She loved him once.
He left her behind.
Now, she wears his last name.
Mute. Graceful. Fierce.
Dhariya Trivedi never thought she'd be married to the man who broke her heart.
But fate had other plans.
Yuvraaj Malhotra-a tech genius with a frozen heart-wants nothing to do with love.
Especially not hers.
But secrets don't stay buried forever.
And when past mistakes come crashing into the present,
they'll have to choose:
Let go of everything...
Or hold on to the one thing they never thought they'd have-
each other.

REDRAWN BY FATE
Once, there was a boy who loved with all his heart. A love so simple, so pure - the kind that blooms in school corridors and ends with promises written in notebooks. He was a boy who longed for the love he lost - a father gone too soon, a heart half-empty. And when she came, he finally felt safe. But safety turned into fear... Fear of losing her, fear that his love itself was a curse. His love grew possessive - and her wings broke beneath it. One day, she left forever... And with her, she took the last piece of him. Years later, he married - not for love, but for duty. A woman who deserved the world... but was tied to a man whose heart belonged to a grave. Now, two souls live under one roof - one haunted by the past, and the other punished for a love she never received. This isn't a tale of love found - it's a story of love surviving - in silence, in distance, in pain.Complete![Meant To Be His [MTBS #1] | ✓](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/109549896-256-k984475.jpg)
