 CHAPTER 24 IS LIVE—CONFRONTATION
          
          The boardroom is no longer a place of work—it's a battlefield.
          
          Bianca stands across from Aritra with a smile that hides knives.
          Her father pulls the strings from the shadows.
          
          Every accusation.
          Every word.
          Every gesture...
          
          Is meant to break him.
          
          But this time—he isn't alone.
          
          Mallika sits beside him, steady and silent, guiding him with whispered strategy. A touch on his arm. A breath of courage. A presence that keeps him from drowning.
          
          This isn't just business anymore.
          
          It's power.
          Loyalty.
          Fear.
          And at the beginning of a storm Bianca can no longer control.
          
          ✨ Aritra finally questions the truth.
          ✨ Mallika quietly becomes his strength.
          ✨ Bianca realizes—and she's terrified.
          
          The game has officially changed.
          
          Are you ready?

Cheers to another year of exploring new things and turning pages. I hope everyone has a wonderful and motivating New Year full of wonderful books. btw,  CHAPTER 23—THE BETRAYAL IS LIVE
          
          Trust shatters.
          Reputations crumble.
          And one boardroom meeting changes everything.
          
          Bianca makes her move—and Aritra watches the empire he built slip from his hands.
          
          But when the world turns against him...
          Mallika doesn't speak—she simply stays.
          
          Sometimes loyalty is louder than words.
          Sometimes betrayal is only the beginning.
          
          ✨ A storm has begun—and nothing will ever be the same again.

 CHAPTER 22 IS LIVE—GLIMMER OF CHOICE
          
          "Rebellion doesn't always roar. Sometimes... it breathes."
          
          Aritra begins fighting back—not loudly, not recklessly, but quietly.
          A delayed signature.
          A questioned order.
          A choice reclaimed.
          
          And in the stillness of a late-night office, something else happens.
          
          ✨ Mallika rests her head on his shoulder.
          ✨ No words. No promises.
          ✨ Just a moment that feels like sunlight after weeks of darkness.
          
          This chapter is about hope returning.
          about strength growing in silence,
          and about a bond that no longer needs explanation.
          
          Chapter 22 marks the moment Aritra realizes:
          He still has a choice—and he's no longer making it alone.

 CHAPTER 21 IS OUT NOW—BREAKING POINT
          
          "Even the strongest heroes crumble... until someone holds them together."
          
          Aritra hits the darkest moment of his journey —
          the point where the weight of betrayal, manipulation, and exhaustion becomes unbearable.
          And when he finally breaks...
          Mallika is the one who finds him.
          
          A silent office.
          A shattered man.
          A hug from behind that saves him.
          The bond between Aritra and Mallika deepens in a way neither can hide anymore.
          And Bianca?
          She has no idea what storm is coming.
          
           Raw emotion
           Unspoken love
           A new beginning in the middle of chaos

 CHAPTER 20—SECRETS UNVEILED
          OUT NOW
          
          The truth finally breaks through the darkness.
          
          In this chapter, Aritra discovers something he was never meant to see—
          evidence of Bianca’s father’s hidden schemes, the very threads that have been tightening around his life from the beginning.
          
          The betrayal runs deeper than he imagined…
          but so does the loyalty standing beside him.
          
          ✨ In the middle of a tense boardroom showdown, Mallika reaches for him —
          Her hand slides into his under the table, steadying him while he tries to contain the storm rising inside.
          
          ✨ Her silent support becomes his anchor.
          ✨ Her quiet strength becomes his courage.
          ✨ Their bond steps into dangerous, undeniable territory.
          
          This chapter marks a new shift:
          Aritra is no longer blind.
          No longer powerless.
          And no longer alone.
          
          The web of lies is unraveling.
          And the first cut has finally been made.

what would you do if tomorrow were Earth’s last day?
           
          Me? I’d probably panic, make chai, and try to write one last poem before the world burns.
           
          But you know what Siya would do?
           
          She’d walk straight into the chaos with a playlist in her ears, love letters in her pockets, and secrets she never told anyone.
