I should've seen it coming in my parents' silence. when they have let me face it alone.

Pari Thakur has always lived in the shadows. Sweet, soft, and overlooked because of her size, she never imagined a man like Kabir Raizada-ruthless, arrogant, devastatingly handsome-would ever look her way. For six secret months, he became her everything: the man who touched her when the world ignored her, who made her feel desired, even cherished. But Kabir Raizada doesn't do love. He doesn't do forever. To him, women are entertainment, bodies to conquer and discard, and Pari was no different... until one mistake changes everything. When Pari discovers she is pregnant, her fragile dream of belonging to him shatters under the weight of his cruelty. Kabir refuses to accept the child, refuses to accept her. With cold words and brutal detachment, he pushes her out of his life, proving she was only ever a fleeting distraction. But fate is not so easily controlled. What Kabir casts aside may become the one thing he can't live without. And Pari, once weak in his arms, may discover a strength that forces him to his knees. In a world where desire burns, betrayal cuts deep, and love is the most dangerous risk of all- can a ruthless man ever learn to cherish the woman who was once his greatest mistake?

"Please Abhi ji... " she begged, her voice shaky, eyes searching his face for a flicker of mercy. She stepped back until the wall stopped her escape, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She could see it in his eyes-he was angry. But his voice? Too calm. Too controlled. And that scared her more than his rage ever could. He took another step forward, calm as ever, as if he wasn't burning inside. "Jaana, dar kyun rahi ho? Main kuch nahi karunga. Mat daro," he said smoothly, but the coldness in his gaze betrayed the lie behind his soft tone. (Darling, why are you scared? I won't do anything. Don't be afraid.) Her voice broke, laced with panic. "Aapne vada kiya tha... ki aap mujh par zabardasti nahi karenge," she reminded him, holding on to the last thread of hope. (You promised... that you wouldn't force yourself on me,) He smiled slightly, a calm too dangerous to trust."Aur Jaana, aapne bhi toh vada kiya tha ki aap apne boyfriend se kabhi nahi milengi. Aapne apna vada tod diya... ab meri baari " (And darling, you also promised that you would never meet your boyfriend. You broke your promise... now it's my turn.) His hands gripped her wrists and pressed them gently against the wall, not hurting her, but not letting her go either. Then, with a deliberate slowness, he leaned in and kissed her earlobe-sending a shiver down her spine. She squeezed her eyes shut, her heart pounding. She knew this wasn't about love. It was about control.
