Novels by Victoy Richman

Maybe the storm was a blessing in disguise — a fierce, roaring sign from the universe that they were finally allowed to choose each other again. The rain hammered the windows like a thousand heartbeats, thunder rolling across the sky as if the heavens themselves were cheering them on. They had talked for hours, laying bare every fear, every wound, every beautiful possibility. They had weighed the pain, the secrets, the woman waiting back home — and still they chose this. They chose forever.Isha had never seen her own future so clearly. When she closed her eyes and reached for visions, Zayn’s face was always there — steady, loving, hers. The darkness that sometimes blurred the edges felt distant now, unimportant. She had communed with the goddess earlier, heart open, and made her vow: if this love cost her everything, she would follow him even into the afterlife. For once, her soul felt at rest. She wanted nothing more than to be held by him, filled by him, to carry his child and buil

A Journey of Connection. Everyone in town was shopping for the next three days and rushing home to avoid getting caught up in the storm predicted by the weather forecasters. It was expected to hit in four hours and last for three days. It was a big-time rush, but Zayn wasn't a part of it. He needed to get things cleared up with Isha. Myra was gone, and that was a good thing. He just needed to see her, and despite the advice from his closest friends, he couldn't wait for the storm to pass without her. He wasn't sure he would make it without her.He was informed that she was out when he got to the Yadav household. It was her day off, and she had gone out, as usual. Only some people knew where. He called her several times, and she didn't pick up. He was a confused man in Delhi.He drove back to the Yadav household and met with one of the helpers."You should go home; this storm will be here anytime." She said, picking different saree colours from the clothes line where they had been lef

They caught her at her most vulnerable, overwhelmed by Zayn's issues. When she realised she had been set up, she gave up, feeling defeated. There was no fight; she knew it was either the 78-carat crown or her life, and for such a huge amount, her attackers wouldn’t need a conference to decide to kill her. She let them take everything that had meant the world to her, sinking into despair. The memory stayed with her, vivid as if it were happening now. She and her crew had been heading to the Triumph Hall on East Lane for the Oscars. When asked to bring her crown, she knew it was a bad idea. She understood that all eyes would be on her at such a huge event. If it were in India, it would be a shame not to witness it. Showing up without her crown would be a disrespect to her country and her identity, making the crown more than just jewellery-it was her symbol. Near home, she and Vivi sat behind the car seat and talked about the event's outcome, laughing and sharing memories. She had plann

Isha knelt alone in the small temple room at the back of the Yadav house, the storm now reduced to a steady drizzle against the carved windows. Incense smoke curled around her like a living thing. She had come here straight from Zayn’s arms, still carrying the scent of him on her skin.Her hands trembled as she lit another stick of sandalwood.Goddess, I begged you for clarity, she thought, pressing her forehead to the cool stone floor. You gave me the storm. You gave me his child growing inside me. And still you show me the lake.The vision from earlier flashed again — the glowing crown wrapped in the creature’s coils, Zayn’s hand slipping from hers, blood blooming in black water. She squeezed her eyes shut, but the image only sharpened.He almost told Myra everything tonight. I felt it the moment he kissed me goodbye. The guilt in his touch. The way his fingers lingered on my breasts like he was memorising them in case he never got to touch them again.Isha sat back on her heels and

Myra stepped through the front door of their penthouse, and the storm outside felt like it had followed her in. Rainwater dripped from her gym bag onto the marble floor. Her thighs still trembled faintly from the locker-room encounter, her nipples tender beneath the damp sports bra. The anonymous voice on the phone kept echoing: *The creature only hunts those who touch what belongs to the goddess… or the men who love the women who do.*Zayn was at the kitchen island, shirtsleeves rolled up, pouring two glasses of wine as if nothing in the world had shifted. The sight of him — broad shoulders, the familiar crease between his brows — twisted something sharp in her chest.“Hey,” he said, voice warm, automatic. He crossed the room and pulled her into his arms before she could speak. His hand slid down her back, settling possessively on the curve of her ass. “You’re soaked. Rough workout?”Myra let herself lean into him for a second, breathing in the scent of his cologne and the faint trace

It had been four days since her encounter with Myra, and Isha couldn't deny that she felt like the most stupid person on the planet, overwhelmed by regret and confusion. The funny part was that she knew she had no right to be angry, since the guy was in a relationship with someone else. Officially, he belonged to Myra, but then she couldn't get the picture of him being in bed with her. It disturbed her in ways she didn't expect, making her question everything.Her hurt was too much. It nearly crushed her, but she needed to keep moving, which she did. She stopped answering his calls and generally avoided him. She tried to look on the bright side, like him not dying, which was good, right?As usual, the Yadavs had a get-together dinner, something they frequently did to boost their political involvement and expand their territory. Today, she was to serve, and she tried her best to stay calm when she saw Zayn seated among the VIPs. Of course, he had been invited; he was considered one of t

