Plot
Aditya Hooda and Zoya Siddiqui are two individuals brought together through their spouses' betrayal.
Aditya and Zoya's spouses Pooja and Yash are found dead together in a road accident. They discover that the two were having an affair. Aditya channels his grief into anger while Zoya goes into denial. She takes over Yash's company and Aditya declares himself her partner after learning Pooja had invested his money into the company.
Aditya and Zoya receive divorce papers from their spouses that reach them late. Unable to run from the truth anymore, Zoya attempts suicide but is saved by Aditya. As the two bond, a mysterious CBI inspector named Rajveer Khanna enters their lives with a relentless hunger to put them behind bars. He believes that they are guilty for the murder of their spouses and frames the two as such. Having grown to trust one another, Aditya and Zoya go on the run to prove their innocence.
Aditya's father, Harshvardhan Hooda who is a top lawyer, proves them innocent. Zoya reads Pooja's diary and breaks down, learning about the fact that Pooja was pregnant with Yash's child. Reeling from the revelations and unable to understand how to react, Aditya reads Pooja's diary trying to understand her side of the story. Broken but resolute, Aditya and Zoya decide to move on from their past. Together, they forgive Yash and Pooja. Aditya leaves for Paris, wanting time to reflect on himself, while Zoya focuses on reviving her bankrupt company.
Six months later
Zoya is a successful entrepreneur; Aditya remains in Paris. Sakshi is being held hostage by Anjana. Zoya supports Noor and Arjun when she comes to know about their love for each other. After Aditya returns home, he finds Zoya a more confident and assertive person while he himself has become quieter. Their friendship blooms as they begin spending time together. Aditya feels new emotions arising in his heart for Zoya. He realizes that he has fallen in love with her.
When Aditya decides to confess to Zoya, he comes to know that Waseem is trying to set her up with Arshad Habib, his friend's son. Jealousy hits Aditya as he sees Arshad and Zoya spending time together. Sakshi is aware that it was Anjana who had murdered Pooja and Yash and warns her of the fact. In fear of getting exposed, Anjana pushes Sakshi off a cliff. Aditya fakes a phone call to Arshad sending him to the hospital unaware that riots were happening in that area. Meanwhile, differences arise between Arjun and Noor. Aditya confesses his love to Zoya due to which she misunderstands him and assumes that the fake phone call was his deliberate attempt to hurt Arshad. Amidst the confusion, Zoya agrees to marry Arshad.
Aditya confronts Zoya and asks her to listen to her heart and accept her true feelings but she remains obstinate. His words continue to linger in her mind as the ceremonies take place. She tries faking a smile but realizes that she is genuinely not happy. On the wedding day, Zoya reminisces her moments with Aditya and is unable to answer when asked if she is willing to marry Arshad. Realising Zoya loves Aditya but is unable to express, Arshad backs off. Zoya accepts having feelings for Aditya due to which Waseem breaks ties with her. Aditya proposes Zoya and they get married, the two promising to always love, trust and stand by each other.
Zoya gets anonymous messages and calls, threatening her. The blackmailer is revealed to be Rajveer's grandmother. She brings out the truth about Rajveer being Aditya and Arjun's half brother and reveals the story about Harshvardhans's past wherein he was with Pallavi. Pallavi was pregnant with Rajveer but Harsh, unaware about it, had married Anjana. Pallavi tried telling him the truth but Anjana, who was pregnant with Aditya, had threatened her to stay away. Years later, when Harsh decided to go back to Pallavi, Anjana blackmailed and stopped him. Heartbroken, Pallavi committed suicide. Everyone is shocked hearing the revelations. The next moment, Harsh is found dead and Aditya is lying unconscious, holding the knife smeared with blood. Anjana goes in shock and Arjun leaves the house. Rajveer causes misunderstandings between Aditya and Zoya. The two, broken and helpless, go their separate ways. Zoya, Noor, Roshnaq and Waseem leave for Mussoorie.
One year later
