"No..." She shook her head, the word scraping out of her throat.
"No, no... everything was a lie." Her voice rose, cutting through the silence.
"You were a lie."
She staggered back a step, but her eyes never left his. They burned ..grief and fury tangled so tightly she couldn't separate them.
"You're a monster," she spat. "You played me. You played our entire-"Her breath hitched.
"The whole fucking relationship was a lie." The fresh tear slipped free, hot against her skin. Then another. But her chin stayed lifted, stubborn, refusing to crumble in front of the man who had broken her.
"I don't want to be with you,"
she said. Quiet. Steady. The kind of steady that comes when there's nothing left to burn.
Then Arjun chuckled.
It wasn't amused.
It wasn't surprised.
It was darker. Colder.
"You really think you can just walk away?" he murmured, stepping closer.
His shadow swallowed the distance between them.
"Love... you don't have a choice."
She went rigid as his fingers cupped her chin.
"Because if I have to chain you," he whispered, eyes full of a devotion that looked too much like madness,
"I won't hesitate."
Lightning flashed behind him, turning his face into a silhouette carved from obsession.
"I will do whatever it takes to keep you."
Shivanya's breath shook, fear and anger and betrayal knotting together until she couldn't tell where one ended and the other began.
she understood something terrifying:
Arjun didn't just love her.
He owned her.
And monsters never let go of what they claim.

"Her Innocent King "
He never wore a crown, never held a gun... but still, he ruled her world. She was born with blood on her hands and fire in her veins-the mafia princess everyone feared. A girl who could break ribs without breaking a sweat, yet secretly dreamed of fairy tales. And he? He was just a boy with flour-dusted fingers and a heart too pure for her dark world. A gamer. A dreamer. The last person you'd expect to survive her storm. But fate doesn't ask for permission. One forced marriage. One innocent heart trapped in her dangerous empire. One girl who would tear down the underworld to protect the only man who made her feel human. She was raised to be a queen of crime- But for him, she chose to be his princess first... and his protector forever. After all, he wasn't just her husband. He was... Her innocent King. 👑Complete
HIS QUEEN HER KING
She was innocent-too innocent for a world like his. Or so he thought. She had lived a simple life, untouched by the blood-soaked world he ruled. A girl with dreams, warmth, and a heart that had never known cruelty. But fate was never kind, and in one ruthless moment, she was thrown into the hands of a man who thrived in the dark. He was a ghost, a king among criminals. Feared, respected, and merciless, his power stretched far beyond what most could imagine. He had seen countless people break under his rule-some begged, some fought, but all eventually submitted. But not her. She met his cold gaze with fire, refused to crumble beneath his threats. He thought she was afraid, that she despised him for taking away the life she once knew. He wanted her to hate him-it was easier that way. And yet, something about her didn't make sense. She adapted too quickly, learned too fast. The fear in her eyes began to fade, replaced by something else-something darker. The way she handled a gun, the way she looked at the chaos around her... it wasn't terror. It was fascination. Then, the truth hit him like a bullet. She wasn't just some innocent girl caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was born for this world. And worse-she was enjoying every second of it.
