1ST BOOK OF BRIDE SERIES✨✨ He returned to India after fourteen years to fulfill a promise he had made as a child. But now she has forgotten him and moved on with her life with someone else. Believing her cousin to be his childhood sweetheart, he is now preparing to marry her.

He was her ruin-danger wrapped in desire, a man who didn't just break things, he made them crave the fall. Cold, ruthless, and sinfully irresistible, he didn't ask... he took, leaving her drowning in the chaos he created. She was his temptation-a slow burn he should have killed, yet every glance, every breath, pulled him deeper. She wasn't his weakness... she was the fire that made his darkness come alive. In a world where love is a liability and pain is inevitable, they didn't just fall-they indulged, recklessly, obsessively, like sin they had no intention of resisting. This isn't a love story-it's a dangerous addiction, where desire tastes like ruin... and neither of them wants to be saved.

In the elite halls of High Crest University, he is feared. Revered. Untouchable. Professor Abhimanyu Chauhan is a man of many faces-one, a cold and brilliant academic; the other, a ruthless mafia king cloaked in shadows and sin. A hacker who commands empires, a killer who hides behind calm eyes and a tailored suit. For seven long years, he's watched Harshita Rathi from the shadows. His obsession. His madness. His future. But Harshita doesn't know the devil is closer than her breath. All she sees is a man she loathes-arrogant, controlling, suffocating. The professor who unnerves her. The stranger whose presence haunts her dreams. What happens when the man she despises... claims her as his bride? What happens when she realizes he's been controlling her world all along? In a world where love is possession, and obsession is lethal- Will she escape the chains of his love, or will she burn beneath it?
