Chapter 2: chapter 2

---Atharv’s assistant froze in disbelief. Did this woman just propose to the most powerful man in the industry? Inaya stood tall, exuding confidence. She had gathered every ounce of courage to do this.  Atharv removed his sunglasses, revealing a pair of deep, ink-black eyes that gleamed like polished obsidian. He studied her for a brief moment before turning to his assistant. "Get me her details."  The assistant, already familiar with Inaya Desai, swiftly searched her name on his phone and handed the information to his boss. Two minutes later, Atharv’s lips curled slightly as he responded with a single word.  "Okay."  A strange sense of relief washed over Inaya. Marrying Atharv Singhania was the best thing that could have happened to her. He wasn’t a man who needed to use women, nor did he require love. Most importantly, he had no shortage of women vying for his attention.  This marriage was her way of making Neil regret his betrayal.  The wedding formalities were completed swiftly. Within half an hour, Inaya held the marriage certificate in her hands. Just like that, she was now a married woman.  "President Singhania, may I have a word?"  Atharv slipped his sunglasses back on and walked out of the registration hall. "Get in the car."  Inaya followed, sliding into the plush interior of his Rolls-Royce. She hesitated before finally speaking. "Thank you for agreeing to this marriage. If you need anything in return, just let me know. I’ll do anything. However, I have two requests I hope you can abide by." Atharv leaned back, loosening his collar, his expression unreadable. "Speak.""First, unless absolutely necessary, do not reveal our relationship. Second, do not interfere in my personal matters. But rest assured, since we are married, I will not get close to any other man."  Atharv smirked slightly, an almost predatory glint flashing in his eyes. The air inside the car grew thick with an unspoken intensity.  "I’ll agree… but on one condition." His deep voice carried a quiet authority. "I’ll give you some time to handle your past, but after that, I want a trial marriage. In six months, I will publicly announce our relationship."  Inaya swallowed, then nodded. "Alright. Thank you."  Atharv’s gaze darkened as he added, "Also… I don’t believe a married couple should live separately. You have three days to pack your things and move into a place of my choice. My assistant will contact you with the details."  It was a reasonable request, given their circumstances, and Inaya had no objections. "I agree."  "Good."  With their agreement settled, Inaya stepped out of the car.  As Atharv’s assistant slid into the driver’s seat, he glanced at his boss through the rearview mirror. "Sir, should we return to the office? Or will you be informing the chairman first?" Atharv’s lips pressed into a thin line. "Follow Inaya. Report her every move to me."Something about her sudden proposal didn’t sit right with him.  As the president of an international entertainment agency, he had, of course, heard of Inaya Desai. She had once been Mumbai’s top model. Three years ago, she had shocked the industry by rejecting a contract with the leading entertainment agency, Star King, and was subsequently blacklisted. Soon after, she signed with Nova Entertainment and became a hot topic with the boss, Neil Gulati.  Now, suddenly, she had proposed to him. Why?  Atharv intended to find out.  ---If you like this story, then definitely support it by stickers , i will get motivation, to writeThanku ️❤️🙏🙏Written By –✍ @shri❤️😘So, how is this??Tell me in the comment sectionI will update you soon about the next part..!!Till then, stay tuned and miss me..!!😜#keep reading#keep loving#❤️❤️
