26 bab Lengkap DewasaThe Dixits and Malhotras-two billionaire families bound by decades of friendship-had always dreamed of uniting their legacies through marriage. Their children grew up together, treating each other like family. Among them, Sonakshi Dixit had always been particularly close to everyone in the Malhotra family-except for one person: Devansh Malhotra, the reserved and aloof eldest son. Unlike his charming and outgoing younger brother, Rohan, whom she was set to marry, Devansh kept his distance, rarely engaging in conversations unless necessary.
Sonakshi had accepted this marriage for the sake of her family, her parents, and her beloved chachu-chachi, who had always treated her as their own daughter. But deep down, her heart had never belonged to Rohan-it had always been drawn to Devansh, the man who never spared her more than a few words but whose silent presence spoke volumes to her. The only person who knew this secret was her best friend, Rhea Malhotra-Devansh and Rohan's younger sister.
With the wedding already in motion, the absence of the groom would be a disaster for both families' reputations. But before anyone could panic, Devansh did what everyone silently expected him to do-he stepped forward. Without hesitation, without emotion, he took his younger brother's place. Not out of love, but out of duty. He would marry Sonakshi, not because he loved her-but because it was the only way to protect the honor of both families.
As Sonakshi found herself standing before the man she had secretly loved, dressed as his bride, she realized that this was not just a marriage of convenience. It was fate giving them a chance-whether Devansh would ever return her feelings, however, was a question that only time could answer.
