Vivian approached me, his steps deliberate and heavy, and said in a cold, dark tone, "Are you planning to put on this drama in front of the whole world too?"
Confused and a bit startled, I asked, "What drama?"

Walking through the lobby, I glanced at the watch on my wrist. It was eight o'clock at night, and once again, I was late. Thank God no one had scolded me today. How could they? No one dared to go against my so-called husband, not even me.
Earlier today, Navya had told me about a job opportunity at a hotel. She had spoken to the managers, and I could start working there from tomorrow. The biggest problem, however, was the timing, and for that, I needed permission from the psycho.
As I made my way to my room through the lobby, I spotted Vivian sitting in the lawn, discussing something with Raj and Rahul. He was dressed in a white shirt and black pants, with the top three buttons of his shirt undone. I couldn't take my eyes off him; I was staring wide-eyed, mesmerized by the aura of danger and command he exuded.

His presence was magnetic, a blend of dark allure and raw power. His blue eyes, like the ocean, were deep and inviting, yet at the same time, held a darkness that was impossible to ignore.

Startled, I turned around to see Vedant standing there. Straightening up, I said, "Vedant, you scared me! Who does that?"
Laughing, Vedant replied, "Who else but me?"
I responded, "Yeah, I know, no one else in this house would pull such a stunt, Vedant."
Vedant asked, "So, why were you tilting your head like that? They'll look upside down if you do that."
I said, "I wasn't staring at him out of interest, okay?"
Vedant quipped, "Then you must have been looking at Raj and Rahul?"
Slightly shouting, I retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! Why would I be looking at them?"
