Two lives. One binding thread. A marriage built on everything but trust. Aadrika Rai has learned the hard way-trust is a luxury she cannot afford. Caught in a web of expectations, secrets, and betrayals, she knows that survival means keeping her heart locked away. But when an arranged marriage ties her to Reeyansh Dixit, she finds herself at the mercy of a man who is everything she fears-powerful, perceptive, and dangerously close to unraveling her carefully guarded truths. Reeyansh never believed in second chances. Betrayed by love once, he refuses to let the past define him-or his new wife. In a world where loyalties shift like the wind, he chooses logic over emotion, control over chaos. But Aadrika is unlike anyone he has ever met. Strong yet fragile, distant yet unyielding-she challenges his beliefs at every turn. In a marriage that began as a compromise, will trust ever find a place? Or will the broken threads of their pasts weave a future neither of them expected? What happens when two broken souls, bound by a marriage of convenience, discover a love neither of them ever believed they deserved? A story of strength, second chances, and love that defies expectations. ◉ ◉ ◉ ✿ Aadrika Rai: The only feeling I truly crave and fear to experience: Love. And here I am, wedded in an arranged marriage without being given any option, having my worst fears come true-of not being truly wanted, loved, or being let down again! The only expectation I have from my ARRANGED WEDDED HUSBAND is to be treated with respect. ✿ Reeyansh Dixit: I don't believe in love-the betrayal I have faced has crushed me too deeply. And here I am, wedded in an arranged marriage-or more like a business arrangement for me. The only emotion I can give her: Treat her with respect.

My eyes widened in dismay as I stood there, frozen in shock. The car screeched to a halt a few feet ahead. I strutted right up to that car, tapped on the window, and said, "Excuse me." The window whirred down, revealing a man in his early 30s stepping out. "How much?" he asked, eyeing my dress. I was taken aback, "What??" "How much for your dress?" he repeated. I couldn't believe the audacity, "sach mein, uncle, kya aap paagal ho gae hain? aapane abhee-abhee meree dress kharaab kee hai, aur ab aap apane paise dikha rahe hain?" Unbelievable! "Uncle?? Hey you kid, uncle kise kah rahe ho, aur tumhaaree dres ke baare mein, main pahale se hee tumhen paise de raha hoon, bas ise le lo aur chale jao," he said arrogantly, acting like such a jerk. "mujhe aapake paiso kee jaroorat nahin hai," you firmly declared. The stares from everyone around us made the situation even more awkward. "What do you want then, a branded dress! Fine, I will buy you one," he arrogantly exclaimed. Jesus, for God's sake, how can someone be this arrogant? The nerve of some people is truly beyond belief!
