Zara Khan is a dreamer with a heart full of kindness and a smile that lights up any room. Adopted into a loving family, she's spent her life proving she belongs, despite the whispers of relatives who see her as an outsider. Zara has always believed in happy endings for others, but when a surprise marriage proposal comes her way, she's not so sure about her own. Her past still haunts her, and love is a risk she isn't sure she's ready to take. Enter Zain Singhania: the grumpy, no-nonsense businessman who's as cold as ice. Zain is driven, disciplined, and focused on one thing-his career. Marriage was never part of his plan, but family duty calls, and he reluctantly agrees to meet the sweet, soft-spoken girl everyone seems to adore. To him, it's just another task on his checklist. Until he meets Zara. But as Zara's warmth begins to chip away at Zain's defenses, the scars of their pasts threaten to pull them apart. Zara's fear of rejection runs deep, haunted by memories of abandonment and the constant need to prove herself worthy of love. Zain, on the other hand, battles with his own demons-he's always believed that emotions are a weakness, and his heart is a fortress he's unwilling to open. Will Zara's light be enough to break through the shadows of Zain's guarded heart? And can Zain learn to embrace the love he never thought he deserved?
