Age - 24 At twenty-four, I had already learned something most people understood too late: "Power is quieter than noise." •I am not loud. •I am not dramatic. •I do not cry in public. •I observe. Born into Delhi’s political elite, raised in Lutyens’ Delhi’s guarded bungalows and diplomatic dinners, I grew up watching alliances form over dessert and enemies smile over champagne. I studied law not because my father wanted me to. But because I hate losing arguments. •Corporate litigation became my battlefield. •Courtrooms became my stage. •My juniors describe me as calm. •My seniors describe me as dangerous. Because when I spoke— I didn’t raise my voice. I dismantled logic. My core belief is simple: “Control khone ka matlab hai haar.” (To lose control is to lose.)

Former Cabinet Minister. •Strategic mind. Political survivor. I had fallen once — a corruption allegation years ago — but proved legally clean. Still, in politics, perception stains permanently. My weakness? ->My reputation. I believe in alliances. And marriages were sometimes the strongest alliances.

•Socially polished. •Reputation-conscious. •Elegant. I run charity foundations and high-profile events like clockwork. I care deeply about “log kya kahenge” (what will people say), not because she was shallow — but because I understand how society destroys women first.

Younger cousin of Aaradhya. My parents died in a car accident so from then I live with my uncle and aunt. MBA student. •Emotional. •Dramatic. •Loyal. I adore Aaradhya like my own elder sister.

Rajiv’s elder brother. Old-school. Conservative. Believe that reputation > happiness.

•Sweet-faced but sharp-tongued. •Secretly enjoys gossip.

MBA dropout. Entitled. Feels overshadowed by Aaradhya’s competence.

•Widow. •Strategic. •Highly intelligent. I had managed the family empire after my husband’s sudden cardiac. People underestimated my elegance. They shouldn’t have. I understand power, media, and political chess better than most men in the room.

•Studying architecture. •Modern. •Observant. •Slightly rebellious. I tease my brother often with : “Bhai, tumhe emotions ka software update kab milega?” (Brother, when will you get an emotional software update?) But I respect him deeply.

Social climber. just know how to party.

•Younger brother of Vihaan’s late father. •Feel the company should have been his. •Smiles publicly. •Resents privately.

Investigative journalist. •Bold. •Sharp-tongued. •Fearless. If Aaradhya was controlled fire, Naina was wildfire. They met in law school debates — Naina representing journalism, Aaradhya representing legal ethics. They fought first. Became inseparable later. Naina often warned her: “Tum logon pe trust bahut kam karti ho.” (You trust people very little.) Aaradhya would reply calmly: “Aur tum bahut zyada.” (And you trust too much.) They balanced each other.

Co-founder of Rathore Infrastructure. •IIT graduate. •Tech strategist. •Sarcastic by nature. Unlike Vihaan, Kabir spoke his mind. They had built the company together after college. Where Vihaan calculated. Kabir improvised. Where Vihaan was silent. Kabir joked. But Kabir knew one thing about his friend: If Vihaan moved, it was never random.

stood before a floor-to-ceiling mirror**

looking at her reflection in the mirror**

sitting on the couch while pouting**

Didi , Stop being so..........you

shooks her head**

You haven’t checked your phone once. You haven’t asked about the guest list. You haven’t even asked if Karan has arrived!

adjusted her heavy kundan choke**

Rhea, the guest list was finalized three months ago and the groom is scheduled to arrive at 8:00 PM.

looks at the clock**

It is currently 7:42 PM and panicking won’t make the clock move faster.

said while looking at her**

looks at her in disbelief and palms her face**

It’s your wedding, not a board meeting didi

you know na that in our family, weddings are no less than board meetings

said in her stoic voice**

enters inside and scanned her from head-to-toe**

The nath is slightly tilted

about to correct it**

Lemme help you

steps forward to adjust the nose ring**

nods**

Your father is downstairs with the Home Minister and you better remember Aaradhya that every lens in this city is pointed at us tonight

said while helping her with nose then then adjusted the veil on her head**

nods**

I know Maa

I will be back later

left from there**

sighs and looks at her reflection in the mirror once again**

Well didi , why did you choose him ?

Because he is logical , he is a businessman who understood the value of the Mehra name. It was a perfect alliance.

But didi this is your life.

yeah and let's see what turn my life will take after this wedding.

feels uneasy in her heart but doesn't show**

came inside and plopped directly on the couch with a low growl**

It's done

That greedy bastàrd......he is not coming. It's confirm.

You’re playing a dangerous game, man!!

warned him**

If she ever finds out you made her would-be-husband disappear... she’s a lawyer. She’ll skin you alive before she sues you.

But I bet when she will skin you alive......that show will be the best.

smirks**

By marrying her yourself ?!!

scoffs**

That’s not protection, Vihaan.......that’s a hostile takeover.

looks at him with his one eyebrow raised**

It’s everything but not simple........I need to dig the mind of this "shark".

muttered under his breath and started following him**
