"Aisa pyaar karunga ki duniya yaad rakhegi"

For centuries, the Rathores and the Rajvanshs shared one thing. Hatred. A hatred so deep that even time failed to bury it. But Rivaan Singh Rathore never cared about old stories. Until the day he saw her. A girl with charcoal eyes and a smile he couldn't forget. He searched for her like a madman. Across cities. Across countries. Only to discover that she never existed. At least, not under the name she had given him. And when fate finally revealed her identity... It wasn't love that shook his world. It was her surname. Rajvansh. The name his family had spent generations despising. The name he should have hated. The name he became obsessed with. Because Avya Rajvansh wasn't just his enemy. She was his downfall. And Rivaan Rathore had never been afraid of falling.

"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOK

He was her first love... and she was his forever. Mahir Raisinghania-cold, powerful, and dangerously obsessive-left behind the only girl he ever loved to chase his ambitions abroad. Five years... that's all it took to turn love into longing, and longing into obsession. She waited. Not for his promises-but for the love she never received from her own family. A multi-billionaire's daughter, surrounded by everything... yet deprived of the one thing she craved the most-love. He was her only happiness. And when he left, even that was taken away. Now she's not the same girl anymore. The laughter is gone... the spark has faded... and the dimples he once adored have disappeared with time. She found her silence in colors, her pain in paintings... and her peace in loneliness. But when Mahir returns-still madly, obsessively in love with her- will he be able to heal the girl he left behind... or will his love break her even more?
