It was the moment everyone had been waiting for—the announcement of the Best Business Executive Achievement Award. He tried to create an air of suspense, but the truth was, everyone in that room already knew who the winner was.Mr. Rout had claimed that prestigious award consecutively for about five years running. His dominance in the business world was no secret, and I had been keeping a watchful eye on him for a long time. After all, he was the man I needed by my side to achieve my goals.

Rising Phoenix Chapter 27; Veil Of Secrecy And Power
Aanya's Perspective:Mr. Rout withdrew his hand, and in the softest tone I had ever heard from him, he asked, "Are you okay?"

It was as though he had set aside his frustration and anger to genuinely inquire about my well-being.Mr. Rout's voice cut through my reverie, snapping me back to the reality of the masquerade ball. His question, whether I was okay, hung in the air like a fragile thread, and for a moment, I considered brushing it off. I knew I couldn't afford to let my vulnerability show.

Every male guest seemed to be deeply engrossed in conversation, their masks now resting on th

She's my porcelain doll, my Aanya, and she's mine, now and forever.I have a trove of memories, each a testament to the depth of my love for her. Yet, from the outside world's perspective, these moments might seem like a peculiar form of torment for her.

Rising Phoenix Chapter 29; Confronting The Demon
Aanya's Perspective:As I let my gaze wander through the grand hall of the masquerade ball, I couldn't help but marvel at the opulence that surrounded me. The chandeliers overhead cast a warm, inviting glow, while the richly adorned walls seemed to whisper tales of the many secrets concealed within them. The entire room exuded an air of sophistication and intrigue that was characteristic of such gatherings.My attention, however, was soon drawn to something unexpected. Amidst the sea of masked faces and elegantly attired guests, there he was – Robert Miller. It was a sight I hadn't anticipated, and I couldn't help but be both surprised and intrigued by his presence.I studied Mr. Miller discreetly, my eyes trailing from the top of his perfectly coiffed hair to the tips of his impeccably polished shoes.

Rising Phoenix Chapter 30; Echoes Of The Past
Aanya's Perspective:The grand hall of the masquerade ball faded into the distance as I bolted out of the room. I ran as if my life depended on it, tears streaming down my face. The urgency of escape fueled my every step, and in my haste, my shoes were mercilessly flung from my feet.Breathless and frantic, I sprinted through corridors and hallways, not caring where I was headed as long as it was far away from that man. Every part of my being screamed for distance, for escape. My mask, once a facade, was now an impediment, and I tore it from my face, hurling it aside without a second thought.Finally, I spotted an empty bench. Collapsing onto it, I pulled my knees to my chest, attempting to shield myself from the overwhelming emotions that had taken hold of me. My trembling body refused to be calmed, and I huddled further, wrapping my arms around myself.It was the first time I had come face to face with him since my release. Despite the therapy, the treatments, and the healing, the m
Rising Phoenix Chapter 31; Masquerade Of Emotions
Anisha's Perspective:I, hidden behind the anonymity of my white mask, surveyed the grandeur of the masquerade ballroom. The opulent surroundings, the shimmering chandeliers, and the ornate decorations were all impressive, but they did little to alleviate my growing sense of boredom.I moved my gaze casually across the room, my expression tinged with a hint of indifference. The masked guests, with their elaborate costumes and enigmatic disguises, flitted around me like phantoms. It was a world of hidden identities and concealed desires, a world in which I was a willing participant but not an enthusiastic one.As my eyes wandered, they eventually settled on a figure that instantly brought a radiant smile to my face. Hridhan. Even in the midst of this opulent gathering, he stood out, an epitome of charm and charisma.

Rising Phoenix Chapter 32; Embracing Shadows
Anisha's Perspective:My emotions swirled like a tempest within me. As Hridhan's gaze lingered on my inner turmoil, he didn't pepper me with questions, nor did he attempt to offer comforting words. Instead, he took a course of action that was both unexpected and deeply reassuring.Without a word, he guided me away from the prying eyes of the masquerade ball. We retreated to a secluded corner, a shadowy alcove that concealed us from the curious glances of the other guests. From our vantage point, we could still survey the entire hall, yet the cloak of darkness provided us with a semblance of privacy.Hridhan, ever the gentleman, pulled out a chair from a nearby table and gently urged me to sit. He knelt down, positioning himself to meet my eyes directly, and reached for my trembling hands.

His anger had consumed his senses, and he raged at me for showing up and ruining his incarnation ceremony.

Anisha's Perspective:Standing at the very spot where I once stood years ago, a rush of memories overwhelmed me. Back then, I had turned my back on this place, my heart shattered, my trust obliterated, and my faith in tatters. Tears of betrayal and pain had clouded my vision.
