#1 lawyers✨ Two lawyers. Academic rivals. Courtroom enemies. Saanvi Mehra is brilliant, relentless, and impossible to break. She's spent years fighting her way to the top, only to find Veer Raizada standing in her way. The man who hates her the most. Cold. Calculated. Cruel. From law school to courtrooms, their rivalry has always been war. Every case is a battle. Every glance, a challenge. Every word, a weapon. He wants to see her lose. He wants to break her. She refuses to fall. She refuses to break. But when a buried past begins to surface, dragging secrets neither of them are ready to face, the lines between hate and something far more dangerous. Obsession. It starts to blur. And just when they think it couldn't get worse... They're bound in an arranged marriage neither of them saw coming.

🛑Triggering events and detailed description of sex... Kriti Mukherjee who is against arranged marriage getting set up into one with Ayushmaan Chakraborty. How would it turn out to be.. Kriti is ready to begin again. Or at least, that's what she tells herself when her marriage is arranged with Ayushmaan-a man as composed as he is unreadable. But beneath the rituals and rehearsed smiles, both carry pasts that refuse to stay buried. Kriti has already come close to losing herself once. Ayushmaan... he's loved someone no one can name, a shadow that lingers where answers should be. As their lives intertwine, the question isn't whether they can build a future together- it's whether they can survive the truth of who they used to be. Warning.. flashbacks, mentions of dark past. Some triggering incident may be revealed in future.

Delhi's underworld has never seen a man like Ekansh Virk. A cold-blooded, calculating, and loyal only to one man: Dhanush Ahlawat, the most feared mafia lord in the city. His life is built on violence and silence, on orders that leave no space for weakness. Until her. Aayesha Ahlawat...too bold for her own good, too stubborn to fear him, too beautiful to ignore. She lives in the safest part of Delhi, untouched by the blood and fire that fuels his world. But one accidental encounter is all it takes for Ekansh's control to crack. Her sharp tongue, her infuriating confidence, and the way she looks at him like she can see past his darkness make him restless, hungry, and dangerous. And then the cruel twist, she is Dhanush's biological sister, the one strictly off-limits woman. Duty should have killed the temptation. But instead, it chains him closer. Dhanush orders him to guard her day and night and keep her safe at any cost. Now she is in his world's protection, under his watch, under his skin. Every glance becomes torture. Every argument sets his blood on fire. Every time she walks away from him, it feels like betrayal. He wants to protect her from the shadows that hunt her but more than that, he wants to mark her as his, drag her into the very darkness she should fear. Ekansh Virk has fought wars and buried men alive, but nothing has ever felt as dangerous as resisting her. Because this temptation is not just forbidden - it's lethal. And in the end, either his loyalty will break... or she will.

"I hate you." My voice cracks as I tell him. His feet stop at the door. I clutch the bedsheet tightly around my chest as he turns around with an emotionless face. "Then there will be a lot of hate fucking between us." A smirk curve his lips as his green eyes rake over my body with the heat of conquest. Hot rage flows through my veins and I glare back at him with so much hatred for what he did to me. "Breakfast at sharp 8:10. You remember, right?" He smirks arrogantly and walks out of the room with his warnings. WARNING: FORCED SXX BOOK!! 🔞 * * * * * * * * * * * Dakota Black was a man cloaked with charisma and power. But I made him a monster.

[WARNING - EXPLICIT CONTENT] I pulled my elbow from his death grip. "You're ashamed of me. Admit it. You hate the idea of been seen with me." I shot venomous accusations his way. He didn't look at me. I'd rejected his kiss, pushed him away from and in return he'd turned cold and cruel, again. He'd shown nothing but hatred for me in public yet held me with aching tenderness when it was just us. I was sick of his games. He needed to decide whether he wanted me or not. "You parade new girls daily in front of my eyes," a sob escaped my throat. "And don't even deny you don't occasionally screw Charlotte behind my back." His ice blue eyes pierced my soul with his sharp gaze. He was teetering on the verge of lashing out on me. "How would you feel if I did the same to you, huh?" I pushed at his stiff chest. "Had several boyfriends, invited them to our home." His eyes cut to me, and a look darker than I've ever seen clouded his features I gestured to our grandiose home bought by his dizzying wealth. "And parade them right in front--" Before I knew it, I was face down and nearly suffocated by the soft material of our couch, I barely noticed my skirt pushed upwards and panties shoved aside. "You're my goddamn wife, Astoria. I will not tolerate your defiance." The sound of his belt loosening, zipper lowering, he entered me violently taking my breath with him.

I will be dirt poor and your family will be fired." "Then divorce and set me free. I am done being your dirty secret."
