She walked in like a whisper-small, soft, unaware. Too naive to sense the predator watching her from the shadows. Too fragile to survive what he had planned. Ayesha Singh thought college would be her fresh start. A chance to build a future, to make her parents proud. She didn't know that from the moment her eyes met his, her future was no longer hers. Vivaan Malhotra didn't believe in fate. He believed in control. In power. In watching the light drain slowly from something pure. And she was so pure. He didn't want her love. He wanted to ruin her. To bend her until she broke. And when she did-he'd make sure he was the only one left to pick up the shattered pieces. Because once Vivaan chose a target... He never missed. And now-she was his.

The first installment in the Caged Hearts Duet. ~~~~ Aarohi frantically looked around, dazed and scared, surrounded by sleek black cars and a wall of bodyguards armed with guns. They formed an impenetrable circle, leaving her trapped. Heart pounding, she watched in terror as Reyansh strode towards her, his steps deliberate, his eyes locked onto her like a predator nearing its prey. Tears blurred her vision as she whispered a desperate plea, "Please, let me go." Unaffected, he stopped inches away, his face morphed into a dark smile as he leaned close and murmured smoothly, "Checkmate." Before she knew it, strong hands were dragging her away, as everyone watched in silence. ~~~~ Caught in Reyansh Kashyap's obsessive web, Aarohi Singh fights tooth and nail to escape his grip. But defying the city's most powerful man, a man who holds its very pulse in his hand, may prove an impossible feat. With Reyansh willing to go to any lengths to ensure she has nowhere left to run, freedom seems further away than ever. ~~~~ Note: The story is set in an Indian background, use of regional language will be provided with English translation.

Amir turned to look at Benazira, and finding no other choice Benazira also looked at him through her eyelashes. His gaze was so intense, she had started to tremble. Her lips trembled and she started to feel cold, even tough it wasn't cold. It was the affect he had on her. Amir on the other hand had plans in his mind. They weren't supposed to have a stop unless it was his house, but when he found her looking at him secretly he couldn't help it. He took his suit off, and pulled his tie aggressively. She stared at him in a state of puzzlement, trying to figure out what was he trying to do. He pushed back his chair horizontally, so that it was flat. She blinked a couple of times, as she finally figured it out. The thing that had haunted her dreams. Her heartbeat accelerated, as she attempted to open her side of the door. It was all in vain, because it was locked. Shyness took the best of her as her eyes became teary. "You want to keep me your secret-" He muttered as he grabbed her hips and moved her on top of him. She yelped, not expecting him to be that strong. "Then let me be your little secret, Nazire." He slowly finished, as he connected his lips to her.
