Hearts And Heritage

He never believed in marriage. She never believed in leaving. But heritage had other plans.

Five months before my final semester ends, my biggest worry was submissions and presentations.
Not marriage.
Being born into a middle-class family meant I always knew one day I would have to leave. But believing in marriage? Believing in handing my future to someone I barely know?
That was never part of my plan.
Until the Shekhawats came with a proposal.

Marriage was never on my list.
Not this year.
Not when my business demands control.
Not when I have carefully built a life that answers to no one.
But in a family like mine, tradition is not a suggestion - it is legacy.
I agreed to meet her.
I did not expect her quiet strength.
I did not expect her simplicity to unsettle me.
And I certainly did not expect to feel possessive over a woman who was never meant to be mine.

Two families bound by heritage.
A six-year age gap.
A billionaire heir who hates losing control.
A girl who refuses to lose herself.
What begins as an arranged alliance slowly turns into something neither of them anticipated - a slow-burn connection where silence speaks louder than promises.
Because some marriages are arranged by families.
But love?
Love is chosen.
