Sealed in Obligation

Armaan Oberoi doesn't believe in love anymore. Not after betrayal. Not after becoming a single father to a son who is his entire world. He swore he would never love again. Betrayal turned the once warm-hearted man into someone cold, controlled, and untouchable. Trust is a risk he refuses to take. Marriage is a mistake he refuses to repeat. Love is not part of his future.

Siya Malhotra doesn't believe in forever either. She learned the hard way that marriage can be a cage, and can leave scars deeper than bruises. With a past she rarely speaks about and no family to call her own, she has mastered the art of surviving alone. She doesn't believe she belongs anywhere. She doesn't believe in love. And she certainly doesn't believe in marriage. She only knows what it means to survive.

So when Armaan proposes a deal - a marriage of convenience with no feelings and no expectations. it should be simple. He marries for his son. She agrees because obligation feels safer than affection.

A promise strictly for a child. A union sealed on paper. What begins as a calculated arrangement slowly shifts into something neither of them prepared for. Walls begin to crack. Silences begin to soften. Guarded hearts begin to soften.
Because sometimes love doesn't arrive gently. Sometimes it grows quietly in the spaces between duty and desire.

And what was sealed in obligation... slowly becomes something pure.
Something healing.
Something forever.
