Rivalry and Romance by arhenak_

Dimitri Knight's way of dealing with an unexpected heartbreak is to immerse himself in work -- to the point of exhaustion. Fortunately, his workplace unveils a new initiative. An ambitious project in need of a visionary. A mastermind who will dictate its form, purpose and mold it from the ground up. Dimitri sees this as the perfect opportunity for distraction and perhaps enough to silence the ache. Until a certain someone who has always lived as a background character in his life sets her eyes on it. He finds himself rivaling with the CEO's seriously non-serious granddaughter, Amirah Barsar -- the chosen heir to the company. To him, she's nothing more than an unskilled individual, skating-ahead on the privileges of nepotism. But what he's unaware of, is that it's all a pretense of incompetence on her side, to repel the responsibility she wants nothing to do with. ︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵ Becoming the CEO is her nightmare. And what sane person runs towards their nightmare, instead of away from it? Definitely not her. For Amirah, this venture is her only chance to prove to her grandfather that her talents belong elsewhere. But the only ticket to her freedom is tangled in a high-stakes rivalry with a man known for never losing -- Dimitri Knight, who's arrogance has never failed to exasperate her. . . . Will this path of fierce rivalry lead them to their intended destinations or will it spiral into an unforeseen direction, perhaps toward the unpaved road of romance?
