Calculated
Kabir Mehra has a reputation: cold, calculating, untouchable. Every move he makes is deliberate, every glance measured. In the high-stakes world of corporate power plays, he trusts no one… until the day Anaya Kapoor walks into his life.
She’s sharp, unpredictable, and annoyingly persistent—a bright spark in his meticulously ordered world. And yet, despite himself, Kabir notices. Every flinch, every curious glance, every accidental brush of hands becomes a puzzle he can’t resist solving.
But the office isn’t just a playground for subtle tension. Allies and rivals alike circle, manipulating, teasing, and testing boundaries. Veer Malhotra, charming and deceptively warm, seems to have his own agenda. Aryan Mehra, shadowy and cryptic, knows too much. And Kabir must navigate them all while keeping control—over his work, his reputation, and, most dangerously, himself.
As Anaya becomes a constant presence in his carefully structured life, Kabir realizes one undeniable truth: some chaos is worth indulging. Some connections are impossible to ignore. And some walls… are meant to be broken.
Calculated is a male-led, slow-burn romance of tension, obsession, and the intoxicating collision between control and desire.
