She was sweet, soft, and full of sunshine. He was forged in shadows, a man the world feared to name. When Prachi Sharma agrees to a forced marriage to protect her family, she has no idea what awaits her. Not a husband-but a storm in the form of Aarav Rathore: cold, ruthless, and bound by no law but his own obsession. He doesn't just love-he possesses. And once she wears his ring, there's no turning back. "You're mine, Prachi. In life, in death, and in every sin in between." But in a world painted in blood and secrets, can love truly bloom? Or will she lose herself trying to survive a man who would burn the world for her?
