...[Kiara's POV ]...

Today was the day.

The day I had dreamed of for years.

After countless , sleepless nights and endless hard work, my father had finally acknowledged my potential.

From this day onward, I would no longer stand in anyone's shadow.

The world would know my name

Kiara Raghuvanshi.

The youngest and most powerful CEO.

A smile unconsciously spread across my lips as excitement bubbled inside me.

Knock... Knock...

A familiar voice drifted through the door.

"Baby, are you awake?"

My smile widened instantly.

"Coming, Sunshine!" I called back.

I hurried to the door and pulled it open without a second thought. The moment I saw my sunshine(my mom) standing there, I wrapped my arms around her in a tight hug.

"There, there..." She chuckled softly, gently patting my back.

"Relax, baby. I know you're happy, but if you hug me any tighter, you're going to crush your sunshine."

I immediately loosened my grip and looked up with an innocent expression.

Am I really crushing you, Sunshine?

She laughed.I'm just joking.

I crossed my arms, pretending to be offended, and puffed out my cheeks.

You're so bad, Sunshine.

She laughed harder, making my fake pout disappear as I smiled once again.Before She could head downstairs, She called from outside my room.

Come down quickly for breakfast, baby. Everyone's waiting, and don't be late on your first day at the office.

Okay, Sunshine. Coming,I replied.

Five minutes later, I walked downstairs.

The moment I stepped into the dining area, I was greeted by the usual morning chaos. Everyone was busy arguing over food. Well... now it was my turn to join the madness.

Come on, guys. Eat like adults, I said, shaking my head.

My sister, Naina, and my best friend, Anika, looked at me and spoke in perfect sync.

"Shut up."

"Okay, okay... I surrender," I laughed, raising my hands. "Now pass me the sandwich beside you, dumbo."

"This one?" Naina asked, pointing at the sandwich.

"Yeah, that one."

"It's mine now," she said with an innocent smile.

I turned toward Sunshine and old man (dad)

"Sunshine, if anything happens to this brat, don't blame me."

Without waiting for a reply, I walked over to Naina, gently flicked her forehead, and snatched the sandwich from her hand.

Meanwhile, Anika sat there quietly, enjoying the entire drama while eating her breakfast.

Naina eyes drifted toward Anika, and a small smirk played on his lips.

"Mom," She called out innocently, "do you know Anika di didn't come home last night?"

Anika nearly choked her food she was eating. She coughed, her heart racing with nervousness.

Everyone at the table turned to look at her in surprise-except Dad.

"Is that true, baby?" Sunshine asked softly, concern evident in her voice.

"You didn't come home last night. Are you okay?"

Anika awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck before forcing a smile.

"Y-Yes, Mom. I'm fine. I had some work to finish, so I couldn't come home."

"Alright. Just make sure you get some rest now," she replied gently.

Before the conversation could move on, Naina interrupted dramatically.

"Not fair! If I were in her place, you would've scolded me. Sometimes I feel like I'm adopted."

There she goes again, I thought, watching her overact. Now I am thinking why she is even an author-she could easily become an actress .

I already knew this drama had no end.

With a quiet sigh, I pushed my chair back and stood up.

Walking over to Sunshine, I gently kissed her forehead.

"Bye, Sunshine," I said with a smile.

Then I turned toward Dad.

"Bye, old man."

He immediately frowned and crossed his arms.

"I'm not old."

I chuckled, trying not to laugh.

"Okay, okay... stop glaring at me. See you later, old man.

He shook his head with a helpless smile, while the rest of the family couldn't help but laugh at our usual banter.

Just as I was about to leave, Anika stood up from her chair.

She walked over to Sunshine, kissed her forehead, and smiled.

"Bye, Sunshine."

Then she turned to Dad with a mischievous grin.

"Bye, old man."

Dad let out a dramatic sigh.

"Not you too, baby."

He couldn't help but smirk.

"My darling," he said, looking at Mom with fake disappointment, "why are they calling me old?"

Mom laughed softly before teasing him,

"Maybe because you are old."

Dad placed a hand over his heart as if she'd just betrayed him.

"You too, darling? Even you?"

The four of us burst into laughter while Dad shook his head helplessly.

......................

...Raghuvanshi Group ...

Everyone was on high alert because the new boss was coming.

Some employees were cleaning their desks, while others were fixing their hair and clothes.

Suddenly, a black car arrived at the entrance.

