When They Met Chapter 1 .

Tarini's Pov

Today is the busiest day of the week I have two projects to handle simultaneously, along with some pending emails to address regarding an ongoing project and a site visit to manage.I can't wait for the weekend so I could take some rest from my chaotic life

Right now I'm in my cabin going through some designs I made for our clients for their new house. They want a modern house with big backyard for their kids and a huge terrace for them to have fun and rest

I was doing some adjustments for the design when my door was knocked as soon as I permitted the person to come in, Tina entered and informed me

"Mrs.Dixit is calling you to discuss the Kapoor's project"

"I'll be there in a minute" I told her while grabbing my files and headed towards Mrs.Dixits cabin,she's my boss and Tina is her assistant

I was wearing a white turtleneck with white beige pencil skirt with the same color of blazer and a pair of white leather boots. I like dressing up,its my therapy

I knocked on Mrs.Dixits cabin and entered, she was busy on a phone call, she motioned me to sit down, Mrs. Antara Dixit is a lady in her late 30s with gray eyes,brown hair, chubby face with brown skin she's really pretty for her age

She started A.D architects during her initial days of her career. She's one of the best architects in India, with about 200 projects under her, but at the same time she's a really strict boss who wants no mistakes, there is so much one can learn from her, she really inspires me

As soon her as call ended she asked me "How is the Kapoor's project coming along"

"It's going good we just need more ideas about how they want the resort to come along since they have given limited information" I informed while showing her the few designs our team made in past 3 weeks

Kapoors are our old clients and it's a headache to work with them. They own resorts all over India, they want everything perfect but won't give proper instructions about how they want their resort to be and this time is no different they gave less information and when our team shows them design they keep rejecting them and the CEO is an A grade pig who can't keep his eyes to himself

"Well I'm removing your team from this project other team will handle it I am giving you all a new project, Rajputs are opening new hotel and they want us to design it and you know Rajput is a big name it will be profitable for us if we manage to work successfully with them" Mrs.Dixit said after she checked the designs for Kapoors

"Okay I will inform everyone about the changes. When are we going to have a meeting with them?" I asked, mentally noting down everything

"They will come here tomorrow at 10:00am make sure everything is prepared and everyone is on their best behavior Mr. Rajput doesn't like tardiness" She said sternly

"Yes mam I'll make sure everything is prepared in advance and I'll go and inform the team members about the changes" I said

"You may leave and before starting on your work give this file regarding the Kapoors to Mr. Desai and tell him about the changes" She said while handing me the file back

"Sure, I'll take my leave now" I said while I stood up

I went to the elevator and pressed floor number 5 where Mr. Desai's cabin is, as the elevator door opened I made my way to his cabin and knocked on it, as he allowed me to come in I went inside and gave him the file while I told him everything that was discussed in Mrs. Dixit's cabin.

I thought of grabbing some coffee from the nearby cafe as it has already been 3 hrs since lunch break. I crossed the road and opened the door of the cozy cafe which was right opposite our building, I ordered a java chip frappuccino and took a seat beside the window

The weather was cloudy today, it's quite surprising since mumbai's weather is mostly hot or rainy. I decided to work in the cafe and relish the 'once in a blue moon weather preferring it over being confined within my cabin."

I was checking some mails when my name was called out, I went and grabbed my frappuccino and continued my work and informed one of teammate about my whereabouts and told her to stop working on the Kapoors project and inform others as well

As I sipped my frappuccino, the creamy coffee flavor blended perfectly with the comforting ambiance of the cafe, creating a brief moment of respite amidst the day's chaos.

After my coffee got over I stayed a few minutes in cafe finishing up all the mails for the day and headed towards my office as it has already been an hour since I came here, as I reached my cabin I went towards the main room where all the teammates work together, since I'm the team manager I get to have my own cabin

"Attention please, so Mrs. Dixit removed us from Kapoors project and gave us a new project, it's about the new hotel Rajput's are opening and they want us to design it they're going to come here at 10:00am tomorrow and we have to be prepared for everything beforehand as the CEO doesn't like any tardiness"

As soon as I finished everyone started firing questions one after another

"What about the Kapoors then? "

"Thank God we don't have to handle his tantrums anymore"

"Rajput's CEO is so hot I'm going to faint"

"What about the designs we made till now? "

"Oh My God, I need to look more pretty tomorrow"

"Shut up he isn't coming here to see you"

"Guys tone it down" I said after a while knowing they won't stop talking

"As per your questions Mr.Desai's team will handle the Kapoors from tomorrow, and Mayra please don't faint in front of him, Siya you're going to come here tomorrow how you usually come, like the professional you are and yes Mayank is right he isn't coming to see you. That's it for now, any more questions?" I asked after clearing all their doubts

Our team consists of 5 people including me, Siya, Mayra, Pranay and Mayank

"What are the preparations we have to make for tomorrow?" Mayra asked after a while

"Get our old hotel designs which we haven't used and set the designs in the pendrive and make sure everything is perfect and prepare the conference room, the same drill which we do every time" I instructed them

After discussing some more I went towards my cabin and packed my bag to go home, I already had a lot on my plate today, thankfully the Kapoors were removed from the schedule so I didn't have to go check the site, I went towards the parking lot towards my 2023 Land Rover Range Rover Velar, I have been saving for a car since my college days while working part time, when I started working I hadn't decided which one I wanted but this Range Rover instantly caught my eye and I bought it, well I am still paying the installment but it's still mine

I kept my bag in the passenger seat and settled myself in the driver's seat. Connecting my phone, I played Taylor Swift's 'Lover' album, belting out the lyrics to 'Landon Boy' as I navigated through the streets of Mumbai.

I reached home after 1 hour due to the mumbai traffic,as soon as I reached my apartment I took a bath and changed into some cute pajamas, they're really soft, I was too tired to cook something fancy so I just made some noodles, when they were cooked I went towards the balcony with my laptop so I could watch something while eating

I decorated my balcony with some plants and a couch it gave me nice view of mumbai skyline, after eating and watching I went and washed the dishes and did my routine

The warm glow of the city lights danced through the sheer curtains, casting a serene ambiance across my bedroom, as I finally succumbed to the lull of sleep, ready to face whatever challenges tomorrow would bring.

Inferno Heiress: Freed From Hell To Reclaim My Empire

Clara Voss

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
