He came to India for business.
She ran away from a wedding.
Neither planned on signing a marriage certificate before sunrise.
𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐉𝐚𝐲 - the twenty-five-year-old heir of Park Tech Industries, Seattle's crown jewel.
Sharp suits, sharper tongue, and a father who believes "love is a distraction and legacy is a duty."
𝐒𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐚 - the twenty-three-year-old daughter of a decorated Indian officer.
Born into discipline, bound by tradition, and halfway through running from an engagement she never wanted.
One night.
One drink too many.
One reckless decision under temple lights.
Now they're bound by a marriage neither remembers agreeing to - but both have too much to lose to undo.
Two strangers.
Two families watching.
One secret that could ruin everything.
Because in the world of business and bloodlines, love was never supposed to be part of the deal.

"You don't even look like the kind of guy who'd ruin his life at a bar," she said, swirling the last bit of her drink.
"And you don't look like the kind of girl who'd run away from her own engagement," he replied, voice low, teasing.
"Touché."
"So... what's your plan now?"
"Honestly?" she laughed, eyes glassy, "I might just get married to a stranger. That would teach them."
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard."
"You got a better idea, Mr. Park Tech?"
He hesitated. Then, with a crooked grin -
"Not really."
And somehow, between bad decisions and worse timing, a temple priest, a few garlands, and two idiots too proud to back down...
𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐉𝐚𝐲 and 𝐒𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐚 signed their names on a piece of paper that would flip their worlds upside down.
