Her Notorious CEO New Friend
She returned home from cafe and went straight to the kitchen. After grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge, she headed to her room. Turning on the TV, she settled onto the couch, remote in hand.As she took a sip from her newly opened bottle, a news segment captured her attention. “Our channel brings you the latest updates. Daniel Bruno, son of the renowned politician, has returned to country today after completing his education. Our representatives are live at the airport.”Hearing his name sent a chill down her spine. The water bottle slipped from her grasp, splattering its contents across the floor, drenching her clothes and the remote.“Ahhhhh!” she screamed, the panic welling up inside her. It had been six months since that fateful day, and her life had gradually returned to a semblance of normalcy. But now, with the announcement of his return, all the painful memories surged back to the forefront of her mind.That savage beast had destroyed her life. How could he return peac
Her Notorious CEO He is back
"Mam, you have been called to the principal's office." She was delivering the lecture when she got this message."Okay," she replied, but an unease settled in her stomach. What could this be about? She tucked her pen away, her mind racing with possibilities as she made her way to the principal's office, each step heavier than the last.Standing before the imposing white door, she hesitated, her hand hovering over the doorknob. What could possibly await her inside? Taking a deep breath, she knocked softly."Come in," a soft voice beckoned from within.Pushing the door open, she stepped inside, feeling the chill of the air-conditioned room wrap around her like a shroud. The door clicked shut behind her, and she turned instinctively, startled. Who closed the door? A shiver crept down her spine.Before her was the principal's desk, but the chair was turned away, obscuring its occupant. Her heart raced as she steadied herself. "Sir, you called me?" she managed, her voice trembling slightly
Her Notorious CEO Stay Away
When she regained consciousness, the sterile scent of antiseptic filled her nostrils. Blinking against the harsh light overhead, she realized she was in a hospital room. Her aunt, sat nearby, murmuring prayers as her fingers moved rhythmically over a string of Tasbih beads."Auntie..." Her voice came out as a croak, weak and unsure. Her aunt’s head shot up, relief flooding her face.“Thank God you’re awake! How are you feeling, my dear?” She leaned closer, her concern palpable. But the panic struck again, surging through her chest like a tidal wave.“Where is he?” she whispered, her voice trembling.“Who, dear? What are you talking about?” Aunt’s brows furrowed as she studied her niece’s frightened expression.“That beast... Daniel,” she blurted out, her hands clutching the blanket. “He was here! I saw him!” Her aunt’s expression softened, confusion mixing with concern.“No, dear, you must have imagined it. He is nowhere near here. You fainted at college; your colleague found you unco
Her Notorious CEO Bad intentions
Tasha's life had become a constant cycle of fear and uncertainty. Ever since that day, when her world had turned upside down with accusations she could hardly defend herself against, she had retreated into a shell. The warmth she once felt seemed like a distant memory. And though time moved on, it didn't ease her fears—it only blurred them, like shadows stretching longer in the fading light.Her aunt had always tried to make life seem brighter. Today, she was positively glowing with excitement. Her husband, Mr. James, was finally returning after ten long years. She headed eagerly to the Venice airport to welcome him back, the joy evident in her every word.When Uncle James arrived, Tasha greeted him respectfully. "How are you, Uncle." He waved his hand dismissively, a teasing smile playing on his lips."Uncle? Come on, I’m not that old. Think of me as a friend. Isn’t that what young people say these days?” But when he reached out, placing his hand on her shoulder, she froze. The gestu
Her Notorious CEO Marry me, Tasha
Tasha was busy baking bread, her mind lost in the repetitive motions. Her hands moved automatically, a temporary escape from the anxiety that clouded her days. Suddenly, she heard a voice behind her, making her jump."Hey, you got scared. I just came to check if the bread's done," Uncle James said, his smile holding a predatory edge. His eyes lingered on her with a familiarity she despised. Tasha's pulse quickened."It's not done yet. You should go sit outside. I'll bring it to you." She tried to keep her voice steady, but fear laced her tone. Carl’s words echoed in her mind, urging her to be brave, to stand up for herself. Uncle James ignored her, stepping closer. "Hey, the bread’s burning," he said, seizing her wrist. His grip was too tight, his intentions all too clear."Leave my hand!" Tasha yanked her hand back, her voice rising.She picked up the hot tongs, her grip firm despite the fear that churned in her stomach. With a surge of anger, she swung them at him. The tongs seared
Her Notorious CEO Threat
The café stood silent in the dead of night, a refuge from the chaos of the outside world. She returned, her heart heavy with sorrow, only to find the door unlocked. Pushing it open, she stepped inside, greeted by an emptiness that mirrored her own. She needed solitude, a moment to gather her thoughts and process the turmoil churning within her.As she leaned against the wall, grief washed over her like a tidal wave. How could she have turned her back on love? The very hands that had once embraced him now felt like shackles, binding her to the pain of rejection. The weight of Daniel's cruelty pressed down on her, a constant reminder of the loss of her favorite person, taken away forever by his brutality.A fire ignited within her—an anger that had been simmering just beneath the surface. For the first time, the thought of Daniel didn't fill her with fear; instead, it fueled a burning desire for revenge. She wanted him to feel the same anguish she endured, to suffer as she did. The idea
Her Notorious CEO A new start
Tasha had made the café her new home, finding comfort in its familiar surroundings. Her aunt had taken care of everything, stocking the storeroom with all the necessities Tasha would need. Despite the sadness that lingered in her heart, she tried to keep herself busy, throwing herself into her work as she washed dishes and cleaned tables.One afternoon, after scrubbing the last plate, Tasha wiped her hands on a towel and reached into her pocket for her phone. Her eyes lit up when she saw a new email notification.It was from the architectural department she had applied. Tasha opened the email with trembling hands and read the message eagerly. They had liked her CV and were impressed enough to offer her a position as the S.O. Manager. Along with the job came a generous salary, an apartment in Venice, and even a driver!As she read the email, Tasha's heart soared.When she rushed to share the news with her aunt, tears of happiness filled her aunt’s eyes. “Oh, Tasha! This is wonderful!”
