Summary

She saved him once. Now he can't let her go-even if it means caging her heart. "One night changed everything. Now, he'll burn the world to keep her". "Bound by fate. Trapped by desire." The night was thunder-washed, the kind of storm that could wash away blood and secrets. Aarya didn't expect to find a bleeding man in the middle of nowhere. Definitely not one with a gun tucked in his belt and rage in his eyes. But instincts took over, and she dragged him into her barn, stitched him up, and locked him in her store room. Just for one night. Just until morning. She never expected him to remember her. She never expected him to look at her like she was his. But Kian Vora never forgot. Not the girl who dared to hold him hostage. Not the one who patched him up and vanished. So when fate kept throwing her into his world-again and again-he mistook it for destiny. And when she didn't return his obsession, he mistook that for betrayal. So he took her. Not to hurt her. Just to keep her. as his Even if she hated him for it.

Dear Reader,

Thank you for picking upIn the Arms of the Devil. This story is my dark, twisted lullaby of love and obsession. It walks the fine line between passion and possession, and asks one terrifying question:

What if the man who loves you... is also the one who can ruin you?

This tale isn’t soft—it bites.It’s messy. It’s addictive. And it’ll break a few rules.

But if you love mafia kings, stormy romances, dangerous men with soft spots only forher...then, welcome to the chaos. 🌙

Grab your tea, switch off reality, and hold your breath—

Let’s Dive In...

Because when the devil falls in love,he doesn’t give flowers... he gives chains.
