My voice barely sounds like mine as I take a frantic step backward. "I-I'm sorry, but I... I-I have to leave." Dhruv doesn't answer immediately. He simply studies me from across the desk before slowly rising to his full height. "You think you can just fly away?" He walks toward me, one step after another, until my back meets the wall. His obsidian eyes lock onto mine. "You stepped into my cage, Dove." His voice lowers to barely a whisper. "And I don't let my birds go that easily." · · ─ 𓆩♡𓆪 ─ · · Alisha Mehra has never wanted much. A simple life, a stable career, and enough money to keep her family afloat. She certainly never wanted Dhruv Singhania. Billionaire CEO. Ruthless businessman. Mumbai's untouchable devil. To Alisha, he was once just the mysterious stranger who helped her in a private restroom when she was at her most vulnerable. Three days later, she discovers he's her new boss. And when she refuses him, Dhruv makes one thing clear: "You don't get to run from me, Alisha." So she runs. But Dhruv has already noticed his little dove. And once he wants something, he doesn't let it go. She is everything he should never want. He is everything she should fear. Yet the deeper Alisha is pulled into his world, the harder it becomes to tell where fear ends and desire begins. Escape is no longer an option. · · ─ 𓆩♡𓆪 ─ · · ꜱʜᴇ ᴡᴀꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴠɪʟ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅɴ'ᴛ ʜᴀᴠᴇ. ɴᴏᴡ, ʜᴇ ᴡɪʟʟ ꜱᴛᴏᴘ ᴀᴛ ɴᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ʜᴇʀ ᴅᴇꜱᴘᴇʀᴀᴛᴇʟʏ ʜɪꜱ.
