And then came the twist neither of them planned.
Iraaya was pregnant.
The same day she found out, Annirudh was getting married.
To her step-sister.
Now fate stands at a crossroads.
Was their bond just a temporary shelter from heartbreak,
or a love powerful enough to survive betrayal, blood, and broken vows?
When truth collides with duty,
will Annirudh and Iraaya choose each other
or fall apart under the weight of their own secrets?

Abhinav × Charvini:
Abhinav never belonged to quiet places.
He lived in numbers that didn’t add up, money that wasn’t clean, and ledgers written for criminals who erased people as easily as mistakes.
A criminal accountant. Invisible. Replaceable. Dangerous.
Mount Abu was never meant to be a refuge.
He came looking for the truth.
For the real culprit behind his mother’s death.
His father had stopped waking up years ago, trapped in a coma that felt like punishment stretched across time.
So Abhinav learned early.
People leave. Silence stays.
He didn’t expect to find her.
Charvini lived a life built on softness.
A pre-school teacher who believed in morning prayers, crayon-stained hands, and stories that ended well.
She walked with a limp in her right leg.
A flaw the world noticed before it ever saw her kindness.
It was enough for her fiancé to call off the wedding.
Enough to make her feel unwanted. Replaceable.
And then fate played its cruel joke.
Her groom vanished.
Abhinav took his place.
A stranger became her replaced husband, tied to her by circumstances neither of them chose.
Abhinav told himself it was temporary.
A role to play. A lie to wear.
But lies get dangerous when they start feeling warm.
Charvini’s innocence was disarming.
She had never worn a lehnga in her life.
Never learned how to open the heavy bridal knots.
So she asked him.
Softly. Trustingly.
As if he were already hers.
That was the moment Abhinav realized the truth.
He hadn’t come to Mount Abu just for revenge.
He came to lose himself.
Because loving Charvini meant risking everything he was.
And for the first time, numbers couldn’t calculate the cost.
Some stories begin with crime.
Some with broken vows.
This one begins when a man who never believed in purity
falls in love with a woman who never learned how to doubt.