Everyone said in unison,

Good morning, Madam Kiara. Good morning, Madam Anika and bowed their heads.

They hummed and walked straight to the CEO office.

...****************...

...****************...

...****************...

The CEO office was coloured in black and gold, symbolizing absolute power, authority, and wealth.

There, on the main desk, a polished nameplate bearing the name Kiara Raghuvanshi (CEO) rested prominently.

She pulled out her chair and took her seat.

Anika chuckled......So, baby, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself and do show some mercy to your employees.

Where? Kiara asked.

To our base. Something has happened there, so I have to handle the situation, Anika replied.

Can I also come and help you, Muffin, after my work is completed here? Kiara asked.........

No. It's dangerous, baby. You don't have any experience there. You will work here until you gain enough experience. Then the old man himself will introduce you to gang members like me," Anika replied.

I'll wait until then," Kiara said while pouting.

Anika smiled at her .....You're so cute, baby.I don't want to go, but I have to and take this dad gave it to you, Anika said, while pulling out a fully loaded gun .

A gun?That Something is like my toy. I already have one,Kiara said with a smirk.

Anika became surprised after hearing that.Where did you get it?baby....she asked.

Naina replied, "I have my own ways."

"Okay. Bye," Anika said and walked away.

As she stepped out of the office, Kiara called her secretary.

Yes, Ma'am?

A beautiful young woman entered the office, holding a file in her hands.

Ma'am, did you call me?

"Yes," Kiara said in a cold tone.

It felt as though her personality had changed within a second.

A few moments ago, she had been talking sweetly with her Muffin, but now she was as cold as an iceberg.

Call a meeting right now. I want every board member, manager, and executive in the conference room within ten minutes,...she said with a stern expression.

But, Ma'am, how can I inform everyone within ten minutes?" her secretary asked.

I don't know how you'll do it. I just want everyone gathered in one place.

Am I clear?" she asked in a cold tone.

Riya (Secretary) trembled with fear.

Y-Yes, Ma'am, she replied.

She turned around and walked out of the office.

As soon as she stepped outside, panic took over. She immediately called every branch and department of the company and strictly instructed them,

Everyone must report to the auditorium within ten minutes with all your employees.

After ten minutes...

Everyone was present in the auditorium, standing in straight lines.

A loud whisper echoed throughout the hall, but it suddenly fell silent as Kiara Raghuvanshi entered.

She didn't even spare them a glance.

She confidently walked straight to the podium.

She continued, her voice calm yet commanding....................

I'm Kiara Raghuvanshi, your new boss. From this moment onward, you all work under me. I can forgive a mistake once, but I will never forgive betrayal. One act of betrayal is enough to end your career in the Raghuvanshi Group. I don't care whether you're a sweeper, a bodyguard, or even a manager. Under my command, everyone is equal.

She turned toward Riya, her secretary.

Give me the file.

Without wasting a second, Riya stepped forward and handed her the file.

Kiara glanced through it before speaking again.

I'm about to call out some names. Whoever I mention, step forward immediately.

The hall fell silent as she began reading.

She called out nearly twenty names. Some belonged to branch managers, some were department heads, while the rest were ordinary employees.

After reading the list, she handed the file back to Riya and glared the twenty people with a cold, piercing stare.

Fire every single one of them. Right now. I don't want to see any of them in this company after today.

A wave of shock spread across the room.

An elderly manager finally gathered the courage to speak.

On what basis are you firing us, ma'am?

Kiara slowly looked at him, her expression unreadable.

Oh? So you're questioning my decision? If I start presenting the evidence against each of you, this meeting will last all day. And once I'm done, the police will personally deal with every one of you.

Her icy words silenced the entire room. No one dared to question her again.

Before leaving, Kiara stopped and spoke without turning around.

One more thing. Increase the salary of every employee who wasn't fired by 25%, effective immediately.

Without waiting for a response, she walked out of the conference room.

The moment she left, the employees burst into whispers.

The new boss is actually generous.

No, she's too arrogant.

At least she rewards honest employees.

But she's terrifying...

Opinions about Kiara were divided. Some admired her strict yet fair leadership, while others feared her cold and ruthless personality.

However, Kiara didn't spare a single thought for their opinions. She returned to her office and immersed herself in the pile of pending files on her desk.

By the time she finished her work, evening had already fallen.

And just like that, the day came to an end.

...****************...

...****************...

...****************...

It was 9:00 o'clock, and for everyone, the day had come to an end ....but not for Kiara .

