Ruined In Silence

Lia Antonova was born into legacy.
Poised. Ruthless. Untouchable.
She wasn't raised to chase power-she inherited it.
An heiress with ice in her veins and war in her blood. Bound by legacy, pride, and a code that doesn't flinch at violence.

But in New York, power wears different faces.
And some of them smile.

Advait Ares Knight is New York's most dangerous illusion.
A billionaire wrapped in charm, a playboy by reputation-
But underneath it all, he's quiet fire, patient ruin.

Lia was assigned with one job, to protect the empire's most valuable asset-land that could start a war.

To the world, he's a scandal in a tailored suit. To Lia, he's the enemy who stands between her family and power.

She watches him. Tracks him. Thinks she's in control.

She isn't.

He knew she was coming long before she did.
And when the deal is sealed-not with ink, but with a ring-she realizes too late,
This was never about the land.

Now, she lives in his world-built like a throne. A marriage built like a trap.
Every glance between them a loaded gun.
Every touch, a dare.

She plans his end.
He studies her undoing. Always a step ahead.

What begins as hatred turns into something darker.
Sicker.
Twisted in ways neither of them expected.
A slow yet lethal descent into obsession neither of them can name-
Let alone survive.

Now, they are bound by more than rings.
Bound by silence. By secrets.
By the thrill of destroying each other... slowly.
