𝐀𝐚𝐝𝐡𝐲𝐚 expected a man like her 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐯 ~a protector who would offer her the peace of the mountains and a love that felt like a prayer. She dreamed of a soulmate who would walk beside her in the light, shielding her with divinity. Instead, the universe gave her a storm. She was a vision of purity in ivory silk until he turned her world into a graveyard. She believed she could outrun the shadow of a man who moves with the grace of a predator and rules with a heart of iron. She thought if she ran far enough, she could find a life where he didn't exist. She was wrong. 𝐑𝐚𝐦 is a monster to the world, but a slave to his own dark devotion. He doesn't ask for her love; he demands her soul. He is the man who would slaughter a thousand enemies just to keep her heart beating against his own. To him, she isn't just a woman, she is his religion, his sin, and his only path to heaven. Now, trapped in a cage of gold and marked by his own blood, Aadhya faces a terrifying betrayal: 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭. “𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞?

He only pulled her closer, his obsidian eyes burning with a hollow, terrifying possessiveness. “𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐈'𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐉𝐚𝐚𝐧.
