"Behave," she whispered. "If you say my name like that," he replied, "I will forget why I'm behaving." "You're killing me here, baby." "Don't look at me like that-not when I've spent ten days learning how to breathe without you." --- I was twenty-four when my future was decided in a room I didn't control. He was thirty-two and already owned cities. They called it an arranged marriage. I called it a mistake. Raghav Oberoi didn't ask for my consent, he waited for my surrender. Cold eyes. Iron control. A presence that made rooms go silent. A man who didn't raise his voice... because he never had to. I wanted to hate my husband. But how do you hate a man who looks at you like losing you would ruin him? This is not a gentle love story. It's obsession disguised as devotion. A marriage built on power, broken by love, and sealed by fire.

"No, Dadii!!! She will stay with me!" Raghav's voice pierced through the quiet drawing room like a crack in glass. His small face, flushed with frustration, quivered with determination. At only ten years old, he already spoke with the authority of a prince one who was never denied anything. Dadii looked down at him with a mix of confusion and unease. "She's... the cleaner's daughter, Raghav. You shouldn't befriend someone like her." "I don't care!" he shouted, fists clenched. "I want her. Only her." There was a pause. A long one. Mrs Malhotra exchanged a glance with Raghav's mother, who stood nearby, her expression tight and unreadable. Finally, She exhaled. "Alright, alright," she muttered, defeated by love. "How can I go against your wish, my prince?" 🍁 "Rajesh," said the madam of the house, her manicured fingers drumming against the polished wood of her chair. "We want your daughter to stay here." Rajesh blinked, unsure if he had heard correctly. "Madam... but she's just a child." "Your child," she said coldly, "is now important to our raghav, he wants her." She paused, letting the words sink in before leaning back. "Twenty thousand monthly. You'll get it if she stays. If she obeys." Rajesh lowered his eyes to the floor. He had never seen such money in his life. "Okay, madam," he whispered, heart sinking. "She will stay. She will do whatever the prince says." ************ Peep into joining the journey of betrayal, love and Unconditional trust.

" I can't ... I can't stay away from you jaan" He pressed the photo to his chest, "You think I will give up? That I will forget you?"His voice dropped to a dark whisper "No, Tara. You are not something I can lose." He kissed the photo's surface his lips trembling. "You do not get to decide for both of us. You are mine. Tum meri thi, hao .. aur rahogi." (You were mine, you are mine... and you'll always be mine.) He threw back the last of the alcohol, the bottle clinking against the wall and shattering into a thousand pieces. . . Story of dev and tara
