Some people are loved.
Some people are chosen.
And then there are people who are marked.
Aarvi has survived her entire life by staying quiet, invisible, and hopeful in small, careful ways. She believes freedom is something you earn with patience, that safety comes from not being noticed, and that love-real love-will come gently, when she finally deserves it.
She is wrong.
Erevos does not believe in love.
He believes in observation, possession, and inevitability.
To him, people are not feelings - they are patterns. And once something disrupts his control, it is studied, named, and claimed. Slowly. Carefully. Permanently.
0505 is not a date.
It is not a coincidence.
It is a mark.
As Aarvi begins to feel watched, followed by a presence she cannot explain, fear settles into her instincts, and paranoia starts to feel justified. What she doesn't know is that she was never being followed.
She was being prepared.
This is not a romance where love saves.
This is not a story where obsession softens.
This is a psychological dark romance about power, control, and what happens when someone decides your identity is optional, your freedom is temporary, and your consent was never required.
Some names are given.
Some are taken.
And once you are marked,
escape is only an illusion.
