Some debts are paid in blood. Zayran Malik chose a different currency. Aayat Raichand has spent her career inside the minds of dangerous men. She never expected to live in one's house. When her father is arrested on charges she knows in her bones are wrong, Aayat has exactly forty-eight hours and zero options. The man sitting across from her with an unsigned contract and her father's freedom in his hands is Zayran Malik, feared mafia king, renowned trauma surgeon, and the last person on earth she would choose. The terms are simple. Marry him. One year. No questions about his business. No contact with her father. She signs. Their marriage is a cold war conducted in expensive rooms. He is controlled where she expected cruelty. Distant where she expected dominance. He gives her space she didn't ask for and draws lines she cannot cross. She studies him the way she studies every dangerous thing carefully, clinically, from a safe distance. The distance doesn't hold. Because the longer Aayat lives inside Zayran's silence, the more she finds things that don't add up. Not just about her father's case. About him. About the grief he carries like a second skeleton. About the way he looks at her sometimes... like she is something he has been waiting a very long time to lose. She is a forensic psychologist. She knows what a man hiding something looks like. She just isn't prepared for what he's hiding. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Cruel Devotion is a dark romance about a forced marriage, a buried truth, and a love so carefully concealed it nearly destroyed everything it was trying to protect. Some monsters are made by grief. Some are made by the wrong kind of trust. And some were never monsters at all.
