"She was the petals in my life, soft and fragile, and I swore to protect her at all costs. I am the thorn in hers, ready to hurt anyone who dares to lay a finger on her."

Agastya Raichand is a shadow in the world of power-a ruthless mafia king known only as Mr. X, feared by all but truly known by none. Beneath his cold, brutal exterior lies a past riddled with loss and betrayal, one that turned him into the monster he's become.

Tara Singhania, on the other hand, is the sunlight breaking through his storm-a kind-hearted, innocent girl chasing her dreams. But when their paths cross, her world becomes tangled in his web of lies, blood, and vengeance.

As love grows in the darkness, so does danger. Will Tara survive in his shadow, or will Agastya consume her light?

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 1 𝐨𝐟 "𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐒" 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 ⊹ ࣪ ﹏𓊝﹏𓂁﹏⊹ ࣪ ˖𓍼ོ ⭑⚝ As I jerked my arm, trying to break free from his unyielding grip, his fingers only tightened, digging into my skin. "Lett me go!!" I shouted, my voice sharp, eyes blazing with defiance. He didn't flinch. Instead, he pulled me closer, his chest pressing against mine with an intensity that made my pulse race. "You have no choice but to marry me..." His tone was dangerously calm, almost too calm. "Keep resisting, and I'll turn your 'no' into a desperate 'yes'." "In your dreams!" I spat back, my chest heaving with anger. His smirk only deepened, that cocky grin that made my blood boil. "Behtar hoga ki ap humare sapno ke bare mein na jane," he said, his voice dripping with arrogance. ("You'd be better off not knowing about my dreams.") Before I could push him away, his arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me even closer. My chest collided with his solid frame, and I froze for a moment, overwhelmed by his strength. I twisted, trying to break free, but his hold was like iron. He leaned down, his lips grazing my ear, sending a hot shiver through me. "Shh... Jaan, you have no other choice. You'll marry me. There's no escaping it." His words were dark, possessive, and sent a chill down my spine. I threw my head back, locking eyes with him, determined not to show the effect his words had on me. "I'd rather burn in hell!" I snapped, my voice trembling with fury. His low chuckle echoed in my ear. "Then I'll gladly burn with you," he whispered, and in a flash, I was lifted off the ground, his strong arms holding me tightly against him. I gasped, realizing how easily he could control me. "You can't run from me, Aashvi. You belong to me." What happens next? Read now for that.. ✧˚ ༘ ⋆。♡˚ "𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐒" is a fiery romance that dives deep into the tension between!!

꧁ 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀꧂ ❝𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐚 & 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚❞ I should not feel anything for someone who is my enemy, someone who has caused me so much pain that the very thought of him should fill me with nothing but rage and bitterness. Yet, against all logic, I feel it-I feel the heat rising beneath my skin . The mere idea of his touch sends shivers down my spine, igniting sensations that I desperately want to ignore. This isn't right. I shouldn't crave the presence of someone I despise, but my body betrays me, responding to him in ways that my mind fiercely rejects. He stands so close that his breath fans across my face, warm and intimate, stirring emotions that I refuse to acknowledge. A slight movement is all it would take for our lips to meet, for this unbearable tension to shatter into something far more dangerous. His hands are braced on either side of my head, trapping me, yet he doesn't need to touch me to make me feel trapped. His body hovers just out of reach, yet I can sense him, every inch of him, as if the air itself is an extension of his presence. I shouldn't desire this man. I shouldn't want to close the gap, to feel the press of his body against mine. I should be repulsed, disgusted by how my thoughts betray my hatred. But my body doesn't listen to reason , it yearns for what it shouldn't, driven by instincts I can't control. I despise him-my enemy- My rival-but the line between hatred and desire is blurring, and I'm terrified of which side I might fall on. {𝖠 𝗌𝗍𝖺𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝗈𝗇𝖾 } | | Mature content 18+| |
