Freedom. A word that we all chase. And so are chasing Aarvi and David.
Aarvi Dutta, a 29-year-old Bengali, has lived her life according to others' expectations so far. She took up a job she doesn't enjoy, tolerated a lot of crap from an undeserving ex, and tried to be the "ideal daughter" until she couldn't anymore. She takes a leap of faith and quits her job to find herself. As a result? The world turned against her, including her mother. Aarvi is on her way to London for a month-long vacation to just be by herself, learning to navigate life all over again. Meeting a guy isn't even the last thing she has on her list, yet with him, she feels seen. Only problem? She is in London for just three weeks. How could she want this? Want him?
David Carlsen, a 30-year-old Norwegian whose bloodline has spent enough generations in London to see themselves as one among the English. The heir to a five-hundred-billion-dollar family business, but doesn't want to do anything with it. He dreams of opening his restaurant, but the reins of his life still seem to be in his father's hands, and this restaurant can solve all his problems. But it doesn't seem to be happening soon, as he loses his fifth deal on a land he wanted. His life appears to be a disaster that he desperately wants to fix as soon as possible. Yet, when he's with her, he forgets about his problems. Only problem? She is leaving in three weeks, and he doesn't know how to stop her.
Will Aarvi learn to be okay all by herself after all these years of having people by her side? Will David find a way to take back his life from his father and do what his heart wants? More importantly, will David and Aarvi find their way to each other amidst all this chaos? Or does destiny have different plans?

WOUNDED DESTINY ||✓||
Some love stories are written in the stars, destined to endure the tests of time. But what happens when love is replaced by betrayal? When the person who was once your home becomes the storm that shatters you? Aadvik Chauhan and Dr. Dhriti Sharma were once inseparable-two souls intertwined in a love so deep that nothing could tear them apart. Childhood sweethearts turned lovers, they had built their world together, dreaming of a future filled with love, laughter, and forever. But forever never came. Three years ago, Dhriti walked away. She left without a word, without a trace, shattering him into pieces. He searched for her, bled for her, but she was gone. And when he finally rebuilt himself, it was as a man far different from the one she had loved-a man of steel, ruthless and unforgiving. But secrets have a way of surfacing. When Dhriti returns, she isn't alone. She carries with her a truth that has the power to destroy Aadvik all over again-a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter he never knew existed. A daughter she kept from him. A daughter who should have been his world. Now, the past collides with the present, reopening old wounds and igniting a storm of rage, heartbreak, and longing. Aadvik, betrayed once again, vows not to let Dhriti shatter him this time. But Dhriti is no longer the woman who once left because she was scared-she's a mother willing to fight for her child, even if it means facing the man she still loves but once abandoned. Love, pain, revenge, and redemption-when two broken hearts clash, will they destroy each other, or will they find a way back? Some stories don't get second chances. But maybe, just maybe, theirs does. TROPES :- ~ GRRUMPY x SUNSHINE ~ SECOND CHANCE ~ SINGLE PARENT ~ TRAUMA/HEALING ~ LOVE TO HATE TO LOVE ~ SECRETS ~ CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS ~ FAMILY RIVALRYComplete
