Not chosen by Love, but forever Entangled by Fate.

-----------------------------------------------

AVIYAN MALHOTRA

Love doesn't always come wrapped in choice. Sometimes... it comes disguised as destiny.

I loved her once. Silently. Hopelessly. From a distance she never noticed.

And when I finally decided to bury that love.....to move on, to live, to be free of her..... fate dragged me back to the very place I swore I'd never return.

Home.

I came back as a brother. As a guest. As a man who believed he had control over his life.

I left as a groom. Her groom.

Shristy Singh.

My brother's bride, my best friend, the woman my heart chose long before it was allowed to.

She was never meant to be mine. And yet, the sacred fire witnessed our vows.

Now she looks at me with confusion, restraint, and quiet fear. She doesn't know that every promise I made that day was built on years of unspoken love.

I didn't steal her from anyone. Fate handed her to me. And I will protect her. Claim her.
Love her...even if she never loves me back.

Because some men don't fall in love. They endure it.

SHRISTY SINGH

I believed love was gentle. Something chosen. Something mutual.

I was wrong.

One moment, I was a bride waiting for the man I loved. The next, I was standing beside his brother....wearing sindoor meant for someone else.

Aviyan Malhotra.

My best friend. My safe place. The one man who always stood beside me... never in front of me. Until destiny forced him there.

He looks calm, composed, controlled....but I feel it. The storm he hides behind his eyes.

He treats me with respect that feels too careful, with devotion that scares me, with a love I never asked for... but cannot escape.

I belong to him now.....by rituals, by vows, by a marriage that rewrote my life overnight.

My heart is confused. My soul is exhausted. And yet... when he looks at me, I don't feel unsafe.

I feel claimed.
He loves me in silence.

And I'm trapped between gratitude and guilt.

Because I married the wrong man....but maybe...
fate chose the right one.
