Bound By Shadows

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! ✨
