Vivaan Raghuvanshi, CEO of Raghuvanshi Enterprises, carried the weight of a love he could never let go of-Anaya, now the wife of his greatest rival. No matter how much time had passed, he remained shackled to her memory. Facing his new bride, Ira Malhotra, the daughter of his father's best friend, he spoke with cold finality. "Don't expect anything from this marriage-or from me. We aren't meant to be. This is just a marriage of convenience." The words pierced Ira Malhotra's heart, though she had always known about his past, about the woman he still couldn't move beyond. Still, knowing didn't lessen the sting. Still, she loved him. "Vivaan... why don't you give this marriage a chance?" she whispered. His jaw clenched, but he offered no reply. He simply turned and left, leaving Ira in silence-heartbroken, yet unwilling to stop hoping for a place in his shattered heart.
