never wanted - to a man who doesn't believe in love.
Dante Russo, an emotionless Italian mafia heir, only agrees to the marriage to protect his family's name after his sister elopes with Lavanya's brother. Cold, calculated, and a stranger to tenderness, Dante sees Lavanya as nothing but a necessary obligation.
But what happens when two wounded souls - one burning with hidden fire, the other buried in silence - are bound together by rituals older than time?
In a home wrapped in jasmine and sandalwood, under vows spoken in languages neither fully understands, a story unfolds... of pain, of power, and of a slow-burning connection that neither can name.
---
A tale of forced vows, shattered trust, family legacies, and the unexpected tenderness born from the ashes of betrayal.
This is not a love story.
This is how strangers become something more.
