Two cold personalities who never believed in love are arranged to get married. One carries deep trust issues due to a horrific past that still haunts her. The other is a workaholic man who sees love as nothing more than childish nonsense. "Love is not in my vocabulary, so don't expect anything from me in this marriage. We're simply tied together in a knot-just a marriage of convenience, that's all. For the world, we're husband and wife, but inside this room, we're strangers," he declared. "I don't even trust you, let alone have any expectations from you. So rest assured, Mr. Raghuvanshi, I only married you because of my grandparents. If not for them, we wouldn't even be standing here," she replied coldly before heading into the washroom to freshen up. Will they ever come close? "Can't you just leave me alone?" she asked, her voice breaking as more tears slipped from her eyes. "I didn't hold your hand just to let go of you. I'll always be there with you-and never leave, even if you want me to," he said, holding her tightly in his arms, offering her warmth and comfort. He claimed he doesn't believe in love... Then why does her presence affect him so deeply? Why does it hurt when she cries in his arms? Something is blooming between them-something they can't yet name. Will they ever discover true love? Or will their marriage remain just what it began as-a loveless bond? Will she ever heal or remain broken? --- ⚠️ Warning: This story contains sensitive topics such as trauma, physical abuse, and strong language. Reader discretion is advised.
