''BOOK 2 OF SHADOWS OF MARRIAGE"
After enduring two years of an abusive marriage, Tanvi Singhania finds the strength to break free from the toxic cycle. Her ex-husband's betrayal, having cheated on her multiple times, leaves her shattered and wary of love's promises. Despite a year of therapy, Tanvi struggles to trust again, her heart scarred by past trauma.
However, fate intervenes when her family arranges her marriage to Arav Jai Raghuvanshi, a man who has secretly been love with Tanvi for the past five years. Initially hesitant and guarded, Tanvi enters this new union with skepticism, convinced that love is nothing but a fleeting illusion.
But as Tanvi navigates her new life with Arav, she discovers that his love is genuine and unwavering. Slowly, Arav's patience, understanding, and unconditional affection begin to chip away at the walls surrounding Tanvi's heart. Through his steadfast devotion, Tanvi learns to heal, to trust, and to embrace the possibility of love once again.
"You've had too much to drink, Tanvi. You'll regret this tomorrow," I shouted, hoping to reason with her, but she silenced me with a kiss.
"Damn it," I groaned, pulling her closer by the neck.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, Tanvi," I said firmly, pushing her gently onto the bed and hovering above her.
"I have scars on my body, Arav," she confessed, a tear slipping from her eye.
"Show me," I urged, my voice husky with emotion.
Reluctantly, she frowned. "Show me the scars and let me make it up to you. How many times you needed me, and I wasn't there?"

"I married you, but that doesn't mean you can control my life," he growled in anger. I flinched at his harsh voice, tears forming in my eyes.
"For the world, you will be my wife, but in reality, you are nothing to me." My last hope of mending this relationship shattered into pieces.
"Listen very carefully: never dare to raise your voice at me. Understood?" I nodded slowly.
"And only answer me if I ask you something. Is that clear?" His tone was dangerously low. Feeling scared, I nodded without looking at him.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you." He put his finger under my chin and raised my head. His eyes were full of arrogance and cruelty.
My vision blurred with each passing second. His grip on my chin was strong and painful.
"Now answer," he ordered in a husky voice.
"Ye-Yes," I replied in my shaky voice.
