### **INTRODUCTION**
In the corporate world, power doesn't whisper.
It **commands**.
Anika Sharma had built her empire on steel nerves and sharper decisions.
A brilliant CEO.
A ruthless leader.
A woman who believed kindness was a weakness-and emotions, a liability.
She didn't raise voices. She ended careers.
She didn't give second chances. She erased mistakes.
In her company, people survived.
They never *belonged*.
---
Shivaay Singh Oberoi had never belonged anywhere.
Not after his mother died too soon.
Not after his father chose wealth over his own child.
Not after life taught him, again and again, that brilliance doesn't always protect the gentle.
Raised in a small house with his fragile dadi, Shivaay learned to smile through loss and trust through pain.
Gifted. Intelligent. Exceptionally talented.
Yet clumsy, naïve, and painfully kind-
He believed the world worked on fairness, because *he* did.
That belief cost him jobs.
It cost him dignity.
It almost cost him hope.
Until one interview changed everything.
---
Anika Sharma didn't hire people.
She **calculated** them.
And in Shivaay-awkward, underconfident, and far too honest-
She saw something dangerous.
Not weakness.
Potential.
---
He walked into her glass empire with nothing but skill and sincerity.
She ruled it with authority and cold precision.
He didn't know she would break him.
She didn't know he would change her.
Because when innocence collides with ruthlessness...
When kindness stands in front of power...
It's not just a love story.
It's a **war**
