“Love between a maid and her master isn’t possible, Your Highness!” I said nervously. But he wouldn’t listen. He smirked, pulled my waist closer to him, then bent down and pressed his lips against mine. My eyes widened in horror. “W-what are you doing, Your Highness? This is forbidden!” I trembled. He chuckled softly and lifted my chin. “It would be more forbidden,” he whispered, “if I kiss you and you don’t respond.”

Aarav Malhotra doesn’t believe in love—only control. As the heir to a failing business empire, he agrees to a contract marriage to protect his family’s name and secure his future. Siya Verma has spent her life learning one painful truth: love always comes with conditions. When circumstances force her into the same legally binding agreement, she accepts for one reason only—freedom. Six months. No emotions. No expectations. No love. Their marriage is supposed to be nothing more than ink on paper and perfectly staged smiles. But behind closed doors, the lines begin to blur. Lingering glances turn dangerous, shared silences grow intimate, and emotions neither of them planned for begin to surface. As ambition, secrets, and public scrutiny threaten to expose the truth, Aarav and Siya are forced to confront the risk they never accounted for—falling in love inside a relationship built to prevent it. Because when a marriage begins as a lie, the truth can destroy everything. And when the contract ends, one question remains: Was it ever just business… or was fate waiting for them to sign?

Forced into close proximity, old wounds resurface, and the careful distance between them begins to erode. What starts as performance slowly gives way to reluctant understanding, revealing the cost of their bitterness—and the possibility that something real may yet be built from what was never meant to be love.

You were never meant to choose him,” Ethan said quietly, his voice controlled, steady, as his hand closed around Clara’s wrist—firm enough to stop her, gentle enough to make her listen. Clara’s breath hitched. Not from fear. But from the shock of hearing Ethan finally claim something after years of silence. She had chosen Ryan. The boy she loved openly. The one everyone approved of. The one who stood beside her without hesitation. Ethan stayed in the background. He watched Clara fall in love with another man. Watched her give her smiles, her trust, her future to someone else. He never interfered. Never confessed. Never crossed the line. Loving her quietly was the only restraint he allowed himself. Until restraint became regret. Clara was meant to be his forever. But one choice changed everything. The man she chose began to feel distant. And the man who had loved her in silence for years started to feel far more dangerous than the one she trusted. This is not a story about stolen love. It is a story about patience, restraint, and the devastating cost of choosing the right man over the one who waited.
