"And since you mentioned I'm Agnihotri, you should know the powers I possess." My throat went dry as he spoke, and my heart filled with frustration towards him. He's too skilled with words, and on top of that,he claims to be the supreme power, and he is. I lowered my gaze again, unable to bear looking at him.
 
With his finger under my chin, he lifted my eyes to meet his, his hazel eyes engulfing me with realizations of the wrongs I'm getting involved in. He murmured, "Let me enjoy gazing at you."

I couldn't help but reply, "I'm not a sight for you to gaze upon." My voice was low, lacking my usual confidence but still enough to assert that he couldn't dominate me.

"You are not just a sight to behold but the most exquisite creation of the universe."

Fixing an alliance seems simple, doesn't it? Two parties coming together, shaking hands, promising cooperation. But what if I told you it's not that straightforward? What if I told you it could all be the beginning of destruction, the inevitable ache?

Welcome to a world where nothing is as it seems. Where trust is a luxury few can afford, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. To truly understand the game of 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 being played, you need to delve into the depths of this book.

A mere trailer, a prologue, a blurb-those won't suffice. You must immerse yourself in the twists and turns of the tale. It will ruin your mental health.

So, are you ready to step into the web of alliances, where every step could lead to triumph or tragedy? The choice is yours. Enter if you dare.

Dev Emending her broken wings | 🔞 by authorsunalii
8 parts Ongoing Mature
Devansh Roy is a 29-year-old, cold-hearted businessman whose activities extend beyond the white-collar world into something far scarier. He has a past he's never shared, which has left his soul hollow. He cares for his siblings and grandparents-but does he love them? According to him, there's no such thing as love. The truth? There was someone who once made him feel. Thirteen years ago, a girl entered his life like a chirping bird-his "Birdie." She stood by him when no one else did, the clingy, nerdy girl he secretly admired for her sweetness and shy nature. She turned his last two years at boarding school in Kasol, far from home, into a lifetime memory. But destiny had other plans-and so did Dev. Devashika is now the proud owner of a small pottery business, a dream she fought hard to build. Raised in a family of lawyers, it was always assumed she would follow the same path. No offense to her family, but her heart was never in the courtroom. She loves Chandigarh-the familiarity of it, the roots it holds-but her dreams pointed her somewhere different, toward creating art that breathes life into clay. With each piece she crafts, she blends old traditions with a modern touch. She's come far, though she lost a lot along the way, including the boy she once fell in love with in school. She doesn't know where he is or what he looks like now. But there's a lot more she doesn't know-a secret he hid during their two years together. Her best friend brings her life-changing news: a company named "Ecoluxe" is seeking art pieces for its new hotels, creating opportunities for local businesses. But someone lurks in the shadows, set to disrupt their lives. Devansh's only option now is to keep his Birdie under his wing-whether by force or by love. Yet he must keep his identity hidden from her.
