Happy reading....

Meera's return to India is a complex mix of emotions and determination. After two years of building her own path with Mahi's The Den, her successful fashion design company, she feels a sense of accomplishment.
Her decision to leave her husband, Vidyuth Rathore, the King of Rajasthan, was not easy, but it was necessary for her personal and professional growth. Now, back in India, sheâs focused on expanding her business, proving her independence, and making her mark on the fashion world. However, the memories of her past with Vidyuth linger, adding a layer of unresolved emotions to her return.
She remains steadfast in her belief that her decision was right, but returning to the land she once called home stirs both her strength and vulnerability.
Meera's feelings towards Vidyuth remain a tangled web of love, hurt, and unresolved emotions. Though she made the choice to leave him, there's still a part of her that is drawn to the man she once deeply cared for. The vulnerability she feels when it comes to Vidyuth makes her question her own strength at times, despite her professional success.
Every step in Rajasthan brings back memories of their shared moments, the connection they had Yet, she also remembers the reasons she left, the need for independence and self-discovery that drove her away. Now, her return feels like a silent test of her emotional resilience, even as her heart remains conflicted.
Meera's encounter with Vedansh Raychand, the powerful and calculating CEO known as "The Shark," adds another layer to her journey in India. Vedansh, with his vast business empire and sharp instincts, represents a formidable figure in the corporate world.
As the CEO of VR's, he has made a name for himself by dominating the Indian market, leaving a significant impact on various industries, including fashion. Meera, with her growing brand Mahi's The Den, recognized by her influence and success, but she also knows that dealing with someone like Vedansh requires caution and strategy. This meeting could either open doors for collaboration or create new challenges in her business pursuits.
Georgeâs deep obsession with Meera has made him highly protective, to the point where he disapproves of her return to India and any possibility of her reconnecting with her ex-husband, Vidyuth Rathore.
As her best friend and COO of Mahi's The Den, he has always been by her side, supporting her through the highs and lows. However, his feelings for Meera go beyond friendship, and his strong opposition to her working in India stems from his desire to keep her away from Vidyuth and to have her focus solely on her business and perhaps, on him.
Despite his loyalty, his motives are driven by a mixture of concern, jealousy, and unrequited love.
When Meera landed in India, she immediately felt the weight of both nostalgia and responsibility. As she sat down in her hotel room, her phone buzzed with an incoming video call from George, still in Spain, managing Mahi's The Den.
Meera answered, and George's concerned face appeared on the screen.
"You're really back in India. I still canât believe you went through with it."
George said.
"I had to, George. The business is expanding, and India is a huge market. You know that."
Meera reasoned back at her worried face. George sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"You didnât have to go yourself. I couldâve handled things from here, sent someone else. This... this is about more than business, Meera. It's him, isn't it?"
Only if Meera he is not only getting worried there is something else too.
"No, George. This isnât about Vidyuth. Itâs about me. I left two years ago to build something on my own, and this is part of it. You canât expect me to run forever."
She knows end of the days she have to face him. George's eyes narrowed with frustration.
"You know whatâs going to happen if you run into him. He still has a hold on you. I don't want to see you hurt again, Meera. Youâre stronger now, but that doesnât mean youâre invincible."
"Iâm not here to reopen old wounds. Iâm here to take Mahiâs The Den to the next level. Thatâs all."
He was silent for a moment, clearly torn between his role as her best friend and his personal feelings.
"I just... I worry about you. You know how I feel."
He replied.
"I know, George. I appreciate everything youâve done, but this is something I have to do on my own. I need to face whatever comes, even if that means running into Vidyuth."
George shook his head.
"I hope you know what you're doing. Iâm only a call away, but I still think youâre making a mistake."
She mumbled,
"Maybe, but it's my mistake to make."
With a deep sigh, George nodded, though his expression remained conflicted.
"Fine. But donât expect me to stay quiet if things get messy. Iâll be on the next flight if you need me."
Meera smiled faintly, appreciating his loyalty despite their differences.
"I wouldnât expect anything less."
The call ended, leaving Meera with the silence of her room and the weight of the decisions she knew sheâd have to face.
