Her soft touch

"Rachit's point of view,"

"Welcome, Riya.

All I did was wait for you." As soon as she walks into the meeting room, she immediately creates positive energy in the room. The scent of fresh roses might ease any person's exhaustion emanating from their bodies.

"What type of urgency has arisen for you, Rachit, that you wanted me to be here so quickly?" She fixed her piercing eyes on me. I wanted to tease her further when I saw how angry she was and had a crimson face.

My choice was perfect, but I was unfortunate in that I could not understand her love. I'm still incredibly remorseful about the time I broke Riya's heart.

Maybe today Riya and I would be together, and my child would also be here if I hadn't married Shilpi to protect the family business. But all I can do is regret it. Riya has lived her life with Harsh rather than me. I did all in my power to get her back in my life, but I can no longer see the love that I once saw in her eyes.

The only girl in my life who turned down Rachit Khurana, i.e., me, was Riya Mittal.

I still don't know why she can't swoon over my seductive nature. Harsh is superior to you in every way, so she has the power to do this to you.

"Rachit, I have a question for you. Why did you call me in such an emergency? Please explain." When I first saw Riya, I had the impression that the volcano of her rage had already burst.

"You are now invited to the Board of Directors meeting."

"What?" She was staring at me in such awe that it appeared as though I had two heads.

"How disrespectful of you to summon the board of directors without telling me in advance." She is making me mad, which is fun.

She turned down my affection and gave it to Harsh. As a result, I will now steal her business and her dream project from her and teach her what it's like to take someone else's share. I will announce to the board of directors today that I have taken over this business from Riya Mittal.

I was powerless to stop the nasty grin from forming on my face. How wonderful it would have been for Riya and me to be married and handle this business together, but she insisted on everything from me, so she did not consider this simple idea of mine. Both love and war are fair games. Because of Riya's desire to fight alongside me rather than with me, she is now also my competitor.

"Please, two black coffees." Using a landline, I called Pantry's phone number to place my order.

She was still there, glaring fiercely at me from a corner of the conference room.

"Riya, calm down and take a seat here on the chair. The directors are about to come."

She pulled a chair in front of her and gently sat down after hearing me.

I had a small amount of sympathy for her because I could see how helpless she was, but as soon as I thought of what she had done to me, the sympathy vanished.

Quickly after that, the conference room meeting began. Because both of them currently possess 50% of the company's shares, the board of directors could not decide who should be regarded as the genuine owner of the business.

To avoid the scenario we are in today, I wish I had asked for 51 percent from her at the time rather than 50 percent. I can only regret this choice, as I have with all of my other choices.

Riya, a brilliant young woman with a keen understanding of business, gave me half of her company in return for just a few blood bottles. This will not be easy.

I'm envious of Harsh.

We witness her intense affection for Harsh. Riya was mine, and I was the only one she ever loved. But then Harsh came into our midst and ruined everything.

He was a part of Riya's past; why did he come back into our path? After I kept in mind these minor details, my feelings of rage and envy grew to where I would kill Harsh if he were to mistakenly cross my path at that moment.

How could he eventually take Rachit Khurana's possessions?

I might have forced Riya that night into the hotel room, but I believed that if I showed pity for her, she could come back to me. I didn't touch Riya in the room without her permission. But she's lived her entire life with Harsh.

The Board of Directors concluded a protracted discussion.

"Since the project for which Riya flew to India is important to the company's future development, whoever manages it will be regarded as the company's owner."

This Board of Directors' decision When I heard this, my malicious grin grew louder.

I attempted to read the look on her face right away. I had the impression that she was stifling tears when I saw her. But seeing her in anguish makes me feel better. She deserves to receive that.

"I'm happy for you, Mr. Khurana." She reached out to shake my hand. Considering how well I know Riya, I would have expected her to lose her mind with rage upon learning that I would use her business, so why is she greeting me so gently? How is she so composed? I could have shocked her to see her business go to me.

"Thanks, Riya Mittal, I would have preferred it if you had addressed me as Sir rather than Mr. Khurana." I said while firmly grabbing her hand.

My lustful thoughts returned as soon as I touched the softness of her hand. I miss the sensation of having her close to me.

My grasp on her hand tightened as my junior's hardness increased.

"Mr. Khurana, I mean sir, please release my hand."

I can't believe Riya, who is standing in front of me, is asking me to release her hand, although she has never cherished anything mlre than my touch.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I quickly released her hand to avoid an awkward situation. "Thanks to everybody. All of you are welcome to a small gathering tonight to celebrate my company's ownership." I exclaimed with excitement as I took in all the boards of directors.

"I'll be waiting for you, Riya."

She was leaving the conference room. Although I know she won't attend my party so easily after accepting my invitation, my heart keeps getting soft for her.

"Yes, sir, I will be at your party on time."

She answered my question without looking, then went. After all, what has happened to Riya, and why is she still so composed?

"Riya, you don't come alone; the party's theme is for a lovely couple, so you come with your partner."

To remind Harsh of how Riya chose me after abandoning him, I'd like him to visit me. I want Riya to understand that, despite everything, Harsh is not a better option for her than I am.

Can you truly compete with Harsh? Stop with the nonsense. It baffled my subconscious why it appears as though I was no better than him.

Riya still likes me from when she used to love me more than Harsh. She just has anger toward me. And I understand how to handle her wrath. I had a new idea about how to take Riya back as my own. I know she is no longer in love with me, yet I cannot give up on the idea of reuniting with her. As long as I have hope in my heart, I will strive to achieve it.

"Riya Mittal: I'm excited about tonight's party." I left myself standing in the hallway as she departed, and I was watching her go. I'm still hoping that she'll return to me one day.
