The Beautiful Damnation {ON HOLD}

THE BEAUTIFUL RUIN DUOLOGY - BOOK 1

8 SOULS. 8 LIES. WHICH TRUTH WILL BURN YOU ALIVE?

SHRAVYA × VEDARTH
The nurse burst through."Doctor! Patient 301 is awake."
Vedarth sat up, eyes wild, searching the white room."My wife. Where is she?"
"Why won't you tell me?" His voice fractured. "Why won't you tell me I buried her?"
He stared at the empty doorway. "I buried her with my own hands. But the coffin was empty."

ARHAAN × KHWAAB
He entered like smoke. One step. Then another.
Khwaab watched, unblinking, as he stopped before her.
"You're not afraid."
Her hands lifted, graceful: Should I be?
His jaw tightened, waiting for shock. It never came.
"You should be asking what I know."
Her fingers danced.
Then, for the first time, her voice emerged, soft and devastating: "Ask me who paid for your accident."

AARON × INAAYAT
The photograph trembled in her grip.
Twin faces. One her husband. One the ghost she loved.
"You knew."
"Yes."
"You knew I loved him?"
Aaron's fingers crushed her wrist, yanking her flush against him."I gave you this life."
"You took my choice."
His grip tightened, merciless."You don't get choices." His breath burned against her pulse. "Not who you love. I decided the day I saw you."
"I don't belong-"
"Don't say it. You belong exactly where I put you."

KABIR × SASHA
Two weapons. Two heartbeats. Neither willing to end this.
Kabir's barrel traced her throat, lazy and cruel.
"Shoot," she breathed.
"You first."
Neither moved.
His gaze dropped to her mouth. "You're shaking."
"I'm deciding."
His smirk twisted."Liar."
She stepped closer, erasing the space. "If I pull this trigger-"
"Then do it." He pressed the barrel between her lips, slow and filthy. "Suck it like you want to suck me." He dragged the metal across her tongue, watching her eyes darken. "Pull the trigger. End me." His free hand gripped her throat. "But we both know you don't want me dead, darling. You want me on my knees. And I'm already there."
