She stood at the mandap
Heart pounding beneath layers of silk and gold. Her family's honor rested on her shoulders, and before her stood a stranger.
Her soon-to-be husband. His gaze was cold, distant, but his hand was steady as he tied the mangalsutra around her neck.
He hadn't wanted this marriage, but he needed it.
His past was a cage of secrets, and she was his shield. He thought she would stay quiet, invisible. But she didn't.

✨ Slowly, against his will, her light melted the darkness in him. Perhaps this marriage of duty was never just about honor.
Perhaps it was destiny in disguise. ❤️
