Love was never his plan. Not in a life carved from power, fear, and unshaken control. Ekaansh Rayala- the name that ruled Rudravaram, the man thirty-eight villages bowed to, the storm people prayed never to face. He was destruction- until she became his reason to be gentle. His anger didn't rise. It struck. His voice didn't warn. It broke. And mercy... was never part of who he was. Until he saw her. One look was all it took to rewrite a ruthless man. A girl standing too quietly in a world that would never be gentle with her- soft eyes lowered, fingers trembling, a voice so tender it barely reached beyond her lips... She healed lives with steady hands, but flinched at raised voices. The world feared him. He feared breaking her. Too kind. Too soft. Too untouched by cruelty. A heart that chose compassion-even when it cost her. A soul devoted to Mahadev... never knowing she had just stepped into the life of a man who bowed only to Mahakaal. She was everything he wasn't. And everything he suddenly couldn't live without. He didn't fall in love. He didn't even understand it. But something in him shifted the moment he saw her. Because once she became his- not even his own darkness could reach her. She flinched at his voice... so he learned to soften it for her. Bound by rituals they never chose, tied by vows spoken without love- he became her shield... and she, unknowingly, became his peace. Some stories don't begin with love. They begin with a single look- and a man who decides, without a word... she is his to protect. Picture are from Pinterest and credits goes to the owners

Her eyes fluttered open as thin streaks of sunlight slipped through the curtains and brushed against her face. She shifted instinctively, only to freeze as a sharp ache ran through her body. Slowly, she forced her eyes open wider, her gaze landing on the ceiling above-the steady rotation of a fan blurring in her vision. She stared at it blankly, her head pounding, her thoughts sluggish and tangled. A warm weight rested around her waist. Her breath caught. slowly, almost afraid of what she might find, she turned her head-and froze. A man lay beside her, his arm wrapped securely around her, as though it had been there all night.

A sharp breath escaped her lips as she clutched the duvet tightly around herself, wincing at the movement. Her gaze darted wildly around the room. Clothes were scattered everywhere. For a split second, everything stood still. Then- A piercing scream tore through the room. "AHHH!" --- --- --- "I... I'm sorry, Mumma... Dadda... I'm so sorry..."

The room was silent-too silent-as if the world itself had stepped back. please don't hate me..." she murmured, her grip tightening around the blade Tears slipped down her cheeks. "I'm... s-sorry...". Her hand trembled as she lowered the knife, pressing it against her wrist. Then she dragged the blade across. A sharp gasp escaped her lips as pain bloomed. Blood began to well up,but she didn't stop.
