Ruin Me Softly. || 18+

Meera Rai is a ghost in her own life-silent, obedient, and trapped in a nightmare she can't escape. To the world, she's just another YouTuber, filming mukbang videos for millions to watch. But behind the screen, it's not a choice. It's survival. Every bite is forced, every meal a punishment, every video a performance for an audience that never questions what's hidden beneath her hollow eyes and bruised skin. Food was once a comfort, something she truly enjoyed-but now, it's just another weapon used against her. And no one sees the truth. No one is coming to save her.

Zaviar Nanda has always craved control-of people, of power, of fate itself. He's now locked behind bars, unbothered by the blood on his hands or the sins he carries. But in the suffocating silence of his prison cell, something unexpected pulls him in-a girl. Her.

He watches her through a grainy screen, over and over again. Her lips parting as she takes a bite, the way she winces when she eats too much, the exhaustion she tries to hide behind fake smiles.

She has no idea she's being watched. No idea that somewhere, in a prison cell, a man she's never met has memorized every detail of her face.

Now, he's free.

And she doesn't know it yet.

But he's coming for her.

Because Meera Rai may think she's trapped in a cage.

But she has no idea what it means to be hunted.
