He was power.
She was poetry.
But in his world of blood and secrets... poetry never survives.
Zaydeen Sheikh - cold-hearted, dangerously magnetic, and heir to a criminal empire. His name alone sparks fear. But behind those merciless eyes lies a man who burns quietly... and destroys loudly.
Urmiya Lahiri - innocent, kind, and unaware that she's about to step into a world where love is just another weapon.
She wasn't meant to see him.
He wasn't meant to feel for her.
But fate plays dirty... and so does Zaydeen.
Because once she enters his fire,
there's no going back.

And every time, her heart betrayed her; racing, stumbling, fluttering like a caged butterfly chasing a memory. Her breath shortened, her chest tightened, and still, she said nothing.

And rage erupted. Exacting. Demanding. She wasn't supposed to wear that dress. She wasn't supposed to carry his name. But now that she does... There's no turning back.Complete
