A fake marriage.
A secret deal. 

Hiba Siddiqui only wants two things in life - freedom and a visa to the UK. Marriage? Just a shortcut to tick off both. Love? Please, she's not that desperate.

Izhan khan likes his life simple - work, gym, sleep, repeat. 
Marriage? A responsibility, not a romance. 
When family pressure forces him into a rishta, he agrees - on one condition: no expectations, no complications, and definitely no love.

The plan is foolproof:
A temporary marriage.
A picture-perfect couple for the world to see.
Zero emotional involvement.

But when sarcasm meets silence, clumsiness tests patience, and late-night conversations reveal what neither of them signed up for...

Lines blur.
Rules break.
And hearts? Well... they were never part of the contract.

He wasn't supposed to care.
She wasn't supposed to feel.
And hearts were never supposed to break in a deal like this.
_ _ _

"I have a habit of breaking things."
"I've noticed."
"And... I talk too much."
"I'm aware."
"And I'm sarcastic."
"I'll survive."

The only thing harder than faking a love story... is not falling into one.
Falling in love was never part of the deal... but some deals are made to be broken.

-- PROLOGUE "Let me get this straight. We have nothing in between us, except for the deal we made that day" he spoke in a monotonous tone. "I am the one carrying your name behind me; we are married. how can you say we have nothing in between us? Huh" She yelled at him, tears blurred her vision, and she spoke her heart to him. "For god's sake, this marriage was to save you! Can't you get that? I did not do it willingly, I do not love you!!" He yelled back at her, shattering her heart into pieces. "Why can't you just love me?" She spoke, as she cried the tears of hurt, and pain. Her heart thumped loudly due to the shivering sensation She felt all over her body. "I never made a commitment to you, or gave you any false hope, neither did i say that i love you. Did i?" He asked her, in a very cold tone. She looked at him through her teary eyes. It's getting difficult for her to even breathe. "It was your eyes, the damn eyes. Who gave me the false hope. They say, "Eyes speak the truth," but what about mine? Couldn't you feel the sincerity within them, expressing my deep affection for you? Why didn't you see the love shining in them? Was it too complex to understand? Couldn't you notice the warmth as they gazed at you? They search for you in every corner, If only you realized how they silently echoed the emotions I couldn't articulate. They say, "Eyes never deceive." But what about yours? They played a trick on me when they met mine, painting a facade of a world that wasn't real. They made me feel loved, Leading me into a belief that crumbled, louder than your spoken promises. Why did they betray me? Was it your eyes or you that masked the truth?" He stayed still, not moving or saying anything at her statement. --

He had never thought, any one in the world could make your world of emotions as upside down, as Aarohi did his. And he hated every ounce of it. That's what he told himself anyways, until he had figured out, that he can't keep away from her, and she can't resist him for long. But how long could such a forbidden attraction continue, especially in India. Especially when she's your sister's best friend. Especially when it turns into love. Amidst the celebration of an upcoming wedding, feelings get lost, emotions whirl around, romance turns forbidden, and hearts are found.
