Prologue

Dear Reader,

Welcome! 🤍

A small request before you begin this journey...

Please be patient with the characters.

Not everyone will receive a full introduction immediately, and that's intentional.

This story is written the way people enter our lives—in pieces.

You'll meet characters before you truly understand them.

Some will seem mysterious.

Some will seem ordinary.

Some may even mislead you.

As the story unfolds, every important character will receive their own proper introduction, backstory, and purpose.

So don't worry if you don't know everything right away.

Trust the journey.

Pay attention to the details.

Laugh at the chaos.

Feel the emotions.

And most importantly...

Enjoy becoming a part of this wonderfully dysfunctional family.

Happy reading! 🤍

PROLOGUE

Every family has a story.

Some are built by blood.

Some are built by promises.

And some...

...are built by choosing each other, over and over again.

This isn't just a story about the Mafia.

It isn't just a story about billionaires.

It isn't even a story about power.

It's about a little girl who spent five years waiting at an orphanage gate...

...and four brothers who never stopped searching for the one person they called home.

You'll laugh with them.

Cry with them.

Get frustrated with them.

And maybe...

Fall in love with this wonderfully chaotic family.

But remember—

Not everyone is who they seem.

Some smiles hide scars.

Some silences hide wars.

And sometimes...

The person you trust the most is the one you should fear the most.

So take your time.

Notice the little details.

Because in this story...

Nothing is written without a reason.

Welcome to the Singhania family.

And welcome...

...to the story of Riya – Their Little Menace.
