Prologue She was unconscious for four days. No one from her family came to see her. Her heart broke. She was in the hospital, yet no one cared enough to visit. Even after everything that had happened to her, she remained alone. As she walked slowly through the hospital corridor, her legs weak and her body aching, she saw them-her family. They stood there, talking in hushed voices. Relief and pain twisted inside her as she limped toward them. Then, without warning, a sharp slap struck her cheek. She stood frozen, numb not from the impact but from the words that followed. "Are you at peace finally? She has been raped because of you. Look at her condition, she is dying." A broken smile formed on her lips. Anyone could see her own ruined state-anyone but them. Once again, they had played their game. Once again, she was the one proven guilty. She wanted to scream, to tell them the truth. "It wasn't her who was raped. It was ME." But no words came out. Only silence.

Her husband. Her nightmare. Her Devil. Her lover. He is back. Bound by blood, fuelled by vengeance. A legacy of sin. A fate she cannot escape.

Don't come closer... please... I'm your sister's best friend...He stripped away not just her clothes, but her safety, her dignity, her sense of being. He was lost in a place of his own shattered trust, where the only thing he could silence was his own pain-by giving it to someone else...... In the heart of Delhi's luxury and silence, three lives intertwine-Raya, the gentle sister; Abhishek Rana, a powerful man with a storm beneath his calm; and Aayna, a bright, soft-hearted girl trying to survive a world that never gave her a choice. > ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains graphic depictions of rape, physical and emotional abuse, violence, and suicidal themes.

''Mujhe qaid karke tumhe sukoon milta hai, Yuvraj?" arohi said Yuvraj said calmly. "Sukoon? Nahi, Arohi... sukoon toh tumhari saanson mein hai." Arohi was angry "Tumhe sirf badla chahiye tha. Main tumhari dushman hoon." Yuvraj steps closer "Galat. Tum mere dushman ki beti ho... Par meri kamzori bhi." Arohi said "Toh phir yeh sab kyun? Yeh zanjeeren, yeh qaid?" Yuvraj says soft but dangerous "Taaki tum kahin aur na chali jao. Taaki duniya tumhe chhoo bhi na sake." Arohi says hurt whisper "Yeh mohabbat nahi... junoon hai." Yuvraj leans closer "Mohabbat sharif log karte hain, Arohi. Main toh bas tumhe apna banane aaya hoon." Arohi said "Main kabhi tumhari nahi ho sakti." Yuvraj smirks "Dekhte hain... Dil pe kab tak tumhara control rehta hai "don't fall in love with me. i'm a devil." he warned. "i know. but still I want you." she smiled. "do you even know what a devil is?" he questioned. "an angel filled with pain." she kissed on his forehead two broken souls scarred with the wounds from their demons, playing a dangerous game of trust and love "I look at you, and it terrifies me. It terrifies me what I would do for you." .

A slow smile spread across his face. "I think God is finally on my side." My heart dropped. "Yadav..." he looked at Baba, "not only will you suffer death..." His voice turned colder. "You'll suffer through your daughter's screams too." --- "No..." I whispered, backing away. He started walking toward me. I clung to Baba, my body shaking violently. "Please..." Baba begged, his voice breaking for the first time. "Leave her... she has nothing to do with this..." But he didn't listen. He grabbed my arm and yanked me away. "BABA!" I screamed. He dragged me toward one of the rooms. I fought. Kicked. Scratched. "Leave me! Please! Let me go!" The door slammed shut. He threw me on bed..... PS - Not a love story.

Aastik - A mercilessly tycon by day and the darkest nightmare in someone's life by night. A man who found peace in the shadows because LOVE was a luxury he was never meant to have.
