Some people survive.
Some people live.
And some are lucky enough to get a second chance at both.
For five years, Nandini Murthy endured a marriage that was never her choice and a life she could never escape. Trapped with a husband who controlled every aspect of her existence, she learned to bury her dreams and live only for one person-her daughter, Naina.
When her husband's reckless decisions destroy everything and place Naina in danger, Nandini makes the most terrifying decision of her life.
She runs.
Desperate for work and a way to protect her child, she finds herself standing before the doors of Malhotra Industries.
And before Manik Malhotra.
A billionaire CEO feared by the corporate world.
A man known for his ruthlessness.
A man who should have been the last person she trusted.
Instead, he becomes the first.
Because sometimes love doesn't save you.
Sometimes it teaches you that you're worth saving.

Built From Broken
They were never supposed to be a love story. Nandini Murthy lost everything the day her parents died in a tragic accident-except a promise they left behind. A marriage she never asked for. A future tied to a man she barely understood. Manik Malhotra had everything-power, wealth, an empire built on control... and a love he thought he wanted. Until reality shattered that illusion, and the truth forced him to see the difference between desire and devotion. He was never supposed to choose her. She was never supposed to survive him. But grief built her into something stronger. Love challenged everything he thought he knew. And somewhere between broken promises, buried pain, boardroom wars, and quiet moments no one saw... They stopped being an obligation. And started becoming a choice. A slow-burn journey of grief, power, healing, and a love that didn't save them-but rebuilt them. Because sometimes, the most beautiful things are not found. They are built... from broken.Complete

And the woman Manik thought he knew is suddenly gone. Five years later, their lives have diverged, but the past refuses to stay buried. Secrets linger in the shadows, memories of love haunt every corner, and a single truth waits to be uncovered - one that could either destroy them completely or finally bring them back together.

Once deeply in love with his high school sweetheart Soha, Manik thought that chapter of his life had ended forever. Years later, he married Nandini Murthy through an arranged marriage - and unexpectedly found a love far greater, calmer, and realer than anything he had known before. Together they built a beautiful life. Until Soha returned. One mistake became betrayal. Betrayal became destruction. And destruction cost Manik everything. A wife who once worshipped him. A daughter who grew up fearing love. A son who never called him father. Parents who died disappointed. And a family that learned how to live happily without him. This is not a story about redemption.
