Enter the world of 'The Reluctant Union' where duty and expectations clash with unexpected emotions.

Aarush Rathore wasn't keen on getting married, but his parents were insistent. They wanted him to settle down, and Aarush couldn't refuse them.

While looking for a suitable match, Aarush noticed his secretary, Advika Desai. She seemed perfect - smart, beautiful, and someone who would fit right into his family.

"Advika Desai," Aarush mused to himself, realizing she embodied all the qualities he sought in a wife.

In Advika, Aarush saw the ideal match for his family. Her dedication and qualities made her seem like she was made for his family. She could be the perfect daughter-in-law the Rathore family desired.

"I need a partner who can fulfill familial expectations. I want you to be that partner, Advika."

Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

"Umm...you don't have any feelings for me right?"

"Of course I don't feel anything towards you, how could I? I want to marry you just because of my family"

"So, you're saying that after marriage, it's all for show, and we'll lead separate lives?"

"Yes. Our marriage will serve the purpose our families desire. Beyond that, there won't be any emotional attachment or romantic involvement."

"Sorry, but I can't be in a marriage like this. Where we both don't love each other. Acting in front of everyone and ignoring each other in private. This is not called marriage but something forced."

Before she could walk out I said something which froze her in her place. As I pressed the most sensitive nerve of her towards me.

"I know you have feelings for me."
