The Secret Feelings Angle

She thought it was just business. He knew it was always personal. Ishita Verma and Kabir Khanna-business partners, industry rivals, and once, childhood friends. But that was a long time ago. The boy who used to be her closest friend is now a powerful CEO, unreadable and distant. And she? She has learned to keep her heart locked away, especially where Kabir is concerned. So when he proposes an arrange marriage, calling it a strategic business move, she doesn't know whether to laugh or scream. A marriage built on a contract? No love, no feelings-just business. Fine. She can play this game too. But what Ishita doesn't know is that Kabir has always loved her. That this deal isn't about business for him-it's his last chance to bring her back into his life. And when jealousy, passion, and old emotions come crashing down, will this contract lead to love -or will it destroy whatever they have left? ---
