"He doesn't say 'I love you.' But he changed in all the ways that yelled it." •••••••••••••• Vaani Joshi never expected love from her arranged marriage - just respect, maybe some space, and silence she could live with. Dhruv Deshmukh was exactly that: powerful, unreadable, and cold. He didn't ask her what she liked. He didn't ask how her day was. And she never asked for anything. But then he started noticing. Not her words - her silences. Not what she wanted - what she gave up. The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest. And the girl who never expected anything... is the reason he's learning how to give everything. •••••••••••••••• "Why do you always notice the things I don't say?" He looked at her for a long second. "Because you never ask. And I've never wanted to give anyone more." •••••••••••••••• Tropes: Slow-burn romance | Arranged marriage | Contemporary drama | Indian diaspora | Urban luxury + emotional intimacy | Cold ML x Soft FL | Changing for her

"You're mine now. I paid for you." "With blood." "The only currency that matters." I never believed in love at first sight. I believed in survival. In staying invisible. In protecting my best friend Tonkla, even when he made choices I couldn't stop. Then I was ripped off the streets of Bangkok and sold. They dragged me onto a stage in front of the city's most dangerous criminals and put a price on my head. That's when I saw him. Expensive suit. Face like a fallen angel. Eyes like an executioner. He looked at me like I was the only person in the room. Like he was drowning and I was air. He bid five million baht for me. Someone else bid higher. So he pulled out a gun, shot the auctioneer in the head, and took me anyway. They call him the Ice King. Bangkok's most feared mafia boss. A man who doesn't feel. Doesn't love. Doesn't want. Until me. Now I'm locked in his penthouse prison. He gives me everything except freedom. He says I'm his obsession. He watches me while I sleep. Controls my world. But he doesn't hurt me. He's... careful. Gentle, even, in his own terrifying way. And that's what scares me most. Because I'm starting to see past the monster. I'm starting to feel something I shouldn't. But I'm not the only one taken that night. My best friend was stolen too. By Another monster. And now we're both learning that obsession can look like devotion- -and that the most dangerous cage is the one you stop wanting to escape.

The story is set in early 1990s in a rural area. A bond is formed due to the promise of honour and respect. A marriage out of necessity and maybe a little bit of obsession. A girl filled with the hope of love and a guy completely enamored by her. How will their life unfold? ☆Warning :This story contains mature themes. It is completely fictional and based upon my imagination. It is inspired by the serial named "Begusarai". But only inspired, the story is completely mine. As I said before this is based in a rural area so am just giving you guys a heads up if anybody feels offended. Readers discretion is advised.
