Rhea Kapoor has survived a world of polished lies and diamond-cut cages. Born into privilege but haunted by secrets, she knows how to play the part-perfect daughter, obedient heiress, silent girl. Until one mistake burns it all down. Now forced into hiding, she's sent to live under the iron watch of Ares Malhotra-her father's most dangerous associate. He's cold, calculating, and terrifyingly quiet. With eyes that don't flinch, fists that don't forgive, and a mouth that knows exactly how to shut her up. Their first meeting ends with a slammed door. The second? A threat whispered against her throat. By the third, she's not sure if she wants to run from him... or to him. He wants obedience. She gives defiance. He plays rough. She bites back harder. But behind every snarky comment and cruel smirk, something darker simmers between them. Chains can restrain-but they can also bind. And when desire becomes war, love becomes a battlefield... Only one of them will break. The other will beg for it.

"I... I... I am sorry." A tear slipped from her eye. Her voice trembled with remorse as she stood before him, her heart heavy with regret. The room echoed with an eerie silence, broken only by his bitter chuckle that reverberated through the empty space. It was a laugh devoid of humor, filled instead with a great deal of anguish. "All this time I was sharing these things with you. You were making fun of me, weren't you?" His voice was laced with a mixture of anger and sadness, his eyes piercing into her soul. He took her forearms in his hands, his grip firm but gentle, and looked into her eyes, searching for answers. She could feel the weight of his accusation pressing against her chest, suffocating her. Her hands trembled as he took her forearms in his hands and looked into her eyes. The anger flickered in his gaze, but it was overshadowed by the sorrow that seemed to consume him. "While I was busy falling in love with you," he continued, his voice strained, "you were busy playing games along with your family. Weren't you?" *** They say blood is said to be thicker than water.

"𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞." He glared at her with a cold, harsh expression and said, "What am I supposed to do with you, my doll?" Fear washed over her, but she gathered her strength and begged, "Please let me go. My children need me. They're so young, and they can't survive without me, please." Tears streamed down her beautiful amber eyes, but she tried to hold back her emotions in front of him. The thought of her little ones made her feel suffocated and hopeless. The man seemed moved by her tears, but his face remained bitter as he said, "You should have thought about this before you ran away with that bastard." Shocked and hurt, she shot back, "Do you even hear what you're saying? Do you have any proof of these accusations?" She continued, "How could you think so little of me? We've been together for almost four years. I always believed you loved me." Tears filled her eyes as she added, "This isn't love-love is built on trust. I trusted you completely, never questioning why you came home late, why you seemed to hate me, or why you left me on our wedding night. Yet here you are, ruining my reputation without any proof." He ignored her desperate questions and tightened his grip on her neck, his eyes turning red with fury. "Trust? You talk about trust. It was my faith in love that kept you alive. If anyone else were in your place, I'd kill them without a second thought." She struggled to escape his choking hold, fighting desperately. Suddenly, he released her and walked away, his anger clear as he never looked back. Coughing and gasping for air, she lay there, her body trembling. Tears blurred her vision as she felt like a broken soul. The nightmare her life had become seemed overwhelming. 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤-𝟏: 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬
