Hello lovelies.......

Here you go ....

Abhiraj's pov
It’s been a month since Anu and I made things official, but it feels like she’s been a part of me forever. It’s strange how seamlessly she’s fit into my life. I’ve always been so focused—on work, on the business, on keeping everything in order. But now, with her, there’s this... balance, a sense of fulfillment that I never thought I needed, let alone could have . After that incident.
When I think back to when I was with Samaira, it’s almost like comparing two different worlds. Samaira was part of my life once, sure, but it was never like this. Our relationship felt more like a transaction—structured, cold at times. I tried to convince myself that’s what I needed back then: a partner who fit into my world but didn’t disrupt it. But with Anu, everything is different.
She disrupts everything—and I love it.
It’s in the way she brings warmth to my otherwise cold, calculated world. The way she challenges me, but with a smile that makes it impossible to argue. With Samaira, I always felt like I had to keep my guard up, maintain control. But with Anu, I can breathe. I can be myself—no mask, no pretense.
There’s this moment every day—usually at night, after the chaos of work and family obligations—when I’m just with her, even if it’s over the phone or through a simple text, and the world feels quieter, calmer. It’s the way she makes me laugh without even trying, the way she gets under my skin in a good way. She doesn’t care about my reputation, my power, or who I am in the underworld. She cares about me—Abhiraj, not Raj, not the ruthless CEO, not the kingpin. Just me.
I didn’t know I needed that. Didn’t know it was possible to feel this... complete. With Samaira, I was always chasing something—an idea of what a relationship should be, or maybe just a distraction from the darker parts of my life. But with Anu, there’s nothing to chase. She’s already here, and she makes me feel like I’m enough as I am.
The strangest part? It doesn’t scare me. Not like I thought it would. I’ve always been the guy who has to control everything—my business, my family’s legacy, my emotions. But with her, I don’t feel like I need to control anything. I trust her in a way I never trusted anyone before. She’s seen the worst parts of me, the parts I hide from everyone else, and she’s still here.
It’s funny, really. I’ve always prided myself on being ruthless, calculated, never letting anyone get too close. But now, when I look at her, I feel this deep sense of peace, like I’ve finally found something real, something worth holding onto.
And that terrifies me. Because I know that in my world, things don’t stay perfect for long. But for now, I’m holding onto this, to her, and I’m not letting go.
Whatever happens next, I know one thing for sure: Anu has changed me in ways I never thought possible, and I don’t ever want to go back to the way things were before her.

I was sitting on the couch in the living room chatting with my father and uncle feeling a strange calmness that was rare for me. I’d taken a half day off, something I hadn’t done in ages, and for the first time, it didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything important. With Anu in my life, I was beginning to appreciate the quieter moments—something I never thought I’d care about.
The front door opened, and Agam bhai stepped in. He walked over, and handed me a paper bag and gave me a look that I couldn’t quite place.
“What’s this?” I asked, raising an eyebrow as I leaned forward.
