Daniel Bruno had spent the entire night staring at her. Not long after, Safdar Bruno entered the office, knocking on the door. He was surprised to find Daniel Bruno asleep, slumped in his office chair. Even more shocking was that Daniel was still wearing the same wrinkled clothes from the day before. It was unlike him—Daniel always paid attention to his appearance and would never show up to work so disheveled.

"Daniel..." Safdar gently shook his shoulder. Daniel opened his eyes, bloodshot from lack of sleep, and ran his hand through his hair as he straightened up.

"It’s fine. He must’ve slept here after coming in so early. Your office hours don’t usually start until later," Safdar said casually as he took a seat in front of Daniel, trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah, last night... I don’t even know when I dozed off," Daniel replied, rubbing his beard with a weary hand.

"What do you mean? You were here all night? Are you okay?" Safdar asked, concern etched on his face.

    Tasha sat outside on the lawn, wrapped in a shawl, looking sad as she rested on a cane chair. When Carl entered, her face lit up with joy. She immediately stood up, rushed to him, hugged him tightly, and began crying into his chest. “Tasha, what happened? Why are you crying? Did Daniel Bruno say something to you? Did he raise his hand against you?” Carl asked, his forehead creased in concern. Tasha didn’t answer. She just kept sobbing, soaking his chest with her tears. “Tell me, Tasha, what happened? Did Daniel Bruno do something?” Carl asked again, his tone colder as he gently pulled her away to look at her face. “No, Mr. Bruno didn’t do anything,” she replied, wiping her tears with trembling hands. “My heart just feels so heavy, Carl. I miss you all so much.” Her voice was soft, her smile sad. “Are you sure, Tasha? You’re not hiding anything, right? Did Daniel Bruno really not say or do anything to you?” Carl pressed, still unconvinced. “I told you, he didn’t do anything. You’

    Daniel Bruno hadn’t been home since the previous night, and now, even at midnight, there was no sign of him. Tasha’s patience had run out; she’d spent the whole day worried and restless. She hated that Daniel stayed out all night. Frustrated, she dialed his number, but it was unreachable.Her thoughts spiraled in anger. "They were furious at me just for wearing a dress without a dupatta and shaking hands with a man. If I stayed out all night without telling them, they’d probably kill me!" Tasha paced back and forth, her emotions boiling over."If Mr. Bruno found out about my festival performance, he’d be furious. Who knows? He might even set me on fire." Tasha’s anxiety deepened as she redialed Daniel’s number, but his phone was still off. A sinking feeling hit her—was he with Ashil? The thought made her heart drop.Tasha sat on the sofa, shaking her leg nervously as she waited for Daniel. To distract herself, she grabbed the TV remote and turned it on, trying to act indifferent as if

    Tasha stepped out of the washroom, wrapped in a white bathrobe, her damp hair falling over her shoulders. She stood before the dressing table, drying her hair with a hairdryer. Moments later, Daniel Bruno emerged from the washroom, wearing only black trousers. He smiled at her, his gaze warm, and walked over. Without a word, he slipped his arms around her from behind, brushing her hair to the side and placing a kiss on her neck.“Mr. Bruno, what are you doing? Haven’t you had enough?” Tasha asked, irritated, trying to wriggle free from his embrace. Daniel tightened his hold, pulling her closer against his chest. Catching her reflection in the mirror, he studied her face with a mischievous smile. “You were the one curious about how I spent last night without you,” he teased, leaning closer to her lips. Tasha quickly placed a hand on his mouth. “No, no, Mr. Bruno. You’ve already made it very clear how much you missed me. That’s enough now,” she said nervously, attempting to step away.

