Vikrant Rajawat believes emotions are distractions. At thirty-two, he's the controlled, disciplined, and fiercely protective CEO of one of Gurgaon's fastest-growing tech companies. He knows how to handle pressure, responsibility, and everything life throws at him. What he doesn't know how to handle is Siya. Bright, emotional, impulsive, and impossible to predict, she's everything his carefully ordered world isn't. Siya has always wanted a family of her own. After losing the people she loved most, the two little twins who have grown so attached to her become a part of her heart she can't imagine walking away from. And when circumstances leave Vikrant and Siya with a choice neither of them ever expected to make, they agree to marry for the twins. Not for love. Not for themselves. But to give two little children the family and security they deserve. It should have been simple. Two people. One marriage. A few boundaries. Except living under the same roof has a way of making those boundaries difficult to keep. Because somewhere between ordinary mornings, stolen glances, quiet conversations, and a family that slowly begins to feel like home... something starts to change. They entered the marriage for the twins. They just never expected to find something of their own along the way.



**Edited version** She could hear his footsteps approaching now. Slow. Unhurried. Dangerous. “Do you really think you can hide from me, jaan?” he murmured softly. The low warmth in his voice made her stomach flip. She stayed frozen beside the curtains while his footsteps came closer and closer. Then suddenly he was right behind her. Close enough for her to feel his warmth despite the cold weather. “Jaan...” he whispered near her ear. A shiver ran through her instantly. “Adi...” she breathed softly before finally turning toward him. And there he was. Her husband. The man she loved endlessly. For a second neither of them spoke. They simply looked at each other. Then Adi smiled softly and pulled her into his arms. Anu melted against him immediately. Safe. Warm. Home. His lips brushed gently against the tattoo on her neck, pressing slow lingering kisses there that made her knees weaken embarrassingly fast. The sensation sent warmth spreading through her entire body. “Adi...” she whispered softly, gripping his shirt tighter. And then he....



HIM People call me heartless. Maybe they were right. I never cared enough to prove them wrong anyway. Feelings were always meaningless to me. Temporary. Weak. Replaceable. Until her. The moment I saw her for the first time, something inside me shifted. For the first time in years, my heart actually reacted to someone. One look at her… And it skipped a beat. Her innocence draws me in like a dangerous addiction. The softness in her eyes, the purity in her smile, the way she unknowingly destroys my self control every single time she’s near me… I’ve been with countless women before. Models. Socialites. Beautiful faces with empty connections. But she is different. Dangerously different. She is my best friend’s little sister. The one woman I should stay away from. But the more I try, the deeper I fall. Because one thing is becoming terrifyingly clear now… She is mine. Only mine. HER I’ve never seen a man more attractive than him. Everything about him feels dangerous. His hazel eyes are intense enough to make my heart race and my knees weak at the same time. He barely smiles, barely talks, and yet somehow his presence alone affects me more than anyone ever has. After my brother, he’s the first man I’ve ever felt this comfortable around. Everyone says he’s cold. Heartless. Untouchable. But I don’t believe that. Because behind his guarded eyes and emotionless expressions, I’ve seen glimpses of someone softer. Someone protective. Someone capable of loving deeply. And every passing day… I feel myself falling harder for him. Even when I know I probably shouldn’t. Read the full prologue inside… ✨
