ARINI RAJVANSH ~ CEO of AR Group of Industries, one of the top five most powerful and successful business empires in Asia. Arini is a beautiful soul who was once full of hope and kindness, but life’s relentless traumas hardened her heart. Despite being hurt time and again, she smiled through the pain, always carrying new hopes with her. Yet, the harsh realities and betrayals she faced eventually turned her into a guarded, heartless woman—strong, determined, but no longer willing to let anyone in. ......................................................................... AKSH SINGHANIA~ CEO of AK Corporations — the leading business empire in Asia and New York. Known as the most charming and handsome bachelor in the corporate world, Aksh is also infamous for his cold demeanor and ruthless attitude. Arrogant, calculated, and emotionally distant, he commands respect and fear in equal measure. No one outside his family has ever seen his softer side — not even a smile. Behind the flawless suits and sharp decisions lies a man who trusts no one, and lets no one in. .............................................................................. SCENE 1 ~ Aksh’s POV A loud gunshot echoed from inside the room. The guards were frantically hacking into the door’s lock system. My heart nearly stopped. I don’t understand this feeling. She doesn’t even matter to me… right? I’ve always treated her like an enemy, kept my distance, convinced myself she was nothing more than a complication. And yet, now that she’s lost—disappeared behind that locked door—the only thing I want is to see her again. Her presence. My soul was praying, begging even, that wherever she was, she was safe. With a loud click, the door finally gave in and swung open. What I saw inside shattered something deep within me. A jolt—like an electric shock—raced down my spine. ........................................................ Who is the "enemy" he's talking about? What happened to her? What did he see inside that room? All rights are reserved by me @gaeul_writes.
