Chapter 1: The Unwanted Proposal
📍 Scene: Banerjee Mansion – Ridansh Banerjee’s Study
👠 [Mishka storms into the grand study, her heels clicking against the marble floor.]
Ridansh Banerjee
Without looking up You’re late.
(Mishka) RIYA
I didn’t come to discuss my schedule, Baba
Ridansh Banerjee
Then what are you here for Mishu?
(Mishka) RIYA
I am not marrying a stranger.
Ridansh Banerjee
Finally looks up, sighing "Mishka, sit."
(Mishka) RIYA
Crossing arms "I don’t need to sit. I need you to listen."
Ridansh Banerjee
Calmly " You will marry. It’s already decided."
(Mishka) RIYA
Fuming "By whom? Because I certainly didn’t decide to auction myself off for a business merger!"
Ridansh Banerjee
Leaning back in his chair "You are overreacting."
(Mishka) RIYA
No, Baba. You are treating me like a bargaining chip.
Ridansh Banerjee
Firmly "This isn’t about you alone, Mishka. It’s about the Banerjee name."
(Mishka) RIYA
Mocking "Oh, how could I forget? The sacred Banerjee name"
Ridansh Banerjee
Irritated " Stop being dramatic."
(Mishka) RIYA
Voice rising "Dramatic? You’re forcing me into marriage for a business deal!"
Ridansh Banerjee
It’s called responsibility, Mishka. Something you don’t understand.
(Mishka) RIYA
Scoffs "You mean control."
Ridansh Banerjee
If you truly believe you don’t need this marriage, then prove your worth.
(Mishka) RIYA
Sarcastic "Oh, let me guess—run a company overnight?"
Ridansh Banerjee
Smirking" Close. You will attend Crestwood Business Academy under a new identity."
(Mishka) RIYA
Blinking "Wait… what?"
Ridansh Banerjee
No Banerjee name. No Banerjee money. You will earn your place, like any other student.
(Mishka) RIYA
Heart racing "You’re serious?"
Ridansh Banerjee
Deadly serious.
(Mishka) RIYA
Thinking… "And if I succeed?"
Ridansh Banerjee
"I will call off the engagement"
(Mishka) RIYA
Smirks" I like those odds."
Ridansh Banerjee
But if you fail… you will marry without protest.
(Mishka) RIYA
Jaw tightening" I won’t fail."
Ridansh Banerjee
Nods Then we have a deal.
(Mishka) RIYA
👠 [Mishka turns on her heel, walking out of the study, heart pounding.]
💭 This was just the beginning…
