She lived in the shadows of his world, loving him in silence. An orphan taken in by his family, invisible in the house she called home. He never saw her-until a contract forced them into a hidden marriage. He hates her. She loves him. ..... Aathya was never meant to belong anywhere. An orphan with a soft heart and quiet strength, she was taken in by a powerful family who gave her shelter, care... and a place to call home. But love? That was the one thing she was never allowed to want. Because the man her heart chose was the one she was supposed to call brother. The same man who became her family the day she was brought into their world. She tried to follow the rules. She tried to see him only as family. But the heart never understands boundaries... and love never follows logic. Ivaan-cold, distant, and untouchable. A self-made billionaire who believes only in control, ambition, and success. He loves his family, yet keeps himself emotionally detached, choosing solitude over vulnerability. When fate forces him into a marriage he never consented to, anger becomes his armor. He resents her. He resents the bond. And he resents the way his life was changed without his permission. But time has its own cruelty. As days turn into moments, and moments into memories, anger slowly gives way to something far more dangerous-realization. And realization soon begins to feel like guilt. A guilt he never expected. A guilt that questions everything he once believed. A marriage born from circumstances. A love that was never allowed to exist. And two hearts unaware of what they are slowly becoming. Will Aathya's silent love finally find its place? Will Ivaan accept what his heart begins to feel-or destroy it before it fully blooms? A slow-burn romance of forbidden love, emotional distance, unspoken longing, anger that turns into guilt, and love that waits... even when it shouldn't. ---
