"A wedding meant for love... stolen by madness." _______________________________________ Him: "Who deserves punishment, biwi?" Her: (barely audible, heart pounding) "M-me..." Him: (tilting her chin up, voice dark and unwavering) "And where, biwi? On our bed... or in the ashes of the man who dared to crave what's mine?" Her: (whimpering, body trembling) "P-please..." Him: (low chuckle, deadly possessive) "No, biwi. Please what?" He leaned in, his breath a sinful caress against her trembling lips. "Please what, baby? Use your words." "Beg me to break you. Beg me to make you mine-completely-until even your soul moans my name." His grip tightened, his fingers tracing fire down her skin. "Say it-" Her: (shuddering, surrendering) "Yours..." His lips hovered, his voice a dark whisper, laced with devotion and madness. ________________________________________ "You are the prayer my soul has bled for through lifetimes." "The flame my darkness bows before." "The only truth my chaos kneels to." "And now, biwi, you are bound to me-not by fate, not by destiny-by me." This isn't just dominance. This is obsession, possession, destruction, and worship-wrapped in the most sinful kind of love. Get ready to step into a world where love turns lethal, obsession burns wild, and surrender is the only escape.

Book-1 in "BLOOD & VOW SAGA series (STANDALONE) He is the beast beneath every throne. She is the calm before the deadliest storm. Riyansh Singh Rajput mafia lord, ruthless ruler of the underworld, and a man with no room for mercy. His hands are stained with blood, his mind sharper than any weapon, and his heart? Frozen long ago. Betrayal isn't forgiven it's buried. And anything that dares to take her away from him... is a walking corpse. Aradhya Rai Singhania a soft-spoken med-student with dream of becoming cardiac surgeon cloaked in grace and serenity. With a voice like prayer and presence like divinity, she walks the world unaware of the power pulsing in her veins. But beneath her delicate surface lies a fury even destruction fears a wrath not even Lord Shiva himself would interrupt. She believes in gods. He only believes in her. She bows to Shiv-Shakti. He worships the ground she walks on. When this fire meets ice, will it burn down the world... or build an empire of fate, devotion, and chaos?

My Husband, My Tormentor I never imagined my life would take such a sharp turn. Everything seemed to be going well-I had escaped from my past to start fresh in a new country, a new city. But he ruined those plans. His entry into my life was unexpected-maybe even unwanted. I agreed to marry him, foolishly thinking he would tire of me and set me free, that I'd slip back into the life I'd dreamed of. But he flipped my world, locked every door, and cut off every path. Now, there's no way out. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. Nowhere to go but back to him. Still, I cling to a sliver of hope. can I escape from him? Can I... or can't I? | | Mature content 18+| |
