πΈ Blurb:
Twelve-year-old Ahana is in 7th standard, full of dreams, doodles, and a heart that just discovered its first little crush. She isn't the boldest girl in class, but when she spots him - the boy with the kind smile - she finds herself trying small talk, silly jokes, and shy glances just to catch his attention.
What Ahana doesn't know is that someone else is watching her - not in a creepy way, but in a way that changes everything.
Devansh, her senior in 9th, is known for being cold, sarcastic, and impossible to read. To others, he's the school's villain. But secretly? He notices Ahana's every move. Her smile, her nervous laugh, even the way she hides her diary when someone walks by.
He doesn't like that she likes someone else.
He doesn't like how innocent she is...
And he definitely doesn't like how much she's beginning to matter to him.
Because sometimes, the person watching from the shadows...
is the one who ends up stepping into the light.

β‘MAHFIL-E-ISHQβ‘ β‘Shriyan Sharmaβ‘ An introvert by nature, calm as a still lake, and ambitious like a boy who carries the weight of the stars in his eyes. A class 12th student who keeps to himself-until he's with his closest friends. Then? He's a whole different person - loud laughs, playful roasts, and the kind of charm that could melt the silence. For him, *rules aren't just rules - they're sacred*. "Discipline is peace," he says, with a straight face and a slightly smug smile. His first and only love? **Books.** pages over people. Ink over emotions. He's the class topper, the teachers' favourite - practically the school's golden boy. With the elegance of a prince and the discipline of a soldier, he unknowingly becomes the *crush of every hallway whisper*. But Shriyan Sharma doesn't even spare them a glance. *"Love? That's a distraction I can't afford."* and yet... destiny's about to test that very belief. -- β‘Siya Rajvanshβ‘ A full-time extrovert, part-time chaos queen, and mischief in human form - Siya, a class 11th student, believes life begins *only* when you start breaking the rules. > *"What fun is life if you follow the manual?"* Though she's a topper too, her brain operates like a backbencher's -sharp, curious, and always plotting her next move.She once made a deal with herself: **Never fall in love.** Because love? That's messy, complicated, and *so not her thing.* Until *he* walks in. Her calm, her opposite, her storm-silencer - **Shriyan Sharma**. Just one encounter with him and her carefully built "no-love" walls start cracking, brick by brick. And now? She's spiraling. Falling. Slowly. Beautifully. Helplessly. The more she tries to understand him, the deeper she falls. > *"He's like a closed book in a language I was born to learn."* she says. β‘But... will the prince of rules ever let a rule-breaker like her into his heart? Or is she just writing a love story in margins he'll never read?

Empire Of Obsession.
He ruled Empire. But she ruled the King. Samrat Adrakansh Singh Rathore is not just the ruler of India. He is the wealthiest, most powerful man alive. A king, a businessman, a shadowed monarch who owns every field-fashion, technology, real estate, motors, even the underworld. His empire stretches beyond borders, his command unquestionable. At 36 with height of 6'7 and body that terrifies and a mind that conquers, he has never heard the word 'no'. Women came and went from his life, none lasting longer than a season. None touched his soul. None dared to defy him. None mattered-until *her*. Anika Srivastava, a 24-year-old fashion influencer and a small brand owner, walks into his world by accident. Petite, 5'3, soft-spoken, and with eyes that expresses all kindness and love she has inside her, she should have been forgettable for him. She should have been just another face in a crowd of designers. But to Adrakansh, she became an obsession. Her designs caught his eye. Her innocence pierced his heart. Her smile drove him insane. Her kindness made his cruelty tremble. Her light dimmed his darkness. And when the King of India wants something, he takes it. But obsession is not love-and his desire for her is not gentle. What begins as fascination spirals into possession, where every breath she takes belongs to him, and every dream she holds risks being shattered under his madness. His obsession is lethal and dark just like his heart and soul. While the sweet and helping Anika has the brightest soul and heart anyone can ever have. In a world where power bows to him, can she survive being the only one he refuses to let go?
