Hearts And Heritage

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

༺ 𝑨𝒂𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒌𝒂 𝑺𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂 ༻
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.
