The Billionaire's Mistress Run Away
Chapter 1
A vain woman who traded her fleeting beauty for a life of unimaginable luxury, spending a billionaire's fortune without a second thought. That was how the world saw Tara Singhania—the shameless mistress of business tycoon Kabir Oberoi.
To everyone, she was nothing more than a gold digger draped in designer labels, living off another man's wealth. No one cared to ask what lay beneath the glittering façade, or whether the woman they judged so mercilessly had a story of her own.
The ladies' restroom was quiet, filled only with the soft sound of running water.
Standing before the mirror, Tara Singhania calmly touched up her makeup, her expression unreadable. The click of high heels echoed outside as a group of elegantly dressed women walked in, completely unaware that the subject of their conversation was only a few feet away.
Rhea Malhotra
(scoffed)That Tara Singhania
Creative Director of Khanna Couture
Natasha Khanna
Did you see the purse she was carrying today?(with obvious envy.)
Founder & CEO of Mehra Cosmetics
Sanjana Mehra
I noticed it too. And what about her dress? It's from Éden Boutique. I've been on the waiting list for that exact design for the past three months.
Rhea Malhotra
Don't forget her earrings and necklace.
Rhea Malhotra
They look like heirlooms passed down through generations of a royal family.
A mocking laugh followed.
Natasha Khanna
It's outrageous how men start drooling the moment she walks into a room.
Sanjana Mehra
She's no better
Sanjana Mehra
I know Kabir Oberoi is powerful, but where's her dignity?
Rhea Malhotra
No amount of sugarcoating can change the fact that she's just a mistress.
Natasha Khanna
Exactly.......No one even knows where that vulgar woman came from. She has absolutely no shame.
The women burst into laughter.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the restroom door.
ML Bodyguard
Miss Singhania
ML Bodyguard
Mr. Oberoi is waiting for you in the car.
The smiles on the women's faces froze instantly.
Their eyes widened in horror as they slowly turned toward the row of mirrors.
Only then did they realise...
Tara Singhania had been standing there the entire time.
Rhea Malhotra
(gasped, her face draining of colour)Oh...
Natasha Khanna
(let out a nervous sound, unable to meet Tara's eyes)Ah...
Sanjana Mehra
(gulped, whisper)Was... was she here the whole time?
Not a single word escaped Tara's lips.
She simply met their frightened gazes through the mirror, picked up her designer handbag with effortless grace, and walked past them without sparing anyone a second glance.
The click of her heels echoed through the silent restroom, leaving the women rooted to the spot—ashamed, embarrassed, and utterly speechless.

🖤 Author's Note 🖤
Welcome to my story! ✨ I hope Tara and Kabir's journey keeps you hooked from the very first chapter. 💫 Your votes, comments, and support mean the world to me. ❤️ Happy reading! 📖🦋
Chapter 2
Born into a humble middle-class family, Tara never dreamed of living a life surrounded by wealth and luxury. Gentle, soft-spoken, and kind-hearted, she always puts others before herself, often sacrificing her own happiness without a second thought.
Her greatest strength—and perhaps her greatest weakness—is the depth of her love. Tara loves Kabir with all her heart and remains devoted to him, believing that one day he might truly understand her feelings.
Tara Singhania/FL
I'm coming.
Tara quietly followed the bodyguard without asking any questions.
Tara was seated inside a luxurious black Rolls-Royce, quietly gazing out the window. Sitting across from her was Kabir Oberoi.
Chairman & CEO of Oberoi Global Holdings
A self-made billionaire known as one of the youngest and most influential businessmen in the country, Kabir built Oberoi Global Holdings into a powerful business empire spanning real estate, finance, luxury hospitality, and technology.
Calm, calculating, and always several moves ahead, Kabir treats every decision like a business deal. He believes emotions cloud judgment, while logic never fails. Feared for his sharp intellect and commanding presence, he rarely reveals what he's truly thinking.
To Kabir, love is nothing more than a distraction—a weakness that blinds people and leads them to make irrational choices. He has never believed in the idea of love and refuses to define his relationship with Tara. Whether she is simply someone under his protection or someone far more important... even he doesn't know the answer.
Behind his cold, unreadable eyes lies a man who controls everything around him—except the feelings he has yet to understand.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
❄️What's bothering you this time?
Kabir Oberoi/ML
(coldly)I did what you asked.
Tara Singhania/FL
(nervously) Apologies... I didn't mean to upset you.
