Chapter 1: *The Day She Broke Me*
Rain was falling heavily.
Aarav stood outside the café, completely drenched… holding a small gift in his hand.
Inside, he saw her.
Riya.
The girl he loved for 3 years.
But today… everything changed.
Aarav slowly walked in.
"Riya… I need to talk," he said, his voice shaking.
Riya looked at him… and then smirked.
"Talk? About what? Your broke life?" she laughed.
The entire café went silent.
Aarav's hands trembled.
"I… I love you, Riya. I just need some time to become successful…"
Before he could finish—
**SLAP!**
The sound echoed.
"Love?" she said coldly.
"Love doesn't pay bills, Aarav."
She stood up and pointed at a rich-looking man sitting beside her.
"Meet my boyfriend. He owns 3 companies."
Aarav felt his world collapse.
Tears mixed with rain on his face.
"Remember this," Riya whispered,
"I don't date losers."
Aarav looked down… broken… humiliated.
But then—
His phone vibrated.
Unknown Number.
He picked it up slowly.
"Mr. Aarav Mehra," a deep voice spoke,
"Your father's company… is now under your control."
Aarav froze.
"What…?"
"You are now the sole owner of **Mehra Global Industries. Net worth: ₹1,200 crore.**"
Silence.
Aarav slowly lifted his head.
His eyes changed.
From pain… to power.
He looked at Riya one last time.
And smiled.
"Let's see… who the loser is."
