He held the gun against her temple. She pounded on his chest, fists flying. "You killed my father! You... you monster! I hate you!" He didn't flinch. After a moment, his patience snapped. "Enough!" he shouted. "No more words." "Yes... I killed your father. I did." "Stop screaming!"he barked. He grabbed her jaw, forcing her to look at him. "Now... it's time to get married. Let's go. The priest is waiting. We don't want to make him wait, do we... hmm?" She spat on his face. He just smirked. Licked the spit from his lips, rolling his tongue. "Mmm... tasty," he said, voice low. "You should've kissed me directly. No worries... we'll do it after our wedding." He leaned closer. "Do you want to see his dead body... hmm? One last look at your father?" She whispered, trembling, "Please... let me go." " You don't want to? Okay... let me throw his body away then." "No! I... I want to see him, please. He is my father !" "Good girl," he said, smirk still dark. "Now... come on. The priest is waiting." 𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘮. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. 𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦.

In a world where power means everything, she becomes the obsession of a man everyone fears, the devil himself. Escape was never an option. Falling for him? That was her biggest mistake.

When London-bred Riya Saxena visits her ancestral village, she expects boredom, not a life-changing scandal. Modern, rebellious, and unapologetically free, Riya has no intention of bending to outdated traditions. But one accidental kiss with Dhruv Malhotra, the ruthless heir to a powerful legacy and future ruler of 65 villages, changes everything. In a place where honor outweighs freedom, a single moment sparks chaos. To protect family reputation, Dhruv's iron-willed mother makes one unforgivable decision: Riya will marry Dhruv. Forced into a world of ghunghat, control, and suffocating expectations, Riya refuses to surrender. But Dhruv is no ordinary village head. He is powerful. Possessive. Bound by duty. And as rebellion clashes with tradition, hatred slowly ignites into something far more dangerous... Love. In a marriage neither wanted, can two broken worlds survive each other? Or will legacy destroy them both?

To punish her for a past she didn't write. To watch her shatter and never feel a thing. Exactly- he wanted to. Because somewhere between the ropes and the rage, the punishment and the pleasure- She became the only thing real in his twisted world. He took her for revenge. But she'll be the one to destroy him- One sin, one kiss, one scream at a time. In this game of fire and control... someone's about to burn. Will she just be a pawn in his revenge?

When Shreya's brother's wedding brings laughter, colors, and celebration into her home, she never expects danger to walk through the same doors. But the night she falls-quite literally-into the arms of Rudra, her world changes forever. Rudra isn't just a guest. He's the ruthless mafia king her family owes a debt to. Cold, powerful, and feared by all-except by the girl who dares to look into his eyes. For Rudra, it was obsession at first sight. For Shreya, it was the beginning of her ruin. Now, bound by a debt her family cannot repay, she is caught in a dangerous dance between fear and desire, innocence and obsession, light and shadow. And Rudra will stop at nothing to claim what fate has placed in his arms. Because in his world, love isn't gentle-it's Junoon

""You want to run away, kitten?" he asked, his voice frighteningly calm. "Tell me... you wanted to get away from me?" "N-no... p-please. I-I'm sorry." She clasped her trembling hands together. His eyes were filled with a rage that made her blood run cold. She curled into herself, burying her face between her knees, desperately trying to make herself smaller. He caught her by the ankle and dragged her toward him. She screamed. Her eyes widened when she saw the glowing iron rod in his hand. Every breath caught in her throat as terror consumed her. "I-I'll never do it again! Please... leave me! Please forgive me this once!" He slowly raised the rod. Her scream tore through the room. And then- silence. He lowered it without a word, his expression unreadable. "Remember this fear, kitten," he whispered coldly. "The next time you think about running from me... remember exactly why you should never try."

In the heart of Rajasthan, where power is inherited and loyalty is demanded, love is the most dangerous rebellion. Shivaay Rathore-cold-hearted, disciplined, and destined to be the future King-is a man who bows to duty, not desire. Feared by his enemies and revered by his people, his world is built on control and legacy. But when his grandmother brings home a quiet, innocent village girl from Sitamgarh, his carefully ordered life begins to fracture. Isha Singh-an orphan raised in silence, shaped by struggle-is thrust into a world of silk and secrets. Chosen by fate, or perhaps by obsession, she steps into a palace where she belongs to no one... and yet, catches the eye of the man who rules it. A forced marriage. A forbidden love. She was never meant to be his queen. But he? He was always destined to fall. #1 in #royalfamily (29 may, 2025), (1 june, 2025) (3 june, 2025) (17 june, 2025) #2 in #forcedmarriage (29 may, 2025) #1 in #Indian (29 may, 2025) (3 june, 2025) (11 june, 2025) (17 june, 2025) #1 in #dark romance (29 may, 2025)

╰┈➤𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤-1 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 They were school sweethearts - Their love was soft, unspoken, and filled with laughter. Until one day, she shattered him in ways no one else ever could. She thought ending it would set them free,but he refused to let her go -not when his heart still beat for her. Because his devotion wasn't fragile; it was fierce, consuming, and eternal. He waited. He longed. He haunted the memories of her smile,the silence of her absence. No matter how far she ran,his soul always knew the way back to her. For she was never just a chapter of his past -she was his destiny,his devotion,his belonging love. 𝐀𝐛𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐮 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞 × 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐡𝐢 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚 ── .✦

✧ 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 #2 𝐢𝐧 '𝐇𝐈𝐒' 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 :- Some marriage may not begin with love but, they end with it. ••••••••• "I hope you realized you made the worst fucking decision of your life." I could feel his cold icy honey brown eyes piercing through my soul. "Mahir..." He slams both of my wrists against the wall as I winces from the pain from my wrists. Tears threatening to fall down from my eyes when he tightened his grip on my wrist. "You'll never have a place in my life, let alone in my heart, do you understand?" His voice rises as he clenches his jaw tightly. I whimpered, he leans in close enough to the point where our lips were inches apart, I shuddered. "I said, do you fucking understand?" I immediately jumped in fear nodding my head. "Y-Yes."
