Now, with only one week to arrange 25 lakhs, she's forced into a world she never wanted- and into a marriage with a man who looks at her like she's already his. But some stories aren't about falling in love... they're about surviving it. And sometimes... you don't realize which one you're doing until it's too late. Read the story to know more.

❝He was sold to the devil... and became the only thing the devil couldn't destroy.❞

#𝟐 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐞 ✦ 𝐀 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𓂃⋆.˚ She was light-too blinding, too pure for a man like him. He was darkness-cursed, dangerous, and utterly obsessed. He was a man of power, feared and worshipped in the same breath, ruling over the world of shadows where morality was a myth and sin was the only language spoken. Love? That was for the weak. He didn't do love. He didn't believe in innocence. Until her. She was untouched by the darkness he thrived in-a vision of purity, a forbidden fruit he had no right to crave. But the devil had never been one to deny himself temptation. And she... she was his greatest one. She should have run. He told her to. Instead, she stayed, unaware that the moment she stepped into his world, she became his. His to ruin. His to cherish. His purest sin. And now, even if heaven came calling-he'd rather burn than let her go.

❝𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐚 & 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚❞ I should not feel anything for someone who is my enemy, someone who has caused me so much pain that the very thought of him should fill me with nothing but rage and bitterness. Yet, against all logic, I feel it-I feel the heat rising beneath my skin . The mere idea of his touch sends shivers down my spine, igniting sensations that I desperately want to ignore. This isn't right. I shouldn't crave the presence of someone I despise, but my body betrays me, responding to him in ways that my mind fiercely rejects. He stands so close that his breath fans across my face, warm and intimate, stirring emotions that I refuse to acknowledge. A slight movement is all it would take for our lips to meet, for this unbearable tension to shatter into something far more dangerous. His hands are braced on either side of my head, trapping me, yet he doesn't need to touch me to make me feel trapped. His body hovers just out of reach, yet I can sense him, every inch of him, as if the air itself is an extension of his presence. I shouldn't desire this man. I shouldn't want to close the gap, to feel the press of his body against mine. I should be repulsed, disgusted by how my thoughts betray my hatred. But my body doesn't listen to reason , it yearns for what it shouldn't, driven by instincts I can't control. I despise him-my enemy- My rival-but the line between hatred and desire is blurring, and I'm terrified of which side I might fall on. {𝖠 𝗌𝗍𝖺𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝗈𝗇𝖾 } | | Mature content 18+| |

𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐍 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐎𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐒 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 ✦ ✧ ✦ ✧ ✦ She's the light that pierces my darkness. Yet, I know... I'll burn her to the ground. The first time I saw her, she was just an innocent face. The second time? She became an obsession, a constant temptation. Now, she is the only thing that haunts me-the only thing I want to possess. I should stay away. But I won't. I don't give up on what's mine. She believes she can fight me, can push me away. But the truth is: she belongs to me. Every curve, every breath, every damn whisper. She's mine. The power I crave, the control I need, it's all wrapped up in her. And she's too naïve to realize it. But when the secrets come tumbling out... when the lies we've built this on start crumbling... Will she run? Or will she be consumed by me? In a world where trust is a lie, betrayal is inevitable, and love is a curse... The stakes are set. The rules? There are none. ✦ ✧ ✦ ✧ ✦
