spoiled hearts, stolen souls
Eraya was no ordinary heiress. Born with the world's rarest blood type-rh-null-she was a living miracle, a treasure more valuable than diamonds, a secret her family guarded like royalty. Her life was a glittering cage of luxury, endless adoration, and indulgence. Pampered by her doting parents and protected by three ruthless mafia brothers, she lived in a bubble of childish arrogance and untouchable beauty. Everyone worshipped her, and yet, she remained blissfully unaware of the shadows lurking beyond her golden walls. Shaurya was the opposite. A man forged by silence, pain, and expectation. At 26, he was already a legend in the mafia world-cold, calculating, and merciless. His family didn't love him; they demanded perfection. No warmth, no compassion-only results. His eyes carried a void where feelings should have been, and his presence alone commanded fear. A devil in human form, his emotions were locked away, hidden beneath layers of steel and pride. Fate didn't care for feelings. A marriage contract. One year of binding them together. Two souls born from opposite worlds. And nothing-absolutely nothing-would be easy.

She hates him. She doesn't understand him. But he's been waiting for this moment-to find her, to claim her, to burn down everything that made her this way. But she's not that lost girl anymore. And she's not sure she wants to be found.Complete

"But the only thing you need to remember is that this beautiful woman," his hand rested possessively on my shoulder, "is Eleanor Morozov." His eyes swept over the room, challenging anyone to dispute his claim. "But most importantly, she is mine." "Every word that comes out of her mouth," he says, his voice echoing through the cavernous room, "will hold as much power and meaning as my own. You disrespect her," he pauses, his gaze sweeping over each man, "you die. You look down at her, you die. You think of her in any way but as my equal, you die, and the process will be... unpleasant."
