She lost everything the day he stopped believing her - her marriage, her family, even her voice. Branded selfish, stubborn, too much. He walked away. The world moved on. And somewhere else, another story ended too soon. When their paths cross, it isn't fate. It's exhaustion. Two broken people, finding something quieter: understanding. For every story that was left unfinished. For every apology that came too late. This is the one that asks - what if love can begin again, not in fire, but in silence? A tender, slow-burn romance about second chances, forgiveness, and the kind of love that doesn't demand to be seen - only felt.

A poignant tale of two souls destined to collide, clash and ultimately find redemption in each other. At its core, the story explores the intricate dance between trauma and trust, showcasing how vulnerability, patience and genuine love can mend even the most fractured hearts. Shivansh Randhawa, a formidable force, a successful CEO whose commanding presence masks a tumultuous past marked by childhood trauma and betrayal. His arrogance and cold demeanor stem from deeply rooted scars and he harbors a cynical belief that women are driven by greed, making him dismissive and rude, especially towards those he perceives as insincere. Prarthana Malhotra, a gentle, naive girl with an unyielding spirit. An orphan who survives on her humble job as a chef in a small restaurant, her quiet strength is shadowed by the pain she carries, pain she endures in silence, hiding her wounds behind a shy, innocent exterior. Their life takes an unexpected turn when they find themselves entangled in a forced arranged marriage, a marriage arranged by him-Shivansh Randhawa. Why he married her forcefully? As their worlds collide, initial misunderstandings and deep-seated prejudices threaten to keep them apart. Yet, beneath the layers of hurt and skepticism, a fragile bond begins to form-one built on innocence, patience and the unspoken hope of healing. Through turbulent trials and moments of vulnerability, both Shivansh and Prarthana embark on a transformative journey-learning to confront their pasts, breaking down barriers and discovering that love, with all its imperfections, can be the most powerful force of redemption. Will they succeed in healing each other?

They were never meant to be... or so they believed. She hated relationships. He didn't believe in marriage. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it simply unfolds. Bound by a decision that wasn't theirs, Aaradhya and Shivansh were pushed into a marriage neither of them wanted. Strangers with wounded hearts. Prisoners of their pasts. Victims of a word that haunted them both-Destiny. Aaradhya was born into a home that never wanted her. A burden, they called her. A mistake. Every time she heard the word "destiny," it didn't feel like fate-it felt like a curse. And Shivansh? He had built walls so high around him that even love feared to climb. Marriage was never part of his plan. Until she walked into it. They were never supposed to fall in love. But maybe love doesn't ask for permission either. Or was it even love? A story of quiet pain, healing silences, and unexpected tenderness. Of two broken souls who were forced into a bond... and slowly found pieces of themselves within each other. "Maybe it was fate that made them hate me. Maybe I was born to be unwanted." "Destiny"-that word never felt beautiful to her. It felt like betrayal. Like a silent enemy lurking behind every decision others made for her life. It took everything. Changed everyone. And left scars she could never forget. ~~~~ ~Author's note~ Hello guys I heartly welcome you all in this journey of Aaradhya and Shivansh.

Every beginning has ghosts. Every kiss carries the weight of what came before. She wasn't supposed to fall again. Not after the storm she survived. But then came a man who listened, who stayed - who saw her scars and didn't flinch. Shiv wasn't supposed to look back. Not when he'd built a life from nothing. But then came a woman whose voice felt like home - and whose past held more of his truth than he ever expected. They thought surviving was the hard part. But love? Love is harder. Especially when ghosts return in the form of a mother who abandoned him... And a past that refuses to stay buried. As Akshara and Shiv step into a fragile new beginning, old enemies resurface, secrets come unraveled, and danger begins to circle. They've found each other. But will the world let them keep what they've finally built? This is not a story about falling in love. It's about choosing it. Every day. Even when it hurts. Even when it's terrifying. Even when the past claws back. A canon-woven story - Book 2 in the "Jaan Ban Gaye" series. For lovers of slow burn, second chances, and deeply flawed, quietly burning people.
