In the high-stakes corporate world of Mumbai, power matters more than emotions, and reputations are built on strategic alliances. Vivaan Rathore, a disciplined and ruthless hotel tycoon, believes love is nothing but a distraction from ambition. Aarohi Mehta, bold and fiercely independent, refuses to let anyone dictate her life or her dreams. When their rival families are pushed into a financial crisis, a shocking solution is proposed - a marriage to merge empires and save face. What begins as a cold business contract quickly turns into a battlefield of egos, sarcasm, and unresolved tension. They argue over values, control, and pride, each determined not to bend first. Yet beneath the anger, they slowly begin to notice the cracks in each other's armor. Late-night confrontations reveal hidden fears, silent sacrifices, and unexpected care. As the end of their contract approaches, the line between hatred and longing starts to blur. In a world where everything was meant to be temporary, they must decide whether their marriage was just a deal... or destiny written long before the papers were signed. 💔✨
