Wedded in the Shadows
In the underworld, love is a weapon-and she became his favorite one.

Anya Sharma never believed in monsters-until the night she was dragged into a world ruled by one.

Aleksandr Volkov is more than just a name whispered in fear across Europe. He is the King of the Russian Bratva, a man with blood on his hands and ice in his veins. When a secret alliance binds them in a hidden marriage, Anya finds herself trapped in a deadly game of power, revenge, and deception.

To the world, she's just a translator.
To him, she's his bargaining chip-his wife on paper, a pawn in his empire.
But what happens when the pawn starts to play her own game?

She was never meant to enter his world.
He was never meant to crave her fire.
But in the shadows, obsession grows faster than trust-and love is just a lie they both forgot not to believe in.

A forbidden marriage. A brutal king. A girl who was never supposed to matter.
This isn't a love story.
This is a war between hearts and thrones.

The Faded Vows by lynk992925
52 parts Ongoing
He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.

|| Book one of The Royal Sins || { Even if her soul resists, he'll shackle destiny to bring her to his throne.} -------------------------------- "Strip." The word hit me like a thunderclap, freezing every nerve in my body. I stared at him, wide-eyed, unable to comprehend if I had heard him right. "Did I stutter?" he asked, his voice cold and unrelenting. My hands clutched my lehenga instinctively, my breath hitching as his words settled over me like chains. "P-please... no," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "Don't make me repeat myself, Luna," he said, stepping closer, his towering presence suffocating. "This is your punishment for running away." Tears blurred my vision as I shook my head, falling to my knees. "I'm sorry," I cried, my voice trembling. "I didn't mean to-" "Sorry isn't enough," he cut me off, his tone sharper, harsher. "You disobeyed me. Do you think I'll let that go unpunished?" I sobbed, my hands trembling as I pressed them to the cold floor. "I can't... I can't do this," I begged, my voice cracking. "You can, and you will," he growled, crouching down so that his face was inches from mine. His dark eyes pierced through me, leaving me bare without him even touching me. "Do it, Haseena. Or I'll make sure you regret it even more." His words burned into my mind, twisting my fear into something I couldn't name. My hands trembled as I clutched my lehenga tighter, my tears falling harder. Would he really force me? Was this who he truly was? Or was it me who had pushed him to this edge? Even if her soul resists, he'll shackle destiny to bring her to his throne. In the forgotten halls of Patliputra's palace, Anubhav Singh's obsession with Haseena Malik deepens, entangling her in a world of power and dark desires.
