The Forbidden Series - Book 2 (Enemies to Lovers Romance Novel)
Khushi Thakur
Have compassion for your family and be heartless towards your enemies. This has been my only slogan since I became the backbone of the RS Group of Companies where I am in charge of dealing with their tricky competitors. This time our focus is on the AR Group, which has rattled to its core ever since its CEO, Aarav Raichand allegedly stepped down from his position. Whatever they say, I'm still certain he's a tornado disguised as my business rival. There’s something about this man that I loathe and something that draws me insanely towards him. This unseen magnetism between us coaxes me to believe Aarav is that missing piece of my life’s puzzle, which I had given up solving.
Aarav Raichand
Two years ago, my world crashed down forever when I lost my wife, Jhanvi Raichand. But then I saw her again, this time in my rival’s arms. Everyone said she only had a similar face. I believed that too. She wasn’t my Jaan. She was not the one who transformed me from a vengeful man to a loving husband. But I was drawn to her like a moth to fire. Could she be my Jaan and didn’t want to recognize me anymore? If I could avenge my family to bring justice to my life earlier, I would burn down the world this time to get this woman in my arms again. The only difference is that this time there will be no rules. It’s about time I remind them what it meant to meddle with the love of a big bad wolf!!

SNEAK PEEK
I turn around in the circle of his arms and our eyes hold for an eternity-long second. I sway closer seeing a strand of his dark hair fallen over his square brow. Something swirls in his eyes before they fall to my lips. They linger there for so long that the anticipation of whether he would kiss me or not races my heart abnormally. Flashes of me seeing him this close a million times before, flood in my head. The varied times when his rough palms have scooped my face and kissed me angrily, roughly, smoothly, delicately, with hunger, fire and rage, pricks those memories which are hidden in some deep dark corner of my brain. Are these flashes for real or just my imagination? They feel more real to me and it’s only because I am the most vulnerable whenever I’m this close to Aarav Raichand. Being here at his home, in his bedroom and in the confined space of his arms, I don’t think I want to be anywhere else at this moment. It makes me silently believe I always belonged here. With him.
Aarav’s thumb grazes my lower lip, urging me to part it.
“Come back to me, Jaan. I’m nothing without you.”
With that, Aarav’s lips finally touch mine and like every other time, he kisses me like he already knows how I taste and is addicted to me. It takes my breath away. I never want this kiss to end though I am doing nothing but standing and giving him all of me. He kisses me once, twice, slow and soft and these kisses mixed with the flashes of my past & present memories and the onslaught of emotions so far, force hot tears to roll down my eyes. Aarav lifts his head, tasting the saltiness on my lips. He looks hurt for a moment but then he gently licks my tears lovingly and kisses my left eyelid.
“This is your house.” He kisses my other eyelid, “your husband.” Aarav’s lips graze down to my left cheek where he places a butterfly kiss. “Your daughter.” He repeats that peck on my right cheek too, “Your family, Jaan.”
He then scoops my face, kisses my forehead providing the much-needed strength to my fragile heart and then gazes into my eyes.
“But we all are incomplete without you. We’ve been waiting for you desperately for two years. Come back to us. Complete all of us and yourself too.”
Aarav’s demands ring alarming bells in my heart. I need to get away from his bedroom, his house, the very instant because if I don’t, I might actually do anything and everything Aarav wants me to.
