I sat in front of the mirror, watching as the stylist curled the last strand of my hair. The reflection staring back at me looked radiant — confident eyes, a calm smile, every detail perfectly in place. For once, I didn’t have to pretend to be happy. I was happy. After all, today I was getting engaged to Reyansh Malhotra — the Reyansh Malhotra — the most eligible bachelor in Delhi.

When the stylist finally stepped back, I tilted my head slightly and smiled at my reflection. Perfect, I thought. Just as I wanted.
