"Marry him. Or watch our family's name burn."

When Aanya Mehta's elder sister runs away hours before her wedding to India's most ruthless billionaire, Aanya does the unthinkable-she takes her place.

But Rivan Sehgal doesn't want a wife.
Especially not the fiery, barefoot Bharatanatyam dancer who looks him in the eye and says:
"Don't worry, Mr. Sehgal-I'm not here for love either."

Their marriage is cold. Calculated. Contractual.
But every snide remark. Every accidental touch. Every sleepless night under the same roof chips away at the walls they've built.

He's ice. She's fire. And neither of them are backing down.

Just when Aanya thinks she's starting to understand the man behind the mask, danger strikes. And for the first time, Rivan-India's coldest CEO-kneels.

"You don't get to leave. Not when I've just started to feel something again."

But love was never part of the deal.

So what happens when a contract turns into a slow-burning obsession?

Enemies by contract. Lovers by fate. A slow-burn romance that will steal your sleep, your breath-and your heart.

He was born to rule. She was married to be forgotten. When Arhaan Singh Rathore, the cold and calculated heir to a billion-dollar empire, agrees to an arranged marriage, it's not for love-it's for leverage. The union secures his family's dominance and gives his father control over the failing Mehta industries. But Aarvi Mehta, the quiet daughter traded in that deal, isn't what anyone expected. She doesn't beg. She doesn't fight. She simply exists-with a softness that unsettles everyone around her, especially Arhaan. In a house where power decides everything, Aarvi's silence becomes rebellion, and her compassion becomes the one thing Arhaan can't control. As their forced marriage begins to blur into something painfully real, both must face a truth they were never taught to believe- that sometimes, love is not the weakness that ruins empires. It's the only thing that survives them.
