Mansi Verma, a middle-class girl with an unquenchable passion for dance, crosses paths with Teron Hernandez-a young billionaire born into one of the wealthiest families, who owns multiple businesses and brands and is one of Bollywood's most celebrat...
He's a celebrity, admired by many. But that's only one side of who he is. He wears many hats, constantly expanding his work into new ventures. His life also involves attending official and unofficial gatherings where networking is everything. At these events, you'll meet all kinds of people—the pretentious, the gossipers, the judgmental, and the ones who spend the entire night scanning the room for their next target.
Now that we're together, he's slowly trying to involve me in that side of his world too, whenever possible. Since Mateo handles a huge part of Teron's work, the two of them usually attend these gatherings together. And because Teron knows how important Sassy is to me, he always makes sure she's included too. So most of the time, it ends up being the four of us.
What I love most about him is how much he respects my individuality. He never tells me how to dress or behave. He simply lets me be myself. Still, I always find myself dressing up for him.

At 11 p.m., we arrived at a party hosted by one of his close friends. The private penthouse looked straight out of a movie — warm lights, chic lounge spaces, a separate alcohol section, hookah stations, gourmet food, and a DJ playing the perfect mix of upbeat and laid-back music. Everyone looked effortlessly fashionable, carrying themselves with a confidence that made it obvious they belonged to this world.
I was suddenly glad I'd chosen the best outfit in my wardrobe—a black bodycon dress paired with black heels. I hoped it was classy enough. I just didn't want to stand out for all the wrong reasons.
But then again... we are twinning tonight, and somehow that alone makes me feel reassured. Isn't that cute? <3

Teron and Mateo were busy talking business and looked like they'd be occupied for a while. Meanwhile, Sassy and I entertained ourselves by silently judging random people around us and trying not to laugh.
Eventually, she found a hot guy to flirt with and disappeared too, leaving me all alone.
That's when a complete stranger approached me out of nowhere. The way he was staring at me made me uncomfortable almost instantly. Before he could initiate a conversation, I excused myself and changed my spot, hoping he'd finally get the hint and leave me alone.
