"The SEA was never peaceful." They called it Shivayan Elite Academy, but everyone knew it by another name - The SEA. A place where the rich were born kings, and the rest learned how to drown. Power ruled here. Fear was currency. Status decided everything. And the one who controlled both... was Dev Rathore. He was everything people feared and secretly desired - tall, ruthless, breathtakingly confident. The Rathore heir. The boy whose family owned half the country and ruled the academy like their personal kingdom. They called him The Dragon of the SEA, because no one could get close to him without getting burned. But even monsters have a weakness. Dev's weakness had a name - Pakhi Ghosh. Beautiful. Brilliant. Too gentle for a world this cruel. She was the only one who dared to meet Dev's eyes and not bow. The only one he couldn't break, couldn't scare, couldn't let go of - - because he was already obsessed with her. Pakhi never asked for this life. She wanted books, quiet corners, and peace - not attention, not power, and definitely not Dev Rathore's dangerous kind of love... But she told herself she could endure it. At least, that's what she thought... until HE appeared. He walked in with nothing - no fancy surname, no expensive uniform. Just an old backpack and eyes that saw everything. Shiv Malhotra - the new scholarship student. The quiet nerd no one cared to know. Except... he wasn't what he seemed. Behind those glasses hid Shivansh Roy Singhania - the true heir of the empire the Rathores had betrayed. The real owner of the SEA. But the moment HE saw Her - his entire plan began to crack. And just like that, everything shifted. The SEA trembled. Even SEA Hunters, the academy's deadliest game created by Dev himself, began glitching - Because the Real Hunter had finally arrived. Two kings.One Sea. And a girl who didn't want to be saved -but became the reason neither of them would back down. 'The Sea was never peaceful.'

After a fierce battle, he claimed my kingdom-and my fate. I am bound by duty to my people, but it is a duty that demands the greatest sacrifice. To save my kingdom, I must marry the man who conquered it. One bound by the crown, the other by my heart. When the king of Suryagarh attacked our kingdom, he did not just conquer our lands-he shattered countless lives. Thousands of widows, children left without fathers, and girls who were only beginning to understand the world. The loss was beyond words. And yet, to save them, I had no choice but to throw myself into the flames of my own sacrifice. I sent the king a marriage proposal through my father. My father was always against it and he must have hidden the truth about me from him. I don't know what he said, but I couldn't back down. I couldn't let my people suffer more. They needed me. Sitting before the holy fire, ready to take vows with my husband, not as a wife but as a mistress, I was shedding silent tears beneath my veil-not because of the sacrifice but because of the price I will pay for it. It all began with his words: "I always loved you. It was always you, never someone else." But the reality was different: "So you were always a manwhore?" "Yes, and you are my whore." And it ends with: "You promised to stay with me during this time. I am still waiting for you. Please... do not let me down." This is a story of a time when women were nothing but objects to be used and discarded, tied down to the bed by the chains of society and sweet taste. But the queen made sure none of them were deprived of their rights. Her legacy was one of hope, as she become the first queen to free courtesans from the shackles of slavery, granting them the freedom they deserve. She married the powerful king of Hind to save her kingdom, but in doing so, she never expected he would become the very reason to turn her life upside down. Mature content included!

❝𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐚 & 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚❞ I should not feel anything for someone who is my enemy, someone who has caused me so much pain that the very thought of him should fill me with nothing but rage and bitterness. Yet, against all logic, I feel it-I feel the heat rising beneath my skin . The mere idea of his touch sends shivers down my spine, igniting sensations that I desperately want to ignore. This isn't right. I shouldn't crave the presence of someone I despise, but my body betrays me, responding to him in ways that my mind fiercely rejects. He stands so close that his breath fans across my face, warm and intimate, stirring emotions that I refuse to acknowledge. A slight movement is all it would take for our lips to meet, for this unbearable tension to shatter into something far more dangerous. His hands are braced on either side of my head, trapping me, yet he doesn't need to touch me to make me feel trapped. His body hovers just out of reach, yet I can sense him, every inch of him, as if the air itself is an extension of his presence. I shouldn't desire this man. I shouldn't want to close the gap, to feel the press of his body against mine. I should be repulsed, disgusted by how my thoughts betray my hatred. But my body doesn't listen to reason , it yearns for what it shouldn't, driven by instincts I can't control. I despise him-my enemy- My rival-but the line between hatred and desire is blurring, and I'm terrified of which side I might fall on. {𝖠 𝗌𝗍𝖺𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝗈𝗇𝖾 } | | Mature content 18+| |
