"When obsession learns the language of love, every 'I love you' is a chain"
Riya laughs the loudest and bleeds the quietest. Scarred by an emotionally distant childhood, she hides behind wit and sarcasm-but her eyes always give her away. College is supposed to be a fresh start, a chance to breathe.
But then enters Raghuveer-silent, intense, and fiercely focused. The class achiever who never lets anyone in. But something about Riya stirs the parts of him he's kept buried. He swore he'd never fall again... but some promises break too easily.
On the other hand there's Rohan-the golden boy, the sweetest guy and Raghuveer's rival. Untouchable but sweet, he never fell for a girl until he notices Riya, for the first time. But what does he really want-her love, or something far more dangerous?
As obsession blurs into affection, peace shatters. With betrayals, buried pasts, and someone determined to erase her,Riya is no longer just a bystander. In a city that sees everything and a war no one speaks of, survival comes down to one thing: how far she'll go when love turns lethal.
"I didn't want to love you. I wanted to own you-tear you apart and put you back together, so you'd never breathe without remembering who you belonged to"

But his breathing was heavy and hot against my skin. He placed hard kisses on my back with his hand wrapped around my stomach to hold me in place. I gasped at the warmth of his kisses. "Why do you own something like this?" He asked coldly. "I-I bought it for a date," I stuttered out. A small bite on my back made me shoot up with a small yelp. "You were going to wear this for some other guy?" Damien's voice dripped with jealousy. "And what if I was?" I mocked, indulging in the stinging I felt where his lips touched. "Then you need to be punished," he said in a low voice. MATURE: Depictions of sex, violence, and profanity #1 in Books #1 in Cute #1 in Comedy #1 in Funny #2 in Hot #4 in Love #5 in DramaComplete
