FOUND SOLACE
He never wanted to love again.
She never believed in love to begin with.
And yet, fate tied their names together - in ink, in silence, and in the ruins of the past.
Abhir Sehgal was the kind of man people whispered about behind his back - ruthless, broken, dangerous. Once known for his sharp mind and colder heart, everything changed after the death of his wife, Anaya. Some called it an accident. Others weren't so sure. All Abhir knew was that the moment she fell, his world collapsed with her.
Three years later, he lives more like a ghost than a man. Distant from his family, drowning in guilt, and keeping the world at arm's length. His name still holds power - but his eyes, once full of fire, have long gone empty.
Then came Saarika Varma. Clumsy, traditional, and full of unexpected warmth, she's the kind of woman who lights up rooms without meaning to. A devotee of Lord Ram, with a butterfly pendant around her neck and a secret locked deep in her heart. She didn't plan to marry a man like Abhir - but when she discovered someone close was trying to trap him for his name and fortune, she stepped in.
A contract marriage. On paper only.
He promised to protect her in front of the world.
She promised to help him heal - quietly.
But behind Saarika's soft voice and constant smile is a mind that doesn't stop questioning. Something about Anaya's death doesn't sit right. The timing. The silence. The stories that never added up.
Did she really fall?
Or was there something darker hidden beneath all that silence?
Saarika entered Abhir's life with one goal: to find the truth. But the more time she spends around him, the harder it becomes to keep her heart out of it. And Abhir, no matter how hard he tries, finds himself drawn to the one woman who wasn't supposed to matter.
This isn't a fairytale.
It's a story of pain, of scars that never fully fade, and of two people who weren't looking for love -
but maybe found something deeper.
