"Mr. Raichand..." she whispered, her voice trembling. "Aditya..." he murmured, eyes burning into hers. "Say it." He pulls her close in a spin, her hair whips against his jaw, making him smirk as he tightens his hold on her waist. His palm slides slowly from the curve of her back to the side of her thigh as he guides her movements, making her shiver but forcing herself to stay composed. She swallowed, lifting her chin, meeting his gaze. Something shifted. They were no longer husband and wife bound by arrangement, but two souls locked in a storm. "Aditya.." Aaradhya whispered, her voice seductive. Aditya inhaled a sharp breath his hold tightning on her. Their steps grew sharper. Her leg hooked around his thigh in a daring cross, her slit revealing flashes of skin that made his jaw clench. His hand gripped her back, dangerously low, daring her to protest. Every turn, every press, every snap of their heels told a story anger, desire, unspoken hunger. The music built to its peak. Aditya spun Aaradhya one last time, then caught her in a deep, breathtaking dip. Her hair brushed the marble floor, her lips inches from his. The crowd erupted in applause, but they didn't hear it. Aditya pulled her upright, holding her tight, chest to chest. His lips hovered by her ear. "Mrs. Aditya Raichand," he whispered. "An arranged marriage. Two broken souls. One uncertain future." 👨‍⚖️Aditya Raichand - Once the heart of every room, a boy full of life, laughter, and love. Now? Cold. Distant. Ruthless. A man who buries kindness beneath layers of silence. He trusts no one-not even himself. 👩‍⚕️Aaradhya Malhotra - Once a lively, fearless dreamer who spoke her heart out. Now? Quiet. Guarded. Broken. Her smiles are rare, her past a wound she never talks about. Forced into an arranged marriage by their families, their worlds collide.🤵‍👰‍ They don't believe in love. They don't believe in healing. And they definitely don't believe in each other.

Arrogant, untouchable, and fiercely powerful, Anurag is a high-society billionaire who rules his corporate empire with an iron fist. He is a man who doesn't care about emotions, only control. Under sudden, dangerous circumstances, Anurag steps in and marries Prerna to save her from a brutal fate. It should have been her salvation.

"How dare you accept his flowers?" Before she could even react, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him. Sejal stumbled, her body colliding straight into his chest. Her breath hitched. "I warned you, didn't I?" he said, his jaw tight, eyes dark with something she couldn't fully name... anger, yes but something deeper, more dangerous. His grip tightened. Too tight. His nails unintentionally dug into her skin. "Ouch-!" she winced, her face scrunching in pain. And that's when it happened. The shift. His eyes dropped to her wrist. Red. Marked because of him. As if reality snapped back into place, he immediately let go, his fingers retreating like he'd been burned. "Shit... I-" His voice softened instantly. "I'm really sorry, baby... did it hurt?" he murmured, his thumb brushing lightly over the same spot he had just hurt. The same hand. The same man. Two extremes. Sejal didn't answer. She just looked at him. And for a moment... she didn't know which version of him was real. ~~~ Sejal Sharma. A 19 year old first-year BSc Mathematics student. Soft-hearted. Kind. The kind of girl who finds it easy to love everyone. Everyone... except one person. Dev Dixit. Her brother's best friend. The one person she could never stand. Years ago, when the Dixit family shifted from India to Australia, Sejal had been happy. Relieved, even. Distance meant peace. Or at least that's what she thought. Because life had other plans. Now, she was in Australia too. Living alone in an apartment just a few houses away from the Dixit residence. Same city. Same university. And Dev Dixit? He wasn't just around anymore. He was closer than ever. An MSc first-year student. Older. Sharper. More dangerous than she remembered. And this time...there was no escaping him.
