When Holden Driss's beloved grandmother passes away, he's devastated-until he learns she left him the family's historic Bed and Breakfast. But there's a catch: before he can officially inherit it, he must marry someone she knew deeply.

Salena, his childhood best friend, turned stranger. The last person he expected... and the only one who fits the will's condition.

Salena wants nothing to do with Holden-or his mess-until he makes an offer too good to refuse. One fake marriage, a cut of the profits, and a quiet divorce once the ink dries. Easy.

But playing house under one roof isn't so easy when old memories resurface, sparks start to fly, and fake feelings begin to feel dangerously real.

As family tensions rise, secrets unravel, and hearts collide, Holden and Salena must decide: was this all just pretend... or the start of something real?

86 parts Ongoing
Saanvi, a gentle yet strong woman, brought up completely in her brother's guidance, met Raghunath, a ruthless, underground mafia king. He was calm and composed on the outside, but a dangerous storm inside. He liked her from the moment he saw her, even though she was one of his enemy-he secretly was falling in love. Instead of showing love, he married her and trapped her in his dark, mansion deep in the forest. He tormented her with fear and silence, even when his heart etched. Still, when she felt his pain under his work, and the things he had undergone. She fell in love with him, she changed him, she cured his pain and hurt. But when she pleaded him to leave his mafia life, he gave it all up-for her. He changed. He became a new man. But fate had other plans. When Saanvi was seven months pregnant, she received a phone call-Raghunath had died in a tragic accident. It shattered her. Six years later, Saanvi is now living with her brother, along with her daughter, Jaanvi. At the same time, Jeevan, a top most billionaire, who never allowed any women in his life, and believed that, love is nothing, but a attraction. Yet, when he met Saanvi, his beliefs shattered, the moment he saw her. He fell in love deeply for her at the first sight. To her he becomes her husband, and to Jaanvi, he becomes the father she always yearned for. Will Saanvi allow her heart to love again? Can Jeevan heal what life once broke? Themes: Love, betrayal, redemption, and second chances. *Tanglish story*
