But in a world where the afterlife is real, what does it mean to truly live?

When the person who was once your home becomes the storm that shatters you?

She left without a word, without a trace, shattering him into pieces. He searched for her, bled for her, but she was gone. And when he finally rebuilt himself, it was as a man far different from the one she had loved-a man of steel, ruthless and unforgiving. But secrets have a way of surfacing. When Dhriti returns, she isn't alone. She carries with her a truth that has the power to destroy Aadvik all over again-a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter he never knew existed.

A marriage not born from love, but from circumstance. Two strangers forced into a life neither of them asked for. For a long time, their home was nothing but silence, distance, and unspoken pain. Until one night changed everything. A helpless mute baby, barely ten months old, was found abandoned in Arjun's arms. A child with no voice, and no one to call his own. Something in Dhriti broke when she saw him. And in that breaking, a choice was made. They adopted him. What started as responsibility slowly became something neither of them could ignore. A reason to stay. A reason to try. A reason to look at each other beyond the walls they built. But love is never simple when the past still breathes in the present. One heart still belongs to memory. One heart is learning to feel. And a child without a voice might just become the reason two broken souls learn how to be a family. Because sometimes, healing doesn't come from love first. It comes from learning to stay. Mafia ×Doctor Oprhan × Billionaire Forced marriage Slow burn Obsessed for eachother Past trauma Hidden Identity