Her Notorious CEO Who is he?
“Not this time,” he growled, his eyes burning with a fierce desire for revenge. “What did you think? You could kill me and walk away in peace? Today, the tables have turned. Your soul will tremble before mine.” He gripped her delicate arm tightly, his fingers digging in as if he were afraid she might slip away. With his other hand, he seized her dupatta, yanking it off her head and throwing it aside as if it were nothing.In a flash, he pushed her fragile body to the floor, climbing on top of her. Panic washed over her. “Someone save me! Please! Help!” she cried, her voice shaking with fear. She couldn’t believe this was happening again. After Daniel’s betrayal, now she was facing her uncle’s brutality. The helplessness was overwhelming, igniting a flame of rage within her.“Shut up! Just be quiet for a moment!” he barked, his temper boiling over. Without warning, he slapped her hard across the face, but the pain did little to silence her. Instead, she gritted her teeth and bit down o

Her Notorious CEO Morning rush
Tasha scrambled to get ready for university, her morning running later than usual. She chose a stylish blue top paired with crisp white capris, draping a blue dupatta loosely over her shoulders. Her glossy pink lips highlighted her natural beauty, though her expression betrayed annoyance. She hastily grabbed her bag and stepped out, her phone ringing unexpectedly as she reached the lounge.The sight of the flashing number on her phone screen startled her. Without answering the call, she paused mid-step, a flicker of panic crossing her face. Before she could act, Daniel appeared, his gaze locking onto her with unmissable intensity.In her blue ensemble, Tasha looked radiant. The rich hue of the outfit contrasted strikingly against her fair complexion, while the gloss on her lips added a soft allure. Daniel’s eyes darkened with admiration. His possessive nature made it difficult for him to let her step outside, knowing that her beauty could turn heads. But for Tasha’s happiness, he curb
Her Notorious CEO You are mine too
When Daniel came out, Safdar was sitting in the car waiting for him. "What did you think of the people who came over for dinner today?" Daniel asked as he got into the car. Safdar smiled as he buckled his seatbelt and started the car. "He made time because before marriage, he was always busy, and no one could meet him. Now, after marriage, he’s more available, so his friends decided to take advantage of that." Daniel chuckled. "Well, it’s the opposite for you. Most people ignore their friends after marriage, but you’ve been visiting everyone. It’s good to see you and your wife getting along so well." Safdar glanced at Daniel. "Don’t rub it in." Daniel leaned back with a deep sigh. At that moment, Safdar’s phone started ringing. He glanced at the screen, surprised. "Is your phone off?" he asked Daniel. "No, why?" Daniel replied, looking curious. "Your wife is calling me," Safdar said, showing him Tasha’s name on the screen. "Put it on speaker," Daniel said. Safdar an
Her Notorious CEO Where are you going?
