Aswin Suryavanshi grew up in a house full of people... but not a single drop of love. Abused by the parents who should've protected him, he learned to survive by shutting down every emotion. Now he's a self-made billionaire - but no one knows. To the world, he's cold. To his family, he's invisible. To himself... he's numb. Aradhya Kapoor once had a home filled with warmth. Until the sudden loss of her parents tore her world apart. Living with relatives who only tolerated her, she lost not just her family - she lost her voice. Silence became her shield. Their fathers strike a deal. A marriage. Purely business. No love. No expectations. Just signatures, rituals, and two strangers bound by pain. But fate has a cruel way of bringing the right broken pieces together. What happens when two unloved souls are forced under the same roof? When a man who feels nothing meets a woman who cannot speak? When silence becomes the loudest connection between them? Will they heal each other... or break further? Will this marriage remain a deal... or become their only chance at love?
