Chapter 2

Ruhaan's Pov

Peering through the skylights of my office, I savored my coffee, feeling the pressing need for a break. Working tirelessly was beginning to take its toll, yet the thought of leaving the office under the care of the so-called 'idiots' I employed seemed implausible.

I sat down on my chair and so I could finish reading and signing some documents and go home early and spend some time with my family members in our lawn,it's seems to be a good day for outing

I might be cold arrogant and everything the media says but I'm a human too I need rest, just because I'm a billionaire doesn't mean I'm a workaholic, my mind and body needs rest and dealing with my employees everyday can be a task

I called my P.A and gave him some files to read so later I will just have to sign them

"I'm going home now you can go after reading the files or take the files home but if you are taking them home don't forget to bring it back" I informed Ronit while collecting my blazer which was hanged on the back of my chair

"Alright sir, anything else?" He asked while following me till the elevator

"Email me my tomorrow's schedule before I reach home" I said as I got in the elevator

Before he could reply anything the door closed, I reached my private parking lot and got in my matt black porsche 911 GT2, I love this one the most amongst all the cars I own, I was driving through the mumbai traffic enjoying the weather

I reached my house more like a mansion since I live in a joint family, me, my siblings and cousins were born in Mumbai but we are originally from jaipur our ancestors used to rule jaipur during the historical period, later after the monarchy was ended we stopped ruling, though we are still given respect as kings and queen we don't rule over the people of jaipur. My grandfather came to Mumbai to expand our business which was started by our family since then we settled here in Mumbai, we do visit Jaipur occasionally for vacations and festivals

Upon entering my mansion, I noticed the presence of only the workers; it was still early for the rest of the family to retire to their rooms—it was merely 6:00 in the evening. Making my way to my room, I appreciated the aesthetics: a black and gray bedroom, matching bathroom, and a balcony offering a stunning view of Mumbai.

I came out of the washroom and changed into a black hoodie and white shorts with some white socks and sneakers.

I came down and noticed everyone was in the lawn enjoying the weather, our lawn is pretty huge since we are a big family

It consists of my grandparents Raghuvendra Singh Rajput and Pushpalata Singh Rajput, my mom and dad Arjun Singh Rajput and Dhaani Singh Rajput my uncle and his wife Amit singh rajput and Gayatri singh rajput

My dad was the previous CEO and my uncle was the COO but now they gave that designation to me and my cousin and they handle the post of chairman and vice president respectfully

My parents have three children, including Aarav and Alia, who are twins. Both of them are currently in their final year of college.

Uncle and aunt have two kids Aarhan who is COO of Rajput enterprises and Nidhi who is 2 years younger than Aarhan, is working under my mom as a fashion designer since my mom has her own fashion label, and will take over my mom's company in a few years

I strolled into the lawn, greeted everyone, and settled down next to Aarhan. I inquired about a file he was supposed to complete, as he hadn't come to the office today, citing laziness as the reason.

"Ruhaan, when are you going to meet the architects and discuss the new hotel?" Dad asked and soon everyone focused on our conversation

"I'll check, wait!" I removed my phone and opened my schedule which Ronit had sent

"I've got a meeting scheduled for tomorrow at 10:00 am, they are with one of the top architect firms. Hopefully, they understand their job well, or else I might need to pull out the project. It reminds me of the last time we hired a different firm who couldn't handle the task," I commented, tucking my phone back into my pocket.

"Don't worry bhai I know they will do their work I have heard a lot of good things about them and they even designed our new canteen three years back and it's so cool" Aalia exclaimed

"Yes don't worry if they don't work properly there are other firms too who know what to do" Dad said reassuringly

"Enough of this work talk we are spending some family time so let's enjoy each other's company" Mom said firmly

We spent some time together talking about anything we had, telling how each other's day was while eating snacks

"I'm going to my room I have to do some work" I said to everyone while standing up

"Okay but come for dinner on time" Mom said as I was going from the lawn. It was already dark I thought of going to the balcony and getting some work done I have a perfect view of Mumbai skyline from the balcony

I was reading some file when my door was knocked a servant came and informed about the dinner being ready, I closed my files and laptop and went downstairs to the dining area, everyone was already gathered

I sat down on my seat with Aarav on my left Aalia and besides him, mom and dad on my left and uncle and aunt opposite to us with aarhan and nidhi besides them with grandfather on the head chair and grandma on his right side

Engaged in lively conversation during dinner, we discussed our plans for the following day. These simple yet cherished moments with my family never failed to remind me of the warmth and comfort of love

I went back to my room after dinner and sat on the couch in my room and started doing my work for a while

The evening breeze gently caressed my face as I reclined on the couch, momentarily closing my eyes to absorb the tranquility of the night, grateful for these fleeting moments of solace amidst the perpetual hustle and bustle of life.
