Their marriage was built on family ties, not love or at least, that's what he believed.
To him, it was a responsibility. To her, it was everything.
She entered the marriage with a heart full of hope, believing that one day, he might return her love. But Zayan Malik had long buried his ability to feel, to connect especially with someone who looked at him with such quiet devotion.
Seeing that hope in her eyes, he pulled away not out of cruelty, but to protect her from the hollowness inside him. What he didn't realize was that his silence, his absence, his indifference... would shatter her heart more deeply than any harsh word ever could.
And when he left without a goodbye, she thought the pain had reached its peak.
Until she discovered she was carrying his child.

DISCLAIMER: This book contains explicit content and mature themes intended for readers aged 18 and over. It is not a traditional romance, but rather a deeply complex and dark exploration of a toxic relationship. The characters' dynamics involve intense emotional manipulation, power struggles, and actions that may be triggering to some readers. Please be advised that this story delves into themes that are explicit, emotionally charged, and may not be suitable for all audiences. Proceed with caution. "Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?

She's being forced to marry the man she's hated for years. The man her sister once loved. The man who might have killed her. Four years ago, Viya Mehra's sister died in the arms of the one person who was supposed to protect her-Viansh Rajvansh. Her boyfriend. Her world. Her end. The whispers never stopped. Neither did the nightmares. And now, neither can Viya-because her family just signed her life away in a deal she didn't ask for. She's marrying him. Cold. Controlled. Untouchable. Viansh is everything Viya despises... and everything she can't ignore. But the more she tries to unravel the truth behind her sister's death, the deeper she falls into a twisted game of secrets, guilt-and something far more dangerous. Desire. What happens when hatred burns into longing? When the truth is darker than the lie she's believed all her life? When the only man who makes her feel alive... might have destroyed the person she loved most? Some love stories start with a kiss. Theirs begins with a death. Read at least 15 chapters and decide♡ A love never meant to be... or was it destined all along? Not all love stories are written in promises-some are carved in scars.
