Jaipur. Ugh.
Seven years away and I swore I'd never go back. That city doesn't deserve me - dusty streets, loud prayers, people pretending happiness while I survived the disaster they call "family." Life, of course, has a sense of humor. Meera - my loud, emotionally blackmailing cousin - announces she's getting married and suddenly my name is the only thing missing from her perfect photo album. So I'm on a flight I never wanted. Thirty days of marigolds, fake smiles, and other people's curated joy. Thirty deliciously short days.
Then I saw her.
Kanan arrives like a sunrise with a ring on her finger and a life that seems deliberately designed to rub salt in my scalp. Perfect hair. Perfect laugh. That outrageous, effortless happiness that looks offensive on her. Yes, I'm jealous. Deep, greedy, unapologetic jealousy. I won't cringe and say I'm sorry.
I don't owe anyone an explanation for why I hate her. Secrets are boring - and explanations are boring. What matters is she has what she doesn't deserve, and I've had enough of standing in the background while other people collect trophies. Misery, frankly, would look fantastic on her.
So here's the plan. Thirty days. My deadline, my playground. I will not be the pity-story background in her photographs. I will not be the quiet footnote while she wins everything she wants. I will be the sentence that rewrites her chapter.
Call me petty. Call me vindictive. Call me villainous. I'll wear those labels like couture. Being the "good girl" was dull and unrewarding. It's time to try something sharper.
Revenge is my antidote - and it suits me.

She has never known the taste of rejection, the sting of defeat, or the ache of longing-until she saw him. She isn't the kind of woman to fall. She hunts.

Book #1 in Sinful Series RUDRANSHxAADHYA "Do you know what I do with traitors?" His voice was hard but shaky, like he was barely holding back his rage. I shook my head, fear gripping me as I tried to stay still. His lips twisted into a cruel smile, amusement mixed with malice. "I make them regret it," he whispered, his breath warm against my skin. The knife hovered near my throat. My heart raced, each beat echoing my terror. I didn't dare move or breathe as his eyes searched mine for any hint of defiance. "But since you're mine, and I can't hurt you," he continued, his voice calm despite the heat of his breath, "I'll go after the one who dared to touch what's mine. He won't see the next sunrise." Tears filled my eyes, and I shook my head. A cold chill ran through me as his tone turned deadly. "I'll make him suffer," he promised darkly. "He'll beg for mercy, but by the end, he'll wish he never even looked at you." His lips brushed mine as he whispered, sending dread coursing through me. "And when it's done, you'll know how far I'll go to protect what's mine." I looked into his eyes, the horror of what was coming sinking in. There was nothing I could do to stop him. The storm was coming, and it would leave only destruction behind. Join Rudransh and Aadhya on their rollercoaster ride, where betrayal and mistrust threaten to tear them apart at every turn. In a world where loyalty is fleeting and the line between love and hate blurs, they must navigate the dark shadows of their pasts and the dangerous forces that conspire against them.