    He was sitting in the study after dinner when Tasha entered, carrying a glass of milk.“Milk,” she said with a soft smile, placing it in front of him."Are you really trying to win my heart? Morning breakfast, then lunch, dinner, and now milk," he commented, his tone half-teasing but distracted as he worked tirelessly since morning."A lot," she replied with a playful smile, her expression confirming her intentions openly.For a moment, his gaze softened as if looking at her, but then his expression shifted. Tasha felt unsettled. He wasn’t looking at her—he seemed to be searching for someone else.This wasn’t the first time she felt this way. It couldn’t just be her imagination. His first love, Tahreem, lacked the qualities she sensed in his gaze. Then who could he be thinking of?"Can I ask you something?" His tone suddenly turned serious, pulling her out of her thoughts."Yes," she nodded slightly, giving him permission."Have you ever loved anyone other than Tahreem?" she asked, he

    At that moment, Daniel Bruno's car raced along winding roads carved through high green mountains. On one side of the road, towering mountains stood guard, while on the other, deep, dark ditches loomed ominously. Daniel's face was flushed red with anger. Rais Bruno had crossed the line this time, attacking him relentlessly despite knowing Tasha was with him. Fueled by fury, Daniel pressed the accelerator hard as his guards returned fire at Rais Bruno's men chasing them. The sharp cracks of gunfire echoed through the night, heightening the tension.Tasha, sitting beside him, watched Daniel with wide, fearful eyes, her complexion pale from the chaos. The car sped forward as the guards fought back, their retaliation forcing the enemy's fire to subside slightly. Daniel stole a glance at Tasha, her frightened state only intensifying his rage."Rais Bruno," Daniel seethed under his breath, his grip on the steering wheel tightening, "you've gone too far this time. I won't let this slide."As

    "You? What's going on?" she asked, startled as she came into the lounge. She was sitting on the couch, holding her head when she suddenly felt someone grab her hand firmly.It was a handsome young man who pulled her to another room. Once inside, he pushed her in and locked the door behind him. She stumbled onto the bed and turned around, seeing him standing by the door, locking it."What are you doing?" she asked, alarmed as he moved closer to her."Don’t act clueless," he said with a sarcastic tone, grinding his teeth. "Why did you bring me here like this?" she shouted, trying to sound brave, though fear crept into her voice.He stepped closer, his intense gaze fixed on her. As she backed away, he followed, step for step, until her back hit the closet. Trapped, she felt a rush of panic but forced herself to appear strong."You know," he said darkly, "when love and hate collide, things get... interesting."She was horrified, her voice trembling as she tried to push him away.

    "You’re a beast, Daniel," Tasha spat, her voice trembling with anger.Daniel lay comfortably on the bed, the faintest hint of a smirk on his face, though his eyes betrayed the lingering sadness within. The tears streaming from Tasha’s eyes didn’t go unnoticed, but he didn’t react to them directly."Exactly," he said, his tone cold yet laced with an undercurrent of vulnerability. "I am a beast. And from today onward, you’ll have to live with this beast."Before she could fully process his words, Daniel grabbed her wrist with swift precision, pulling her forward. The sudden movement sent her tumbling onto his chest. Her hands instinctively pressed against him to push herself up, but before she could escape, his fingers tangled in her hair, gently but firmly. His thumb brushed her flushed cheek, leaving a trail of warmth that she wished she could wipe away.Tasha froze for a moment, her breath catching in her throat. This close, she could see the flicker of something unspoken in his eyes

    “Come with me. There’s a lot of noise near the ladies’ area inside. You’ll need to wait outside.”Daniel and Eva were engrossed in their phones, seated on the plush chairs of the hotel lobby. The air carried a faint aroma of fresh flowers and coffee, blending with the hum of soft classical music. Tasha approached Daniel, her steps measured, her face neutral. As she neared him, she bent down slightly, her lips almost grazing his ear, and whispered softly.Eva, sitting a few feet away, noticed but couldn’t hear. What was Tasha discussing so secretly? A flicker of unease crossed her mind, but she brushed it aside. A sense of relief replaced her initial curiosity—at least her parents weren’t arguing anymore.“Eva, stay here,” Daniel instructed firmly. His voice was calm yet authoritative, the kind of tone that left no room for negotiation. “Khan Baba is coming soon. I’m going with your mom, okay?”Even though Tasha didn’t consider Nauman her husband in her heart, her actions told a differ

