"I do not wish for too big nor too small. Just the right to feel human and be proud of that." Priyanka Kapoor, a 20 years-old lady, faced with a hard life after her father's death, is forced to venture into the worst career she could imagine – dancing in public pubs! With a dancing competition set in place, Priyanka sets her goal of winning to save her family's situation. When an unavoidable accident happens, causing her to miss her competition, Priyanka thinks all hope is lost. But, was it? Or was there more when a dashing stranger who ruined her chances reappears with a strange proposal?

He brought his face so close to hers, that she thought for a moment, that theirs were going to meet. What was he doing? Who told him she was going to fall for this? "Do not be stubborn, Priyanka" "What do you say about my offer?" "For my brother's health, I will marry…" "Not so fast," a wicked smile appeared on his face. He placed his lips, right before her ears and said "nothing goes for free, here. I have my terms and conditions." "I will provide you with all the money, you need in this world" the Billionaire's voice rang in her ears. "Sign a contract with three rules and save your dear family." "What are these conditions?" "Firstly, you will be a mother to my daughter. Secondly, this marriage will be built on trust, not love. You are not allowed to love another man or woman." "Lastly, you can't divorce me.

"Karan…" Salem called. He walked faster to meet up with him. When he got to him, he saw that he was right all these while. Something was wrong. "What happened, buddy?"

Salem sighed. He was trying to strong even it was clearly written on his face that he was sad "you can lie to the world but not me. I know you are not fine. Did you fought with your wife?"
Karan shook his head again. He smiled ruefully and turned to the wall "I don't know what is wrong with her. She behaved strangely after a call and when I asked her about it, she got angry and left."
"Oh, I see…" Salem nodded. He understood why Priyanka did not come to back to the gallery. He was surprised when Karan told him that she was tired and wanted to rest. "So, what's in your head? You think she is talking to some one she is not supposed to?"
