BOUND BY FATE- IGNITED BY FIRE
Samaira lived her life bound by her father's expectations, always doing what was right. When he introduced her to Harsh, she never expected to fall for him. But just as love began to bloom, a decade-old promise shattered her world-forcing her into an engagement with Ryan Raichand, her cold, enigmatic boss and a billionaire in the gemstone industry. Ryan never wanted marriage, especially not with a woman already in love with someone else. Yet, he couldn't escape the weight of his father's word, a promise tying him to Samaira in a fate neither of them chose. Their engagement became a battlefield-filled with icy stares, clashing wills, and a pull neither of them wanted to acknowledge. Resentment simmered, unspoken emotions waged war between them, and yet, something even more dangerous lurked in the shadows. As Ryan's enemies surface, the danger becomes all too real. Ruthless rivals circle, but the real threat isn't from the outside-it's someone much closer, watching, waiting, playing a long game neither of them saw coming. As secrets unravel and betrayals cut deep, Ryan finds himself tested-his strength, his loyalty, and an unexpected protectiveness over the woman he never wanted but can no longer ignore. In a world where love and betrayal collide, Samaira and Ryan must navigate a web of deception before it's too late. But when the final truth is revealed, will their fragile bond survive-or will it shatter along with everything they once believed?Complete

And the fact that you can stand here, smile at him, hold his hand, and then come to me with polite little words like thank you" He shook his head, his jaw tight "It makes me sick" My chest tightened. Fear. Guilt. Something else i couldn't name. I opened my mouth to speak, but his had shot up, just hovering inches from my cheek. "Don't thank me. Don't ever thank me. Because I'm not your hero, Evelyn. I'm your Damnation."Complete
