She was meant to marry the Younger brother. Meera's wedding to Aarav was supposed to be simple — a match arranged by two powerful families. But hours before the vows, Aarav disappears, leaving behind whispers, disgrace, and a broken bride. To protect their name, Veer Pratap Singh — the elder brother no one ever expected — is forced to take his place at the mandap. Cold. Commanding. A complete stranger. She became his wife in a moment of shame. He took her hand in silence. But his eyes? They never asked permission. Now, in a marriage born of duty, she's trapped with a man who doesn't speak of love… But watches her like she’s already his. And the scariest part? Maybe she already is.
