She had never believed in fate-not until it stood before her, draped in silence and fire. In a single moment, her world crumbled. The man who was never hers, the one tied unknowingly to the scars of her past, now stood across from her-chosen by destiny, sealed by family, and blessed by sacred vows. He, unaware of the weight his presence carried, stood with a calm confusion. He didn't know the history, the ache, or the storm she carried behind her quiet eyes. He didn't know their families had already written their story in ink she could never erase. And she... she stood there, a living contradiction-shattered yet composed, trembling yet still. Between them lay a fire that demanded witness, not love. This is not just a story of marriage, but of truth and time, of wounds unspoken, and the strength it takes to stand beside someone written in your fate, but never in your dreams.
