Veeranshu Singhania, heir to the Singhania Industries, believes women are nothing but trouble, a prejudice only softened by the presence of his mother, grandmother, and sister. His world, meticulously ordered and driven by business, is about to be violently disrupted.
Anika Kapoor, an orphan burdened by the cruelty of her adoptive family, who only took her in for her parents' insurance money, finds herself trapped in a desperate situation. Sold into a forced marriage to an elderly man, she makes a harrowing escape, clad in her wedding dress, boarding a speeding train. Pursued by the men sent to retrieve her, she attempts a desperate leap from the train, only to inadvertently drag Veeranshu with her. His fate becomes inextricably linked to hers as their clothing tangles, and they plummet from the train, leaving them stranded and vulnerable.
Now stranded and on the run, their fates are entangled-literally and figuratively. To Veer, Anika is the embodiment of the chaos he's always avoided. But as they navigate peril, deception, and unexpected intimacy, will she shatter his defenses-or will he be the one to rewrite her fate?
