Contract Marriage: a desperate gamble to preserve autonomy.
But be warned, for love might just complicate the game.
Shaira Raut, a no-nonsense CEO ruling the finance world, meticulously plans every aspect of her life, unaware of the shadows that have watched her for the past eight years. Always in control of her career, ambitions, and emotions, she never thought she needed a contract marriage-until family pressures encroach upon her single status.
Vidyut 'Sunny' Deewan, her high school flame and first love, now a politician aiming for the Chief Minister's seat, once left scars that defined their paths for what seems like over a decade. Now, twelve years later, their paths cross again, but Shaira sees Sunny as a liar who shattered her trust long ago, but the truth may be far more sinister.
When he discovers Shaira's plan for a contract marriage, Sunny seizes the chance not only to honour his family's legacy but to reclaim the love he never stopped longing for. A temporary marriage proposal becomes his ticket to forever.
Reluctantly, Shaira agrees, seeing it as a pragmatic solution to familial pressures. Instead, chaos ensues as Sunny's optimistic gestures-press conferences, fundraisers, surprise flowers, and heartfelt notes-disrupt her structured life.
As Shaira's scripted façade crumbles under Sunny's genuine affection, she realises that, in the chaos of their contract marriage, lies the key to unlocking the emotions buried deep within her heart.
But what secrets lie buried in the years of separation, unseen and unspoken, waiting to be unearthed as their paths thread towards forever?
