"Play along," she said, her voice dripping with seduction but laced with an edge. Her hands reached behind his back, and in a swift move, she retrieved the pistol tucked into his belt.
Abhay's breath hitched as she raised the gun over his shoulder, her piercing eyes locking onto the threat behind him. A deafening shot rang out, the muzzle flashing like lightning. The man targeting Abhay crumpled to the ground.
Ekanshi didn't hesitate. With a roll off Abhay's lap, she landed gracefully in front of him, her red dress glinting under the neon lights as she pivoted to fire at two more assailants rushing from the shadows. Each shot was precise, lethal, and unrelenting.
The room fell silent save for the echo of her last gunshot.
She turned back to Abhay, who hadn't moved an inch, his face frozen in a mix of awe and disbelief. She leaned down, her lips brushing his ear as she whispered, "What are you doing? Take care of yourself, Abhay. I may be a doctor, but I only treat patients."
Her words were a playful reprimand, but her tone was tender. Abhay's heart raced, his mind screaming a single thought: I'm a patient of your love. But before he could voice it, she straightened, adjusted her dress with an air of casual confidence, and turned away.
The sound of her high heels clicking against the floor was all he could hear as she walked off..

Her eyes glistened with a dangerous mix of love and poison-a love that had no place in the world. A love that could only lead to destruction. "Do you regret it, Akanksha?" His words came out slowly, thick with dark amusement as he tipped the bottle, pouring his favorite wine over her neck. The crimson liquid dripped down her skin like a sinister promise. She trembled, the cold steel of the gun heavy in her hand. He chuckled deeply, savoring her helplessness, the sound vibrating through the room like a devil's hymn. But just as the tension between them simmered to a boil, his fingers tightened around her wrist. In one swift, merciless motion, he pulled the trigger. The echo of the shot hung in the air, but it wasn't the gunfire that haunted them-it was the undeniable bond that kept dragging them back into each other's arms. They were bound by something darker than love. A mistake-an unforgivable sin-that no one could ever understand. In each other, they found the chaos that mirrored their souls, drawn into a love so dangerous, so intoxicating, that neither could walk away. They had destroyed everything that stood in their way, and now there was nothing left to lose. Except each other. ───────────·୨ৎ ★ 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 ~ 𝑨 𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒈𝒂𝒎𝒆.

A twisted smile spread across his face as he leaned in closer, his hot, alcohol-laced breath over her. He pressed his nose to her neck, inhaling deeply before pulling back slightly to growl in her ear, "You can't run away anymore." he slurred, his voice a sinister whisper. His eyes bore into hers with a mix of anger and possessiveness that made her blood run cold. Her mind raced, desperately trying to think of a way to escape. "Let me go!" she cried, her voice trembling. She tried to pull away, but he only tightened his grip, his other hand moving to her waist to hold her closer. "You're mine," he growled, his lips curling into a cruel smile. "And no one gets to take what's mine." ____________________ "If you really want to stop me, tell me will you ever be able to love me?" She asked, her voice trembling despite the smile she forced. Hurt was evident in her eyes, knowing what his answer would be. He looked at her, his face a mask of turmoil. She was no one to him, and he , a fragile in a world full of chaos. Every day, she had been grateful just to be near him, to share his space, even if it meant living in the shadows. She had accepted that they were living a lie, but it had been a lie she could live with. His silence was a dagger to her already wounded heart. "I was never supposed to be in your life," she whispered, tears spilling over despite her efforts to hold them back. "But you found me, and you saved me. You've been my rock, my safe place. How can I just let you go now?"

You have no right to dictate my movements," she retorted, her voice firm. My grip on her waist tightened involuntarily. "Let's go to bed, and I'll show you exactly who I am to you,"I growled, scooping her up in my arms and carrying her towards the bed. I hovered over her, intertwining our hands and gazing intently into her eyes, a venomous glint in my own. "Tell me what you see in my eyes,"I demanded, my voice low and dangerous. Strangely, she remained remarkably calm, her demeanor almost serene. Finally, she spoke, her voice barely a whisper, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "A child," she murmured softly. "What?" I barked, my eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "A little boy," she continued, her voice gaining strength, "who desperately needs protection. A boy who yearns for love, for acceptance, for someone to hold him and never let go. A boy who has always been the shoulder to lean on for others, yet has never found a shoulder to cry on himself. And I... I love this boy." Her smile was fragile, a fleeting expression that mirrored the softening of my own grip on her hands. My eyes stung with a sudden, unexpected wave of emotion. ✰ Falling in love with the daughter of his father's murderer, he found his carefully constructed revenge plan crumbling before his eyes.

"She was a coveted enigma, a forbidden treasure whose allure was undeniable, yet, in some twisted fate, she was entwined with us..." ⋆.˚✮ 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬. ✮˚.⋆ This is a tale intricately woven with threads of betrayal, each chapter drenched in the vivid hues of crimson, a reminder of human sacrifice and the deep despair it breeds. Here lies a saga where trust flickers like a candle in the wind, a fleeting shadow that dances just out of reach, and every heartbeat reverberates with the weight of secrets that are far too heavy to carry. Despite the countless attempts to uncover the truth, everything inevitably gravitated toward the monstrous force that resided deep within the heart of it all. This lurking presence, a grotesque reflection of unspoken fears and concealed desires, looms over every decision and action, illuminating the true battle that rages within. Bonds were severed and reforged, the truth never sparing in its brutality-but they pressed on, entrapped by a toxic addiction that compelled the men to worship the very ground their women graced with their steps. This narrative is not a gentle stroll upon rose petals; instead, it is fraught with venomous thorns, sharp enough to drive the most resolute of hearts to madness. Will you dare to peel back the layers of this tale? Will you uncover the puppet master lurking in the shadows? If your answer is yes, then welcome to the house of The Rajwanshi, a place where wounds fester deeper than the scars of a tormented past. . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁

"𝑨 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕 𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝑶𝒇 𝑯𝒆𝒓 𝑩𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅'𝒔 𝑩𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓." Book 1 in "Dark Fate" series. "They say you can't choose who you fall in love with, and he couldn't agree more. His sister's best friend had captured his heart, and he was consumed by his obsession for her and now, he knows he would never be able to let her go because she belongs with him." • ✧ • There's a kind of love that feels like sunlight - warm, gentle, safe. And then... there's his. It's not cruel. It's not loud. It's something far more dangerous - quiet, calculated, all-consuming. He was my best friend's brother. The man I was never supposed to notice. He watched from the shadows, memorizing me without ever needing a single word. I never really knew his name... but he knew everything about me. My fears. My patterns. My dreams. Even the parts I hadn't yet discovered myself. He's always been there, just a step behind-waiting, watching, wanting. And now, he's no longer waiting. He calls it love. I don't know what to call it, only that it pulls me in like gravity - unavoidable, inescapable. There's safety in his arms, yet danger in his silence. Gentleness in his touch, yet fire in his gaze. And somewhere in the tension between fear and longing, I find myself unraveling. Because the scariest part of being wanted like this... Is realizing you might want them back.
