My name is Calla Lind. For 20 years, I have lived within the shadow of my beautiful older sister - chasing and holding onto an illusion of love. A love that will never belong to me... Now with this second chance of life, I won't chase after illusion. I won't rely on someone else for happiness. I will do what I want, enjoy what I do, and learn to let go. NOTE from the writer: I'm an amateur writer so please overlook plot holes, grammar issues, or anything else a story is supposed to have. This is my original story so... as the saying goes "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all".

When Naina Mittal walks into the pristine Headquarters of The Maurya Group, one of the world's largest conglomerates, to meet the CEO AKA the most admired billionaire bachelor in town, she expects to find a cocky, rude playboy; not the sexy stranger, whom she couldn't stop dreaming about since the day they met two months ago. When Veer Maurya decides to step into the iron and steel world by collaborating with the CEO of the most respected name in the industry, Mittal Steel; he gets the shock of his life when instead of an inexperienced, spoilt, rich brat, his lioness walks into his office. The same angel who had stuck like a glue in his mind since the day he had stumbled into her two months ago. ___________________________________________ "In our world, you don't ask for permissions, you go and steal what you want," Veer said with a smirk on his face. His eyes were dark and distant. "But you always ask for mine." I placed my chin atop my hand that rested on his desk. Veer chuckled as he typed a password to secure his computer. He walked around the desk, still smirking, and faced me. Turning my chair towards him, he knelt in front of it. Staring up at me, Veer confessed boldly, "Of course I do, Lioness. You are not one of the cubs I manipulate, you are the queen of my pride." ___________________________________________ This is my first book, constructive criticism is appreciated, negative comments not so much....
