When Bela Sharma returns home after years of studying abroad, she expects a simple reunion with her family. But fate has other plans. Just days before her cousin's wedding, the bride-to-be elopes, leaving her family in chaos and disgrace. To protect her uncle and uphold the family's honor, Bela is thrust into a marriage of convenience with none other than Rudra Malhotra-a billionaire businessman, known for his cold, introverted nature, and, ironically, her ex-boyfriend who once shattered her heart.
Rudra had never expected to cross paths with Bela again, especially not as his bride. Though he once betrayed her trust, he's determined to make her his, even if it means navigating the stormy waters of their past. As Bela grapples with resentment and unresolved feelings, Rudra's hidden motives and complex personality begin to surface. In a marriage born of desperation and deception, will they find a way to forgive, or are they doomed to repeat old mistakes? In this tale of love, redemption, and fate, two souls bound by a twist of destiny must decide if they are truly meant for each other-or destined to walk separate paths.
As Dallas and Drayton navigate life in the spotlight, Spencer is navigating intense feelings for Nathan - her best friend's brother.
