Welcome to my dark little corner of obsession... where passion bleeds as vividly as scarlet on a painter's canvas. 🎨🩸

Reyansh Malhotra isn't just a man—he's an addiction, a masterpiece, a danger you'll want to stare at until it consumes you. And Nyra? She's fire, fury, and everything he cannot have... at least, not without a fight.

This story is raw, intense, and unapologetic. Expect desire, mind games, and a dash of twisted art, all painted in the deepest reds of obsession. Some scenes might make your heart race, some might make you gasp, and yes... some might make you blush.

So, hold on tight. Scarlet waits for no one, and once you fall into Reyansh's world... there's no turning back.

She speaks in silence. She lives behind a mask of perfection. Ragini Malhotra — Bollywood’s golden girl — is every headline’s dream and every secret’s nightmare. Behind the lights, she carries scars the world will never see… scars carved by terror, betrayal, and the men who once called her their muse. Her voice is gone, but her silence screams louder than fame ever could. He is her shadow. Her savior. Her danger. Agastya Singhania — ex-military, unflinchingly disciplined — was the man who once rescued her from hell. Now he guards her every move, every breath… but somewhere between duty and desire, protection begins to look a lot like obsession. And when the ghosts of her past return, one question remains— Will his love save her, or destroy her all over again?

He warned her not to cross him. She did anyway. Rudransh Malhotra — heir to an empire built on blood and silence — doesn’t believe in love, mercy, or second chances. Cold as steel, lethal as sin, he rules his world through fear... until she defies him. Meher Rajput — quiet, resilient, and orphaned by fate — has spent her life surviving shadows. But when she collides with his storm, survival turns into surrender, and hate becomes the most dangerous kind of hunger. Every look is a challenge. Every touch is a weapon. Every kiss, a war neither of them can win. In a world ruled by power, bullets, and betrayal, desire becomes their deadliest sin — and the only truth left standing is this: He was never meant to love her, and she was never meant to survive him.

Haunted Obsession

Two contrasting worlds converge, bound together by a deep, shadowy secret. Ember Reynolds is a beacon of light yet remains ensnared by the ghosts of her past that linger at every turn. Desperate to escape a life she never chose; she feels the grip of something darker tightening around her. While surrendering is not in her nature, she possesses a unique ability to make others fall for her charm. Kaelin Ashford embodies darkness itself, a devil shaped by a singular truth that cast him into an unfathomable abyss-one he embraced wholeheartedly. But what is it about her that captivates him?

Beautiful in Pieces (18+)

At 38, Soren Knox is a brilliant, intense psychologist with a haunted past and a mind that’s as sharp as it is dark. Beneath his cold, calculated exterior lies a dangerous obsession—one that threatens to consume him. And then he meets Mystery Swift, a 21-year-old campus rockstar with honey-colored eyes that hide her deadly secrets. Her high-functioning subclinical psychopathic empathy and obsessive profiling tendencies make her a rare, intoxicating enigma—she fears nothing, and she’s always looking for her next challenge. When their worlds collide, sparks fly—and so does the danger. In a game of mind and desire, will Soren’s controlled darkness draw her in, or will the secrets they hide tear them apart? ASTOUNDING, rebellious, and irresistibly steamy—this is a forbidden connection that might just ignite their insecurities… and destroy them both.
