Chapter 12 shadows behind his gentle smile

  • 12 May, 2026

The car rolled to a stop in front of Kaira's house. The street was quiet, but his heart was anything but. For once, he didn't want to leave her in the dark lane outside-he needed to see her safe, behind closed doors, before he could breathe properly.

"Koi risk nahi le sakta..." (I can't take any risk...) he muttered under his breath as he stepped out of the car, walking with Kaira to her door.

    The Malhotra's legacy

    Meet the chaotic, crazy, protective, and dangerously lovable Malhotra family. A family that can either love you with all their heart or destroy you without mercy. Reyaan Malhotra A mafia and the most dangerous man, just like his father. He doesn't think twice before killing or torturing someone who crosses their limits. Ruthless to the world, but he has a soft corner for his family and his jaanu. He loves Aira the most in the world and can't bear to see her in pain. But at the same time, he can't live without teasing and irritating her every single day. Aira Malhotra The princess of the family and everyone's favorite person. She is soft and loving when it comes to her family, but for the rest of the world, she is brutal, arrogant, and a fighter. She hates men, except for the men in her family and the love of her life. She loves her brother dearly until he does something that makes her throw a vase at him. Aditya Verma Aira's childhood sweetheart, Reyaan's best friend, and the son of her father's best friend. He loves and cherishes Aira the same way his father cherishes his mother. He is neither a mafia nor a fighter, just a successful CEO. But when it comes to Aira, he cannot tolerate seeing her upset. He would burn the world for her. Even though he knows she is strong enough to protect herself, he still protects her from the shadows without her knowing. Mayra Rajvanshi The daughter of a well-known businessman. She knows Reyaan loves her, but she never misses a chance to tease him or bring him to his knees. She loves him too, but destiny has other plans. She is forced to leave him, which completely breaks him. However, she has no other choice. She loves him enough to walk away from him for his own good.

    YUVANI The heir between us

    You're absolutely right," Yuvaan said coldly. Vani frowned. "What do you mean?" "You will become the surrogate for my child," Yuvaan stated flatly. Vani laughed bitterly. "In your dreams, Mr. Raichand. Now let me go." Yuvaan's eyes hardened. "You have two choices. Either you become the surrogate for my child, or I will make sure you never get a job in this state-or anywhere in India. I'm not asking for a favor," he said, stepping closer. "I'm telling you. You are going to carry my child." "I don't care," Vani shot back. "I would rather die of hunger than become a surrogate-especially for your child." She yanked her hand free and turned to leave. "What about your sister?" Yuvaan asked calmly. Vani froze. Silence filled the room as she stood there, her breath uneven. Two minutes passed-two minutes of fear, helplessness, and painful thoughts-before she turned back. Walking up to him, she met his gaze. "Fine," she said quietly. "I'll be your surrogate. But only on my conditions." A slow smirk curved Yuvaan's lips. "Alright," he replied. "I'll have the contract prepared." ____________________________________ yuvaan raichand vanii mehra __________________________________ 🎀Tropes 🎀 Enemies to lovers Dark past Forced proximity Surrogacy romance Rich lawyer x middle class Slow burn Age gap Contract marriage
