The Two of us

Kavya Kapoor has everything-beauty, wealth, and the ruthless drive that built her empire, Kavya's Glow, into one of Los Angeles' top beauty brands. She's flawless, untouchable... until her carefully curated life shatters with four little words from her mother: "You're getting married." The groom? Gerald Van Dyke-arrogant, magnetic, and heir to one of America's most powerful families. He's as infuriating as he is irresistible, and he wants nothing to do with this arrangement either. But their parents are determined to unite two empires, no matter the cost. What begins as an arranged marriage neither of them wants quickly spirals into a dangerous game of pride, passion, intoxicating hunger,and forbidden desire. Gerald's bold, public proposal sparks a fire that even Kavya can't control, while every clash between them only fuels the magnetic pull simmering beneath their hostility. Behind the glittering façades and flashing cameras, powerful forces are pulling strings. Family secrets, hidden agendas,and a legacy bigger than both of them threaten to turn their sham of a union into something far more dangerous... and far more intoxicating.

" A marriage." she snaps "An arranged fuckin marriage" She yells.

Patricia stood and walked towards the table for a class of water . "Breathe, girl." She hands the glass to her

Kavya looked up at her, her voice barely a whisper. " I can't believe this is happening to me, THE Kavya."

" Can't blame her ," Kavaya shot her a look " Okay maybe she went a little overboard "

Kavya laughed bitterly. "You think I've built everything just to be handed over to someone I don't even know?"

"No," Patricia said. "But maybe this guy is just as pissed off about it as you are."

Kavya leaned deeper into her bed,eyes narrowed. " Oh I highly doubt that, I'm sure Gerald Van Dyke must be please about this whole arrangement, elated even--

Patricia Screeches " Gerald? the Gerald of V.D groups? OMG babes you've just hit a jackpot"

" Will you stop fanning over him? " She throws a pillow at her

" He's so hot," she giggles catching the pillow

" Really stop, you're not helping". Get's out of bed. " His coming with his family for dinner next week." She sighs

" Oh son", He spoke calmly " I understand you, which is why I've gone to great lengths in insuring I find the perfect bride for you"

" I won't do this and you can't make me" She spoke firmly

" Kavya's mother and I have known each other since our college days. She's an amazing woman. She has been through so much yet, she raised an incredible daughter and an amazing business woman".

" I am doing so well, infact I'm one of the top CEOs in the world, so I don't need a spoilt princess who would ruin my life"

" This is about your mother and I, isn't it"?

"You gave her a kidney, you gave her a better life, damn it dad, you gave that bitch everything! " He bellows."Yet she chose to run off with your business partner"

"Gerald you will get married to Kavya and that is final, she's not your mother or my ex wife." He stood up with his hands behind his back

" This union isn't just for business but also for your legacy" He sighs

" I'm a grown man". He stood up facing his father " You can't order me around pops

Laughs dryly " Perhaps, but I'm still your father". He gently makes his way to leave

" We'll be having dinner at her place next week,You'll get to meet Kavya and her mother. I highly suggest you propose to her---

" That won't happen " interrupting his father.

" Oh well, prepare to organize the grandest funeral America has ever seen then"
