She sighed, stepping away from the crowd and answering, “Yes, Papa?” Her father’s warm but firm voice came from the other end. “Aditi, I’ve found a boy for you. A nice family, well-settled. Coincidentally, he’s also in Dehradun for some work. You can meet him tomorrow before coming back.” “What? Papa! I just came for the wedding, not to—” “No arguments, beta. You’ll just meet him once.

But love changes him more than he expected — and when the truth comes out, it’s not her trust he must win, but her forgiveness. Story: Aditya Malhotra — the name that ruled the business world.
