She was the chaos to his mind and soul. A seemingly normal girl with nothing much to offer, but looks have always been deceiving. When Azlan Farooqi's kingdom is threatened by a lethal crime ring that promises to hurt his people and family, he is unwillingly arranged to be married to Sharia Amir, the daughter of the said ring leader to restore peace and security. "Make sure to stay in your limits, wife. You don't wanna see me angry." A wedding ring for a bride in Ebonvale, especially for one married to a mafia leader was much more than an expensive, shiny rock that made her a bride. It was a form of branding, a chain, a collar for her soul. A symbol of ownership. "The ones you crossed at the strip club or the ones that I buried alongside your parents' corpses?" He may own the ring, but she's the one who gets to decide its fate. ....................... The first book in the "His and Hers" Trilogy

"Chapters of Fate #1" It was love at first sight for him. Not for her perhaps, but he could slowly see her opening up to him. When they got together, it was like sparks flew all over and created a world of their own. Just for them to thrive and glow brighter than any galaxy this universe has ever seen. For him, love had been a mystery until her. But life is never devoid of mysteries, is it? And we, as humans, always avoid the ones with the cruelest consequences. ........................................ "You'll love me forever, right?" "Yes," I promised her, my breath mingling with hers as I neared closer. "Until however long we have, until the wrinkles on our skin speak more than words." "Promise me that nothing will ever change what we have between us." She insisted, grabbing on to his collar, pulling him closer to her as her voice tethered close to yearning. "Nothing at all." "Never, my love." When we met, I considered it fate. But sometimes we fail to understand that fate is the one who backstabs us more than a living, breathing enemy. And by the time you realize it, the silent humiliation ritual is already completed.
