The afternoon sun hung lazily over Zayden’s mansion, casting a golden glow across the sprawling estate. The place was eerily quiet, the kind of silence that carried danger within its folds. Zayden had made sure of that—his security was tighter than ever, and his movements had become calculated.

For few days now, he had barely stepped out of his home, which had raised suspicions in the underworld. His enemies wondered if he was plotting something. His allies whispered about his uncharacteristic retreat. But Mia—she knew better.

Something was keeping him here.

Or rather, someone.

And today, she intended to find out who.

Hema sat in the lush garden of the mansion, absorbed in a book. The gentle rustling of leaves, the warm afternoon breeze, and the rare moment of peace made her feel almost normal. Almost.

But she should have known—peace was an illusion in Zayden’s world.

The moment she heard heavy footsteps approaching from behind, her body tensed. Before she could react, a strong hand

  • DEVIL’s GRIP   Chapter 104-A Battle of Wills

    Hema barely reacted when Zayden turned the key and pulled the heavy door open.The lock clicked open—a sound that should’ve brought her relief. But she knew better. Zayden never did anything without a reason.He stood there, watching her with unreadable eyes, his tall frame leaning against the doorframe like he had all the time in the world.She waited for him to speak, to issue another one of his smug, condescending commands. But he didn’t.Hema didn’t ask why he was suddenly setting her free. There was no point. Speaking to him was like speaking to fire—no matter how much sense you made, you’d only end up burned.Instead, she walked past him, silent and deliberate.But she barely made it two steps before his hand closed around her wrist.Hema stiffened.His grip wasn’t painful, but it was firm—possessive, in the way that only Zayden knew how to be.“Ignoring me now, sweetheart?” His voice was calm, laced with amusement. But there was something sharper underneath it, something danger

    For three days, Hema experienced a rare peace.Zayden hadn’t forced himself on her.He hadn’t touched her.He hadn’t even come to her room at night, which was the most unusual part.Instead, he made everything comfortable for her.Every morning, a lavish breakfast was delivered to her room—though she barely ate it. A sophisticated BarcaLounger had appeared in her room, one of the finest recliners money could buy. But she refused to sit in it.She didn’t want to be tricked into believing this was kindness.Even when he got her a warming pad to ease her discomfort, she insisted on using it herself.It was like he was trying to pacify her.But she knew better.This wasn’t a change of heart.It was the calm before the storm.And she would never let herself forget that.At night, she lay awake, staring at the ceiling, feeling relief that the monster beside her had chosen to stay away. But the relief was accompanied by something else—something that had been gnawing at her ever since she was

  • DEVIL’s GRIP   Chapter 106 - He knew

    Hema’s breath came in quick, shallow bursts as she approached the house. The place that had been her only form of refuge—now locked.Her fingers trembled as she grabbed the iron gate and tried to push, but it wouldn’t budge.“Karan…?” she whispered, her voice barely audible against the suffocating silence.She knocked harder. Nothing.Her heart pounded against her ribs. Where did they go?She turned to the neighbors, desperation seeping into her gaze. “Please,” she called out. “Does anyone know where they are?”No one stepped forward.No one even looked at her.It was as if an invisible force had wrapped around their necks, silencing them with a grip colder than death itself.Then it hit her—they knew.They knew who she was.They knew Zayden had been hunting her like a predator closing in on wounded prey.Her stomach churned. No… no, no, no…She turned and ran back down the street, her feet pounding against the pavement. Her lungs burned with every breath, but she couldn’t stop. She h

    The night air was still, thick with a silence that carried the weight of something sinister.Hema’s feet faltered as she stood at the threshold of the secluded house.A gut-wrenching feeling twisted inside her.Something was wrong.Her breath came in shallow gasps as her body resisted moving forward.Zayden, walking slightly ahead, felt the resistance.He stopped. Turned.And when his eyes landed on her, his smirk deepened.She was sweating.Terrified.Zayden tilted his head, watching her with amusement.“You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” he murmured, his voice unsettlingly soft.Hema’s pulse hammered against her throat.She couldn’t move. She didn’t want to move.This place—it felt like a graveyard.Zayden took a slow step towards her.“Come,” he said gently, as if coaxing a frightened animal.His tenderness made her even more afraid.It was an act. A trick. It always was.She shook her head.Zayden sighed as if disappointed, then reached for her wrist.Hema gasped as he yanked her

