CAN AN ARRANGE MARRIAGE TURN INTO SOMETHING MORE?
Abhiraj Singh Rajvansh, a 31-year-old, stoic, intimidatingly gorgeous billionaire CEO, unfortunately with a problem with his birth chart.
The only solution: Marriage, to the girl whose chart resembles his.
10 days, and he gets married to a woman, he sees only at the Wedding Altar.
Ishika, a 24-year-old lecturer. She's everything a man would never want in his wife. Dark skin, short height, average looks...and a bucket full of insecurities.
She knew she was never enough, never academically enough, never serious enough, never really good enough.
AND She gets married, putting aside her insecurities, to the guy she hoped would be the love of her life...
...Until she finds herself alone on her wedding night.
Abhiraj Singh Rajvansh never accepted the arrangement.
But more than, that, he would never accept her.
SHE WAS UNWORTHY IN HIS EYES.
Aadhya Agarwal, 24, a young fashion designer with dreams dipped in red, lives like the warm glow of a diya on a quiet night. She's soft in the way she speaks, fierce in the way she loves, and carries that sunshine energy that makes people feel lighter just by standing near her. She believes in soulmate-level love, in rituals, in anklets that jingle when she walks toward a future she's always imagined for herself.
Abhinav Malhotra, 30, a CEO carved out of discipline and silence, moves through life like a man who's forgotten what warmth feels like. His world is made of glass offices, cold coffee, and unspoken fears. Stoic eyes, quiet voice, careful steps - the sort of man who keeps his heart locked behind his ribs because he's convinced it doesn't deserve a home.
She wants a real marriage.
He gives her a contract instead.
No reasons.
No explanations.
Just rules.
But every rule shakes when her warmth collides with his silence, when her middle-class softness enters his billionaire world, when her brightness starts cracking the walls he's spent years building.
Two strangers.
One contract.
A house full of tension.
A heart full of secrets.
A marriage that was never meant to feel this real.
