Just Your Better Half
✨ A tale of accidental love, hidden emotions, and the unexpected magic of marriage... ✨
She's sunshine - a little clumsy, a little chaotic, with a heart full of dreams.
He's a thunderstorm - cold, calculating, and way too used to getting his way.
Aarohi Khanna, a bubbly, sweet, fiercely loyal girl next door.
Vivaan Malhotra, a stoic, sharp, arrogant business tycoon.
They are complete opposites - and now... they're husband and wife.
Tied together by a forced marriage neither wanted, their journey begins with misunderstandings, icy stares, and closed doors. But somewhere between awkward silences, unexpected apologies, late-night dinners, and slow dances under city lights... something begins to shift.
She's trying to hold on.
He's trying not to feel.
But destiny has other plans.
💍 Will this unholy matrimony spark an unexpected love story?
Or will their differences keep them apart forever?

Abhinav Malhotra, 30, a CEO carved out of discipline and silence, moves through life like a man who's forgotten what warmth feels like.

MY LADY
"I'm weird, and I have a lot of demands." She tried to provoke him, But Avyaan simply replied, "it's ok I'm here, to take care of those demands." Aarohi's attempts to deter him continued. "I don't want any physical relationship after marriage," she said, hoping he'd lose interest. But Avyaan's response was surprising. "A relationship can work without physical intimacy," he said, leaving Aarohi stunned. "I'm a gold digger," she said, but Avyaan just smiled. "That's okay, I can afford diamonds too. You can be a diamond digger if you want" he said, leaving Aarohi frustrated. "I'm not a virgin. I had a boyfriend in my teenage years, and we were in a live-in relationship," Aarohi lied, expecting Avyaan to back off from the marriage. But Avyaan's response was calm and collected. "Your past doesn't matter to me. Just be loyal to me in the future, and that's all that matters." 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞 (The first few chapters might seem boring, but trust me, it'll get interesting later on) ........
