He was the man every girl dreamed of-rich, tall, handsome, and untouchable. But when he fell, he fell for her. She was small, fragile, carrying shadows from a past she refused to share. To him, she was light. To herself, she was nothing but broken pieces held together by silence. She saw him first. Not in the way most people do- but in the kind of way that carved itself into her fragile, haunted soul. From the very first glance, she couldn't let him go. For a year, she followed him in silence, obsession filling the cracks of a past she could never reveal. To her, it wasn't love. Not yet. It was hunger, confusion, survival. Was it affection... or the madness of a girl too broken to trust her own heart? He wanted her trust. He wanted her truth. He wanted every scar she tried to hide. But she believed that if he ever knew the darkness she carried, he would leave her. So, she smiled. She lied. She pretended her past didn't exist- while loving him so madly, so dangerously, she would destroy herself before letting him go. And he waited. He gave her space she never asked for, drowned himself in whiskey, and hoped one day she would finally choose him over her silence. But she never did. Not with her lips. Not while alive. Instead, she left him a letter. A letter that tore his soul apart and revealed everything she had buried. Years of love, obsession, and pain crumbled into ashes the moment her heart stopped beating. And the man who once had it all became a hollow mess, darker than even his failures could make him. He locked himself away, chasing her ghost through words she left behind, never finding peace until the day death finally came for him. But even then... it wasn't peace. It was ruin. A story of obsession. A story of silence. A story of love so powerful it destroyed them both. Her Silence, His Ruin.

"Did you like it, babygirl?" His heart raced at her words. He lowered his gaze, nervously biting his lip as he struggled to find an answer. A mischievous smirk slowly curved her lips. She gently held his chin and lifted his face, her touch soft yet firm. "Speak, sweetheart" she whispered, her voice carrying a playful hint of authority. He finally met her gaze, his fingers fidgeting nervously. "Ye...yes." The barely audible response made her chuckle. "Awwww my babygirl is getting all shy-shy" she teased. His cheeks grew even warmer as he immediately hid his face behind his palms, completely defeated by his own shyness. And she? She simply smiled, secretly loving every second of it. ☆-⁠☆-⁠☆-⁠☆-⁠☆-⁠☆-⁠☆-⁠☆⁠☆-⁠☆-⁠☆-⁠☆-⁠☆-⁠☆-⁠☆-⁠☆ "Love? She's my devotion, and I'm devoted to her." - Akshit Malhotra "Lust?
