Six years ago, Myra Kapoor walked away from everything-her cold contract marriage with business tycoon Reyaansh Malhotra, a family that treated her like a pawn, and a city that never felt like home. She never looked back. Not even when she found out she was pregnant.
Now, she's returned-not for love or closure, but for a business deal. One she thought she could finish quickly... until she meets Reyaansh again. Until she sees his daughter. Until he stands between her and the life she wants to protect.
Long-buried secrets stir. Parental truths collide. And estranged hearts begin to beat dangerously close once more.
A story of fractured families, forgotten love, and the courage it takes to heal the wounds that never fully closed
