A Dark Mafia Romance She was light. He was darkness. But when darkness chooses its obsession, light doesn't escape-it burns. Aarohi Mehra, an innocent, brilliant medical student, survives on scholarships, sheer will, and a smile that hides a thousand bruises. Trapped in a home ruled by abuse, she's blackmailed into silence-her little sister held as a bargaining chip by the very people who should have protected her. Enter Raghav Rathore-cold, ruthless, and feared. The untouchable mafia king who doesn't flinch at blood but is undone by one accidental glimpse of a girl too pure for his world. He doesn't believe in mercy, but something about her ignites a possessive obsession he can't resist. Raghav wants her. And nothing-not her past, not her pain, not even her resistance-can stop him. But love in his world comes at a cost. And for Aarohi, the price might be freedom... or her soul.

Ayesha Rajput thought her first year of college would be filled with friendships, late-night studies, and a taste of freedom. What she never expected was to catch the attention of RudraMaan Rathore-a powerful, ruthless lawyer who towers over her world like a dark shadow. At thirty-four, RudraMaan has built an empire through corruption and manipulation, his wealth tainted by blood money and unethical deals. Cruel and calculating, he's used to taking what he wants without mercy. And now, what he wants is her. Drawn to her clumsiness, her innocence, her very fragility, RudraMaan begins to infiltrate Ayesha's life. His concern appears genuine, his support unwavering, but beneath the kindness lies a twisted obsession. He wants to own her-mind, body, and soul. As their worlds collide, Ayesha finds herself torn between gratitude and an unexplainable fear. But how can she resist the man who's made it his mission to trap her in his web of darkness and devotion? And worse-what happens when she starts to crave his attention, even as her instincts scream at her to run? ---
