Devansh Desai’s gaze, usually sharp with the precision of a seasoned CEO, softened as he watched the familiar, yet subtly altered, landscape of the Obroye family’s estate. The sprawling grounds, meticulously manicured and imbued with an air of quiet grandeur, had always been a place of comfortable association for him. He’d spent countless hours here, a trusted confidant to the Obroye brothers, their families woven into the tapestry of his own through years of shared history and mutual respect.

She was like a rare bloom finding its perfect soil, her roots slowly but surely taking hold.
