The classroom was unusually quiet for a Monday morning. Or perhaps Kavya only noticed the silence because she wasn't listening to anything else. Rows of students filled the lecture hall. Books lay open. Pens moved across paper. Outside the windows, the city carried on with its usual indifference. Inside, a lecture had just begun. At the front of the room, Dr. Ahaan wrote something across the board before turning back to face the class. "Can anyone answer that?" Several hands rose. Kavya kept hers lowered. His eyes scanned the room briefly. Moving from one face to another. Patient. Unhurried. Professional. And then they reached her. A second. No more. His expression didn't change. Neither did hers. The moment passed. For reasons she couldn't explain, she felt as though something significant had happened. And yet, if anyone had asked, she would have had nothing to tell them. Nothing at all.

His fingers wrap around my nape, thumb skimming the angle of my jaw as he tips my head back and brings me closer, "I don't know, I actually don't mind you getting smart with me. Makes me want to fuck you until those pretty eyes lose focus." . Adriano Accardi is as cold and deadly as the ocean. His imperturbable composure only ever seems to crack when it comes to sweet, little Giselle Sinclair.

You can lock up a monster, but you can't kill his obsession. Six years in a psych ward didn't fix Silas Kane. It only sharpened his hunger. Ivy Monroe was the only thing that soothed the void inside him the quiet girl next door, the one he watched, craved, and would kill for. Now he's free. The world thinks he's hunting revenge. But monsters don't care about justice. They care about possession. He's not coming to save her. He's not coming to love her. He's coming to own her. This isn't a love story. This is a warning. He's not a hero. He's not even human. And once you let the monster in he never leaves. Read if you dare.

"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity.
