。⁠◕ DEDICATION ◕⁠。

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

To the girl who gave too much and never asked to be chosen - no wonder she fell for the villain❤️‍🔥.

And to the man whose obsession was never gentle, who loved her like a sin - dangerous enough to ruin her 🔥.

So he stayed away,

not to save her innocence,

but to keep his darkness from ever reaching her ✨.

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

◉ This is a work of pure fiction. All characters, names, places, and events exist solely within the pages of this story. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

This novel is intended for mature readers aged 18 and above only. If you are under 18, please do not proceed.

Language Note - This story is written in a Hinglish format - a blend of Hindi and English - to stay true to its voice and characters. An English-only version is also available for readers who are not comfortable with Hindi. Both versions carry the same story, the same emotions - just different languages.

Content Warning - This novel contains explicit mature content including - sexual scenes, BDSM dynamics, and smut. All such acts depicted are between consenting adults within the context of the story. This content exists to explore the characters and their relationship - not to promote or glamorize inappropriate behavior.

Trigger Warnings - This story contains depictions of : trauma, violence, obsessive and possessive behavior, stalking, psychological manipulation, abuse, and dark emotional dynamics. Specific trigger warnings will be placed at the beginning of sensitive chapters. Please read with care.

Age Gap - There is an age gap of eight years between the leads - the female lead is 26 and the male lead is 34. This dynamic plays a significant role in their relationship, power balance, and emotional journey throughout the story.

Slow Burn Warning - This is not an instant love story. Their connection is built slowly, painfully, and honestly. Give it time - it will be worth it.

◉ The male lead is not a conventional hero. He is morally grey, possessive, and dangerous. The female lead is guarded, trauma-driven, and fiercely complex. Their dynamic is raw, flawed, and intentionally intense. This story does not glamorize harmful behavior - it explores the grey areas of human nature honestly.

◉ Do not romanticize real-life toxic behavior based on fictional dynamics. Fiction and reality are not the same.

This story will not be easy. It was never meant to be.
