She once loved him enough to ask for forever. He rejected her like a joke. Years later, they're standing in the same wedding - not as a couple, but as the exes of the bride and groom. Devansh Sharma, now a renowned architect, had everything he wanted... except closure. Vaidehi Agnihotri, now a pediatrician with zero tolerance for emotional messes, had buried her past along with her now ex-until he walked back into it. When their families unexpectedly announce their rishta, and their exes can't handle the heat, a fake engagement turns into a full-blown wedding plan. It started as a joke. A distraction. Revenge, maybe. But somewhere between sarcastic rituals and awkward newlywed moments, pretending felt a little too real. What if the mistake they tried to fake... was actually meant to be? Because sometimes, the wrong person leads you to the right kind of love. Tropes:- He fell first (this time) Marriage on terms Lover her x wipped him Ex's cousin/Ex's brother Rom-com Old wounds + healing + rediscovering love Second chance romance

She can be feisty I know that, but her heart, I don't want it to break seeing the cruelty like that. But I can't leave her unprotected, Bhai is right, keep her close and protect her but never LOVE her. Fuck that. I already do it, never show love, she can't come out to be my weakness for my enemies to catch, I'll ignore her then she will find someone else, someone who wouldn't belong here, and then she would be with him while I would continue to protect her from the background. No one would know, she's, my weakness. No one would attack her; this world would leave her alone. If people say, she lives in dreamland, I would fucking make that dreamland from scratch. She would get every fucking happiness in this world. I will make sure of it. TROPES #Childhood Love #Obsessive Male lead #Bubbly Female lead #Mafia Romance #Grumpy X Sunshine
