She would nag me weekly with questions like, \u2018Are you taking care of yourself?\u2019 Besides being my godmother, she was also my neighbour. She lived in the building next to mine, in a penthouse apartment. She had just fired her PR manager and now wanted to hire us. I knew she would be a perfect client for Meera. No one would harass her, and Veena Aunty would be there to guide her. \u201cPlease sit. What will you have?\u201d \u201cMy usual.\u201d Once she sat down, I walked to the bar in the corner, poured her a glass of single-malt whisky, and placed it in front of her.<\/p>\n

After a brief catch-up, I told her about Meera, and her eyes lit up with excitement. \u201cYou are speaking highly of this girl. Is there something going on?\u201d Her words snapped me back to reality as I realised, I had been singing praises of Meera for the past fifteen minutes. \u201cNo. Nothing like that.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s just that since you came back from Nainital, your dating life hasn\u2019t been very exciting. If you are interested in her, give it a shot.<\/p>\n

And if you want me to play Cupid, I\u2019ll.\u201d Ah, Aunty, if only you knew that my dating life had been pathetic because of this girl. I was still not over her. I couldn\u2019t stop thinking about her; it was like a trap. \u201cAunty, please. There\u2019s nothing like that. So don\u2019t embarrass her.\u201d \u201cOh, I see.\u201d Her eyes glinted with mischief, and I groaned. \u201cIf you are going to act difficult, I\u2019ll hand you over to another agent.\u201d She shook her head, and her perfectly coiffed bob bounced like a child on a trampoline.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. I want Meera. Call her. I\u2019d like to meet her before I go.\u201d It had been a week since I last saw her. But the mere prospect of seeing her after seven long days made me lightheaded. A rush of warmth surged through my body like a sunny day in December. I asked Joy to call Meera and settled back with a soft smile on my lips.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you speak to Dhruv?\u201d I enquired. Dhruv was Veena Auntie\u2019s only son from her first marriage. He loved globetrotting and worked for National Geographic. \u201cYes, he\u2019s currently on Juju Island, interviewing locals. But enough about Dhruv.<\/p>\n

Now he\u2019s my deepest regret. Prithvi Vadhva is everything a man like him is supposed to be. Ruthless mind. Impeccable control. A heart made of steel. Years ago, we were reckless and naive, in love before we understood how cruel the world could be. Loving him cost me everything. Now, years later, fate drags him back into my life. As my boss. Powerful. Untouchable. He hasn\u2019t forgotten me. He hasn\u2019t forgiven me. And he still has a way of stealing my breath every time he looks at me.<\/p>\n

I know I shouldn\u2019t want him. Still, every rule feels meaningless. But when enemies emerge from the shadows and secrets threaten his empire and our lives, I\u2019m forced into a role I never planned to play. His fake fianc\u00e9e. Every glance feels like a confession. Every touch feels like a betrayal, because pretending is far more dangerous when the feelings are real. I thought loving him once was my undoing.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t realise loving him again might cost us everything. 1kitap1.com\/en Chapter 1 Meera I stormed through the lobby\u2019s huge, spotless glass doors. The hands of the watch on my wrist raced as if they were competing in a sprint. My morning felt like a blessing from Satan. From the water faucet breaking in the middle of my shower to the coffee I accidentally spilt on my blue shirt, just five minutes before leaving my cosy studio apartment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
