"I can't marry you, Sir. This is not the way I want to be tied down into married life." She whispers, her voice trembling under the weight of her own breaking world. Her eyes are swollen with tears, her soul frayed at the edges. "But I don't think you have any other option left rather than accepting the contract. So, just agree with my decision or believe me, you won't like the consequences." He replies coldly, every word cutting deeper than the last. There is no remorse in his voice. No softness in his eyes. Just control. Just a warning. . . . He is not just her professor. He is a feared business mogul as well, known for his ruthless decisions and lack of mercy. She is a single mother, desperately trying to protect her son and survive the past she thought she had buried long ago. But when he uncovers her deepest, most dangerous secret, one that could destroy her life in a heartbeat: he doesn't give her the chance to explain. He gives her a choice: marry him under the terms of a cold, emotionless contract... or watch her world collapse. Bound by fear. Tied by power. A marriage that was never meant to be anything more than a deal. But what happens when a lifeless contract begins to stir emotions neither of them asked for? When buried scars surface... And when the lines between right and wrong blur inside the walls of a forced relationship? This is not a story of love at first sight. This is a story of control, consequences, and finding strength in the very place she was meant to break.

"How dare you!!!" She screamed And... Slapped him hard across his face. But she had no clue who she was messing with or how easily he could destroy her. His lips curled into a dark smirk. Without a word, he fired his gun into the air and barked, "Start preparing for the goddamn wedding." Before she could even process what was happening, he hoisted her over his shoulder and stormed straight to the mandap set up for her cousin's wedding. Slamming her down, he hissed, "That slap just made you my wife." In one brutal motion, he filled her hairline with sindoor, sealing her fate in the most explosive way possible. Her life was no longer her own-𝘐𝘵 𝘞𝘢𝘴 𝘏𝘪𝘴. 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝟏𝟖+ | 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 | 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫

Rihaan : "Anya is like the sun... she's the one who makes everything warm and bright, even when I'm scared. I think, if I hold onto her long enough, maybe the world will stay like that-soft and warm, and I won't have to worry about the dark." Ananya : "I would break myself a thousand times if it meant he could stay unbroken. His heart is a fragile thing, and mine will always be the shield that holds him safe from a world that doesn't deserve his light." _______ In the sequel to Innocence, life for Ananya and Rihaan is messy, yet beautifully tangled. Their days are filled with laughter, love, and the subtle ache of a past Rihaan can't fully recall. Ananya, ever the protector, cherishes his innocence, but beneath the childlike demeanor lies a brokenness he's unable to confront. One day, the cracks in Rihaan's facade begin to show. His playful nature falters, and the depth of his trauma surfaces. Ananya is forced to confront a truth she's long feared: Rihaan's past is far darker than she ever imagined. When Raj, Rihaan's brother, finally reveals the horrors he endured in his childhood, Ananya makes it her mission to heal him, to strip away the layers of pain and replace them with love. But Rihaan's mind-torn between the child he once was and the man he's supposed become-resists. The harder Ananya tries, the deeper the battle becomes, as Rihaan's past and present collide in ways neither of them can control. In the end, can love heal what the mind refuses to remember? Or will the ghosts of his past break them both?

Saisha Yadav has spent her entire life confined within the walls of her home, sheltered from the world by her strict parents. No phone, no friends beyond the village, and no dreams outside the boundaries they set for her. She never questioned it-until she was married to a man who belonged to a world she had never seen. Pranay Mishra left his village at eighteen, chasing a life that could offer him more than just survival. Photography became his passion, his escape, and eventually his profession. He never imagined returning to the village he left behind, but an old vow forces him into a marriage he never planned for. Saisha is everything he isn't-innocent, untouched by the world, and caged in traditions she never questioned. But when her wide-eyed wonder meets his hunger for the unknown, something shifts. As he takes her hand and shows her a world she never knew existed, their hearts collide in ways neither expected. With every stolen glance, every whispered secret, and every touch that lingers a little too long, they find themselves standing at the edge of something life-changing. "But love isn't just about discovering each other-it's about finding yourself in someone else."

In a cruel twist of fate, two broken souls find themselves caught in an unlikely and complex situation. They are polar opposites in the most extreme way: one is anger and despair, the other sees themselves as guilt and emptiness. They can't stand each other, yet as they gradually peel back the layers of the others' existence, they realize they may be far more similar than they ever imagined. ~~~~ 'I thought I had my life in order, but the devil stepped into my life and stole all that I knew. He broke into my life with twisted grace and relentless determination. He had his eyes on me, and to him, I was just prey. He tracked me down like a hunter pursuing its prey and wasn't going to let me go without a struggle.' Will these two messed-up souls be able to find their way back??? Will they find their Calm within someone's Storm, or will they part ways??? Or will it remain an unsaid confession of forbidden love??? To know about it, Happy Reading ;)
