"Mom... Dad..??" I ask aloud, waiting to hear those calming voices of my parents, my anchors, but all I hear is haunted, hollow silence. No No No, please god, please keep them safe, safe from any danger, safe from HIM. A shriek leaves my mouth as I feel arms wrap around me. I don't even need to look back to know who it is; No one dares to touch me because if they did, they'd have to face him. "Shhh, what happened, baby?" A sob leaves me, as his voice enters my ears, "Please, Reyansh, I am sorry, *hic**hic* please don't hurt my parents, don't punish them for what I did. I promise I will never run away from you again.*hic* " Tears stream down my face, but I don't care to wipe them anymore. I knew it was a mistake to even think about running away from him, but I still did, just for that false hope of freedom. "It's okay, darling, there's no need to cry, hmmm. You knew that running away was a mistake, but you love to get on my nerves. And now I have found you, so it's all okay. You can run as many times as you want, but in the end, I will always have you." His guards fill the room. "But you know, trying to escape makes you a bad boy, right?" He speaks in a haunting whisper, "and bad boys get punished." ******************************************************* Aarav Sharma, a 20-year-old sweet boy, is in his 3rd year of college. When he is selected for an internship at his best friend's brother's company, he believes that soon he will fulfil all his dreams, make his parents proud and give them the luxury they could never afford. But his life takes a sharp turn when his boss claims him as his. Reyansh Singh Rathore, a 27-year-old billionaire, has a secret that no one except his dad knows: Aarav, his sister's best friend, is also his obsession. What started as a crush at 15 turns darker when he sees other people looking at what is his.

She walked in like a whisper-small, soft, unaware. Too naive to sense the predator watching her from the shadows. Too fragile to survive what he had planned. Ayesha Singh thought college would be her fresh start. A chance to build a future, to make her parents proud. She didn't know that from the moment her eyes met his, her future was no longer hers. Vivaan Malhotra didn't believe in fate. He believed in control. In power. In watching the light drain slowly from something pure. And she was so pure. He didn't want her love. He wanted to ruin her. To bend her until she broke. And when she did-he'd make sure he was the only one left to pick up the shattered pieces. Because once Vivaan chose a target... He never missed. And now-she was his.

She is just a girl who wants a life where no pain exists but life has another one planned for her. Afsana Bansal was getting married with Isharth Purohit but on the wedding day he was gone. She married her elder brother Dhritaansh Purohit who was mysterious , toxic and rich. She had no idea that her destiny and she was her self claimed by a devil. ---------- Afsana took a deep breath and said, "Can I join college again? Just a month before the wedding, Papa had stopped me from going, but now can I-" She was about to say more when suddenly a soft cry escaped her lips. She immediately looked at her hand. Dhritansh's grip on it had become much stronger than before. He was looking at her without any expression. Afsana quickly looked at him and said, "Dhritansh ji, what are you doing? It's hurting me." Dhritansh replied in the same tone, "What were you saying?" Afsana wasn't even focused on speaking anymore. She kept looking at her hand, trying to free it. Finally, she shouted, "Dhritansh ji, stop it!" Dhritansh seemed to snap out of it all of a sudden. He looked at her hand and said, "I'm sorry, Gulabo. I'm really sorry." Saying that, he gently kissed her palm and looked back at her face. Afsana stared at him in surprise. Dhritansh placed his hand on her cheek and asked, "Did it hurt too much?" -----------