Tara Singhania/FL
Nothing is bothering me.
Tara Singhania/FL
On the contrary, I'm grateful that you took time out of your busy schedule for me.
Kabir remained silent, his expression unreadable.
Tara Singhania/FL
I... I really enjoyed the fashion show today.
Kabir gently lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
Then why have you been so quiet?❄️
Kabir Oberoi/ML
Tell me what's really on your mind?❄️❄️
He held her gaze, waiting for an answer.
Tara Singhania/FL
(hesitantly) I... I'm just...
The whispers she'd heard earlier echoed in her mind.
Tara Singhania/FL
I'm just a little tired... that's all.
Tara Singhania/FL
Forgive me.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
If you know you've made a mistake...❄️
He paused, his voice calm but firm.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
...then you should get punished.❄️
Kabir Oberoi/ML
Take it off.❄️
Tara Singhania/FL
(confuse)What?
With a subtle gesture, he motioned for her to come closer.
Kabir slowly extended his gloved hand.
Tara reached forward, intending to remove the glove with her hands.
Kabir pulled his hand back.
Tara Singhania/FL
(confused) What...?
Kabir Oberoi/ML
(tapping a finger against his mouth) With your mouth...❄️
(He looks at her intensely, his voice dropping slightly.)
Kabir Oberoi/ML
Take it off with your mouth.❄️
Tara stay there, completely startled, then a warm blush creeping up her cheeks.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
(leaning in with a smirk) Do you not want to, Miss Tara?❄️
(Tara’s heart starts pounding wildly in her chest)
Kabir Oberoi/ML
In that case...❄️
Before he can finish, Tara quickly interrupts, her face flushing red.
Tara Singhania/FL
(blushing) No... I'll do it!
Kabir grins, amused by her reaction. Tara steps forward, leans in close, and gently takes the glove off using her mouth. Watching her closely, Kabir licks his lips before suddenly....
Kabir Oberoi/ML
*smash his lips on her*
Tara Singhania/FL
(kissing back)Ummm~
--------------------------------
Tara sat quietly in her room while a maid attended to her.
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
(smiling) The boss must have had a wonderful evening yesterday, seeing how he sent you flowers and a new pair of shoes.
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
How was your evening, Miss Tara?
Tara Singhania/FL
It was... nice.
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
(laughing) I'm so jealous! (・∀・)
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
Ordinary people like me could barely afford a seat in the very last row, even after saving three months' salary.
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
And yesterday was Anvika Malhotra's very first performance after returning from London!
Tara Singhania/FL
(smiles faintly) Did you want to see it that badly?
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
Yes!
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
My older brother always teased me, saying I didn't have the looks, but I always dreamed of becoming a fashion runner.
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
What about you, Miss Tara?
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
What did you dream of becoming when you were little?
Tara Singhania/FL
(hesitates) A novelist.
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
Really? That's wonderful!
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
Your maternal uncle is the famous novelist, isn't he?
Tara Singhania/FL
Yes.....His name is Jatin Singhania.
Jatin Singhania/Fl Uncle
If you're ever unhappy, you can come back anytime, Tara.
Tara Singhania/FL
Thank you, Uncle.
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
Oh! The mystery thriller writer?
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
I've heard his name so many times!
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
Is it true he never shows his face in public because he lives such a secluded life?
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
What's he like?
Sophie Srivastava/FL maid
I bet he's very handsome if he resembles you at all. (•‿•)
Tara Singhania/FL
(smiles sadly) I'm not sure...
Tara Singhania/FL
I may never see him again.
Tara Singhania/FL
💭The last time I saw my uncle was three years ago.
Tara Singhania/FL
💭It was right before I boarded a plane to the capital, carrying nothing but my dream of becoming a novelist.
Tara Singhania/FL
💭If only that day I wouldn't meet Kabir...
Tara Singhania/FL
💭If only I hadn't trusted the friend who insisted I come to the capital...

Chapter 3
Damini Rao/Head maid
Miss Tara, I have something to tell you. May I come in?
Sophie looked up in surprise. (☉｡☉)
Tara Singhania/FL
Of course.
A woman in a neat maid's uniform stepped inside.
Calm, strict, and exceptionally professional. She oversees the household staff and is known for carrying out every order with absolute precision.
Damini Rao/Head maid
Excuse me for coming by at such an early hour.
Damini Rao/Head maid
But you are to move to Rockford.