    Caged in His Arms, Trapped by His WillHema’s breath came in sharp, broken gasps as she struggled against his hold.Zayden had turned her in his arms, forcing her to face the sight of Karan lying on the floor, blood seeping into the wooden panels beneath him.She whimpered, trying to wrench herself free from his grasp, but his arms were like steel chains.A cage that wouldn’t break.Her heartbeat thundered in her ears, her nails digging into his forearm as she desperately tried to push him away.“Let me go,” she choked out.Zayden only tightened his hold.His strong arms wrapped around her torso like a vice, his broad chest flush against her back.Then, his head dipped low, his lips pressing dangerously close to her ear.His voice was ice. Cold. Absolute. Unforgiving.“You should have thought about the consequences when you walked into your lover’s house.”Hema flinched.“He’s not—” she started, but the words stuck in her throat.Zayden hummed, his chest vibrating against her back.

    Hema knelt on the cold floor, as she lowered her head in defeat like she lost will to fight.“I am all yours, do anything with me. Leave them”. The weight of his presence pressed down on her, suffocating and inescapable. Her mind screamed at her to resist, but her body was frozen—trapped in his control.Zayden cupped her chin, forcing her to look up at him. His dark eyes were unreadable, flickering between amusement and something more dangerous. He swiped his thumb across her bottom lip, his touch both possessive and taunting.“You look perfect like this,” he murmured, his voice a slow drawl, savoring the moment. “On your knees, where you belong.”Hema flinched at his words, but she didn’t move. She couldn’t. She knew that defying him would only make things worse, and right now, Karan and Ara’s lives depended on her submission.A shudder rippled through her. He could see the fear and revulsion in her eyes, but also a flicker of something else - a dark recognition of the twisted bond

    Karan’s limp body lay on the marble floor, his breath shallow, skin pale. A single drop of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, painting a grotesque contrast against his fair skin. Hema’s legs refused to move. Her eyes burned as they fixed on him—on the boy who once smiled at her like she was magic, now reduced to a broken mess.He stirred.Barely.His eyes opened, unfocused but searching. And when they found Hema, the pain in them deepened. Not just the agony of his injuries—but betrayal.A low cry slipped from her throat. She took one step forward, just one—“Hema!” Zayden’s voice thundered across the hall.She turned, but too late. He was already beside her, grabbing her wrist with steel hands.She yanked her hand back, but it was useless. His grip tightened as he dragged her away. Ara’s wailing echoed from behind them, her sobs so raw they tore the air apart.Hema screamed, twisting in his grasp. “He needs help! Please—!”“He’s not your concern anymore,” Zayden snapped, ya

    Hema hadn’t closed her eyes even for a second. Sleep had evaded her, tiptoeing past her like a thief. The shadows of the night still lingered, but the faint blue tint of morning had begun to creep through the windows.Zayden’s arm, still draped over her, had slackened in the early hours. His breath was steady, warm against her neck, and she could feel the slow rise and fall of his chest behind her. Every second that passed, her mind tried to process everything he had confessed. The madness. The obsession. The love.She turned her head slightly, studying his face. He looked peaceful. His lashes fluttered lightly as he stirred from sleep, slowly returning to consciousness.And then, he opened his eyes.Hema didn’t move.Zayden blinked a few times, the golden specks in his irises catching the dim light. He lifted his upper body, supporting himself with both hands planted on either side of her. His smile was faint—genuine, for once.His gaze trailed along her face, and then without warnin

