Book Three of The Cost of Outrunning Fate
∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

Allure in her eyes, poison in her soul-
and still, he chased her with open veins.
∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

Saad Rochefort, the most feared mafia king of France, had come to India with one mission -
To find the mother he thought was dead.

Disguised as just Saad, COO of Thaakur Dynamics, he kept a low profile.
Until the day of Holi.

That's when he saw her -
Ruhi Singh.
The most dangerously beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on.

And just like his father had once fallen for a dancing woman in a foreign land,
Saad's obsession began.

But Ruhi wasn't ordinary.
She was Hex - the most wanted international hacker.
A ghost in the system. A phantom in the real world.

He didn't know her name.
Couldn't trace her face.
But he knew one thing-
ordinary people don't vanish like that.

Only predators.
Only people too dangerous to exist on paper.

And yet, he chased her.

Because despite the alarms blaring in his mind,
he was already addicted.
To the mystery.
To the danger.
To her.

She was chaos in heels.
A myth in silk.
And she'd become his obsession.

His Siren.
Unreachable. Untraceable. Unforgettable.
And he'd do anything-
burn borders, bend laws, betray blood-
just to make her his.
