𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩

I sat on his lap, begrudgingly reviewing the project on the screen. Despite my frustration with the situation, I couldn’t deny it—the idea was brilliant. It was the kind of concept that could make waves, and as much as I hated to admit it, Raj had outdone himself.

Without thinking, I glanced at him, unable to hide a flicker of admiration in my eyes.

He caught my gaze, and I immediately regretted it. His smirk widened, and he tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes gleaming with mischief.

“Don’t look at me like that, Saira,” he said, his voice low and teasing. “You’ll make me lose control.”

My heart skipped a beat,My cheeks flamed at his words. The audacity of this man! As if sitting on his lap wasn’t bad enough, now he was throwing lines like that at me? I squirmed, trying once again to stand, but his arm around my waist refused to budge.“Raj,” I snapped, trying to push against his chest to stand. “You’ve already gone too far. Let me go.”

He ignored my protests,

    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. She didn’t even bother to knock—just barged in, her face twisted with anger. "What the hell is your problem?” I snap

    𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩 The office was buzzing with its usual energy as I finished the last of my tasks. Papers neatly stacked, emails sent—Work for the day was done, and I grabbed the finalized report as I made my way toward Sophia’s cabin.Walking through the corridor, I felt the unmistakable weight of people’s eyes on me. A group of employees—mostly women—whispered and giggled, glancing my way as though I was the star of some juicy gossip session.My brows furrowed. What’s so interesting that they can’t take their eyes off me?Their eyes darted toward me again, their hushed voices not subtle enough to be missed.Shrugging off the nagging feeling, I focused on reaching Sophia’s cabin. But as I approached, I heard laughter echoing through the door.Sophia’s voice was unmistakable, ringing loud and clear. “She’s always acting like she’s better than everyone else. Like she’s above it all.”Another voice chimed in, equally smug and derisive. “Exactly! The audacity of some people. It’s ridi

    𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩 Saniya leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms with a smug grin. “You really think everything revolves around you, don’t you?”I tilted my head slightly, giving her a mockingly thoughtful look. “No, but it’s hard to ignore when people like you scream their insecurities loud enough for the whole building to hear.”Sophia cleared her throat, clearly uncomfortable but trying to maintain her composure. Her tone turning saccharine. “Saira, let’s not blow this out of proportion. Sometimes people talk, and well… you’ve built a bit of a reputation for being difficult to approach.”“Difficult?” I repeated with a dry laugh. “How convenient. I call it standing my ground, but I suppose that’s a foreign concept for people who thrive on pandering and backstabbing.”Sophia’s expression hardened, but she kept her voice level. “You know, Saira, relationships are everything in a workplace. Maybe if you spent less time being so... rigid, people would find you easier to work wit

The city stretched out before me, its lights twinkling like tiny stars against the dimming sky. 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

The soft hum of the fluorescent lights above was the only sound accompanying my footsteps as I made my way to the elevator. It was past work hours, and the building was nearly deserted. 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. The office was supposed to be empty, so who could possibly be here, saying something so sinister?I glanced around, my curiosity getting the better of me

    𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗮'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩The car came to a halt in front of the house, and I wasted no time. 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

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.

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

Sitting up in bed, she let out a soft sigh, her mind still caught on Raj’s cryptic behavior and that unnerving hug in the garden.After a moment of stillness, she swung her legs over the side of the bed and stretched. “Focus, Saira,” she muttered to herself, pushing those thoughts aside. She made her way to the bathroom, where the cool water against her skin worked wonders to revive her senses.After brushing her teeth and showering, she carefully picked out her formal outfit for the day—an elegant black blazer over a pastel blue blouse, paired with tailored trousers.
