He was the forgotten son.
She was the least-loved daughter.
Together, they might just rewrite fate.
Karthik Hariharan was never meant to inherit anything, not his so called father's empire, nor the weight of a name he never asked to bear. While his brother lived beneath the spotlight, Karthik chose silence, distance, and peace. All he ever wanted was something of his own, a publishing house built from quiet persistence and heart.
So when his grandmother unexpectedly offers him his late mother's property, it feels like fate finally nodding his way. But there's one condition, he must marry.
Karthik hates the idea. Marriage means noise, expectations, compromise, all the things he's spent years escaping. Until Krithika Ganeshan enters his life.
His sister-in-law's sister. Confident, unafraid, and far too stubborn for her own good. Her proposal is simple, a contract marriage. Her freedom, his chance.
What begins as an agreement soon unravels into something neither can define. And as Karthik finds himself drawn toward her warmth, he also feels the quiet life he built beginning to tremble.
Because when the past he's buried resurfaces, Karthik must decide. Will he protect the calm he's fought to build, or the woman who makes him want to break every wall he's ever built?
