9 parts Ongoing Aisha Sharma had always carried herself with ambition and grace. As the self-made millionaire founder of an eco-luxury fashion label, a sought-after model and influencer, and Arora Cosmetics' personal designer and brand ambassador, she navigated high society on her own terms-despite conservative parents who prized discretion.
Yet nothing in her polished resume prepared her for the Arora gala where elegance and influence intertwined, and a moment of nervous clumsiness left Kabir Singhania's tailored suit drenched in champagne.
Kabir, CEO of the sprawling Singhania Group, was famed for his sharp wit and unyielding control. But when Aisha hurled her glass-mistaking him for a would-be harasser-he didn't lash out or look away.
He met her apology with measured respect, brushing off the bubbles and offering a quiet, "No harm done," that cut through her panic and lit something in her heart. Beneath his composed exterior, she glimpsed a complex man-sarcasm masking deeper pain, and an intensity that dominated every room.
In the months that followed, Aisha watched from the periphery of his world, gathering courage between photoshoots, runway shows, and design consultations. Though an introvert by nature, she found herself drawn into his orbit, daring to imagine a connection beyond mere acquaintance.
Finally, summoning every ounce of boldness, she confronted him: "I want more than friendship-will you give me a chance?"
His answer was a single, measured word: "No."
Her heart stuttered, but her resolve remained unbroken.
"Consider this your warning Mr.Singhania, I don't take no for an answer-not in business, and certainly not in love."
""I don't settle for less than what I want-and I want you Mr. Singhania"
"This isn't a request; it's a declaration: I'll have you Kabir."
Aisha: "Every time you hold back, you break my heart a bit more."
Kabir (running a hand through his hair): "Believe me, I'm breaking too."
