Not yours to control

ESHANI MEHRA
Eshani Mehra didn't believe in easy victories.
At twenty-four, she had already carved a place for herself as a criminal lawyer-not by chance, but through discipline, precision, and an unshakable sense of self. She was calm, composed, and rarely second-guessed, the kind of woman who didn't need to raise her voice to be heard.
In a courtroom, she was relentless.
Outside it, she was guarded.
There was a quiet strength about her, the kind built over years of learning when to stay silent and when to stand her ground. She didn't trust easily, didn't depend on anyone, and never let emotions cloud her judgment.
Because she had learned early on-
that not every place called home feels like one.
Eshani didn't fight for validation.
She fought for control.
And this time, she had no intention of losing it.

VEERANSH MALHOTRA
Veeransh Malhotra was a name people respected-sometimes out of admiration, often out of caution.
A successful businessman in the public eye, he carried himself with a quiet authority that didn't need to be announced. He was composed, calculated, and always in control, the kind of man who spoke less but meant more.
But there was something about him that didn't quite fit the polished image.
It was in the way people hesitated around him, in the way problems seemed to disappear without explanation, and in the unspoken understanding that crossing him was never a good idea.
Veeransh didn't believe in chaos.
He believed in control.
And in his world, control wasn't an option-
it was a necessity.
