Some fates are written in light. Others are carved in shadows.
At seventeen after passing out his Class XII boards, Rocky leaves the crowded streets of Kolkata for the damp skies of the United Kingdom, armed with nothing but a student visa, a dream of higher education, and a part-time job to keep a roof over his head. His life is simple, predictable-until the death of Markus Veylor changes everything.
Markus, a billionaire Rocky has never met, leaves behind not only his vast fortune, but also a will with an unexpected name: Rocky's. Alongside with his three privileged grandsons-James, Oliver, and Raymond-Rocky is summoned into a world of marble halls, sharp smiles, and unspoken rivalries.
The brothers welcome him, eager to know the stranger who doesnt even shares their bloodline. But destiny takes a darker turn when Rocky meets Darkkon-the "illegitimate" son of Markus Veylor, and the family's forbidden shadow. Sixteen years older, with eyes like winter storms and a presence that consumes every breath in the room, Darkkon is both temptation and warning.
Rocky, a devoted follower of the Mother Goddess Adi Shakti, clings to the belief that his path has already been written by divine hands. His faith tells him no matter how hard he tries there's no escape but still he tries to resist the "sinful" longing that coils in his chest whenever Darkkon draws near. But the more he fights it, the more inescapable it becomes.
Because Darkkon has already decided-Rocky is his. Claimed not by words, but by a dangerous, unrelenting obsession. And Darkkon will scorch the earth, tear down the Veylor empire, and burn the very heavens if that is what it takes to win him.
What begins as an unexpected inheritance becomes a descent into desire, power, and family secrets buried for generations. And in the Veylor world, love is never pure-it is possession, and possession always comes with a price.

TOXIC
"Love wasn't supposed to be my downfall. But she was never just love-she was an addiction." The room reeked of whiskey and regret. Riyaan Singh Malhotra leaned against the windowpane, the city lights reflecting in his cold grey eyes. His grip on the crystal glass tightened as he watched the rain lash against the glass. She was gone. Again. Rivian Rajvansh wasn't supposed to mean anything. She was a foolish girl with stars in her eyes and a laugh that could make the world stop. Soft, delicate-completely unfit for the world he ruled. And yet, she had walked into his life like a sunrise breaking through an endless night. She had touched him, not just with her hands, but with her heart-something no one had dared to do before. He had warned her. Told her a hundred times that love had no place in his world. That he was a monster, a man drenched in blood and sins she could never imagine. But she stayed. Until she didn't. Now, he was chasing shadows, haunted by the ghost of her laughter and the taste of her lips-both his salvation and his destruction. She was the only addiction he could never quit. The only weakness he had. And Riyaan Singh Malhotra didn't do weaknesses. --- Tropes Included: ✔ Forced Marriage - A contract binds them, but emotions complicate everything. ✔ MML Obsessed with FML - She is his addiction, his weakness, his everything. ✔ Sunshine × Grumpy - She is the light; he is the storm. ✔ Age Gap - He is older, ruthless, and dominant; she is young, fiery, and innocent. ✔ Dark Romance - Possession, control, and an all-consuming love that blurs the line between obsession and devotion. Their love is toxic, dangerous, and inescapable-and neither of them would have it any other way.Complete
Phantom Bonds ~ Unfortunate addiction
𝐏𝐭.𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐒 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 ⋆₊˚༺𖦹❖𖦹༻ ˚₊⋆ Silence surrounded me, as if this place existed outside of time itself. No sound at all except for my own heartbeat, pounding in my ears. A single step onto that path could mean death. I stood still at the threshold, my hands gripping the rough, weathered stone of the open doors. I didn't step forward. And then; A whisper. Low. Soft. Almost- 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨. "प्रिया हृदयेश्वरी... वे आप हमारे साथ आएगी ना? विक्रमात्मिका, मेरा समिक्षा |" ("Beloved Praneshwari [Soul's Queen/ Soul's Goddess].... won't you come with me? Vikramātmikā [Vikram's soul/essence/embodiment], My Samiksha.") The voice slid through the air, curling around my name with an unsettling familiarity. It was neither a demand nor a question. It simply... was. My heart pounded. My breath caught. Who was it? I turned my head sharply to the right. No one. Swallowing, I turned to the left; And there he stood. A figure, towering at least a feet above me. Gazing at me with those unreadable-Amber eyes. I gasped. And then I woke up. Gasping. Soaked in sweat. As if I had truly been there; lived it, breathed it, barely survived it. "Samiksha...", A voice - real - behind me. I turned. Vikram Rao Nandan. My alliance husband. Sat there... eyes the same burning, intense, but this time they burned like the ones in my dream. Before I could speak, he did. And his voice was different. Final. Like a verdict. "You and I are always meant to be, my beloved. Even if I have to hunt you down from the ends of the world... even from the depths of darkness itself. We belong together. 𝐕𝐢𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐦 & his 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚- 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳."
The State of the Vanished
Pushkar wakes like an old raga - same tune, new day. Bells slice the sky gold, chai steam curls like a question. Women sweep away yesterday's wars, men polish debts like heirlooms. Between mango trees and ghats, gossip buys more than coins. Tradition runs thick here, stubborn as blood. This is a tale of two cages. One stands in Ajmer: a police station smelling of ink and duty. Inside walks Veer Pratap Singh - six-foot-two, jaw tight, truth tattooed to his bones. He hates lies like rot, burns for justice but never breaks a promise. Rescue without consent, he believes, is just another prison. The other cage hides in a Pushkar haveli under Devendra Rajawat's rule. Nineteen-year-old Bulbul twirls when asked to sit still, her laughter stitched with rebellion. She and her mother sell secret jars of *Chatora Aachar*, white lies tucked between lids. To her, lies can save lives, and even gods turn away. This is the clash of order and rebellion, of a fortress meeting a firecracker. It asks: who saves whom? Who decides what freedom looks like?Complete!["HIS AMOR" [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/365475722-256-k70278.jpg)

Chains {JoongDunk}
The Archen estate is not a home. It's a gilded cage. Behind the polished walls and silk curtains, cruelty drips like poison into everything it touches. When the Archen family bought Dunk Natachai from his own blood, it wasn't a wedding - it was a transaction. A boy sold off to silence his father's debts, to seal a name that was never meant to be his. It should have been his sister. She's hated him ever since. But Joong saw Dunk once - one single look - and wanted him. So the house swallowed him whole. Dunk grew up in bruises and broken promises, in a family where love never came without pain. But nothing - nothing - could have prepared him for the Archen mansion. A house full of strangers with matching blood and blackened hearts. Grandfather to aunt, uncle to mother, father to siblings - they don't see him as a husband. They see him as property. An outsider. A servant with a ring on his finger. And every day, Joong - the golden son, the one who claimed him - holds Dunk with gentle hands and soft eyes. He speaks like love is enough. He doesn't hear the whispers behind the walls. He doesn't see what they do when he's gone. Dunk never tells him. So Dunk screams instead. He shatters plates and windows, throws furniture against walls that already suffocate him. He lashes out, he burns down every tender word Joong gives him. He's loud because it's the only way to still feel real. He's breaking because no one else will hear the sound of it. Joong loves him like he's something precious. Dunk hates him like he's the cage itself. This isn't a love story. It's a war inside a house that smiles for the world and bleeds behind closed doors.Complete
