The Veiled Hearts

🌹Vanya in THE MANSION 🔪

       
The moment Vanya  heard the male voice from behind, a cold shiver ran down her spine. Vanya's stomach churned as she froze in place. Her body went numb, every instinct screaming at her not to turn around.
       
The Training Commander (T.C) had drilled it into trainees: Bodyguards should always listen to the CEO. Reluctantly, Vanya turned as instructed, knowing the person behind her is Yash Singhania, The CEO who might be the reason behind her brother's disappearance.
       
She felt her anger surged. Fists started clenching at her sides. She turned, bracing herself. As her faces came within inches of each other, she nearly stumbled, but somehow managed to stand straight.  Vanya locked eyes with him, feeling an unexpected mix of emotions.
       
Yash’s gaze was unwavering, piercing through her. In his eyes, she saw more than just authority and power. There was a raw, unspoken pain, a simmering anger, a silent scream, and a glimpse of a scared child buried deep within. The intensity of it all caught her off guard, and for a moment, she was lost in those dark, tormented eyes.

       
Yash was looking straight into her eyes , then he stepped back a little and asked in a stern voice,"What's your name lost puppy?"(with a smirk)
       
Vanya thought,"WTF  ?? Did he just call her puppy" . But she still controlled her anger and made sure not to twitch a muscle in frustration . She was still looking straight into his eyes without blinking. Vanya knew she could hide her  identity, her gender but not the voice,that's why when she went through Vansh Singh's biological details.It was written Vansh cannot speak but he can hear which gave her a sense of relief.
       
Yash asked again,"Do you have a name or are you aiming to live a  nameless life?".
       
Vanya in her mind,"Jerk face !!but damn those eyes"
       
The training Commander says from behind Vanya,"Sir his name is Vansh Singh .He joined today along with 49 new trainees.He cannot speak.He can only hear"
       
Yash took a glance at the T.C and again he looked at Vanya.Yash's eyes were still intimidating her so she looked down .Yash looked at her ,said" We should keep our head straight in Attention position,Nice meeting you Mr. Vansh Singh", and then crossed from her right side by tapping her shoulder .
       
The Training Commander ordered Vanya to turn around and take her position. With a heavy sigh, Vanya complied, feeling as though she was back at her first encounter with Yash. In that moment, she had understood by seeing his aura that he might unravel her hidden identity and her mission to uncover the truth behind her brother's death so things are not easy as it seems.
       
Yash ascended towards a stool and sat on it.He began introducing himself. Even from ten feet away, Vanya could feel his commanding presence. As he spoke about their welcome to Singhania Enterprises, his eyes roamed the room until they landed on Vanya.
