𝘚𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘦 1: 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬

𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿, nervous yet determined, glanced at the large clock in the lobby of 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. Her heart was pounding, but she forced herself to stay calm. This wasn’t just a job interview; it was her first step toward the truth.

The 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁 finally called her name. “𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿, Mr. Mehra will see you now.”

Taking a deep breath, 𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮 adjusted her blazer and walked towards the glass doors.

She could already see 𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮 through the transparent walls—his sharp features, his commanding presence. She had read enough about him to know that he wasn’t an easy man to impress.

As she stepped inside, 𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 didn't look up immediately. His focus remained on the documents before him. When he finally raised his head, his dark, intense eyes met hers.

“You’re five minutes early,” he said flatly, no hint of a smile on his face.

“I like to be prepared,” 𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮 replied, matching his cool tone.

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 studied her for a moment, his gaze piercing. “Prepared, huh? We’ll see about that.”

He gestured to the chair in front of his desk. “Sit.”

𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮 complied, her heart racing but her face calm. This was it—the first step towards infiltrating 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. She couldn’t afford to show any weakness.

Ayaan wasted no time. “Your resume is impressive, but I don’t care much for paper qualifications. I prefer to see how someone handles themselves in reality. Why do you think you deserve a place here at 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀?”

Rhea met his gaze head-on. “Because I don’t just work hard—I work smart. I find solutions, even when none seem possible. Your company is known for its innovation, and I believe I can contribute to that.”

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 raised an eyebrow. “Smart solutions? Give me an example.”

𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮 leaned forward slightly. “In my previous role, we were facing a major issue with a client threatening to pull out of a deal. Instead of renegotiating the contract and losing leverage, I proposed we offer them an additional service at no extra cost for the first year, tied to a long-term agreement. It solved the immediate problem and secured future revenue.”

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻’s expression didn’t change, but she could tell he was listening intently. “Interesting. But this isn’t a small firm you’re talking about. At 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, we deal with multi-billion-dollar projects. Can you handle that pressure?”

𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮’s lips curled into a small smile. “Pressure doesn’t scare me, 𝗠𝗿. 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮. It motivates me.”

𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙚 2: 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙂𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 watched her closely, still skeptical but intrigued. Most candidates stumbled under his questions, yet 𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮 seemed to thrive on them. Her confidence wasn’t forced; it felt natural, as if she was meant to be there. But there was something about her that didn’t sit right with him—something he couldn’t quite put his finger on.

“Confidence is one thing, 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿,” 𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 said, his voice cool. “But overconfidence can be dangerous. Remember that.”

𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮’s expression didn’t falter. “I understand. But I don’t think I’ll have that problem.”

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 stood up, signaling the end of the interview. “You’re hired. Report to my assistant tomorrow morning. But don’t expect any special treatment. You’ll have to prove yourself every day.”

𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮 rose from her seat, keeping her voice steady. “Thank you for the opportunity, 𝗠𝗿. 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮. I won’t disappoint you.”

As she turned to leave, she could feel his eyes on her, as if he was trying to see through her calm façade. She walked out of his office without looking back, but her mind was already racing. She had succeeded in getting inside 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, but now came the real challenge—gaining 𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻’s trust while keeping her secrets hidden.

𝙎𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙚 3: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚

After 𝙍𝙝𝙚𝙖 left, 𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 sat back in his chair, his mind replaying the conversation. There was something about her—a spark, a determination—that set her apart from the others he had interviewed. But it wasn’t just her confidence that intrigued him. It was the way she had handled his questions, almost as if she had been expecting them.

“She’s hiding something,” he muttered to himself. “But what?”

𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 wasn’t the type to let things slide. He picked up his phone and called his assistant. “Get me everything you can on 𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿. I want a full background check by tomorrow.”

Meanwhile, 𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮 sat in a quiet corner of a nearby café, staring at her phone. She had done it—step one of her plan was complete. But she couldn’t afford to get too comfortable. 𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮 was sharp, and she knew he wouldn’t trust her easily.

Her phone buzzed, snapping her out of her thoughts. It was a message from an unknown number: “You’ve entered dangerous territory. Be careful what you wish for.”

Rhea’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly deleted the message, her mind spinning. Someone knew who she was. Someone was watching her. But who? And why now?

She took a deep breath, steadying her nerves. No matter what, she couldn’t back down now. This was her only chance to uncover the truth about her parents' deaths and reclaim her legacy.

𝙎𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙚 4: 𝙐𝙣𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩

Late that night, 𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮 sat alone in her apartment, the weight of her secret identity pressing down on her. She pulled out an old photograph from her bag—her parents, smiling, before everything had gone wrong. They had been the owners of 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀, a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 that had once rivaled 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 in power and influence. But after their mysterious deaths, everything had been taken away from her.

𝗥𝗵𝗲𝗮 clenched the photograph in her hand. She had spent years hiding, waiting for the right moment to strike. And now, she was finally inside the enemy’s camp. She would get her revenge, no matter what.

But as she lay in bed, her thoughts kept returning to 𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻. There was something about him—something that made her feel both drawn to him and wary of him at the same time. She couldn’t afford any distractions, not when so much was at stake. But she had a feeling that getting close to 𝗔𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 would be more dangerous than she had ever imagined.
