Ex-Enemy turned Stepbrother:His Obessison with me The Missing File Crisis
Saira hurried down the hallway, her mind racing as she replayed every step she’d taken since she first held that critical file. How had it disappeared? She had been so careful, almost obsessively so. Now, with only minutes left, panic was setting in.Sophia’s words echoed in her mind: “I assume that shouldn’t be a problem for you, considering you’re the CEO’s secretary now.” Saira hadn’t expected things to be easy, but the pressure of this role was proving more intense than she’d imagined. And Sophia’s satisfaction at her struggling made it worse. Her heart pounded as she checked the clock—twelve minutes until the meeting.Determined not to lose her nerve, Saira took a deep breath and retraced her steps in her mind. She remembered gathering data files from Raj’s office, creating the report, and setting up in the boardroom. She’d left the files there briefly… had someone else taken it? Her eyes darted around and spotted an unmarked door nearby, recognizing it as a storage room she hadn

Saira POVAs the last board member left, Raj’s gaze shifted slowly to me, intense and unreadable. “Come to my office,” he ordered, his voice low and firm. I followed him out of the boardroom, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Sophia gritting her teeth in anger. I didn’t dwell on her strange behavior, though; I was too focused on keeping up with Raj.Once inside his office, the door closed behind us with a soft click. I barely had a moment to register the silence before Raj’s hands were on me, pinning me gently against the wall. He raised my arms above my head, his face only inches from mine, his dark eyes holding me captive. His gaze felt as if he were looking straight into my soul, peeling back my defenses. He leaned in close, his lips just brushing my ear as he spoke in a low, almost tender tone. “You should have told me about the problem you were facing. But you chose to handle it alone… why?”His warm breath sent shivers down my spine, and I felt a flutter of

Sophia’s sarcastic voice cut through the darkness, mocking me. “No, Saira, we’re just having fun in here, obviously! What do you think?”I took a deep breath, trying to ignore her mocking tone. But the truth was, the dark, enclosed space was suffocating. My chest tightened, and I felt an all-too-familiar fear creeping in—a fear rooted in a nightmarish memory I’d tried so hard to forget.Flashback…That day had been nothing short of disastrous. I’d poured my heart into a project, sacrificing sleep and giving it my all for the past four months. But just as success felt within reach, everything came crashing down. I found out another department had stolen my work, and my own manager accused me of plagiarism. The humiliation, the anger—it took hours to clear my name, hours of watching my hard work crumble in front of me.By the time everything was resolved, I was drained. There were no cabs in sight, so I ended up walking home, each step weighed down with frustration and exhaustion. I eve

Saira's povRaj’s lips moved against mine with a hunger that took me by surprise. His mouth was warm, coaxing me to melt into the kiss.

His hand moved from my cheek to the back of my neck, drawing me closer, intensifying the connection and cradling, pulling mecloser as if he was worried I might slip away.

RAJ'S POVI barely registered the words spilling from Alexa’s mouth—"Saira’s stuck in the elevator. There’s a blackout, and Sophia’s in there with her." That was all it took for panic to slice through me like a blade. I knew Saira’s fear of the dark, knew the way she fought to keep it hidden, the memories that resurfaced whenever she was trapped in enclosed, pitch-black spaces.Dropping everything, I shot out of my office, not caring about the paperwork scattered across my desk. My mind raced with a thousand images of Saira alone in that dark, suffocating space, her fear clawing at her as she tried to hold herself together."Get them out of there. Now," I barked into the phone, trying to keep my voice steady even as frustration gnawed at me. The thought of her in there, helpless, brought up memories I’d tried to bury—the last time I’d seen her vulnerable, shattered. The last time I’d had the chance to be there for her, and failed.When I reached the elevator, a handful of staff member

