╰----➜ Ashvi's life changed forever when she lost her mother at the tender age of seven. Not long after, her father remarried. Her new stepmother brought along two children of her own - a ten-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl. From the very beginning, they resented Ashvi. Perhaps it was because her father's heart still belonged to his daughter more than anyone else. In a house that should've been her safe haven, Ashvi became a stranger - a silent observer of a love that never reached her. Then one day, fate took another unexpected turn. It was her wedding day. And yet, Ashvi had no idea she was about to be married. Her life was about to be entwined with that of Siddharth - Asia's youngest billionaire. A man with power, wealth, and influence... but not with her heart. Ashvi didn't like Siddharth. And Siddharth? He didn't care. Their marriage was meant to be just for appearances - a bond only in the eyes of the world, not in their hearts. But time has a way of challenging even the strongest decisions. Slowly, silently, and unexpectedly... what began as a hollow arrangement turned into something real. Something deep. Something that proved they were both wrong about love.
