VEERANSH PRATAP ARYAVAN

His POV :

I’ve met people who wanted my name.
People who wanted my influence.
People who wanted proximity to power.

She wanted none of it.

She looks at me like I’m just a man. Not a title. Not a dynasty. Just a man.

It’s unsettling.

She argues without fear. Walks away without hesitation. Speaks as if my surname doesn’t carry weight.

And maybe that’s what draws me in.

She doesn’t soften for me.
She doesn’t impress easily.
She doesn’t need saving.

I was raised to command rooms.

But with her…
I find myself listening.
