It hurts to watch the love of your life marry someone else. But it hurts even more to realize you were never their first choice.
Jiya Walia has loved Nikhil Khanna for as long as she can remember. He was her first kiss, her forever, the man who once promised her a future filled with love.
Time, however, has a way of rewriting vows. When Nikhil returns from Amsterdam, he doesn’t come back alone. He returns with the woman he loves—and plans to marry.
Then, on the day of the engagement, everything shatters. The bride disappears. And in the chaos that follows, Jiya is asked to take her place.
Any sensible woman would have walked away. But love has never been sensible. Still holding on to a hope she should have let go of long ago, Jiya agrees—only to have her heart broken once more.
“I can never love you like a husband,” Nikhil told her on their wedding night.
Bound by marriage but divided by love, Jiya is left with one haunting Can love ever grow where it was never chosen first?
