Saira’s POV

I shook my head, my reflection staring back at me in the mirror. No. I couldn’t trust Raj—not after everything. The cruel boy who had tormented me in high school wasn’t someone I could ever rely on. People like him didn’t change, no matter how much they pretended.

But as I clenched my fists, determined to push him out of my thoughts, my gaze fell to my lips. Unbidden, the memory of the kiss we’d shared earlier flooded my mind. The way his lips had pressed against mine—firm yet tender, with a passion that caught me off guard—sent a shiver down my spine. My body betrayed me, reacting in a way I didn’t want it to.

"No," I whispered to myself, shaking off the sensation. Desperate to regain control, I turned on the tap and splashed cold water on my face, the icy shock breaking the spell his memory had cast over me. My heart raced, but I forced myself to breathe deeply, pushing away the unwanted warmth his touch had left behind.

    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

My fingers ached from typing, my eyes burned from staring at the screen, and my patience was dangling by a thread.

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.

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

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.

Kiara Malhotra wasn’t the kind of person who’d settle for anything less. And working with Raj? That was the cherry on top of this perfect storm.I groaned, rolling over onto my stomach and burying my face in the pillow. My peace was short-lived, though, as a knock sounded on the door.“Miss Saira,” the familiar voice of the maid called. “Dinner is ready. Everyone is waiting for you downstairs.”I sat up, the idea of sitting across from Raj instantly sapping what little appetite I had. “I’m not feeling too well,” I replied. “I’ll have dinner in my room tonight.”There was a pause before the maid responded. “Very well, Miss. I’ll bring your plate shortly.”“Thank you,” I murmured, relieved as I heard her footsteps retreating.As soon as the footsteps faded, I sat up, running a hand through my hair. The last thing I wan

Come in.”She walked in and sat on the edge of my bed, her hands smoothing the fabric of her dress. I closed the door and joined her, curious about the sudden visit.“You’ve been so busy lately,” she said, her tone affectionate. “And I’ve been caught up in a million things myself.

The moment the engine turned off, I unbuckled my seatbelt and bolted out, slamming the door shut behind me without sparing Raj a glance. I didn’t need to deal with his mood right now. My mind was already spinning with everything that had happened today. I’d thought about telling him what I heard back at the office—the cryptic threat about kidnapping—but what was the point? He’d probably just dismiss it or, worse, blame me for getting involved in things that weren’t my business.And let’s be real: he was likely already gearing up to scold me for what happened with Saniya. The memory of slapping her brought a small smirk to my lips, but it quickly vanished. If he thought I’d apologize for standing up for myself, he had another thing coming.I hurried inside, ignoring the sound of his footsteps trailing behind me. The tension between us hung in the air, but I refused to acknowledge it.I pushed open

I wrapped my arms around myself, a slight chill running through the empty corridors.I headed toward the lift that would take me to the parking area where Raj's car was waiting.As I walked, my mind was preoccupied with thoughts of the day.Just as I reached the elevator, a muffled voice reached my ears.“I will execute the second phase now, and you have to be careful while kidnapping them. You know whom to hurt.”The words froze me in my tracks. My heart thudded against my ribcage as I turned my head, trying to pinpoint where the voice was coming from.

But my gaze wasn’t really on the view; it was distant, unfocused, as my mind replayed the heated confrontation with Sophia and Saniya.The conversation weighed on me, dragging me back to memories I wished to bury. I remembered my previous job—the relentless demands, the suffocating deadlines, and my manager was a tyrant, always finding faults, taunting me for every little mistake. It felt like I could never do enough to satisfy him. The suffocating work environment had made me question everything—my abilities, my choices, even my worth.I sighed, taking a sip of my coffee, letting its warmth ground me. But before I could delve deeper into those bitter memories, a voice broke through my thoughts.“It’s hard to tackle someone like Sophia, but you
