"What do you want for dowry?" She asked bluntly.
The question hit him so hard that he nearly choked on his tea. He coughed, patted his chest and glared at her but she didn't even blink. There's no sympathy, no apology, just that calm, annoying composure.
"Do I...Fuck!" He rasped, reaching for water then asked,"Do I look like that kind of person to you?"
"Language, Mr. Rajput." She shot back, folding her arms. The sheer boldness of her tone almost made him laugh but he's enjoying it.
"Logo ko dekh ke pata chal jata toh kya hi baat hoti, nahi? Who knows, you might torture me after marriage for not bringing any dowry?" She asked with a smirk.
He stared at her for a moment then leaned in just to retort, "And what makes you think that even after getting dowry, you'll be safe?"
Her throat went dry, but she didn't look away,"Exactly. In my opinion, shaadi is equal to barbaadi. So please, back out of this marriage and do both of us this favour."
He smirked then slipped on his sunglasses,"I don't want anything from Mr. Rana... except his blunt-mouthed daughter. So yeah congratulations, soon-to-be Mrs. Rajput."
He walked away, leaving her fuming and slightly breathless as she muttered,"Arrgh....arrogant idiot! "
A soldier who hides his heart and a researcher turned assistant professor who denies hers, tied in a marriage that turns into the most sacred bond of all.
What happens when a desperate daughter meets Delhi's most ruthless CEO?
Meera Sharma's world crumbles when her father needs a ₹10 lakh heart surgery. With no options left, she accepts the most impossible offer of her life: a six-month contract marriage to Arjun Malhotra, the cold, grumpy CEO of Malhotra Industries.
The Rules:
✓ Six months only
✓ Separate bedrooms
✓ No emotional attachment
✓ ₹10 lakhs upfront
✓ Clean divorce after
Arjun Malhotra doesn't believe in love. He believes in business, control, and keeping people at arm's length. But Meera notices everything - his secret Ghalib books, how he takes his tea, the way he softens around his grandmother.
When fake becomes real and business becomes personal, can a contract marriage survive the chaos of actual feelings?
From separate bedrooms to shared dreams, from "I don't dislike you" to "I love you more than life itself" - sometimes the best love stories start with the worst reasons.
A story of second chances, fake marriages, real feelings, and the beautiful mess that happens when two hearts refuse to follow the rules.
