His Deewani
Villian, how is it to fall for a villain? A person who is cruel enough to burn people alive but can't see a scratch on his own love. She fell for the one everyone warned her about-the villain with a broken past and a heart already claimed by another. She fell for the one they all feared-the man who belonged to a brutal mafia empire, a man shaped by blood, betrayal, and a past he never spoke about. To the world, he's a monster. His presence screams dannger, eyes cold and void. To her, he's story written in scars and silence- unreadable, but impossible to ignore. She knew he was in love with someone else-someone he could never have, yet could never let go. Still, her heart chose him. Day by day, she stayed-watching him unravel, loving him in shadows, quietly, fiercely enduring his storms, hoping for nothing... except the chance to be near him. But what happens when the girl who sees the villain as a person, becomes his only path to redemption? A tale of obsession, heartbreak, and the brutal beauty of loving someone who does not love you, of a girl who dared to love the Villain- A villain who may never love her back... until it's too late.

𝙋𝙖𝙠𝙝𝙞 : His Sinful Obsession
#trending 1 on 17-10-25 (#book-2 of PAKHI ) PROLOGUE :- I've seen the love that burned its own home to ashes. I've seen him drown himself in alcohol-not for pleasure, not for addiction-but to escape her. To blur the edges of the memories that refused to fade. Her presence haunts him like a ghost he can't outrun. And his heart... I've seen it clench, tremble, shatter. Over and over again. I was there when he fell to his knees for her. I've witnessed every single change in him-because of her. She didn't just love a monster... she changed him. She turned the devil into a man. And yet- She left. Left him with nothing but misunderstandings and silence. And now, their lives have once again dived into the same ocean they once tried to swim across together- An ocean full of hate, betrayal, ruthlessness. New entries are coming-people who will twist their fate. Old secrets are still buried, hidden faces moving the pieces behind the destruction I'm standing in the middle of. He once burned a country when he said he hated her. And she? She stood still. Took everything he threw at her. The pain. The humiliation. The disrespect. Like she was born to carry it. But just think. Just think for a moment. Just for a fucking moment- What happens... when they love each other again? What happens when the misunderstandings clear, when the pain turns to passion, when the hate turns into something softer, deeper, dangerous? What happens when he claims her again? If hate made him burn the world- What the hell will love make him do?

For a moment, she stayed still, like silence was her last shield. Then she exhaled, broken and tired. "I tried to hide it," she said softly, "but you wouldn't let me." ⋆ ── ⋆ ── ⋆ Truths are louder than secrets, merciless, burning, and impossible to ignore. Kairav Goenka was on a quest for the truth that was far too dangerous for him. All of this was because of the girl he had fallen for. The questions she buried in silence continued to haunt him. She had tried to protect him, battling against silence, distance, and every ounce of strength she had left. Yet, she couldn't prevent him from stepping into her world, a world she had spent years trying to escape. Now the truth was waiting, and the real question was what would remain once it surfaced? Because some love stories don't unfold. They circle back and begin again. ***** This is NOT a standalone book.

He will step into her life out of nowhere, on a night so black the stars choke on their own light, and twist it until it screams. She will let him, at first. She will let him ruin her. Until she belongs to 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞. Until she can't even belong to 𝐡𝐢𝐦. And that's where everything starts to burn. Because somewhere between the threats and the ruin, between the lies and the blood - something far more dangerous takes root. A love that tastes like vengeance. A love that kills as much as it keeps alive. A love that is both a weapon and a wound. Because yes, 𝕴𝖙'𝖘 𝖆 𝖙𝖆𝖑𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝖗𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖓𝖌𝖊. Revenge that will scar souls, ruin innocence, destroy lives, and expose secrets that will shatter their existence. She's not weak. She's not fragile. But she will scream. She will cry. She will bleed. He is strong. He is unbreakable. But he will shatter. He will fall. He will break. Because again, it's a tale of revenge. And of a love that will burn them to ash. But one question cuts deeper than all the rest - 𝕽𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖓𝖌𝖊, 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞?
