Some people enter your life quietly… and leave a restlessness behind that never truly fades. For Anaya Sharma, it begins with a cold teacher, unspoken arguments, and emotions she cannot understand. Nothing between them is ever called love. Yet somewhere in the silence, something inside her slowly begins to break. Darkness: A Hope is a story about the kind of attachment that cannot be explained— only felt.

At nineteen, Emily was married off to a cold-hearted billionaire as collateral for her father while he works to pay the debt. The deal was simple: Five years as Tony Torredo’s wife… then her freedom. Now the five years is ended but Tony refuses to let her go. Emily’s life becomes even more complicated when her husband’s dangerously charming nephew arrives. Alex Torredo quickly sees the truth behind her perfect marriage, and unlike everyone else, he refuses to look away. What begins as stolen glances soon turns into a forbidden desire. As Emily fights for the freedom she was promised, with Alex as the only man willing to stand beside her, she realizes that escaping Tony Torredo may be far more dangerous than staying. Because men like Tony don’t like losing what belongs to them. And the Torredo family doesn’t forgive betrayal.

A Love Born in Lies A love born in silence. A past buried in shadows. A heart caught between truth and illusion. --- I don’t remember who I was. Not the girl in the mirror. Not the life I left behind. All I know is this mansion… And him—Professor. My husband. Cold. Untouchable. Mysterious. A man who says I belong to him… Yet looks at me like he’s already lost me. He doesn’t smile. He barely speaks. But the way he watches me— Like he's guarding something he’s terrified to break— it haunts me more than the gaps in my memory. Then come the fragments. A sister’s voice. A forgotten diary. A flower shop. A crash. And the moment I start to remember… everything starts to fall apart. --- What if the man I live with is part of the lie? What if the truth is more dangerous than the illusion I’m living in? What if… the love I’m falling into is the one thing I was meant to escape?

Look, I’m Riven Kael. Twenty-eight, data analyst, zero ambition beyond paying rent and avoiding small talk. My life was spreadsheets, instant ramen, and the occasional ghost I pretended not to see. Then one mandatory company gala, because of course it was mandatory, turned into the universe’s worst prank. I touched a cursed amulet. I just touched it. Next thing I know, I’m waking up in a penthouse that costs more than my entire bloodline, sporting a glowing marriage sigil on my wrist, legally and magically hitched to Azryth Valek. Yes, that Azryth Valek. The CEO of half the planet, a walking sin in a three-piece suit, an ancient demon lord who was literally sealed inside said amulet until I accidentally set him free. He says we’re bound. Separation means both of us die slowly and painfully. Soul-consumption optional but very much on the table if I’m stupid enough to fall for him. Which, newsflash, I am not. I’m not. Shut up. So now I’m living with an unfortunately hot CEO from hell, dodging assassination attempts disguised as corporate mergers, banishing spirits that show up at my desk like unpaid interns, and pretending we’re a power couple for the cameras while he smirks like he knows exactly how much I want to strangle him. Or kiss him. Or both. Brain, we are not doing this. I didn’t sign up for boardroom battles, multiversal rifts, or the terrifying realization that the arrogant demon who ruined my life might be the only one who truly sees me. But here I am. Still complaining, still fighting, still falling, against every shred of common sense, hopelessly, stupidly, irrevocably in love. Because when the universe marries you to the devil, it doesn’t ask for consent. It just hands you the ring. And damn it, I’m keeping it.
