𝗜𝗥𝗜𝗦×𝗔𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗡 (Indian×Italian) "𝗜 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 " ──────────────⋆⋅❆⋅⋆─────────────── 𝗜𝗥𝗜𝗦 𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗦𝗢(21) A heart shattered by betrayal, trapped in a house that stole her innocence. Once an angel, now a devil in disguise, forged by the cruelty of a father's grip. She is feisty, with a soul that still shines, torn between a deep, burning hunger for touch and an overwhelming hatred for it, as if every brush of skin is a betrayal. Her mission is simple-freedom and vengeance for the mother stolen by the hands of betrayal. She thought her escape would come from a prince charming, just like in the books she read-until she realized there was no hero, and she'd have to save herself. But that was before her father sold her to the most ruthless, feared man in the Italian mafia. 𝗔𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗢(32) A broken soul, born into a shattered family. Hatred and anger have consumed him since childhood. He knew no love, only vengeance. Now, he stands as the most ruthless and feared man in the Italian mafia-so feared that even the devils whisper his name in the dark. But his war isn't over. He's still hunting the one who stole his childhood, the one who ripped his mother's love away from him. And when he finds them, there will be no mercy. Then, everything changes. A woman-mysterious, unseen, and dangerously untouchable-shatters his ego. She controls his rival mafia, yet remains unseen by the world. Now, he wants her, not just in his sight, but by his side. But first, there's another piece to move on his chessboard. He needs the daughter of the man he despises most. The man he believes stole everything from him. Russo's world will burn, and with it, Iris-the girl he thinks is Russo

Truthful Betrayal. For the girls who cried over the ones who forgot them- Here's Asad Riaz, a man who doesn't move on. He spirals. He'll watch you laugh with someone else and smile - but only because he's imagining breaking every bone in that man's body. He doesn't get jealous... he gets ruined. He'd rather choke on the truth than watch you live peacefully with a lie. His love isn't sweet. It's sharp. Aleena Nasr wasn't his weakness - she was the fire he walked into, again and again, with open arms and a bleeding heart. He'd beg, break, and bleed before letting you walk away. Who needs revenge when your absence feels like a punishment crafted by the universe? Warning: He's not healthy, but he's yours. This isn't a romance. This is possession dressed up as love.
