Vihaan Rajput doesn’t believe in love. Or distractions. Especially not the kind that show up wearing wedding veils.
He’s too focused on building his tech empire in the U.S., too obsessed with success to entertain anything as inconvenient as feelings. So when his grandfather ties continued investment to an arranged marriage, Vihaan treats it like any other business deal—sign the papers, never look at the bride, and walk away the same night with a check in his pocket and zero guilt.

Diya Khanna had just earned her medical degree, but got the biggest shock when her mother asked her to marry a man she’d never met. And she did—quietly, gracefully, without expecting anything in return. But when her husband left without a word, Diya didn’t crumble. She packed her dreams, her ambition, and her pride, and moved to the U.S.—not to find him, but to become someone she didn’t need permission to be.
