Dark romance|18+ | after chapter 24, available on stck She was raised to obey. He was trained to command. At twenty-one, she has lived her entire life quietly-studying in a government college, lowering her eyes, learning early that silence keeps the peace. When her family arranges her marriage, no one asks what she wants. They never have. At thirty-one, he is an Army Major with an unyielding reputation. Disciplined. Cold. Uninterested in marriage. He agrees only to satisfy his family-expecting a demanding bride, tears, tantrums, resistance. What he gets is a girl who doesn't argue. Doesn't complain. Doesn't rebel. Her obedience unsettles him more than defiance ever could. "You will sleep in my room from tonight," he said-already turning away, as if her fear was irrelevant. In a household where expectations are brutal and love is conditional, she is tested at every step. Mistaken for weakness. Pushed further into silence. And as she fades into the background, something dangerous begins to shift between them. Because he was never taught how to be gentle. And she was never taught how to say no.

"The villain's Rise" This story begins with an orphaned child who lives in a cremation ground... he is adopted by a man, who has a three-day old daughter. (Chapters 1-3) As the story progresses, we enter the world of high school life, where we see the young girl fall in love with that orphaned child. We also meet new characters, including the orphaned child's half-brother, who attends the same school. High school life is a time when everyone experiences their first love, and this story is no exception. (Chapters 3-29) But does the orphaned child also fall in love with someone or his life purpose is something else? From Chapter 22 onwards, the story takes a hybrid approach, blending high school life with the introduction of the mafia king. Mafia king is a renowned person of the city and underworld, everyone feared by his name , he always wears black outfit with a mask, till yet no one sees his face. Initially, the mafia king appears to be soft, kind, and empathetic. However, his brutal, arrogant, and inhumane nature is slowly revealed, he is doing everything for his mother. But then the young girl's path crosses with the mafia king, but the story takes a twist when it is revealed that the mafia king is actually someone who's very close to that young girl. This story doesn't have a traditional hero; instead, the villain can be seen as the hero. Thankyou 🙏 ♦️Contain - mature themes Strong language Violence
