Akriti knew better than to accept favors from a man like Kabir Agarwal.
As assistant to one of the most ruthless CEOs in the industry, she'd seen firsthand how he operated - cunning, calculating, and always three steps ahead. But when her family's financial crisis became desperate, and he offered her a proposal too generous to refuse, she made a deal she couldn't take back.
The payback was good. Too good. And that should have been her first warning.
What starts as a simple arrangement begins to twist into something far more complex. Beneath the sharp suits and cold boardroom tactics, Akriti discovers glimpses of the man behind the reputation, moments of unexpected tenderness, flashes of vulnerability he shows no one else. Day by day, she feels herself falling, drawn deeper into a connection she never anticipated.
But in a game where power and perception are everything, can she trust what she sees? And more importantly, does he feel it too, or is she just another piece on his carefully constructed chessboard?
Some deals cost more than money. Some cost your heart.
