#ʙᴏᴏᴋ-1 ᴛʜᴇ ᴋʜᴀɴ ᴅʏɴᴀꜱᴛy ᴀᴀʀɪᴢ ᴋʜᴀɴ x ꜱᴀɪʀᴀ ᴋʜᴀɴ ~ The moment they reached the Khan Mansion, Aariz didn't even bother to hit the brakes properly. He drove the car straight into the garden, the tires ripping through the green, people scattering and screaming in horror as the car hurtled straight toward the wedding aisle like a raging bull. Inside, Qazi Sahib had been waiting patiently for over thirty minutes. Saira hadn't uttered a single word, her lips sealed, her eyes on the door, silently praying for someone who never came... Until now. The sound of the engine roared into the wedding hall, and she saw him-her Aariz. A slow, stunned smile tugged at her lips. Everyone stood up. The wedding came to a halt. Aariz slammed the car door open and walked out with thunder in his steps. His black shirt's top three buttons open, hair disheveled-eyes glowing like hellfire. In his right hand, a gun, straight and deadly, pointed at Rehan. "STOP THIS WEDDING..." he growled, his voice deeper than death itself, "...or I will turn this hall into blood bath" A gasp erupted across the crowd. Without another second wasted, Aariz pressed the trigger. The bullet tore through the air. But at the last second, Ayaaz pushed his arm upward and the shot went flying into the air. People screamed and ducked. Chaos. "Aariz! Control, dammit!" Ayaaz shouted, voice shaking. Aariz's face snapped toward him, madness swimming in his bloodshot eyes. "How do you expect me to CONTROL MYSELF when this ba**ard dares to marry MY WIFE?!" Saira's eyes widened. My wife? But... hadn't he signed the papers?

It's the second part of the "The Devil's Crown", making it the second instalment of the Devil's Trilogy. Hence, not a STANDALONE! It's a dance of desire and destruction. A battle of surrender and control. Obsession and ruin. I am a woman marked by regret, haunted by demons of my past. An escaper, running from everything that binds me. Then I met him. Zyran Zakharov. A devil in silk, with cold blue eyes that promise nothing but pain. The kind of man who doesn't just take but consumes. The moment our eyes locked, I knew I was doomed. I was going to sin. I was going to fall into his darkness, and nothing could stop me. Every touch, every word, pulls me deeper into his world consuming me whole. He doesn't want to save me, he wants to own me. Possess me. And once you're in his grip, there's no escaping. Only falling further. I thought I was prepared. But I wasn't. He doesn't want my heart. He wants my soul. A soul of destruction.

✦ Title: Shadows of lies ✦ Tagline: "He was her captor in every way but name- and she was the fire that refused to burn quietly." --- 📖 Book Description (Blurb): Dark. Obsessive. Twisted. In a world ruled by secrets, power, and betrayal-love is the deadliest game of all. Anvitha Ramaswamy was never meant to survive. Stolen from a life she never knew, she was reborn in blood and fire, molded by the hands of a powerful man who claimed to save her-but owned her instead. Years later, she's not the broken girl they tried to erase. She's fierce, guarded, and untouchable... until he enters the picture. Ryan Raichand-ruthless, arrogant, and dangerously charming. He doesn't ask for permission. He takes. And the moment he sets his eyes on Anvitha, she becomes his favorite obsession. But the past has sharp claws. And when buried truths begin to resurface-about her identity, her stolen childhood, and the people she thought she could trust-Anvitha is forced to choose: burn the world down for revenge... or lose herself in the man who might've helped destroy her.
