He didn’t believe in love.
She dreamed of nothing else.
Their marriage was never meant to be a fairytale—until it started to feel like one.
Ayush Singhania, heir to the Singhania Industries empire, has no time for romance—or marriage. As the driven CEO, his focus is on building his legacy, not settling down. But when family pressures force him into an arranged match, he reluctantly agrees. And then he meets her—Khanak.
Khanak Tyagi, a spirited architect with dreams of love and success, never imagined her parents would corner her into marriage. But bound by duty, guilt and something she doesn’t understand, she says yes, too—hoping to find companionship, maybe even love. What she finds instead is a harsh reality far from all her dreams and expectations.
Inside the opulent Singhania Mansion, her dreams begin to shatter. But something else starts too—something raw, unexpected, and deeply human.
Because real life doesn’t end with the wedding, it begins there.
Will Ayush and Khanak find love in the middle of the mess? Or will they always remain not so happily married?

Ruchi Chandra Verma
Ruchi Chandra Verma, author of several bestsellers, winner of the prestigious Golden Book Award for ‘Treading around Love’ in 2025, IAA’s Booker Prize, and several other awards for literary contributions and beyond, works in the IT industry as a Business Consultant.
She is a painter, an artist, and an avid healthy baker, passionate about writing poetry, articles, stories and reading any fiction she can get her hands on. She currently lives in Bangalore with her husband and child.
She wrote her first story at the age of 9 years but never got around to finishing it. The focus those days was on studies and sports, much more than story writing. She re-discovered her love for writing during her engineering college days and has been writing ever since. It all started with writing a few couplets and poems, mainly to channel her thoughts or feelings, but soon became a better way of expression, and imagination started seeping in.
Writing took a backseat for a while as life took over, with a full-time working career, family, and a young child to manage, but soon, the restlessness brought back the thrill she felt in writing. Once, a friend casually told her that she had a way with words, and she never looked back.
In 2019, she began publishing her poetry on Amazon Kindle and subsequently expanded her writing to include short stories and novels. She has published several romance novels, some of which have trended in the Top 10 for months. Now, she has more than 30 books published in her name. In 2022, her book was chosen in the Top 5 of the most prestigious Amazon Kindle’s PentoPublish Contest for all indie authors.