    “Tasha, open your eyes.” The lights above flickered as the hum of machines filled the room. Daniel sat at her side, his hand gripping hers with a desperation that made his fingers ache. Tasha’s once-vibrant face was now pale, her breath shallow, a thin sheen of sweat clinging to her forehead. The blood that had poured from the wound in her side had soaked through the hospital sheets, staining them a dark red. Her body was fragile, lifeless, and as still as the silence in the room.His heart was breaking in ways he never thought possible, each beat a painful reminder that the woman he loved was slipping away from him, and he could do nothing to stop it. His eyes were swollen from tears, his face streaked with them.His grip tightened around her hand, as if he could hold on to the last fragments of her life with sheer will alone. But even as he held her, even as he whispered her name over and over, it felt like the world was slowly fading to black."Tasha, please… please, wake up. I’m

    The opening of the mall had arrived, and excitement filled the air. Daniel, standing near a jewelry stall, was busy directing his workers, making sure everything was perfect for the big day. The mall was filled with people, buzzing with energy, and yet, Daniel's mind seemed distracted.A flicker of movement caught his eye in the mirror before him. A boy stood behind a pillar, but Daniel thought nothing of it at first. After all, it was such a crowded day, and people were everywhere.But when Tasha entered the makeup shop a little later, Daniel's mind was drawn back to the strange sensation that someone was watching her. She was absorbed in picking out lipstick shades, inspecting them carefully in the mirror, when suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. In the reflection, she saw the boy from earlier – Carl – standing just behind her.She spun around quickly, her breath caught in her throat, but no one was there. It must have been a trick of the light, she thought, dismissing the unease cr

  • Her Notorious CEO   She was his queen

    For the grand opening of the mall, Daniel had decided not to invite any actors, actresses, or high-profile political figures as special guests. Instead, he wanted the moment to be about one person—his wife.Tasha’s car pulled up outside the mall, and without hesitation, Daniel stepped forward to open the door for her, right in front of the waiting media. His smile was warm and inviting as he extended his hand to her."Come on," he said, his voice full of affection. Tasha, her heart racing, placed her hand in his, stepping out of the car gently. She was standing in front of the media for the very first time, and it made her feel a bit anxious. But before she could get too nervous, Daniel wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him. The simple act of his touch helped to calm her nerves, making her feel more at ease."Here, take the scissors," he said, holding them out to her. Tasha, still in a bit of a daze, had assumed he was joking, but seeing the serious expression o

  • Her Notorious CEO   A night to remember

    That evening, after a long and grueling day, Tasha returned home to find Daniel waiting for her in the living room. The apartment was dimly lit, the soft golden hue of the table lamps casting a warm glow. The aroma of fresh coffee lingered in the air. She closed the door behind her with a tired sigh, and there he was—Daniel—lounging on the couch with an easy, mischievous smile on his face.“How was your first day as boss?” he asked, setting his laptop aside with a deliberate slowness, as if he were savoring the moment of her arrival.“Exhausting,” Tasha admitted, kicking off her heels with a grateful grunt and collapsing beside him on the couch. Her shoulders were tense, her muscles aching from a day filled with meetings, decisions, and memories she had been trying to bury for years.Daniel’s arm was around her in an instant, pulling her closer to him. His touch was grounding, like a lifeline. “And yet, you survived. That’s my girl,” he said, his voice full of pride.She smiled weakly

    They had been working together for a week, but it seemed unlikely that this girl had even seen him once. He was lying beside his new bride, lost in thought, remembering Tasha. The image of her beautiful yet simple face, full of confidence, kept playing in his mind. A wave of deep regret swept over him. He wished he had appreciated her more, that he had valued her in the way she deserved. Maybe, if he had, she would still be with him now.Tears welled up in his eyes, and he quickly sat up, rubbing his eyes roughly, trying to push the painful thoughts away. His heart was breaking. The girl he had once known, the girl he had lost, was now married to someone else. She was no longer his, and it was all because of his own foolishness and insecurities."How's everything going?" She asked softly, her voice gentle as she styled her hair. She leaned her chin on his shoulder, wrapping her delicate arms around him, showing concern. He could feel her care for him, yet his thoughts were elsewhere.

