Rising Phoenix Chapter 36; Reclaiming The Throne
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.

Rising Phoenix Chapter 38; Reclaiming Destiny
Anisha's Perspective:My question sparked a sudden commotion throughout the hall. Whispers and murmurs rippled through the audience like a gathering storm. All eyes were now fixed on Mr. Singh, awaiting his response with bated breath. He replied with a single, powerful word that sent shockwaves through my enemies, "Yes."After hearing that word, Samuel lit up like a fire and started yelling at me, accusing me of causing a scene when I was the one who had tried to kill him. His anger had consumed his senses, and he raged at me for showing up and ruining his incarnation ceremony. He warned me, his voice dripping with malice, to quietly back down and leave, promising mercy if I complied. However, if I chose to stay, he vowed to make it his mission to ruin my life once more. And ladies and gentlemen, after hearing his threats, I couldn't help but smile. He had unknowingly played right into my hands.With a sweet smile still gracing my face, I began to walk back towards the ornate chair th

Reyansh's Perspective:I had been buried under a mountain of work, each task piling up on the other, waiting for my attention. Anisha's recent episode threw my life into chaos.

He'd managed the office seamlessly, handling phone calls, scheduling appointments, and keeping clients satisfied, while I was pulled into the whirlwind of investigation and planning.I knew that what we had undertaken for Anisha was no easy feat. It was risky, intricate, and demanded precision at every step. The

Reyansh's Perspective:"Last night," I continued, "I received a call from my investigator, the one I appointed to keep tabs on Aanya's activities. He shared some interesting information. Among the details, he mentioned that she is currently spotted with her ex-boyfriend."In the hushed confines of our meeting room, the weight of revelation hung thick in the air. Hridhan, usually composed and collected, leaned forward, his gaze fixed on me, his eyes intent on deciphering the puzzle that lay before us.As I relayed the information I'd gathered the previous night, Hridhan absorbed every detail with rapt attention. His contemplative silence filled the room, stretching moments into what felt like an eternity. Finally, after what seemed like an age, he turned to me, a subtle nod signaling for me to continue."The most surprising part was that she was noticed with her ex in front of a bridal dress shop," I revealed, watching Hridhan's expression morph into one of perplexity. It was as though

Chapter 34; Revelations Unveiled
Reyansh's Perspective:As I looked around the room, I couldn't help but notice the varied expressions on the faces of those present. Anisha and Aanya, in particular, regarded me with curious glances, their eyes seemingly questioning the urgency of my summons. But they knew better than to inquire without cause, for they understood the gravity of our situation.The events of the previous night, as recounted by Hridhan, had left me with a multitude of questions and a pressing need to unravel the truth.

Chapter 33; Unraveling Deceptions
Reyansh's Perspective:The sun was streaming into my office, casting a warm glow across the polished wooden desk. I sat at the massive oak desk, my fingers tapping rhythmically against the glass surface, a subtle testament to the whirlwind of thoughts churning within me. My gaze was fixed outside, my eyes scanning the cityscape beyond the glass wall. It was a new day, yet my mind remained entangled in the events of the previous night's masquerade ball.I have seen Aanya in many different lights. I have witnessed her strength, her resilience, and her unwavering commitment to her role in the Dagger Syndicate. But last night had been different. Last night, beneath the veneer of her composed facade, I had glimpsed a vulnerable, fragile girl, one who had endured a lifetime of pain and betrayal.As I gazed out at the bustling city below, I couldn't help but reflect on the enigma that was Aanya.The memories of the previous night swirled in my mind like a tempest.

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. In that simple gesture, he offered a kind of solace that no words could adequately convey.As my emotions gradually found their foothold, I turned my gaze toward him. My voice trembled with the weigh
