[𝐌𝐚𝐟𝐢𝐚 𝐗 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫] "Fᴀʟʟɪɴɢ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏsᴛ ʀᴜᴛʜʟᴇss ᴍᴀꜰɪᴀ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄɪᴛʏ? Iᴛ ɪsɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛʜᴏsᴇ Wᴀᴛᴛᴘᴀᴅ ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇs ʏᴏᴜ sᴄʀᴏʟʟ ᴛʜʀᴏᴜɢʜ ᴀᴛ ᴍɪᴅɴɪɢʜᴛ." ACP Tara Ahuja has spent her career chasing a truth buried with her parents. Names, files, silences. Justice, if it still exists. Abhiraj Chowdhury lives inside that chaos. He runs a city without asking for permission, bound by rules he inherited. He believes in control. In loyalty measured by silence. In violence executed like habit, not rage. Three shots. Always three. Enough to end a life without wasting time. Their connection is forbidden, a mistake she can't undo. Truth surfaces in fragments. Loyalties fracture quietly. And attraction arrives where it should not, between interrogations, gunmetal silences, and conversations that feel too honest to be safe. Loving him could cost Tara her badge, her past, and her dead parents' memory. Loving her could cost Abhiraj his empire, his men, and the one rule he swore never to break. This is not a story about redemption. It is about what people choose to protect when everything begins to rot. WARNİNG!!!! ⚠️ ⚠️⚠️⚠️ 𝐌𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐟𝐢𝐚 𝐠𝐮𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 😏🫠😛. 𝐒𝐨, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐦𝐮𝐭𝐬 😚 𝗜'𝗺 𝘀𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆 🥹💔 (𝗢𝗿 𝗮𝗺 𝗜🙈?) So, if you're looking for a DARK ROMANCE, please refrain.

[ 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐗 𝐀𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 ] Mia has always followed her instincts. But one reckless choice, a night with a Gigolo-sets her life spinning out of control. What begins as a secret indulgence becomes a dangerous dance of longing, temptation, and revelation of secrets that wrenched her stomach. In the dazzling, deceptive world of art, Mia crosses paths with Malvika Menon, a celebrated painter haunted by her own quiet regrets. And between them stands a man who has survived hunger, loss, and the ache of reinvention-an artist who paints not just on canvas, but on hearts he cannot keep. As passion intertwines with guilt, and attraction collides with conscience, Mia must navigate moral ambiguity, unspoken truths, and the price of her choices. Some lessons can only be learned in the fire of temptation; some loves, once kindled, refuse to be contained. •••••••••• "Love, they say, redeems. But for me, it was never redemption. It was revelation-of the sins we bury, the hearts we break, and the people we pretend not to love." ~ Adi Bose • Moderately fast paced. • Plot is non-linear • Disclaimer: Mature content (Sex, mention of homosexuality, mention of infidelity, mention of person with cancer, sexual abuse, alcohol abuse, prostituition)

[𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐗 𝐏𝐡𝐃 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫] Arohi thrived in darkness-sharp, untethered, unwilling to surrender her heart. A PhD scholar who played by her own rules, love was nothing more than a fleeting indulgence. Tathagata carried his past like a ghost-brilliant, brooding, and bound to silence. A history professor with ink-stained fingers, a cigarette between them, and a sitar that sang only to the solitude. She never expected to see him again-the man she once adored, now a stranger wrapped in mystery. Their reunion is electric, a pull neither of them can deny. But he carries baggage, shadows of a life she never knew. And Arohi? She isn't the same girl who once adored him from afar. As passion collides with the ghosts of their past, they must ask themselves: Is this fate giving them a second chance, or are they simply chasing a memory that no longer exists? A story of love, loss, and the choices that define us-will they rewrite their ending, or are they doomed to repeat it? -------- Mature Content Warning: Intended for mature audiences.
