Viktorovich Romanov, a renowned CEO of the esteemed fashion brand, "Elegant Noir," and proprietor of multiple luxurious hotels and resorts, was a man of unyielding ambition. His cold, distant demeanor and no-nonsense attitude had earned him a reputation as a formidable businessman. Vulnerability, in his eyes, was a liability, a weakness to be exploited. He had built his empire from scratch, fueled by determination and grit, rising from humble beginnings in a small town.

There, he had grown up alongside an unlikely adversary, Sameera, a bright and sunny girl who embodied everything he disdained in people - optimism, naivety, and a relentless pursuit of happiness. Yet, Sameera was different; she possessed a stubbornness that rivaled his own, and a determination to pierce his armor. Fate, it seemed, had other plans for them, and a forced marriage had brought them together.

A month had passed since their union, and not a single day had gone by without Sameera testing his patience. Her antics knew no bounds, often leaving him frustrated, yet he couldn't deny the growing fondness he felt for her, though he'd never admit it to her face.

Today, they found themselves on a "date," a concept he'd never truly understood. Sameera had insisted on buying clothes, and he'd reluctantly agreed, grumbling under his breath. But when she'd threatened to take his PA instead, he'd acquiesced, unwilling to let another man accompany his wife.

As they strolled through the mall, Sameera had dragged him to an indoor entertainment center, where he'd found himself squandering his life on a claw machine, determined to win a plush toy for her. And when he finally succeeded, her excitement was palpable. In a moment of unbridled joy, she kissed his cheek, froze, and apologized profusely.

Distracted by the plushie, she didn't notice him winning another toy. He shamelessly pointed to his other cheek, a mischievous glint in his eye, and spoke.

"Now, this one's turn, Solnyshko."
