As Mahira pushed me away and stood up, I couldn't help but smirk. She thought she could escape me that easily? Oh, Mahii, she had no idea what she was getting herself into.

I watched her hurry out of the room, her cheeks still flushed from our encounter. I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. She liked me too, I could tell. And that nickname - Mahii - it was mine now. She was mine.

I leaned back , steepling my fingers together as I thought about our little exchange. She was feisty, I'd give her that. But I loved it. I loved the way she stood up to me, the way she blushed when I called her Mahii.

Sanyukta poked her head in, looking apologetic. "Mahira , Kevin's looking for you . "

I chuckled to myself, thinking about the look on Mahira's face when she realized she was mine. Oh, this was going to be fun. I was going to enjoy every moment of this little game we were playing.

And as I stood there, lost in thought, I couldn't help but wonder what other secrets Mahira was hiding. But one thing was for sure - I was going to find out. She was mine now, and I always got what was mine.


I was sitting in my office, waiting for Mahira to arrive, when I heard a faint crash. I looked up to see her standing in front of the glass door, rubbing her nose and looking utterly confused.

I couldn't help but chuckle at my Mahii. She was so lost in thought that she hadn't even noticed the door. I was about to get up and help her, but before I could, Kevin appeared out of nowhere and started assisting her.

My smile faltered. I didn't like Kevin around her. He was too friendly, too charming. I knew he had a crush on her, and I wasn't about to let him get anywhere near my Mahii.

I stood up, my eyes narrowing as I watched Kevin help Mahira into the office. "Thanks, Kevin," I said gruffly. "I'll take it from here."

Kevin looked at me, his eyes flicking with understanding. He knew better than to cross me. "Sure thing, Sir ," he said, beating a hasty retreat.

Mahira looked up at me, her eyes still dazed. "Veeranshu, I'm so sorry... I wasn't paying attention..."

I smiled, my expression softening. "It's okay, Mahii. "

I walked over to her, my eyes never leaving hers. "don't worry, I'll make sure you're taken care of from now on."

I gestured to my chair, and Mahira hesitated for a moment before sitting down. She was about to protest, but I stopped her by pulling the chair closer to me, trapping her in place.

"Veeranshu, what are you doing?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of amusement .

I leaned in, my face inches from hers. "I'm taking care of you, Mahii. You're going to sit there and listen to what I have to say."

Her eyes sparkled with defiance, but she didn't try to get up. I knew she was curious, and I was going to use that to my advantage.

I pulled out a file from my drawer and opened it, revealing the contents. Mahira's eyes widened as she saw the papers inside.
