She was just 20. He was a cold-hearted CEO with a past.
Aariha never imagined her life would take such a turn-married to her best friend's brother, not out of love, but out of family duty.
Zayaan had already lost faith in relationships after his ex-wife walked away, leaving behind a one-year-old son and a heart sealed shut.
He didn't want love. She didn't expect it.
But destiny had other plans...
Between silent dinners, awkward glances, and baby Aahil's innocent giggles, something begins to shift.
But can a marriage built on compromise turn into something more?
Or will Aariha always remain just "his responsibility" and nothing more?
