The rathore mansion was a place of elegance - quiet halls, shining chandeliers and wealth woven woven into every corner

. Yet beneath the surface, warmth was scarce. The family lived not as one , but as individuals under the same roof.

At the dining table nandini rathore sat sipping her morning tea . She liked control, order and she expected her family to follow the same

Across her dev rathore sat silently with newspaper in his hands

Suddenly footsteps echoed from hall

Ranveer rathore entered wearing a tailored gray suit . Every inch of him spoke discipline and power

He nooded towards his parents

"Good morning"

" You left before sunrise again" - Ragini said her tone even

" I had a meeting " - ranveer says her focus on phone and a little on food also that he was eating sitting on the dining table

Moments later , khushi rathore entered , still in satin robe , scrolling her robe , scrolling her phone

" Morning, everyone" , she said lightly

" Is yugveer awake " nandini said

"I will check" khushi said , turing towards the stairs

She returned a few minutes later with yugveer rathore following behind - dresses casually in a sweatshirt, hair slightly messy

" Morning " he greeted

" You missed breakfast again " Ragini said

" I had some work " yugveer said

" Ok come and eat" nandini said

Ranveer glanced at his brother briefly ,then returned his focus to phone . They weren't close - not exactly but they understood each other

Khushi sat at the corner of dining table, always the quiet observer,l .she loved her brothers fiercely, but she knew that they have everything money , power but they don't have what they want love

"Hmm I have to talk to you two about something" nandini said

"What" ranveer said his voice calm

" I have fixed your boths marriage" nandini said

"What mom what are you saying you have not asked bros"khushi said

"I don't have time to marry and I don't want to marry " ranveer said his jaw clenched with anger

"How many times should we have to tell you we don't want to marry' yugveer screamed his voice echoing through the house

" Beta I know you don't want to but you have to you both are getting older - nandini said

Yeah my son's you two should marry now - dev

Don't worry about the girls we have choosen them . They will be your wives in front of whole world but she will be our maid in reality - nandini

" No means no "-. Yugveer said

Suddenly Ragini held a knife near her wrist and everybody panicked

" Mom pls don't pls mom"- khushi said crying.

" If you two don't marry with the girls I have choosen then i will kill myself "- nandini said

"Mom why are you doing this " - ranveer with frustration

" Just tell me if you are going to marry girls choosen by me or i will kill myself "- nandini

"Fine"- both ranveer and yugveer said with anger inside them

But don't ever think we will love them  - ranveer and tugveer
