𝐀𝐚𝐝𝐡𝐲𝐚 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐚 (24) - A woman carved by the gods. Midnight-black hair, soft eyes, porcelain skin, full pink lips, and lashes that veil the shadows of her past. Behind that tender smile lies a girl who ran-from India, from her family, from everything she once knew-just to escape one name: Ranbeer Malhotra. The monster who turned her life into hell. She fled to NYC, seeking peace in a foreign land. She blooms as one of the bestest fashion designers in the country.
𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐤𝐨𝐯 (31) - A man who doesn't ask for attention. He commands it. With a presence that chills bones, he's one of Russia's most feared business tycoons-and the sole heir to the Russian Mafia. Born and raised in blood, gore, violence, dominance raised in violence, he never knew what love felt like. But as they say-
" 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲 "
So why wouldn't he?
But love asks for sacrifice, for letting go.
Would he?
A big,
Fucking NO.
Letting go doesn't exist in his world. Not when it comes to what's his. And Aadhya? She's more than his. She's in his veins. His obsession.
His 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲.
But after 1 year and 5 months of fierce love, she disappeared-no goodbye, no clue, only a note.
Would that satisfy her beast??
Hell NO.
It wasn't someone else.
It was him,
Someone watching from the dark.
Jealous. Cruel. Silent. Burning
It was him-
Mr. Shadow.
