"I hate you, just die" I shouted at him. The supposed love of my life, my husband but to me he was never my husband, my captivator and the reason of the chains on me "Avinash, i love you too." He said in a low chuckle and kissed me. Hate you , hate you, hate you was the only thing going in my mind . . . Hey guyz , my first ever book. It is going to be a series. I hope you love it.❤️❤️❤️❤️

On his very first day at Bangalore's elite university, soft-hearted freshman Aryan Khanna witnesses the campus tyrant Dev Malhotra ruthlessly bullying juniors. Terrified and disgusted, Aryan whispers his hatred for the cold, violent bully - and Dev hears every word. What begins as Aryan's worst nightmare quickly spirals into something far darker. Dev, the openly gay campus king known for his endless flings and merciless rule, becomes dangerously fixated. For the first time in his chaotic life, the man-whore bully is consumed by raw, aching yearning. He wants Aryan - the gentle, conflict-avoiding scholarship boy who fears trouble more than anything - with a madness that borders on insanity. Dev will never bully Aryan. Instead, he becomes his terrifying protector, forcing him into the same hostel floor, sabotaging every attempt Aryan makes to stay away, and eliminating anyone who dares come close. Anonymous gifts, silent stares in the rain, midnight balcony vigils, and possessive touches that leave marks... Dev is breaking apart with need while Aryan desperately tries to escape the dangerous world he's been dragged into. As fear slowly melts into forbidden attraction, and Dev's obsession turns darker and more unhinged, both boys must face the truth: some shadows refuse to let go. In a campus filled with secrets, jealousy, and violence, one soft boy will learn what it truly means to be claimed by a monster who yearns only for him. (Featuring a fiery second couple - Dev's best friend Rihan and the dramatic Vihaan - in a chaotic enemies-to-lovers parallel romance.)

"I hate your voice. I hate the very sound of your breathing." Before he could walk away, fingers curled around his collar, slamming him against the wall. A whisper followed...low, dangerous, and sealed like a dark promise. "It isn't hatred," he murmured. "It's love. Whether you accept it or not." "Lies," came the broken reply. "Everything you've said is a lie." "Yes, I lied," he admitted calmly. "And I'll lie again if I have to. I'll do anything....but I will never let you walk away from me." The cold sting of a syringe pressed into his skin. ~~~~●●●●~~~~~●●●●~~~~~~~~●●●●~~~~~●●●~~ Agniv Mehra, a 24-year-old Indian student, arrives in New York carrying ambition, rebellion, and a past he refuses to speak about.
