Riaan Khurana

Age: 32

Role: CEO of Khurana Group (Luxury Real Estate Empire)

Personality: Cold, calculating, powerful, possessive, secretly dominant (BDSM lifestyle)

Appearance: Tall, sharply built, always in tailored suits. Piercing dark eyes, stubble-lined jaw, a voice like velvet and command.

Secrets: Keeps a private playroom in his penthouse. Doesn't believe in love—only control.

Flaws: Emotionally guarded, dominant to a fault, doesn't know how to express affection gently.

Quote:

"I don't fall in love, Aanya. I take what's mine… and I never return it."

Aanya Verma

Age: 23

Role: Freshly hired personal assistant

Personality: Sweet, hardworking, naive but smart, emotionally strong. She blushes easily but speaks her mind when pushed.

Appearance: Petite, doe-eyed, long wavy hair, usually in soft office wear. Natural beauty with expressive features.

Background: Comes from a middle-class family. Desperate to prove herself. Has no idea about Riaan's hidden world… yet.

Flaws: Too trusting, inexperienced with intimacy, often underestimates her effect on people.

Quote:

"You think because I'm quiet, I'll break? You don't know me yet, Mr. Khurana."

Their Dynamic:

Power Imbalance – He's her boss, older, experienced, and dominant.

Tension – Their attraction is electric, but rules, guilt, and secrets threaten it all.

Emotional Arc – Aanya grows more confident and assertive, while Riaan learns to let someone in — not just in bed, but in his guarded heart.
