I always knew I wasn’t born to be exceptional. Not terrible, not great—just spectacularly average. Middle child, middle seat, middle marks. My sister aced everything like she came out of the womb holding a gold medal, and my brother… well, he didn’t even bother pretending to care.
And then there was me—Mitali Sharma—clinging to mediocrity like it was a security blanket.But this year, things were going to change.

Amaya’s voice: I came back to India after years abroad, hoping for a quick visit with my parents, but instead I was blindsided. They had arranged my marriage without ever asking me—an ultimatum wrapped in their toxic control and silent threats. Every word from them stung with betrayal. I wasn’t their obedient daughter anymore. I was angry. Defiant. Determined to break free from their chains, no matter the cost.Then there was Nevan Kapoor—the man they chose for me. A stranger at first, but soon I saw the rage hidden behind his calm, a mirror of my own fury. His past was dark like mine. Sent away to study abroad while his father’s infidelities shattered their home. His disdain for his father’s sins was as deep as my hatred for mine. We were prisoners in our parents’ twisted legacy, forced into a life neither of us wanted. Nevan’s voice: My father pretended the world was perfect, but behind closed doors, he was a man with broken vows and fleeting loyalties. His affairs, lies, and endless betrayals left my mother crushed and me angry and hollow. Sending me abroad was his way to erase me, but I never escaped the ghosts of home. Now, I’m back—trapped again, this time by an arranged marriage with Amaya Malhotra, a woman as fierce and broken as I am.I hated what my father did to us. I hated that my life was dictated by his mistakes. And I hated being forced into a marriage where love was an afterthought. Amaya’s fire matched my own. From our first bitter words, it was a war of wills, pain, and defiance—two souls battered but unwilling to surrender.Together, our story is a volatile dance between hate and a fragile bond forged by shared trauma. It’s about fighting the darkness we inherited and finding, perhaps, a glimmer of light in each other’s anger.
Love was never part of the arrangement. Survival was. Anvi Verma knows the human mind better than anyone—she can read pain, dissect fear, and heal broken hearts. But her own is a fortress, sealed by betrayal and silence. When she is forced into an arranged marriage with Vihaan Malhotra, the cold, disciplined heir to a powerful business empire, her world collapses into a cage built of loyalty and lies. Bound by family duty, Vihaan sees their marriage as just another obligation—until Anvi’s quiet defiance starts to unravel his perfectly controlled existence. Beneath her calm lies chaos, and beneath his restraint, a longing he can’t contain. As old wounds bleed and hidden truths surface, their fragile alliance turns combustible. Torn between pride and vulnerability, power and surrender, they must face a brutal question—will love free them, or destroy them both?
