Some marriages begin with a promise.

This one began with a secret.

Aanya Sharma believed she understood her life — her job, her family, her city, the small freedoms she had fought to keep. Then the Birlas entered it, bringing with them wealth, silence, and a debt no one had mentioned until it was almost too late.

Viraj Birla was not a man who inspired comfort. He was careful, controlled, and impossible to read. But behind that cold composure was a life shaped by duty, loss, and choices made for him long before Aanya ever entered the picture.She did not know that when she first looked at him, the real arrangement had already begun.

By the time the truth surfaced, Aanya would have to decide whether she was being handed a prison or an opportunity to fight back.

And Viraj would have to decide whether he was willing to let one sharp-tongued woman stand beside him without trying to own her.In a world built on power, silence, and inheritance, their marriage would not begin with trust.

It would begin with survival.
