A Game, A Betrayal, and an Unwanted Marriage Chapter 1: The Bet That Started It All College was supposed to be simple—study, graduate, and make your parents proud. But life had different plans, especially when Vihaan Rathore decided you were his next target. Vihaan wasn’t just another student. He was the golden boy of campus—rich, charming, and a certified playboy with a reputation of never failing to get any girl he wanted. His friend circle was the kind you’d stay far away from—loud, arrogant, and always up to no good. And you? You were their opposite. An introverted, studious girl who focused on books rather than boys. You were the kind of girl who stayed in the library during breaks, wore simple kurtis instead of trendy outfits, and never gave these so-called “cool” guys a second glance. Which made you the perfect challenge. “Ek bet lagate hain,” Vihaan’s friend smirked one evening, lounging in the college canteen. “Agar tu isko ek hafte mein apni girlfriend bana sake, toh tujhe ek lakh.” Vihaan chuckled, leaning back in his chair. One week? That was too easy. “Agar ek lakh se zyada ka thrill mil raha ho, toh paison ki zaroorat nahi hoti,” he smirked. “Challenge accepted.” And so, the game began. Chapter 2: Falling for the Illusion What started as a joke soon turned into something else. Vihaan tried his usual tricks—flirty lines, casual touches, dramatic gestures—but nothing worked. You weren’t impressed. But he didn’t give up. Instead of his usual playboy attitude, he changed tactics. He pretended to care, to listen, to notice the little things. He waited outside your classes, offered to walk you home, brought coffee when you were studying late. He started talking about things that mattered to you—books, family, dreams. Slowly, your walls came down. Two months. That’s how long it took for you to finally believe that maybe, just maybe, Vihaan Rathore wasn’t as shallow as he seemed. When he finally asked you out, you said yes. Chapter 3: The Perfect Lie The next few months were a dream. Vihaan became your world. He called you first thing in the morning, texted you all day, and dropped you home every evening. He was funny, charming, and affectionate—everything you had never imagined falling for. And you were in love. Everyone warned you. “Vihaan isn’t serious.” “He’s just playing with you.” But you didn’t believe them. You were convinced that you were different. That he had changed for you. What you didn’t know was that behind those sweet words and loving gestures, Vihaan was still Vihaan. Still lying. Still cheating. Chapter 4: The Night That Shattered Everything Graduation night was supposed to be special. You had planned to surprise Vihaan with a gift—something personal, something meaningful. But instead, you were the one who got the surprise. The moment you walked into that locked room at the party, your world stopped. Vihaan was there. With another girl. Not just with her—without clothes, tangled in sheets, whispering the same sweet lies he once told you. For a second, you couldn’t breathe. Then, he saw you. "Shit," Vihaan muttered, scrambling up. "Baby, this isn't—" But you didn’t wait to hear his excuses. You turned and walked away. Not just from that room. From him. From everything. Chapter 5: Disappearing Act Vihaan expected you to yell, to cry, to slap him. But you didn’t. You simply vanished. Blocked his number. Ignored his messages. Never showed up to college again. And just like that, the game was over. The only difference? You weren’t playing. Chapter 6: An Unwanted Marriage Two years later. You had moved on—or at least tried to. You had buried that part of your past, focusing on your future. Love? That was a joke. You had learned your lesson the hard way. But fate wasn’t done messing with you yet. “Your marriage is fixed,” your parents announced one evening. You didn’t even argue. After what happened with Vihaan, you had lost the right to dream of love. If this was what your parents wanted, so be it. And so, within a month, you were married to a stranger. Shaurya Rathore. He was cold, distant, and clearly uninterested. The wedding had been a business deal, nothing more. He wasn’t looking for a wife, and you weren’t looking for love. Which should have made things simple. But then, Vihaan happened. Chapter 7: The Devil Returns The first evening at your new home was already overwhelming. Traditions, rituals, a hundred unfamiliar faces. You sat on the carpet, your dupatta covering your face, waiting for yet another ridiculous ceremony to end. And then— “Ohhh!! Lagta hai maine bohot kuch miss kar diya… Hain na, bhai?” Your breath caught. That voice. That playful, carefree voice you had once loved, the voice that had whispered lies in your ears. No. It couldn’t be. The room erupted in smiles and laughter as he walked in. Vihaan. Of course, he wasn’t abroad for studies. He had been out partying, living life as usual. Vihaan kissed his mother’s cheek dramatically. "Aww, mamma! I missed you so much!" Shaurya’s face darkened instantly. His already foul mood worsened. And then—Vihaan’s gaze fell on you. Well, on your veiled form. He kneeled beside you, smirking. “Aur bhabhi…” he teased. “Mera bhai ko gulam mat bana ke rakhna, okay?” Laughter filled the room. You couldn’t move. He didn’t know. Vihaan had no idea that the girl sitting next to his brother—his bhabhi—was the same girl he had betrayed two years ago. And you? You had no idea that the boy who once ruined love for you was now your devar. The game had started again. Only this time, you weren’t playing.

Vihaan still has no idea that his new bhabhi is actually his ex-girlfriend—the only girl who was ever truly loyal to him. And when he finds out? Let the drama begin. The Unspoken Truth Shaurya has no idea about your past with Vihaan. No one in the family does. Of course, Vihaan isn’t the type to introduce every girl he’s been with—especially when there are over a thousand. He never took relationships seriously, so why would he ever bring them up at home? And now, fate has played the cruelest trick. The girl who once loved Vihaan unconditionally, the one he cheated on and broke, is now sitting under the same roof… as his brother’s wife. Vihaan still doesn’t know. Shaurya still doesn’t know. But when the truth comes out? This house won’t stay the same.
