Suddenly, Khushi's world crumbled around her—like a storm that had silently gathered, only to explode without warning, tearing through the fragile fabric of her dreams. She stood frozen, the weight of a single, unexpected word sinking deep into her heart.
"Mummy..."
The small voice behind her struck like lightning.
She turned, her eyes wide and shimmering with unspoken questions. Her gaze darted across the room, searching the familiar faces for answers—any hint, any sign to make sense of the child's voice that now echoed in her soul.
"Who's that? Who is he?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
But the room responded only with silence. It was the kind of silence that didn't soothe—it suffocated. Every person present seemed burdened by secrets they weren't ready to share. Their eyes avoided hers. Their expressions were carefully composed, walls built over years of lies and withheld truths.
Tension hung heavy in the air. It was unbearable.
Then, finally—someone spoke.
Khushi had always dreamt of a fairy-tale wedding. Since she was a little girl, she had imagined herself walking down the aisle, hand-in-hand with her Prince Charming, her heart brimming with love and joy. She pictured a celebration filled with laughter, music, and blessings—a beginning that sparkled with hope.
And when the day came, it was indeed a grand affair. The venue glittered with opulence, bathed in soft lights and blooming with flowers of every colour. Society's elite had gathered under one dazzling roof, sipping champagne and exchanging smiles. Everything shimmered, as if pulled from the pages of a fantasy.
But Khushi—draped in bridal elegance—felt like a stranger in her own story.
She had never met her groom. Not once.
Not even a photograph.
All she knew was that he was India's most sought-after bachelor—a billionaire with the kind of charm that graced magazine covers and won hearts effortlessly. But to Khushi, he was a stranger behind the veil of wealth and power.
As she stood before the sacred fire, promising forever to someone she barely knew, a question pulsed in her chest:
Would he be the man she had always imagined?
Or was this just a beautifully dressed deal—a merger of wealth, names, and legacies?
She had the wedding of her dreams. But what happens when her dreams of starting a family are shattered by a cruel twist of fate?
And what if the truth behind her marriage cuts deeper than she ever imagined?
Could she forgive the very person she trusted above all—her sister?
Khushi was torn. Between love and betrayal. Between the past they shared and the truth that had been hidden from her. Could she reconcile the sister she adored with the one who had kept such a life-altering secret?
Betrayal doesn't always come from enemies. Sometimes, it comes from those you love the most.
She had trusted her parents. She had trusted her sister.
Now, she was questioning everything-every word, every memory, every moment of affection.
Was it all real?
Was any of it?
