Roohi's pov:

I woke to the gentle hum of my alarm, the soft light of dawn filtering through our bedroom curtains. My head rested on Vivaan's chest, his heartbeat a soothing rhythm beneath my ear. His arm was draped protectively around my waist, anchoring me to this perfect moment.

Careful not to disturb him, I slowly extricated myself from his embrace. As I slipped out of bed, Vivaan murmured in his sleep, tightening his hold briefly before settling back into slumber. I smiled, touched by his unconscious reluctance to let me go.

After a quick shower, I dressed in a simple yet professional outfit, readying myself for the day ahead. A glance at the clock sent a jolt of urgency through me,I was running late. My inbox revealed an email highlighting an important meeting today, and I still needed to refine my presentation.

Grabbing my laptop, I settled at the dining table, fingers flying over the keys. The aroma of something delicious wafted from the kitchen, and I looked up to see Vivaan at the stove, expertly flipping dosas - my favorite.

"Vivaan, you didn't have to do this," I called out, touched by his thoughtfulness.

He turned, a playful glint in his eyes. "Good morning to you too. Breakfast is the most important meal, you know."

I chuckled, but my gaze drifted back to my screen. "I know , but I'm really pressed for time. I need to finish these slides."

Undeterred, Vivaan approached with a plate in hand. "Then let me help." He set the plate beside me and tore a piece of dosa, holding it up to my lips. "You work, I'll feed you."

I hesitated, then relented, allowing him to feed me as I continued typing. Between bites, I couldn't help but marvel at the gentle care he showed me.

"You're spoiling me," I murmured, glancing up to meet his warm gaze.

He shrugged, a soft smile playing on his lips. "Just taking care of what's mine."

My heart swelled at his words. Finishing the last of the dosa, I closed my laptop and stood, reaching up to plant a kiss on his forehead. "Thank you, Vivaan. I don't know what I'd do without you."

He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. "Have a great day, bye. I'll be here when you get back."

With one last grateful smile, I grabbed my bag and headed to the office.

The meeting room buzzed with murmurs as we gathered, anticipation hanging thick in the air. Our CEO, Mr. Malhotra, stood at the head of the table, a proud yet solemn expression on his face.

"Good morning, everyone," he began, his voice commanding attention. "I have an important announcement. After much consideration, I've decided to step down as CEO. It's time for new leadership to guide us forward."

A ripple of surprise swept through the room. I exchanged glances with my colleagues, all equally taken aback.

Mr. Malhotra continued, "I'm pleased to introduce my son, Aryan Malhotra, who will be assuming the role of CEO effective immediately."

The door opened, and a tall, composed man entered. Aryan's presence was commanding, yet there was a warmth in his eyes as he surveyed the room.

"Thank you, Papa," Aryan said, nodding to Mr. Malhotra before addressing us. "I am honored to lead this company and work alongside all of you to achieve new heights."

As he spoke, I couldn't shake the feeling that this change would bring about significant shifts - not just for the company, but perhaps in ways none of us could yet foresee.
