Daksh was orphan, surviving only for his younger brother. No chance he believed in fairytales, especially the kind where a billionaire's daughter could ever understand a man like him. Orphaned young, with only his younger brother to care for, Daksh had built his life on hard work and quiet resentment toward people born with everything he fought for. Then came Ahana Raichand, elegance wrapped in arrogance, his boss's daughter and the new Managing Director of the company where he worked as a finance manager. She walked in wearing privilege like perfume, and he hated her for it. For her confidence. For her easy laughter. For the way she looked at him, as if she could see beyond his bitterness. But hate, when mixed with proximity, begins to blur. Between heated arguments, stolen glances, and moments neither of them planned, Daksh found himself falling, not for her wealth, but for the woman beneath it. Ahana, with her fierce heart and quiet loneliness, broke every wall he had built. What began as contempt turned into obsession and what once irritated him became sacred.

--- Title: A Marriage Neither Chose Genre: Drama | Slow-burn Romance | Forced Marriage | Emotional Turmoil | Friendship Turned Chaos Tanya and Eklavya have been inseparable since college-best friends, business partners, and the kind of duo everyone calls "soulmates." But for them, love was never part of the equation. They built a life side by side, never imagining marriage would come from another direction-forced, arranged, and completely unwanted. When Tanya is pressured into marrying Shivaay, Eklavya's cousin and closest confidant, she expects distance and discomfort. What she doesn't expect is how closely jealousy, suspicion, and emotional tension would follow. Shivaay, calm and composed on the surface, begins to notice the natural bond between his new wife and his cousin-a bond too easy, too deep, and too unexplainable. At the same time, Eklavya is pushed into marrying Diyanshi, Tanya's best friend-a quiet girl who tries to stay strong but can't ignore what she sees: her husband and her best friend are just too close. Now, four people are caught in a tangled web of unspoken emotions, misunderstood intentions, and forced promises. As feelings get complicated, jealousy brews, and trust begins to crack, all four are left questioning what's real, what's right, and what their hearts have been hiding all along. Will these marriages break before they begin, or will something unexpected bloom from the chaos? ---
