He was the storm destined to consume her. When Aaravi-fierce, fearless, and the daughter of one of the most powerful mobs-meets Vihaan, a dangerous enigma wrapped in chaos, sparks don't just fly, they burn. With one swift motion, he pins her against a wall, a threat on his lips: "Don't forget, I'm your death warrant. I can fck the life out of you."* But she doesn't flinch. Her graceful eyes hold his gaze, defiant and inviting. "Maybe I'm getting obsessed with my death warrant," she whispers, knowing she's treading dangerous ground. Vihaan's hand fists her hair, tilting her head back. "You're making a mistake, minx." "No, I'm not." And that's all it takes-for him to crush his lips against hers in a kiss that screams obsession, rage, and a twisted need neither of them can escape. Enemies, yet something deeper ties them. Lust, power, hate... and something far more destructive.
