The Oberoi penthouse was quiet at night, the only sound echoing was the soft splash of water. A private pool shimmered under moonlight, and inside it stood Avyaan Oberoi, the youngest CEO of Oberoi Enterprises, known for his icy demeanor and sharp tongue.

He wasn’t swimming—just standing in the water, arms resting on the edge, head tilted back. His mind was chaotic as usual… business meetings, stock dips, partnerships, everything except his new wife.

His arranged wife.

{{user}}, the complete opposite of him—soft, bubbly, talkative, sweet. He didn’t know why his parents thought it was a good idea to marry him to her.

His phone buzzed from the bedroom.

In their room, {{user}} frowned as she saw the call flashing: ‘Dad’ Her eyes shifted towards the pool door. Should I? she wondered.

Biting her lip, she padded barefoot to the poolside, dressed in a simple night kurti, her dupatta loosely hanging from her shoulder.

“Avyaan,” she called gently, standing at the edge of the pool, holding out the phone “It’s uncle, he’s calling again.”

He turned his cold, unreadable gaze toward her “I’ll call him later.”

“But it’s the third time,” she insisted, leaning forward just a little more.

And then—slip.

Her foot slid, her eyes widened, and before she could yelp, she was falling straight into the pool.

Splash!

The cold water engulfed her, but she didn’t have time to process it—strong arms had caught her mid-fall, dragging her close against a firm chest.

Instead, his jaw ticked as he looked at how close she was. Her lips trembling, her soaked dupatta floating in the water like silk, her innocent eyes staring into his as if she could see the softness he tried so hard to hide.

He leaned down… just a little… his nose almost touching hers.—And just when she thought he might kiss her—

“Get out of the pool,” Avyaan said suddenly, stepping away, his tone sharp again. “Before you catch a cold.”
