CHENNAI, MIDNIGHT
ANAMIKA'S POV;
My heart was thumping loudly, each beat reverberating through my chest, as my mind replayed the events from earlier. Raksh Luthra—a name that carried weight across the country, the CEO of Cybernetics, one of the fastest-rising companies in recent years, always in the spotlight. But today, he wasn't just another figure in the media; How was I supposed to sleep when my brain wouldn't stop overthinking everything?
The day started with warmth—hugs, kisses, and blessings when Nana, Nani, and the rest of the family arrived. The house was packed with banter and laughter. The reception had been going smoothly until I saw him, until I met Raksh, until i realized that RAKSH FUCKING LUTHRA IS HADES
Those obsidian eyes... I could never mistake them for anyone else's. I'd seen them before, hidden behind a mask at those anonymous parties. When his mother introduced us, and I finally saw him without that disguise, the realization hit me hard. But it wasn't fear—I wasn't scared of him. I just... couldn't bring myself to look into those eyes again. That moment of recognition was enough to send a shiver down my spine. And now, even though he wasn't here, the memory of him lingered,He was undeniably attractive, no doubt about that.
