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."
________________________

Can Aarush and Advika's  marriage turn into a love story, or will they just do what's expected?"

Explore the complexities of love, duty, and unexpected connections in 'The Reluctant Union,' a tale where hearts collide, and the path to love is paved with unforeseen obstacles.

And if you're so sure that you didn't cheat on me, then fine, let's move on to the next step,prove me you didn't cheated on me" he said, and she frowned in confusion. He realized she didn't understand his intention. "Get intimate with me, tell me that you love me, and I'll believe you. I'll believe that you're telling the truth," he said, or more precisely, made an offer. She couldn't process his words. Her heart broke as she listened to him. •••• His expression darkened, pain flickering in his eyes. "Kya kami reh gayi thi, Amisha? Sab kuch diya tha tumhe... apna dil tumharee kadmon mein rakha tha. Fir bhi tumne yeh kiya?" His words came out in a choked whisper, his composure slipping. (Was there anything I didn't give you, Amisha? I gave you everything... I placed my heart at your feet. And still, you did this) Tears gathered in his eyes, though he struggled to maintain his demeanor, reminding himself he couldn't afford to be soft. "You're hurting me," she whispered, her voice cracking slightly. His eyes flickered with guilt, but he didn't let go. "And what about the hurt you caused me?I loved you, Amisha. I gave you everything. My heart, my soul... everything. And still, you didn't choose me." Tears welled up in her eyes. "You should have looked into my eyes once, it was always you Vivaan. But your jealousy... your obsession... it's destroying us."
