Either Way I Die (on hold)

An enemies to lovers Desi romance
__________

Atharv Rathore- The King of Revar.

A man with power, skills, and enemies.
His name's well known to everyone around the world, especially because of the stories of his involvement in the war of the mafia clans. Many people believe that those stories are false rumours.
However, those people couldn't be more wrong.
Because he was an ally to the Italian mafia. And the enemy to the mafia of his own country. Why? Only he knows. With secrets to hide, he doesn't care what his enemy(who once was his friend) thinks.

Eshal - The Mafia Princess.

Daughter of Atharv's enemy- The Mafia King.
Devoted to her father, she blindly follows whatever he orders, and has been given one mission,
i.e. to kill Atharv Rathore.

After trying to kill Atharv for months - the tension among them developing with each interaction-when they find themselves craving and wanting each other even more, it goes in a direction none of them anticipated.

Will Eshal ever see the truth outside of the world her father has made her believe? And will Atharv ever let his secrets out?
Or will they end up taking each other's life?

"I know an aroused woman when I see one, Eshal. Stop lying to yourself. You think I don't notice that hitch in your breath, every time my hands touch you. You think, I don't notice how you clench your thighs. I can smell it in the air."
His hands travels to the back of my neck and with a force he makes me look at him.

"Those eyes filled with so much anger...you wish you could just stab me right here and right now, don't you?"

"you bet!" my voice threatens.

"But you also wish to feel death, slow... delicious..death.."

"It's one way or the other, always. Isn't it!?"

"Not necessarily.." he smirks, "there are more ways to make sure you feel so."

What is he playing at? Before I can wrap my head around it, his lips lands on mine.
