This Story is the second season of Married by lies. If you haven't read the first season, I will like to suggest you to read that first 😉 Five years have passed since Roshni's sudden disappearance into the shadows of the Yamuna River, leaving behind a silence that still haunts the Rathore mansion. Rishabh, once proud and untouchable, has been living with the scars of guilt, rage, and longing...his every moment marked by the question: Is she truly gone? When fate decides to bring Roshni back, she is no longer the quiet, broken woman who once lived in his house. Distance has shaped her, pain has hardened her, and love has found new meanings in her life. But her return is not simple....it carries storms, buried truths, and unspoken wounds that Rishabh is not prepared for. As the family stands at the edge of reunion and collapse, Rishabh finds himself on a journey unlike any before...a journey of redemption, fire, and love tested by time. But just when he begins to believe he can fix what was shattered, destiny pulls him into the heart of danger. A tale of Misunderstandings, Hate, Love and Emotions (Don't copy my work) Ranked #1st in India

Rishabh's voice was low but laced with fury as he grabbed Roshni's chin, forcing her to meet his burning eyes. "Sach sach batao tumne shaadi kis liye ki? Itne saal kyun jhela? Tum mere parivaar ko itna kuch kyun diya?" Her gaze didn't waver....No fear, No tears. Just a haunting calm that spoke volumes of the storms she'd already weathered. "Daulat. Shauhrat. Tumhara paisa. Auda. Aur tumhara chehra..." she paused, every word like a dagger, "Yahi sab bolte hain. Tum sochte ho... Shayad yahi sach hai" Silence hung like a noose... But behind those bitter words lay a love once tender, now poisoned by pride, silence, and a home that never accepted her... In the heart of Delhi, the Rathores rule with tradition as their weapon and pride as their shield. A family where women are ornaments for display, not voices to be heard.. Rishabh Rathore, the silent and stoic heir, was raised in a world where men never bend, never feel. Hardened by expectations and blinded by patriarchy, he marries a girl presented as shy and obedient, just how his family likes it. But Roshni, his wife, is anything but ordinary. A once lively, warm-hearted woman, she silences herself to fit into a cage built by lies...lies her father told to get her married, and lies the Rathores fed her daily. Three years pass in silence. In neglect. In wounds that don't bleed but burn. Yet Roshni never stopped giving, caring for the very people who treated her like a shadow. Until one day...she asks for a something.... The Rathores are shaken. Rishabh is enraged. Not because she's leaving...but because she dares to leave. "Married by Lies" is a story of a woman reclaiming her self-respect, and a man learning that love is not about control but courage. It's about unspoken pain, slow-burn redemption, and the storm that begins when silence is finally broken. "He never believed in love-until the woman he disrespected walked away" •Ranked 2nd in #Divorce •Ranked 4th in #Lawyer •Ranked 3th in #Desi
