The Chains of the Heart* follows Eliza, a woman abducted and imprisoned by a man named Dominic. Initially, she is terrified and desperate to escape, but as time passes, the dynamics of their relationship shift in unexpected ways. Dominic, while cold and calculating, shows a surprising tenderness toward her, never hurting her and even providing for her needs in small, thoughtful ways. Eliza, initially filled with anger and fear, begins to notice subtle signs of vulnerability in him, leading to a strange connection forming between them. 

Despite the circumstances, the walls between captor and captive blur, and Eliza finds herself drawn to Dominic in a way she cannot explain. When Dominic confesses that he cannot let her go because he's developed feelings for her, Eliza is forced to confront her own complex emotions. Caught between resentment and an undeniable pull toward him, she realizes that the relationship has evolved into something far more complicated: a twisted bond rooted in Stockholm syndrome.

Both of them are trapped in a dangerous dance, bound by chains-physical and emotional-that neither of them fully understands. The story explores themes of captivity, emotional manipulation, vulnerability, and the blurred lines between love and control.

DIVE INTO THEIR WORLD. AN UNPRECEDENTED LOVE STORY. ~GURU AND AYESHA~ THE LOVE STORY OF THE COLD HEARTTHROB. Guru is the kind of guy you notice the second he walks into a room-unbothered, untouchable, and the epitome of cold confidence. With a reputation as a heartthrob, his high standards and aloof attitude make him the one everyone wants to impress but can never reach. He doesn't care about the drama around him; he's in a league of his own. But when **Ayesha**, a shy and delicate beauty, crosses his path, something shifts. She's the kind of girl who draws attention whether she wants it or not-and Guru, despite his usual indifference, can't look away. He's obsessed. Her fragility becomes his obsession, and from the moment he lays eyes on her, he makes it clear: *No one will ever lay a finger on her, no one will dare touch her or even look at her wrong.* For Guru, love isn't about sweet words or gestures-it's about *protection*. His possessiveness burns with an intensity that makes his cold exterior crack, showing a side of him that's terrifying in its loyalty. He will tear down anyone who dares to threaten Ayesha, going to extreme lengths to ensure she is always safe. The world might see him as the untouchable heartthrob, but for Ayesha, he's the wall between her and the chaos around her. He doesn't just want her; he will obliterate anything or anyone who dares to get close. His love isn't gentle-it's fierce, possessive, and unstoppable. How far will Guru go to keep her safe? As far as it takes, even if it means burning the world to the ground.

Before I begin, I just want to say that this story does include some mature themes. I will also give out a warning a chapter prior to these scenes. Getting that out of the way, let's go onto the story description... *This book contains explicit content* *EXTRACT FROM THE BOOK* I stared at him, cooking and whistling, something that I could not do, or should I say, wasn't bothered to do. I decided to move away and to try and find an exit but I didn't even take one step back when I heard his voice. "Princess? Is that you?" I saw him raise his head before shooting his eyes onto me. The sudden gaze caused to heart to race while it froze my body as if I have turned into ice. I felt the fear engulf my body, eating me inside out. "You aren't scared of me... Are you?" he asked me, I sensed the envy in his voice. That mixed with his harsh tone caused a wave of goosebumps to course through my body. I wanted to begin by asking him where was I? Why was I here? Why was he here... I wanted to ask him, but I couldn't, the fear was just all too much for me. "Come on... Speak to me... Ask me..." he began. "Ask me 'why am I here' and all of that crap... Entertain me with your fear." I saw him slowly gripping a knife that was on the countertop, with his eyes still on mine. The sides of his mouth slowly began tilting upwards. All the bitterness and the cold, it was all so visible in his eyes. I looked at him in horror, noticing him as he took his first steps towards me. "Talk to me... Because this might be the only time you will ever be able to talk, " he said this sentence in such a calm tone, it caused me once again to shiver with goosebumps. "W-what do you mean...". Never in my life have I stuttered, until then.

She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."

Games can be fun, but some games end rather badly. What happens when a young girl plays a game that catches the attention of someone that's not only bad, but deadly? Because once you kiss death... well... lets's just say that a killer doesn't kiss and tell... <3 This is a sample of my book. The book can now be found on Amazon, both as a paperback and as a digital book. It was free for five days in March 2020 to thank the wonderful readers here on Wattpad that supported me while I wrote the book. Thanks again for the support, it meant a lot. <3 NB! Warning some people might find this twisted love story disturbing. Stockholm syndrome* will be comming into play. The published version of the book is mature. The book starts off somewhat light, but it does get darker chapter by chapter. It is not recommended for a younger audience, nor for those who might take offense with strong language, sex scenes, non consensual acts, violence etc. Happy reading :D *Stockholm syndrome is a condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors as a survival strategy during captivity. These feelings, resulting from a bond formed between captor and captives during intimate time spent together, are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims. Generally speaking, Stockholm syndrome consists of "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other.
