THE GLIDED CAGE: Bound by duty , torn by desire.

Sia Sinha had always lived quietly, gentle, reserved, and unnoticed in any social gathering. Aahanvir Singh Rathore, the heir to the Rathore Empire contrast, was everything she was not: wealthy, proud, and cold, his heart hardened by betrayal years earlier.

Though their families were bound by long friendship, Aahanvir had never hidden his disdain for Sia, and she had never expected anything from him.

All eyes, instead, were on Pankhuri Singhania, the beautiful, lively youngest and outgoing daughter of the Singhanias. When Aahanvir's marriage was arranged with her, it seemed a perfect match, one that would strengthen both family ties and business empires. But on the day of the wedding, Pankhuri chose love over duty and ran away, leaving behind scandal and broken pride.

In that single moment, Sia's life was transformed. To preserve honor, she was thrust into the place Pankhuri abandoned-married to a man who despised her.

For Sia, it was the end of her quiet world,

For Aahanvir, another cruel twist of fate.

Thus their story began.....a marriage forged in resentment, bound by duty, and destined to test both hearts in ways neither imagined.
