Some cages aren't made of iron. Some are built with secrets, obsessions, and the cold hands of a man who refuses to let go.

When Reva Desai accepts a high-paying assistant job at the infamous Blackwood Manor, she thinks she's lucky. The estate is luxurious but eerily silent, her employer-Reyaan Rathore-is sinfully handsome yet untouchable, and the rules are simple: obey, stay quiet, and never ask questions.

But the walls whisper at night. Footsteps echo in empty hallways. And behind locked doors, Reyaan hides something much darker than wealth.

The truth unravels one evening when Reva stumbles upon a hidden room-filled with photographs of her, journals detailing her life, and evidence that Reyaan has known her long before they ever met.

She wasn't hired for the job.
She was chosen.
She was hunted.
She was his.

When she tries to run, his grip is unrelenting, his voice a silken warning. "You were never free to leave."

Now, in the heart of a mansion that feels more like a prison, Reva must uncover the truth about Reyaan Rathore-before his twisted love consumes her completely.

Because in this game of obsession and possession, there's only one rule that matters.

She belongs to him.


---

Will Reva ever understand his intentions? 
Will Reva give herself to him?
Will Reyaan free her from his prison?
Will they both find their peace?

Let's find out in the story! ✨

𝐀𝐡𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐕𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐗 𝐋𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡 𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐳𝐚 In the underworld, power is everything, and Ahaan Veer Rathore is the undisputed king. Cold, ruthless, and dangerously intelligent, he built his empire on fear and control. Love? A weakness. Marriage? A trap. But when a long-buried debt forces him into an unwanted union, he lays down an ironclad condition: "You will be my wife in name, my queen in the eyes of the world. But you will never ask for love, never try to touch what I don't give you. If you betray me, I will destroy you myself." "𝗡𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲。 𝗡𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗹。 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆。" He thinks she'll submit. He thinks she'll be just another pawn. But what Ahaan doesn't realize is... Liyana Seraph Mirza never feared anyone-until she met him. She was raised as a queen, untouchable and untamed. But Ahaan is the only man who doesn't bow before her fire-he walks straight into it. She doesn't want his love. She wants him. ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇʟʏ. ᴏʙsᴇssɪᴠᴇʟʏ. ʙʀᴜᴛᴀʟʟʏ. A missing file from twenty years ago.

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.