    Shehryar paced back and forth in his office, his brow furrowed with frustration. The weight of the company’s recent losses pressed heavily on him, and his temper simmered. His brother, Carl, sat across from him, visibly worn from the arguments they’d been having for weeks.“Has our time come?” Shehryar snapped, slamming his fist onto the desk. “Now we’ll work like employees in our own office under a girl?”Carl adjusted his glasses and sighed deeply, his patience thinning. “We’re not employees, Shehryar. We’re still partners.”“Partners?” Shehryar barked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Don’t joke with me, Carl. She owns 70 percent of the shares, and we only have 30 between us. That means she calls the shots in everything from now on!” He slammed the back of his chair in frustration, his anger palpable.Carl leaned forward, rubbing his temples. “Instead of yelling, maybe we should hope she’s competent enough to save what’s left of this sinking ship. We’ve got nothing left but this c

    “Would you help me with something?” Daniel asked, holding a stack of papers in his hand. He extended them toward Tasha with a warm, encouraging smile.“Help? With what exactly?” she asked curiously, raising her eyebrows as she took the papers from him.“Well…” He leaned back casually, his tone light but deliberate. “I bought seventy percent of the shares of a failing company.”“What?” Her voice shot up in surprise, her brows furrowing in confusion. “Why would someone as smart as you invest in a company that’s going under?”“Because I thought I could turn it around,” he replied with a shrug. “But life has a way of throwing curveballs, and I’ve been too busy to focus on it. So, here’s the deal: I’m handing it over to you. You’ll be managing it from tomorrow.”Tasha’s jaw dropped. “Me? Are you serious? I don’t know the first thing about running a company!”Daniel raised an eyebrow, a sly smirk forming on his lips. “Why not? Did you get your degree just to decorate the house?”“That’s not

    Tasha lay in bed, her eyes heavy but stubbornly refusing to close. Beside her, Daniel was peacefully asleep, his chest rising and falling with each steady breath. Yet, even in his sleep, he seemed restless, as if the memory of something unresolved lingered in his subconscious. A soft whisper escaped his lips, almost an apology directed at himself.Tasha couldn’t help but study his face, her gaze tracing every line and curve. “How beautiful he is,” she thought, a soft smile playing on her lips. Daniel was her prince, flawed yet captivating, and even in the darkness of the room, he exuded a warmth that drew her closer.She leaned in, her nose brushing lightly against his, and closed her eyes. The heat of his breath fanned her cheeks, and for a moment, the world stilled. “This,” she whispered to herself, “this is the most beautiful moment.”Daniel stirred slightly but remained asleep. Tasha chuckled softly, a memory tugging at her heart. “I remember,” she began, speaking to him though sh

    "Let’s have breakfast quickly. You must be starving,” Daniel said, his voice steady but carrying a hint of concern. He watched Tasha closely, as though gauging her mood.Tasha raised her eyebrows, her lips curling into a wry smile. “I must be? How do you know?” she asked, her tone teasing yet laced with curiosity.Daniel hesitated for a moment, his confusion evident. “What do you mean?”“That I’m hungry,” she replied softly, leaning back slightly, her eyes never leaving his.Daniel smirked, though his gaze turned serious. “How could you think for a second that I’d have breakfast without you? Especially today, after you called me yourself. Do you know what that means to me?” His voice dropped, becoming almost a whisper.Tasha blinked, slightly caught off guard. Daniel wasn’t the type to show his emotions so openly. But when he referred to her as his “E” – the affectionate nickname only he used – her heart skipped a beat.
