"You should see the way he looks at you."

"How does he look at me?"

"Like he'd die, Laila. Like he'd die if he looked away."

• • •

In the dazzling world of wealth and high society, Laila Khanna and Yuvraj Luthra's marriage is supposed to be a fairytale come true-a union of two powerful families, cemented with opulence and tradition. But beneath the glittering facade, their story is far from ordinary.

As they navigate through a grand wedding that seems perfect to the outside world, they are haunted by their shared history and the secrets they each carry. 

When the cameras stop flashing and the guests leave, will they discover that their marriage is more than just a business deal? Can they overcome their unresolved issues and find something genuine amidst the charade? Or will the shadows of their past keep them apart forever?