As she completed her work, she called her secretary, Riya.

Can I come in, ma'am? Riya asked.

Yeah, sure,Kiara replied without glancing at her.

Take this file. I've signed it. Put it safe in locker, after that you can go home. And one more thing......call my driver and tell him he can go now.

But, ma'am, how will you go? Riya asked.

It's none of your business," she said coldly.

I am your boss, not the other way around,Kiara said coldly.

she had already changed into her riding outfit. A black leather jacket, fitted pants, and sturdy boots replaced her formal attire.

Without waiting for a response, she picked up her Jacket and walked away.

In Parking Area

She fastened her helmet, mounted her bike, and started the engine, prepared for the mission ahead.

After a long ride, she arrived at her destination. Parking her bike in a secluded spot, she put on a black mask to conceal her identity.

...

...

Once she was certain no one could recognize her, she stepped inside the bar.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary bar, but behind every VIP room, illegal deals and dangerous secrets shaped the underworld.

Kiara POV

As I reached VIP Room 202, I saw my gang members (Black Panther ) standing outside.

The moment I arrived, everyone lowered their heads in respect.

Boss, Black Panther greeted.

I gave a slight nod.

Did you check everything? Is everything secure?

"Yes, Boss," my right-hand man replied. We've searched every corner of the bar.

What about outside the bar? I asked again.

That's secured as well, Boss. I've stationed bodyguards outside, so there's nothing to worry about.

Good. Let's go inside, I said.

One of my gang members opened the door for me.

The moment I entered, everyone stood up and bowed their heads.

Greetings, Boss of the Black Panther, they said in unison.

"Hmm," I replied as I took my seat.

Inside, several low-level gang leaders were already waiting.

Two seats had been placed directly opposite mine, clearly reserved for someone important.

Suddenly, the door opened once again.

A tall, handsome man walked in. His sharp jawline and icy gaze gave him an intimidating presence. The atmosphere in the room instantly turned tense.

As he entered, everyone bowed once again.

Greetings, Boss of Crimson Wolves

And Shadow Vipers , they said respectfully.

After hearing that, I noticed the other gang's boss.

I didn't pay much attention to them because I didn't care who they were. I had heard about their gang many times, but this was the first time I had seen their bosses Aarav Singhania and Rishi Oberoi.

Aarav POV

Why do I feel so strange? I feel like my angel is somewhere near me.

My heart has never beaten this fast-not even once since childhood. What the heck? It's beating so fast.

........................................................................

Suddenly, someone broke the silence.

So, here is the gun we recently made. It is lightweight and loaded. It can be easily assembled, and it can fire over any distance with the same speed. You can hit a person from one kilometer away within 0.5 seconds.

Kiara spoke, stopping the man.

You don't have to tell us these things. We already know about it. That's why we came here. So, come to the point.

The man nooded and again started speaking.

So, the bidding for this gun starts at 50 million.

Aarav Said "100 million."

"200 million," She said back.

"400 million," He replied.

Like that, it reached around 1 billion. The bidding slowly started turning into a fight.

Suddenly, the door burst open, and a team of police officers came inside.

The gang members started fighting.

Seeing the opportunity, Kiara took the patent and handed the man a check, and said, I bought it. Now, if I find this model anywhere else, you are dead.

The man, terrified, hurriedly said, "Yes."

After taking the patent, Kiara jumped from the second floor, and all her men also jumped from there.

No one saw them jumping because everyone was busy fighting.

When they handled the situation, the place was completely empty. Only Crimson Wolves and

Shadow Vipers were left, and the patent was also gone.

Aarav said in frustration, Go and catch them.

All the members went outside, but there was not even a single member of the Black Panther group.

Aarav said to himself, Now I know who you are. I thought you were just a normal gang, but you are something else. Now it's interesting to play with you, Black Panther.

KIARA SIDE

She was about to reach her home. She stopped her bike one kilometer away from her house and told one of her gang members to take the bike to her office and park it in Lane 3A so that no one would notice it had been used today.

Also, delete all the CCTV footage where we were seen.

Okay, Boss," her left-hand man said.

Then he departed.

It was 1:00 a.m.

She jumped over the boundary wall and slowly walked toward her balcony. She climbed into her house through the pipes.

Inside her house, she smiled.

Finally, my plan worked. The idea of calling the police wasn't bad.

Although their acting wasn't that good, it doesn't matter now. As I got this, now I can sleep peacefully.