Raj's povSaira’s silence stretched between us, a chasm filled with years of hurt and misunderstandings. Her gaze flickered, vulnerability breaking through her hardened exterior, but the walls were still there. I could see it in the way she hugged herself, as if my words alone weren’t enough to reach the parts of her I’d wounded so long ago.I took a step closer, hesitating as I searched her face. “I don’t expect you to forgive me overnight, Saira. I know I’ve given you every reason to doubt me, and I hate that. But… I don’t want to be that guy anymore.”Saira’s lips parted, as if she was about to respond, her expression caught between frustration and something gentler, something I could almost call understanding. But just as she took a breath, my phone buzzed, cutting through the fragile silence between us. Irritated, I pulled it out, hitting decline without a second thought, my eyes not leaving hers.But then it rang again, insistently. Saira’s gaze hardened, and she took a step bac

Raj’s POVAs soon as Eira's words ended, I cut the call, irritation simmering just beneath the surface. The nerve she had to waltz back into my life, throwing around old titles as if they meant anything. I wouldn’t let her unravel everything I’d been working toward.I punched in another number, my tone sharp as soon as they picked up. “I need all the data now,” I commanded, leaving no room for delay. There were things I needed to be ahead of, things I couldn't let linger in the shadows any longer. Eira wanted to resurface? Fine.

𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩 I sat at my desk from my office, trying my best to immerse myself in the task Sophia had dumped on me, but my mind was a mess. No matter how hard I tried to focus, my mind kept drifting back to the kiss—Raj’s boldness, his smirk, and those infuriating words that echoed in my head. "Don’t look at me like that, Saira. You’ll make me lose control.” The memory of his smirk made my blood boil. What was wrong with me? Why couldn’t I push it out of my mind and concentrate on work?I tapped my pen against the desk, frustrated with myself more than anything else and clenched my fists. I shook my head, attempting to clear the lingering sensation of his lips against mine and trying to push the memory aside. Just as I managed to get back to typing, my cabin door flew open with a loud bang. I looked up, startled, to see Saniya storming in like a hurricane.

The audacity of this man! As if sitting on his lap wasn’t bad enough, now he was throwing lines like that at me?

𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩 I sat at my desk, staring at the endless stack of files Sophia had dumped on me the moment I stepped into her cabin. My fingers ached from typing, my eyes burned from staring at the screen, and my patience was dangling by a thread. Sophia had assigned me more tasks in a single morning than I thought humanly possible. If that wasn’t bad enough, she kept calling me every fifteen to twenty minutes, adding small “urgent” tasks or nitpicking over the ones I had already completed.By the third call, I wanted to scream. By the fifth, I started questioning whether she had a personal vendetta against me. “Does she think I’m a machine?” I muttered under my breath, rubbing my temples. The woman was relentless, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that she was doing this on purpose.As I worked on yet another modification, my phone buzzed again. Of course, it’s her, I thought bitterly, but when I checked the screen, it wasn’t Sophia this time. It was Raj. I stared at the nam

As | approached, Kiara entered with Sanya, both laughing softly at something. Mom welcomed them warmly and insisted they sit next to her.

"My new stepsister?"I nodded, managing a polite smile in return"That's me."Her smile widened .She introduced herself, sharing that she had been overseas for the past five years, focusing on her studies and then a job. Now that she had resigned, she planned to settle back here and start her own perfume business. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and for a moment, I found myself genuinely interested in her story.

𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐚’𝐬 𝐏𝐎𝐕 The ride home was anything but comfortable. I tried my best to focus on the passing streets, the gentle hum of the car, and anything else but him. Yet, I could feel Raj's gaze on me, intense and unwavering. Every time the car stopped at a traffic light, his eyes would linger on me. I didn’t dare to look his way, but my heart betrayed me, thundering in a rhythm I couldn’t control. A tug of war raged inside me—anger and distrust battling with something I didn’t want to acknowledge. Why did he always have this effect on me? I clenched my fists, forcing myself to stay composed. As soon as the car pulled into the driveway, I didn’t wait for him to say anything. I quickly unbuckled my seatbelt and practically bolted out of the car, heading straight into the house. The moment I stepped inside, I froze. Two women were seated in the living room, laughing and chatting with my mom and stepdad. They were stunning—one with sleek, raven-black hair and sharp features, the o
