Empireofashes Stories

The night Mumbai's most powerful empire begins to fall, no one knows who struck the first blow. Adhikrit Singh Raichand has spent years building an empire on power, fear, and blood. Cold, calculated, and untouchable, he has enemies everywhere, but none of them have ever come close enough to destroy him. Until now. At his side are Akay Shekhawat, whose temper is as dangerous as the violence he leaves behind, and Raghav Malhotra, the smiling devil no one can ever truly read. Then something changes. A secret resurfaces. An old enemy returns. And somewhere within Adhikrit's own empire, someone begins playing a game no one saw coming. Trust starts to crumble. Loyalties shift. And the deeper they dig, the more they realize that the danger isn't coming for them. It has been with them all along. Because some secrets are buried to protect the innocent. And some are buried because, once uncovered: they destroy everything.

Alessandra De Luca was born into a world of luxury and blood, where loyalty to the family outweighs freedom. But while the Roman sun warms her skin, she has no idea that she was sold at the age of sixteen. The contract is signed. The deal is sealed. And her new owner is Nikolai Volkov-heir to the most ruthless Russian empire. In Moscow, the snow is unforgiving, and Nikolai is colder than a Siberian winter. He doesn't seek love; he seeks an ally and total submission. Alessandra, however, is not the docile doll he expected. She is a fire that threatens to incinerate his ice palace. In a world where a kiss is a promise of death and marriage is a life sentence, who will break first? "You may own my father's signature, Nikolai, but you will never own me."
