prolong Away from the worldly tension and light, in the dense forest in mountains a castle lies in the middle of it. No one goes in the forest not because no one wants to go but because they can't. Every person who went in the forest never returned. People says that the forest swallowed them, that the person wasn't the one it was waiting . The forest didn't just stand, it breathes and it waits for someone. Now after so many years the wait is finally going to be over. Because now 'he' is going in the forest, the one it waited for. And when the wait will be over it will decide the future....

Amid the clash of loud voices and restless laughter, a silent boy sat apart, eyes lowered to the letter resting in his hands. He read it carefully, as though afraid the words might vanish if he rushed. A faint smile curved his lips-small, delicate, almost misplaced-carrying a meaning no one else could see. Later, in the darkness of a closed room, someone lay curled into themselves, knees pulled tight, arms locked around a trembling body. No sound escaped their mouth, yet their shoulders shook as if holding back something too large to survive. Tears soaked into fabric, hidden, unacknowledged. Outside the door, voices continued-loud, careless, unbroken-seeping through the walls like a reminder. Whoever was inside did not answer them.

"He didn't ask for permission at two years old, and he certainly isn't asking for it now." Elian Vance is the only person who can walk through the halls of Blackwood High without fear. To the rest of the world, he is the "Selective Stoic"-talkative yet cold, expressive only to those he loves, and shielded by a wall of indifference. But to Kove Blackwood, Elian isn't just a best friend. He is a permanent fixture. A prize. A possession. Their parents call it a "beautiful bond," a friendship born in a restaurant play area when they were toddlers. But Elian knows the truth. He's spent his entire life normalizing the way Kove watches him, the way Kove controls his circle, and the way Kove leans in to kiss him for no reason at all-a habit that started when they were two and never stopped. Kove is the king of his popular, brutal group of friends. He's loud with them, but silent and suffocatingly clingy with Elian. As they grow older, the "innocent" childhood kisses turn into something much darker. Kove's love isn't a sanctuary; it's a cage. And as his possessiveness turns into a hard, cold command, Elian realizes that being the only thing Kove Blackwood loves might be the most dangerous position of all. He's been marked since he could walk. Now, he has to survive being owned. ⚠️ WARNINGS ⚠️ Please read with caution.

Summary Shubman Gill is the underworld's most feared name-cold, ruthless, disciplined, and terrifyingly controlled. His marriage was meant to be nothing more than a strategic alliance with the influential Kishan family... until his bride ran away on the wedding day. To save their reputation and their lives, the Kishan family makes a desperate, unforgivable decision. They force Ishan, the younger sibling-sweet, shy, unbearably adorable, and far too innocent for the world Shubman lives in-to wear the bridal clothes and take his sister's place. Before Ishan can even process the betrayal, vows are exchanged, rings are tied, and his life is no longer his own. On their wedding night, Shubman discovers the truth. The woman he married doesn't exist. Instead, standing before him is a boy nearly ten years younger than him-legal, but naïve, untouched by cruelty, and painfully honest. Someone who should have never been dragged into blood-stained mansions and shadowed corridors. Someone who flinches at gunshots, cries silently in locked rooms, and still tries to smile. Shubman should have destroyed him. Instead... he hesitates. Bound by marriage, pride, and the vow he never intended to make, Shubman decides one thing- He will never touch Ishan. He will never force anything on him. He will give him a room, protection, and freedom within the gilded cage of the mafia world... but no emotions. No attachment. No place in his heart. But Ishan, with his stubborn kindness, clumsy innocence, unexpected courage, and the ability to talk back even while terrified, slowly begins to melt the ice around the feared mafia boss. He brings warmth into cold hallways, laughter into a deadly mansion, and softness into a life built on blood. Meanwhile, the underworld whispers. A boy-spouse. A mafia king who suddenly shields someone with his life. And Shubman realizes the cruel truth- Ishan is no weakness. He is the only thing Shubman will kill for. And the only thing he will die for.
