"I use my silence to observe. You use your words to hide. Let's skip the carefree act, Anya."
To everyone at her elite engineering college, Anya devraj is the ultimate ambivert-bright, jovial, and effortlessly talkative. But behind her warm smiles lies the crushing weight of being the eldest daughter. She carries a fierce sense of guilt over her family's financial sacrifices, a desperate need to avoid conflict, and a vow to never let anything distract her from her goals. Relationships are a luxury she simply cannot afford.
Then there is Arjun Malhotra .Highly strategic, brutally intelligent, and heir to a powerful family name, he has built a wall of cold aloofness to shield himself from the social climbers chasing his status. He doesn't do drama, and he definitely doesn't do love.
But when family pressures and persistent rumors threaten Arjun's calculated peace, his analytical mind finds the perfect solution: Anya. She's charming enough to fool high society, proud enough to respect a boundary, and desperate enough for the tuition stability he can offer.
It was supposed to be a flawless business transaction. A fake relationship bound by logic, strict rules, and zero childish arguments. But when two guarded minds start letting their walls down, they realize the one thing they didn't calculate... was each other.