  • DEVIL’s GRIP   Chapter 122- Truth revealed

    The room felt suffocating, even though the windows were half open and the wind outside fluttered the curtains like ghostly whispers. The door had just shut behind Mike, his hurried footsteps fading. Silence filled the space, but it was not peace—it was rage simmering, pain pulsating.Mia stood there for a second, her chest rising and falling with fury. Her eyes were still locked on the door Mike had vanished through, as though she could scorch him with a glance alone. Then, with a breath that sounded more like a growl, she stormed toward the nearby table and dropped herself onto it, the wooden edge groaning beneath her weight.Her fist clenched the edge tightly. Knuckles white. Nails digging into her palm.“I think it’s time,” Mia hissed, barely looking at Hema.Hema sat still, her expression calm—too calm. Her fingers clutched the sides of the chair she sat on, back straight, chin lifted. Her eyes, though blank, had a heaviness to them. As if they had seen too much.She didn’t ask fo

    The boutique was filled with satin, sequins, and murmurs of celebration. The assistants flitted about like bees around flowers, each one eager to please the bride-to-be. Mia stood before the mirror in a pale champagne-colored lehenga, its embroidered edges catching the light like shards of glass. Hema sat nearby on an ottoman, her face pale, her eyes hollow. She watched Mia with a distant calm, like someone observing the world for the last time.“You don’t like it?” Mia asked, eyeing Hema through the reflection.“It’s beautiful,” Hema said softly, offering a faint smile. “You’ll look like a dream.”Mia narrowed her eyes. “Don’t flatter me like that, Hema”There was a pause in the air—thick, loaded. Mia turned toward her slowly.“So, when are you planning to revenge Zayden?”Hema looked up. Her voice was flat, almost rehearsed. “After your wedding. I’m planning to die.”The words were sharp, spoken as calmly as if she were discussing weather. The silence that followed was deafening. Ev

    The sun poured into the grand bedroom like warm gold, stretching across the silk sheets where Zayden lay tangled with Hema. Her dark hair sprawled across the pillow like spilled ink, eyes shut but clearly awake — a habit she had developed over the past few months. Zayden stirred beside her, mumbling her name like it was his morning prayer.He leaned over, his hand tracing her waistline through the thin fabric of her saree. “Still not letting me take it off?” he whispered against her neck.Hema exhaled softly, barely parting her lips. “You’ve been fucking me so much these days, Zayden… I barely have time to put it back on.”He grinned against her skin, the rough edge in his voice still as possessive as ever. “So you’re blaming me for your laziness?” He bit her ear gently.She pushed his shoulder, half-heartedly. “I’m saying choose. Sex with clothes on… or no sex at all.”Zayden groaned in mock surrender, pulling his shirt off but leaving her untouched. “Fine. I’ll behave. But at least

  • DEVIL’s GRIP   Chapter 119-girl’s night 2.0

    The secluded café sat nestled in the folds of the misty hills, far from the city buzz. With glass walls and dim golden lights, it overlooked a silent valley below. A few couples scattered across the space, soft jazz humming in the background. The two women seated by the edge—Mia and Hema—seemed like any other pair of elegant friends enjoying an afternoon escape.But their eyes told another story.Mia sat with one leg crossed over the other, her leather boots polished and sharp against the rustic wood of the café floor. Her fingers curled around her wine glass, tapping it gently every few seconds, eyes scanning Hema as though deciphering a secret code. Her red lipstick matched the tension on her lips—silent, deliberate.Hema, on the other hand, sat calm. She wore a soft beige kurta with jean, her dark hair braided loosely over one shoulder. Her hands rested in her lap, the watch barely moving even as she stirred her coffee.“I want to know,” Hema said quietly, voice as smooth as the st