Tasha was lounging in the living room, watching TV, when a familiar scent wafted through the air. "The smell of Mr. Bruno's cologne," she murmured to herself. She closed her eyes, a soft smile spreading across her face as she inhaled deeply. Glancing toward Daniel Bruno’s room, she saw him step out, dressed impeccably in gray jeans, a white shirt, and a matching casual gray coat. His neatly styled, gelled hair complemented his effortlessly charming demeanor as he walked toward her. Tasha couldn’t take her eyes off him. A sense of excitement bubbled within her as she admired him, but as he neared, she quickly looked back at the TV, trying to feign indifference. Despite her best efforts, her attention remained firmly on him. Daniel noticed her but ignored her gaze, a faint smile tugging at his lips, and walked past the lounge, heading toward the door. Just as he was about to leave, Tasha’s voice stopped him in his tracks. “Where are you going at this hour?” She rose from the
Her Notorious CEO Tease him
He was in the middle of an important meeting when his phone rang. "Excuse me," he muttered to the room, standing up and stepping outside the meeting to take the call. "Speak..." he answered, his voice calm but still focused. "Send greetings to me first. Then I’ll say something," came the request from the other end, her tone slightly tinged with a quiet plea. It was a request she had made for two days now, and yet each time he answered the phone, he would immediately say, “Bolo” (Speak). It was as if he hadn't yet learned the simple courtesy of greeting. "Good Morning," he quickly said, fulfilling her demand. "Good Morning... and bring food. Tell me if you want anything else," he continued, making the request casually but with a hint of amusement in his voice. Tasha smiled as she listened, her tone lightening. "Come quickly, I’m starving. And bring something sweet—my mouth is so bitter right now," she asked in a sugary voice, almost coaxing him to hurry. Daniel chuckled
Her Notorious CEO Say sorry to her
Tasha snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a voice asking, "What's going on here?" She saw Daniel walking toward her with his usual confident attitude.As soon as Daniel entered, he smelled the roses and noticed the bouquet in Tasha's hands."Daniel, sir, look... Anna came to apologize to Miss Tasha even though her leg is hurt. But Miss Tasha isn’t accepting the apology," Anna’s manager said quickly, complaining that Tasha was being cold toward Anna despite her pain."Manager, why are you making me the bad guy here?" Tasha smiled and said, clearly annoyed. The manager was caught off guard by her words."What??" The manager asked, surprised, as if he couldn't believe his ears."You're supposed to take care of Anna, not drag her around when she's in pain. Do you think carrying her around won’t make her leg worse?" Tasha said sternly, and the manager was speechless."And Anna, why are you apologizing for Noor? She’s not a child, and you’re not her mother. Stop acting innocent. Firs
Her Notorious CEO She is childish
Daniel was deeply absorbed in his work at the office, the hum of the environment around him barely registering. He was methodical, focused on the tasks at hand. But suddenly, his phone buzzed, snapping him from his concentration. The name on the screen flashed in bold letters: PB. He knew exactly who it was. His fingers hovered for a brief moment over the phone, almost as if weighing the decision. Then, with a nonchalant sigh, he answered the call with the opposite hand and raised the phone to his ear. "Speak..." The voice that answered him on the other side was soft and sweet, and instantly, it seemed to carry him away from the sterile office air to a place much warmer. "Send greetings to me first. Then I’ll say something," the voice teased, its playful tone causing him to pause. A surge of old memories hit him like a wave, and for a fleeting moment, he was somewhere else—somewhere distant yet familiar. He had heard that voice countless times, in moments both trivial and profoun
Her Notorious CEO Treatment

Tasha, noticing how handsome he was, blushed and quickly walked past him, but Daniel didn’t even look up.“How’s your health now?” Daniel asked, standing in front of her, studying her closely.“I’m okay,” Tasha replied with a smile, and Daniel seemed to soften a little.“Tasha seems to be in a good mood today,” he commented.“Hmm. You told me to make a request, right? I’ve thought about what I want,” Tasha said, smiling sweetly.“You have something up your sleeve, don’t you?” Daniel grinned, sitting down next to her confidently.“Did you say something?” Tasha asked, sitting up straight, not hearing him at first.“This is my chance,” Daniel said with a smart smile.Tasha couldn’t help but smile at him. She was in a better mood today, almost like a blooming flower. As she looked at his handsome face, she noticed beads of sweat forming on her skin.“Should I tell you my request?” Tasha asked shyly.“Hmmm
Her Notorious CEO I don't want divorce
The atmosphere was thick with uncertainty and unresolved emotions as Tasha spoke to Bisma, trying to mask her true feelings with humor and bravado. Despite her tough exterior, the vulnerability in her eyes and the way her hands trembled revealed the truth—she was still deeply affected by the events that had unfolded.Bisma, noticing the subtle change in Tasha's demeanor, couldn't help but worry. "But Tasha, you were ready to get a divorce before. Why have you changed your mind?"Tasha smiled faintly, but there was a hint of something deeper, something more profound behind her words. "I don't know. Things have changed... and I’m not sure if I’m ready to give up yet. There’s a lot I still need to figure out."She shifted her position, trying to avoid confronting the discomfort in her chest. The mention of her marriage made her feel like she was walking on a tightrope—between what she wanted and what was expected of her. Her emotions were complicated; Daniel’s unpredictable kindness and