Rockford was a private residence located within the eastern wing of the vast Oberoi Estate, reserved exclusively for guests.
Tara Singhania/FL
Rockford?
Tara Singhania/FL
But the season isn't over yet.
Damini Rao/Head maid
The schedule has been moved forward.
Tara Singhania/FL
💭Has something happened to him...?
Tara Singhania/FL
Is... Sir coming too?
Damini adjusted her glasses.
Tara Singhania/FL
(lowering her gaze and clenching her hands) I... see.
Tara Singhania/FL
💭I can't bring myself to ask why he isn't coming with me.
Damini turned toward the door.
Damini Rao/Head maid
I'll tell the maids to begin packing tomorrow.
Damini Rao/Head maid
Please be ready.
Damini Rao/Head maid
You'll be leaving around lunchtime the day after tomorrow.
Tara Singhania/FL
All right.
Damini paused before opening the door.
Damini Rao/Head maid
Oh... and one more thing.
Damini Rao/Head maid
A letter has arrived for you.
Damini Rao/Head maid
It's from a publishing company.
Tara Singhania/FL
(beaming) Oh! Thank you! (≧▽≦)
Damini silently stared at Tara for a long moment before leaving.
A few minutes later...Damini walked through the silent halls of the Oberoi Estate and stopped outside Kabir's private office.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
(coldly) Come in.
Damini stepped inside and bowed respectfully.
Damini Rao/Head maid
I delivered your message to Miss Tara, Boss.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
Good work. You may leave now.❄️
Damini Rao/Head maid
Boss... isn't it about time you sent her away?
Kabir calmly flipped through the documents on his desk without looking up.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
What do you mean?❄️
Damini swallowed nervously.
Damini Rao/Head maid
Lady Devyani, your aunt told me that your father recently invited the daughter of Arvind Raichand, Chairman of Raichand Group.
Damini Rao/Head maid
She said the young lady is of marriageable age.
Damini Rao/Head maid
Lady Devyani also mentioned that, being an intelligent man, you surely understand what that implies.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
The daughter of Arvind Raichand...❄️
Kabir Oberoi/ML
So my father has finally decided to play matchmaker.❄️
Kabir Oberoi/ML
I wonder what he expects to gain in return for trying to sell me.❄️
Damini Rao/Head maid
(shocked) Boss...
Damini Rao/Head maid
I suppose he believes Miss Tara has already served her purpose... and is no longer useful.
Devyani Oberoi/ML Aunt
Kabir... is this your way of rebelling against me?
Kabir Oberoi/ML
I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean, Aunt.❄️
Devyani Oberoi/ML Aunt
Hm... did you really think I wouldn't notice your mistress' resemblance to your late fiancée?
Kabir's gaze drifted toward Tara, who was standing quietly across the ballroom.
He picked up a glass of wine.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
A dead woman is of no interest to me.❄️
Kabir Oberoi/ML
Tara Singhania will never become Mrs. Oberoi.❄️
Kabir Oberoi/ML
Nor will she ever bear my children.❄️
Devyani Oberoi/ML Aunt
(amused) Oh? Then what is it that you want?
Kabir slowly twirled the wine in his glass.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
I want you to stop trying to pair me with Raichand's only princess.❄️
He raised his glass....Their wine glasses clinked softly.
Devyani Oberoi/ML Aunt
Very well.
Devyani Oberoi/ML Aunt
You never remain interested in one thing for very long anyway.
And so, for the time being, Tara Singhania was acknowledged as Kabir Oberoi's woman.
However, three years later...
Kabir Oberoi/ML
💭Aunt must be getting anxious because I'm showing no signs of sending my mistress away.
Damini Rao/Head maid
I also heard that the Princess of Raichand has blonde hair.
Damini Rao/Head maid
Your aunt has met her personally.
Damini Rao/Head maid
She says the princess resembles your late fiancée even more than Miss Tara does.
Kabir suddenly burst into loud, unsettling laughter.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
(laughs coldly) Hahaha...
Damini Rao/Head maid
Boss...?
Kabir's laughter faded into a contemptuous sneer.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
Damini...❄️
Kabir Oberoi/ML
I don't even remember that dead woman's face.❄️
Kabir Oberoi/ML
💭Everyone believes I'm in love with someone I only saw once when I was young.
He let out a quiet chuckle.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
💭Well... I can't blame them.
Kabir Oberoi/ML
💭After all, I met Tara for the first time on the flight back from that woman's funeral.
