"When your nemesis happens to be your husband, happily ever afters are a lot more complicated than you might assume."

Ilyana Alara Aziz has the perfect husband: Ilyaz Zaviyar Ali holds doors for her, remembers her restaurant orders, buys her gajras and notices her haircuts.

And Ilyana is utterly sick of him. 

She wants out, but here's the catch: Their marriage was issued with a political alliance in mind to secure her brother's campaign, and the costs of repaying the expenses of a grandiose desi wedding all by herself when her family disowns her, which they definitely will, is impossible. Her only resolve is to make her husband divorce her before their Walima, and when she discovers Ilyaz has been feigning contentment too, they proceed to a battle of ultimate sabotage.

However, when the two are alone by themselves in a foreign town and have nothing to lose,  they can finally allow their true colours to come to play, and Ilyaz and Ilyana find each other being vulnerable around the last person hoped for: each other.

With the clock ticking for three months till their Walima, will Ilyana be able to win? Or will she fall against her own resolve?

Presenting a desi twist on YDEO, Twice Shy.

[#2 ~ The Mehra Cousins] "I'm bored," he complained. "Someone find me a wife." "You're asking for a wife, not a toy," she replied, frowning at him. "Besides, what kind of foolish woman would agree to marry you?" "Excuse me!" he exclaimed, clearly offended. "Women are dying to marry me!" She rolled her eyes. "You wish," she said with a sarcastic smile. He smirked. "You're just jealous." "What would I-" She stopped herself from cursing, remembering they were in the office. "Why would I be jealous?" "Because you love me," he said, nodding as if it were a fact. "You're delusional." "And you are completely, utterly, and hopelessly in love with me," he said, grinning. "Why don't you just marry me and save yourself from the misery of watching me marry someone else?" "Even if you were the last person on this planet, I would never marry you," she snapped. He smirked. "Never say never." ❋ 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗮 𝗥𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗷𝗮 has no time for nonsense, especially not the kind that wears tailored suits and a cocky smile. As a sharp-tongued marketing strategist with a reputation for excellence, she's worked too hard to let anyone--especially Aarav Mehra--get under her skin. 𝗔𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘃 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮, the charming, appealing, heir to his family's luxury hospitality empire, has never met a woman who challenges him quite like Manya. She's infuriating, brilliant, and absolutely immune to his charm, making her the most interesting part of his day. When a family twist forces Manya and Aarav into a fake engagement, what begins as a performance quickly unravels into something dangerously real. Between barbed banter, stolen glances, and the kind of moments that feel too true to fake, their carefully drawn lines begin to blur, and both are forced to confront what's real, what's pretend, and whether love might just be the biggest risk either of them has ever taken.

"I have spent my life being nobody's first choice," she whispered. "Then let me be the one who changes that," he answered, steady and impossible. She's a young woman fighting for a new beginning. London is her escape plan, her clean slate, her chance to outrun a past that never learned to let go. He's a man who swears love is a myth. His life is structured around power, precision and the safety of staying untouchable. Then he sees her. One moment. One look. And the man who doesn't believe in love falls with catastrophic velocity. She was never supposed to matter. He was never supposed to feel. Yet here they are, locked in an unexpected merger of fate by a marriage of convenience and chaos. When the woman who's only ever been second choice becomes the one he can't look away from... When the man who built walls now risks dismantling them for her... Is this a temporary alignment of circumstances, or destiny executing a long-term strategy? A story about breaking patterns, reclaiming worth, and discovering that sometimes the heart rewrites the entire plans. • Cover Credits :- @melbourne778
