“Synopsis: Roshni's life shattered and turned into the shadow of its formal self when she was dissuaded and lured into marriage with Desmond Dean, the powerful, scary, and invincible Billionaire. However, she concurred to that just for the sake of her family's happiness and to ensure they are free from bankruptcy and shame which the investors would bring to her family at large. She never wanted anything or a form of attitude that would tenish or terminate her oneness and affection with her parents and was always eager to remain tenacious in all circumstances. Right from her childhood, she has been a zealous, helpful, and Obedient daughter to her family who never hesitated to get her responsibilities put in place, especially the domestic aspects. Her enticing lifestyle and immediate response to her responsibilities keep her parents frequently chirpy and proud. Neither she nor her father ever expected the condition her father's company turns their lives to. Mr. Austin, Roshni's father who had his company crashed was a great man during his time, a well-known gentle, and kind man in their territory who never hesitated nor left any stone unturned in times of assisting the less privileged both financially and otherwise as he could, which brought the name "Philanthropist" to him as many do call him. During the period of bankruptcy due to the financial woes and crashes he experienced in his company, investors were angrily, strictly, and tenaciously without any atom of clemency, zealous to get rid of him by getting him jailed. But Mr. Austin, Roshni's father was afraid of going to jail and he had no other option than to embark on marriage expedient by having his daughter, Roshni married off to a billionaire which has never for once come to his thought. In order to settle or pay up the investors, Mr. Austin ignites his journey toward the only option he was left with, which is arranging a marriage for his daughter. Therefore, he meets Desmond Dean, the invincible billionaire begging him to invest in his company to save him from the investors and also to revive his business and Desmond Dean accepts to invest in his company but only if he will have Austin's daughter, Roshni in return. As a choiceless man, Mr Austin concurred with that. Even though Roshni knew it wouldn't be an easy journey for her with the invincible billionaire to embark on after her father told her about it, for the sake of love, she still adhered and admitted to do it. Her life with the cold billionaire was tough and boring due to his unfair behavior, inviolable commands, and rude manner towards her. Billionaire Desmond Dean never allowed her to express her opinion any time she tries to. She gets scolded and ignored by the billionaire, her husband at times and mostly when she fails to respond to his sexual reactions. All these happen to be the result of the fake love he has for her since all his intentions towards her center on only sexual satisfaction. Luckily, Roshni came across another young man called Barrack Dean, a half-brother to Desmond Dean one beautiful evening as she left for an errand. She had a little introduction or conversation with the young man and they both arrived at fathoming each other. As fate would have it, she founds peace of mind, love, and solace in the hands of the young man, Desmond's half-brother who later impregnated her. Now, do you think she can keep the pregnancy hidden from Desmond, her husband throughout the whole journey or terminate it to abstain from the invidious treatment of her husband towards her? What if Desmond Dean later finds out that his wife is pregnant for another man, is he going to take it likely and accept her with the pregnancy? Would the responsible man for the pregnancy, Barrack Dean protect and ensure she doesn't regret the pregnancy or get her life ruined if her husband discovers what's going on?”
