Hello dear readers,

This is my very first time writing a story and sharing something like mafia story with others. I am still learning, experimenting, and trying to improve with every chapter I write. So please be patient with me. Your support, feedback, and kindness will mean a lot during this journey.

This story is a mafia romance, and it is not meant to portray perfect characters or perfect love. The characters in this book are deeply flawed human beings.

The male lead, Ekansh Rathore, is not a soft, sweet, "pookie" type hero. He is dangerous, cold, controlling, and part of the mafia world. When I say he is ruthless, I truly mean it. Even when love enters his life, he will not suddenly transform into a completely soft or gentle man. His personality, his anger, and his darker traits will still remain a part of him.

The female lead, Keya Roy, is also not written as a flawless or "devi-like" character. She is a normal woman with many emotions and imperfections. She has insecurities, jealousy issues, and moments of selfishness—things that many people experience in real life but are often not shown openly in stories. She may compare herself with others, feel hurt, feel jealous, and react emotionally. Sometimes she will be kind and strong, and other times she may simply behave like an ordinary person trying to deal with her own feelings.

Keya can be a chatterbox and outspoken with people she feels comfortable around, but she also has fears, doubts, and vulnerabilities like any normal human being.

The relationship between the leads will have conflict, tension, and an enemies-to-lovers dynamic. However, even as their relationship develops, it does not mean they will suddenly become perfect people or completely change their personalities.

Ekansh is a mafia leader. Because of his past and lifestyle, he is not a virgin. However, he is not a cheater, at least not toward the female lead once she enters his life. What he is skilled at, though, is manipulation. If Ekansh truly wants something, he may go to great lengths to get it—by strategy, by persuasion, or by force of will. He lives by his own set of rules, and those rules include both good and bad aspects.

This story may also contain cringe or cliché moments at times. Since this is my first attempt at writing, I am still learning how to balance drama, romance, and storytelling. But I will always try my best to keep the story engaging, fresh, and meaningful.

Please remember that this story is purely fictional. All characters, situations, and events are products of imagination and are written only for storytelling and entertainment purposes.

My intention is not to offend or harm any individual or community based on gender, race, color, culture, religion, or background. Some sensitive topics or issues might appear in the story depending on how the plot develops, but they are included only to support the narrative and character development.

If you are someone who prefers perfectly righteous characters or very soft romantic male leads, this story may not be the right choice for you.

This story explores dangerous love, flawed people, complicated emotions, and a dark world where morality is often blurred.

So please read at your own discretion.

Read at your own risk.

And once again, thank you for giving this story a chance.
