Are you ready to step into the world of obsession, darkness and Madness unparalleled.... --- "I only ever wanted to be ordinary. But the night I met him, everything changed. I thought it was just one night. But he made it eternity." - Ananya Sharma Rome. The heart of power. The lion's den. The air was thick with perfume, cigar smoke, and money. Beautiful women in glittering gowns. Men in silk tuxedos and diamond watches. Waiters floating through golden chandeliers like ghosts. And at the very center, he stood-like a god sculpted by war and sin. Alessandro Romano. Everyone knew him. No one spoke to him unless summoned. Breathing wrong in his presence felt like a death wish. And that night, in a crimson slit dress borrowed from a rich best friend, Ananya Sharma stumbled into that world. She didn't know how expensive the air was. She didn't know who the man watching her from across the hall was. And she didn't know the drink she nervously sipped would be her undoing. But he knew. He knew the moment she walked in, looking lost and innocent, eyes wide and lips trembling, that she would never leave his world again. Not after tonight. Not after he finally tasted her. Not after the fire she unknowingly lit inside him turned into madness. She would run. But he would chase. And the world would bleed if it tried to keep them apart.

[ON HOLD] An age gap dark romance. She wasn't afraid of his darkness; she craved it - and he let her crawl inside, knowing she'd never find the way out. • ✧ • Her obsession started innocently enough. A glance, a spark - nothing more than an attraction at first. But as days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, she couldn't escape him. He was everywhere. In her thoughts. In her dreams. And she couldn't stop herself from wanting more. He didn't make it easy, though. Cold, distant, and guarded - he kept her at arm's length. Yet, the pull between them grew stronger. Every glance, every subtle touch, sent a shock of electricity through her. And though he fought against it, something in him, too, started to stir - a feeling he wasn't willing to acknowledge. But there was a secret. One she couldn't yet uncover. He was hiding something. Something dark. And somewhere in the world, as she lost herself in him, someone was killing people, one by one - a faceless killer, leaving no trace behind. The name? No one knows, but they call 'The Phantom.' As the mystery deepened, she couldn't help but wonder... Was she falling for a man who could destroy her, or was she already lost in his web, unaware of the danger lurking just beyond the surface?

𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃'𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. Book 1 in "Dark Fate" series. "They say you can't choose who you fall in love with, and he couldn't agree more. His sister's best friend had captured his heart, and he was consumed by his obsession for her and now, he knows he would never be able to let her go because she belongs with him." • ✧ • There's a kind of love that feels like sunlight - warm, gentle, safe. And then... there's his. It's not cruel. It's not loud. It's something far more dangerous - quiet, calculated, all-consuming. He was my best friend's brother. The man I was never supposed to notice. He watched from the shadows, memorizing me without ever needing a single word. I never really knew his name... but he knew everything about me. My fears. My patterns. My dreams. Even the parts I hadn't yet discovered myself. He's always been there, just a step behind-waiting, watching, wanting. And now, he's no longer waiting. He calls it love. I don't know what to call it, only that it pulls me in like gravity - unavoidable, inescapable. There's safety in his arms, yet danger in his silence. Gentleness in his touch, yet fire in his gaze. And somewhere in the tension between fear and longing, I find myself unraveling. Because the scariest part of being wanted like this... Is realizing you might want them back.
