A glass-walled office. An arranged marriage. And a billionaire who doesn’t share what he considers his.
Raghav Khanna is not a man who competes. He acquires. As the ruthless CEO of Khanna Consolidated, he controls everything that enters his orbit. Employees. Deals. Outcomes.
Then Ishani Rao becomes his executive assistant. Efficient. Composed. Entirely unimpressed by his authority. She corrects him in meetings. Rearranges his schedule without flinching.
Looks at him like she sees the man, not the empire. He tells himself she’s an asset. The problem? He wants exclusive rights. By Valentine’s Week, the controlled billionaire stops pretending.
Anonymous gifts appear on her desk. Late meetings become deliberate. His gaze lingers too long. His hand rests at her waist just a second too firm. Raghav Khanna does not chase. He claims.
What he doesn’t know? Ishani didn’t join his company for the job. She joined to decide if the powerful, disciplined CEO chosen by her family is a man worth marrying. For six months, she evaluated him.
Now the man who thinks he’s seducing his assistant is about to realize she was always meant to be his bride. The most controlled man across country realizes too late: He was never in control of this.
She was.
