In the heart of Mumbai's Vibrant chaous, Rhishav Shekhawat, 30-year-old CEO, strode in his Skyscraper office,a fortess build on ambition.
''Another deal, another victory,'' he muttered to himself,masking the emptiness dawing at his insides.

The morning light, sharp and unforgiving, carved long, sterile shadows across the floor-to-ceiling windows of Shekhawat Tech Headquarters. It was the kind of light that, in a different setting, might have promised warmth or a new beginning. Here, in this glass-and-steel fortress, it only served to highlight the cold precision of the man seated behind the vast mahogany desk.
Rishav Shekhawat, CEO, billionaire, and a name that carried the weight of a silent command, watched the rapid flicker of a digital stock ticker across his monitor. The numbers danced, volatile and demanding, yet his face remained a study in stillness – calm, unreadable, almost inhuman in its flawless composition. He was a master of the mask, a living embodiment of the impenetrable.

His long, elegant fingers tapped a soft, rhythmic beat against the polished wood. One, two, three. The sound was steady, controlled, a silent pulse that mirrored the tightly reined power simmering beneath his bespoke suit. To the world, he was the perfect archetype of ambition: self-made, ruthless, an unstoppable force in the corporate jungle. But Rishav knew the truth. The gleaming facade of Shekhawat Tech was merely a front, a legitimate throne masking an empire built in the shadows, where different rules applied and control was absolute.
A soft, almost hesitant knock fractured the silent precision of the room.
"Come in," his voice was a low rumble, smooth as aged whiskey, yet carrying the unmistakable weight of command.
Kabir, his personal assistant, stepped inside. His movements were efficient, his dark suit perfectly tailored, but there was a subtle tension in his shoulders, a quiet caution in his eyes that always surfaced when he was in Rishav's presence. People didn't fear Rishav's anger; they feared his quiet, analytical calm – the calculating mind behind eyes that saw everything but revealed nothing.
"Mr. Shekhawat, the board meeting is in ten minutes," Kabir stated, his voice professional, tight.
Rishav gave a short, almost imperceptible nod. "I'll be there."
Kabir lingered for a beat, a question unasked hanging in the air, before he turned and the door clicked shut with a soft finality. Rishav leaned back in his chair, the leather sighing faintly beneath him. The board meeting. Another performance, another charade of legitimacy. The real work, his true empire, only began when the city succumbed to the night, when the light faded and the shadows lengthened.
The boardroom was a monument to corporate pride: walls adorned with framed milestones, awards glinting under warm recessed lighting, a colossal mahogany table polished to a mirror shine. The air, thick with the scent of ambition and expensive coffee, hummed with hushed conversations.
