I hate her. But I love her a little too much in desi fits. Draped in elegance, she walks toward me. And as I sit in the wedding aisle, surrounded by rituals and vows I never asked for, she becomes the only thing my eyes can see. Astara Bharadw- No. MRS. ASTARA PARISKSHIT RAGHUVANSHI My soon-to-be wife. The one person I claim to despise. And yet, her mere existence makes my heart betray me. That is what I hate most about her. This marriage was never her choice. It wasn't fate's either. It was mine. I planned it. I arranged it. I told the world it was two powerful families coming together. The Bharadwajs and the Raghuvanshis. A union built on tradition, respect, and old expectations. That part was true. What I didn't say was this-I couldn't let her be someone else's wife. I knew everything about her. Her habits. Her fears. The way she goes quiet when she's hurt. I watched from a distance long before I stood beside her at the altar. She sits beside me, and the first thing I notice is her hand, extended as the pandit asks. Her palm. Her palm is adorned with intricate henna-dark, impossibly dark. How? I never loved her. Then why is her mehndi this deep? The thought cuts sharp. Did she write another man's name on her skin? My jaw tightens at the thought. That made me twist my neck. If she did, that man is already dead in my mind. Because whether I want it or not, once something becomes mine, it belongs only to me. ONLY MINE. ................🪷................ To know what happened next, step into the pages of this book. I promise-you'll feel every heartbeat 💗✨

It all started with a tea post. Fun, quirky, and a little too clever for its own good. The anonymous page, simply titled "Spill the manuscript ," had a habit of dishing out scandalous truths about popular authors. At first, it was petty gossip-about a ghostwriter, who was faking book signings, who plagiarized fanfiction. The book community laughed, gossiped, and watched the follower count climb for the tea page. Until the first body was found. Three days after the page posted a scathing exposé on bestselling romance author , her body turned up in the nearby forest with her latest book on her chest . At first, it seemed like a sick coincidence. Then came another thriller writer accused by the page of manipulating his way onto the bestseller list. Three days later, he was found dead in his library with his latest book on his chest. By the time the third author died, the pattern was undeniable. A new post. Three days. A body. The book community panicked. Interviews were canceled. Signings were suspended. And still, "Spill the manuscript" kept posting. Fun. Quirky. Deadly. Each murder mirrored something mentioned in the post. Each post hinted at secrets no one should've known. And each victim was killed in a way that symbolized their work. The killer wasn't just spilling tea. They were scripting death. And with every sip, the countdown began again...