The Currency of Treachery and the Geopolitical Kiss.The Trident rooftop in Mumbai was a theatre of shattered illusions, symbolising the fragile balance of global power. Rachna had insisted on the venue for the public announcement of the Aero-Lodge acquisition, transforming the cold, opulent suite into a backdrop for her victory. But the victory had turned to ashes. Vinod’s legal team had scrambled all night, successfully invoking the contract’s termination clause and legally freezing the guaranteed buyback sum in escrow, halting Karen’s financial Trojan horse just hours before the corrupted wire transfer was set to execute. The money was safe, but the architecture of their deceit was exposed, threatening the geopolitical stability they sought to control.Minister Savita stood rigidly beside Rachna, dressed in impeccable diplomatic jade, her smile fixed and terrifyingly hollow. Vinod and Rubi stood flanking them, Vinod managing the ca

The Climax and the Command.Vinod’s surrender was immediate and absolute; his hands instinctively moved to grip the sides of her head, anchoring himself to the moment, a silent acknowledgement that she was the one directing the rhythm. As she continued her relentless, utterly commanding movements, he found himself entirely absorbed in her face.It was in this moment of raw vulnerability that Vinod confessed the absolute necessity of her presence. His words were an intimate declaration. “You are the only one, Rubi,” he murmured, his voice thick with reverence and a thrilling danger, “who truly sees the whole damn show. The only one who commands my absolute, complete surrender.”Rubi absorbed the declaration, the words fueling her pleasure. Her hair, a dark, silken curtain, cascaded around his manhood as she continued her oral devotion, her movements relentless, her control unquestioned.Vinod gripped her arms,

The Price of Fealty and the Currency of the Dream.The cold, precise fury of Rachna was a tangible force. She had summoned Vinod and Rubi from their Delhi base with a single, coded word—Rupture—and the three architects of the dynasty now stood facing each other in the opulent, empty conference room adjacent to Rachna’s private suite in Mumbai. The signed contract, the physical evidence of Karen’s calculated treachery and Rahul’s absolute betrayal, lay exposed on the mahogany table like a corpse.Savita, still clad in a borrowed silk robe from Rachna’s closet, was a silent sentinel by the window, her usual regal composure replaced by a terrifying, frozen stillness. Her political instinct, the one that had spotted the ghost code, had saved them from immediate financial collapse, but the existential threat remained.“The wire transfer protocol was corrupted,” Rachna stated, her voice dangerously calm,

A Sharply Executed Betrayal Unfolds in the Shadows of Intimacy**.Rachna accepted the command, her hands moving possessively over Savita, using the banter of treachery to fuel the desire. “She looked at Rahul as if she owned him, believing her transaction gave her leverage. I watched him stand behind me, her trophy, as he ensured she signed the contract that made her financially subservient. I secured his absolute fealty while she believed she was securing her freedom.”Savita responded by deepening their kiss, her hands moving to cup Rachna’s semi-bound breasts, asserting her dominance with a profound proprietary love.Rachna led Savita to the shallow steps of the pool, positioning herself so Savita leaned back, exposing her vulnerability as Rachna knelt before her, performing a long, deliberate act of devotion that shattered Savita's composure.Savita cried out, arching her back, her fingers gripping the edge of the po

The Price of Fealty and the Discovery of the Serpent.The air in the private wing of Rachna's Mumbai residence was a controlled environment of cool professionalism and absolute luxury. Minister Savita’s travel and logistics were a masterpiece of coordinated influence: a private helicopter from the Delhi political theatre to a secluded rooftop landing pad, bypassing all commercial and press scrutiny. She arrived late in the evening, her purpose clear: to finalise the public announcement regarding the Aero-Lodge—now officially under the control of the new, subservient Western management firm, marking a pivotal shift in their power play and solidifying their dominance.Savita entered the suite, shedding the heavy silk-and-gold shawl that marked her public persona. She found Rachna in her private planning room, a space dominated by a massive digital map of the Indian subcontinent, now peppered with new financial and political indicators. Rachna

A Kingdom Reclaimed.Rahul and Karen lay for a long time, entangled and secure, before moving slowly to the immense, mirrored dressing area. Karen retrieved a silk robe for herself, pulling it on with a fluid, regal grace. She handed Rahul a thick, warm towel.Karen stood behind Rahul as he dried his hair, their reflected images a tableau of shared, intimate conspiracy. The physical exhaustion was fading, replaced by a cool, strategic resolve.“The execution is complete,” Karen confirmed, her voice low and efficient. She stood close to him, her hands resting proprietarily on his shoulders, tracing the lines of his betrayal. Highlighting the significance of this act will deepen the reader's respect for their calculated moves, engaging their curiosity about the unfolding scheme.Rahul met her gaze in the mirror, his expression now sharp and calculating. “Not until the transfer is expected to execute. The Trojan ho
