Duty and Desire
A marriage of compulsion. A love that refused to die. A past that will not stay buried.
When Karan Rathore's dying father demands he marry the daughter of an old friend, Karan agrees - not out of devotion, but to protect his inheritance and the tech empire he built from the ground up. Torn from New York and the love of his life, Karan returns to India and weds a girl he has no interest in knowing - not even her name.
Two and a half years later, Karan is a rising star on the global stage - CEO, innovator, success story. But as he prepares to sever ties with the ghost of a marriage he never truly entered, a growing hollowness begins to gnaw at his core.
Back in Rajasthan, the bride he left behind has lived a quiet life of solitude and silent strength. Unseen and unacknowledged, she remains bound to a man who has never once looked back.
When fate brings them face to face again, unexpected truths begin to unravel. Karan is forced to confront not only the woman he abandoned - but also the man he's become.
Is redemption possible in a marriage born of obligation? Can duty ever truly give way to desire?
