only you know
"Only You Know" Kidnapped by fate. Bound by a secret only he knows. Aarini was never the kind to bow down. Born in a place where women were told to obey, she chose to break free. She built her life on her own terms-fearless, independent, untamed. Love? She never believed in it. Especially not from a man who thought a simple "yes" was his birthright. But one rejection changes everything. Aarish, a man as ruthless as he is powerful, doesn't make mistakes-until now. One blind moment of trust in the wrong person, and he does the unthinkable. He takes her. And in that instant, he seals both their fates. Now, trapped in a marriage she never wanted, Aarini is torn between hate and something far more dangerous-the slow, burning realization that the man she despises might be the only one who truly sees her. But can she forgive the past? And what happens when she discovers the truth he's been hiding? Hate. Regret. Longing. Love. She was stolen away. But maybe, just maybe, she was never meant to be anywhere else. Only you know...
