Roman and Layla never chose each other-not at first. Thrown together in an arranged marriage, theirs began with stiff smiles, sharp words, and a quiet tension that neither wanted to name. He was the guarded CEO with too many secrets and too much family pressure. She was the observant, ambitious med student with a soft heart and a spine of steel.
They expected duty. They got something far messier.
Between late-night confessions, shared silences, and unexpected tenderness, Roman and Layla begin to discover pieces of each other no one else sees. But love, for them, is never simple. It's stolen glances across dinner tables, fights that cut too deep, and vulnerability that feels like war. Family expectations loom. Old wounds resurface. And just when they begin to fall for real, the weight of everything they didn't say threatens to pull them apart.
Still, something keeps drawing them back because maybe love isn't always about the perfect beginning. Sometimes, it's about choosing each other again and again, even when it's hard.
