"I'm a cruel man so don't you dare humiliate me if you get cold feet and try to-"

Saat janam |The accidental fate| ✔️
"You think this marriage makes you mine?" His voice was low, almost dangerous - like a warning cloaked in silk. She didn't flinch. Didn't lower her gaze. "No," she said softly, but firmly. "But I think it terrifies you that I never wanted to be." For a moment, the air between them thickened - not with hate, but something far more dangerous.

"You're starting to matter more than you should... And I don't know what scares me more - losing control... or losing you."Complete
