"She calls him a monster to his face. 😈 He calls her nothing-because silence is more dangerous. She wants him gone. He wants her breathing. She fights him with fire, insults, defiance, and open disgust. 🔥 He fights with patience, control, and a care so quiet it feels terrifying. He never admits what he feels. Never touches unless necessary. Never leaves-even when she begs him to. Because hate is safer than truth. And if she knew what he'd done for her... who he'd ruined... how many laws he's bent and bodies he's buried... ⚖️🩸 She would never forgive him. So he stays the villain. Lets her hate him. Protects her from the dark- even if it means becoming it. " 🔥 🖤 (Mature content ahead! Readers discretion is advised)

"A king bows to no one." "Weakness invites betrayal." "Respect is earned through fear, not kindness." "I would rather burn the world than kneel before anyone." Viktor Schwarz the mafia king of Europe built his empire on blood, silence, and fear, killed without mercy, and trusted no one.. He doesn't believe in love. He doesn't trust softness. And he sure as hell doesn't kneel. Until her. Avira Malhotra lived in a world of rules, traditions, and carefully guarded innocence. The daughter of a billionaire, she knew how to walk with grace-but never with danger at her heels. Until a forced marriage with a ruthless German mafia king shatters everything she thought she knew. She was never meant to enter his world. But now that she has-he's never letting her go. She wasn't part of the plan-but now she's the only one who can bring him to his knees. She was supposed to be a pawn. Sweet. Obedient. Easy to control. But she walked in with fire in her eyes and chaos in her heart. She is none of those things. Now, with secrets closing in, enemies lurking in shadows, and betrayal tightening its grip, Viktor must make a choice: protect the empire he built... or the woman who's taming the monster within. In a world of blood and power, love was never part of the plan. But fate doesn't ask for permission.

❝𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒕, 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒚?❞ _____________________________ Sidharth never wanted this marriage. Trapped by circumstances and haunted by a past he didn't want to face, he told himself it was only a duty. But Noor-silent, simple Noor-was something he couldn't ignore. Her presence stirred something in him, her quietness louder than his own chaos. She never asked for anything, yet she made him face the parts of himself he wanted to forget. And as his walls started to fall, he hated that he wanted her-that he needed the warmth of someone he was never meant to have. As time went on, He began to behave in ways that were antithetical to his initial intentions. He found himself doing everything he had once vowed never to do with his wife. He became the very husband he had despised. He started to crave more, an insatiable desire that gnawed at his soul for her. And then nothing seems to satisfy his aching soul other than his arranged wife's one smile. ●An Indian arranged marriage romance. #Book-1 in #His bride series.
