Married to a Stranger

They had barely spoken before their wedding day. Jigyasa Mishra was an architect with a career she loved, a best friend who knew far too much about her, and absolutely no interest in becoming anyone's idea of the perfect wife. Arjun Choudhary was a respected lawyer with a reputation to maintain, a complicated history with relationships, and a life that had never included sharing his home with a near-stranger. Their families thought they were perfect for each other. Same background. Same social standing. Good careers. Good families. So they got married. Now comes the difficult part. Living together. Learning each other's habits. Arguing over work, chores, plans, and personal space. Showing up to family functions and office parties pretending they're already comfortable with each other. Learning when to compromise—and when not to. Because their families arranged the marriage. But they never arranged the part that comes after. And somewhere between awkward silences, late-night arguments, shared dinners, family chaos, and slowly growing trust... Two strangers might become something neither of them expected. **A marriage arranged by everyone else. A relationship they have to build themselves.**
