✨ Description, 🥀 Dedication, & 🔥Tropes
His Addiction (Sin series #1)
ML - Aniruddh shekhawat 28 years
FL - Chandni Sharma 18 years.
He had watched her grow up in silence.
From a quiet girl who kept her eyes lowered to a woman who unknowingly learned how to tempt a man like him.
The day Chandni turned eighteen, something shifted.
Aniruddh had always been there-looming, controlling, untouchable. The ruthless zamindar who ruled lives with a word, who scolded her more than he spoke to her, who looked at her with a coldness she mistook for hatred. To Chandni, he was nothing but a dominating, bad-tempered man she feared... a man who never let her forget her place.
What she never knew was that his anger was restraint.
Because the moment she crossed the line from girlhood into womanhood, Aniruddh's control began to crack. The same presence that had watched over her for years now burned with temptation. What he felt wasn't desire alone-it was possession awakening too late to be denied.
He doesn't want her love.
He wants her submission.
Every smile meant for another man feels like betrayal. Every step away from him ignites violence he barely contains. To Aniruddh, Chandni is no longer someone to protect or ignore-she is an addiction he never planned, never chose, and cannot escape.
For Chandni, the man she thought hated her becomes her greatest danger. And the scoldings she grew up with turn into chains she never saw coming.
His Addiction is a dark, psychological romance about obsession born from years of restraint, power mistaken for protection, and a forbidden bond where temptation destroys boundaries and love wears the mask of control.
Some men wait too long to claim what they believe is theirs.
And when they finally do-nothing is gentle about it.

He watched her grow within his walls...a quiet presence he ignored, scolded, controlled.
But the day she turned eighteen, everything changed.
The girl became temptation.
And temptation became his addiction.
To her, he is a cold, dominating zamindar who terrifies her.
To him, she is the only thing he cannot let go.
This is not love.
This is possession.