    Hema’s fingers deftly dabbing concealer over the purplish marks that adorned her neck and collarbone. The cool touch of ice had done little to reduce their prominence, and now, time was slipping away. The engagement party was already underway, and they were unforgivably late.As she blended the makeup to mask the evidence of their earlier passion, Zayden emerged from the bathroom, a towel slung low around his hips. His gaze settled on her reflection, a smirk playing on his lips.“Why hide them?” he murmured, moving to stand behind her. His hands rested on her shoulders, fingers tracing the edges of the fading bruises. “Let them see you’re mine.” Hema met his eyes in the mirror, a flush creeping up her cheeks. “It’s not appropriate for an engagement party, Zayden.”He chuckled, the sound low and possessive. “Appropriate? Since when do we care about that?” Leaning down, he pressed a kiss to the nape of her neck, his breath warm against her skin.She shivered, both from his touch and th

    Zayden’s breath was hot against her cheek as he closed the distance, towering over her like a storm about to break loose. His arm caged her against the wall, and the other hand slid around her waist, resting just above the curve of her hips.“Let it go,” he whispered, voice dark and low, eyes locked on the blouse she clutched tightly against her chest. “Drop it.”Hema’s breath hitched. Her fingers trembled on the fabric. “We… we’ll be late.”He leaned closer, his lips brushing her ear. “You think I care?” His voice was like a threat laced with longing. “You wear this and expect me to just tie a knot and walk away? Not happening.”Her chest rose and fell rapidly, caught between nervousness and burning desire.Zayden’s hand gripped her hip firmly, pulling her flush against him—so close that there was nothing between them but the silk of her saree and the knot of his towel. She gasped, feeling the hard length of him pressing against her clit. Her knees weakened.“Zayden…” she whispered,

    The golden lights of the chandelier dripped like honey over the grand ballroom of the Haveli, casting shimmering reflections over the polished marble floor. The place was adorned with fresh orchids and lilies, filling the air with a soft floral scent. The stage at the far end was set for the announcement everyone had been waiting for — Mia’s engagement to Mike , her new business partner and now fiancé.Three months ago, Mia had met Mike during a tense merger discussion. He was charming, sharp, and disarmingly polite — a rare blend of confidence and calm. He hadn’t flinched once while locking horns with her in negotiation, and that very quality had pulled her attention. She had flirted first, something unusual for her, especially after the chaos with Zayden. Aryan had matched her energy, the chemistry undeniable, and soon, their partnership had turned personal.Here’s a detailed, emotionally rich flashback scene that explores the dynamic between Mia, Zayden’s sister, and Mike Arden—on

    Hema emerged from the bathroom, her damp hair cascading over her shoulders, droplets tracing paths down her arms. She wore a simple white robe, loosely tied at the waist, revealing glimpses of her collarbone.Her movements were hesitant. She paused at the threshold, her gaze fixed on the floor, as if the polished wood held answers to unspoken questions. Her shoulders were slightly hunched, and her arms wrapped around her torso—a protective gesture, shielding herself from an invisible threat.Zayden, seated on the edge of the bed, had been scrolling through his phone. The rustle of fabric drew his attention. He looked up, his sharp eyes immediately noting her posture. Setting the device aside, he rose, the mattress sighing in relief.“Hema?” His voice was gentle, laced with concern. He approached her slowly, not wanting to startle her. “Is everything alright?”She flinched at his words, a barely perceptible reaction, but one he didn’t miss. Her eyes darted to his briefly before settlin

    Zayden leaned back in his leather chair, fingers tapping on the polished surface of his desk. Papers were scattered in front of him, but his attention was fixed on the woman standing across the room—his sister, Mia.She stood near the window in his office, sunlight painting golden stripes across her sharp profile. Dressed in a deep blue blazer, her arms were folded, her eyes carrying the same determination he remembered from when they were kids. But now, it was layered with something darker.“I just want to take her out,” Mia said, her voice surprisingly soft. “To talk. To… connect. She’s your wife. That makes her my sister-in-law.”Zayden’s brows lifted slowly. “You’ve never asked for this before.”Mia sighed and dropped her arms to her sides. “Because I didn’t care. But maybe that was my mistake. I want to try now. Don’t I get that chance?”He stared at her for a long moment, as if trying to read beneath her skin. “If anything—and I mean anything—happens to her, Mia…” His tone shift
