Monster
The city of Ravencroft belonged to him. Whispers of his name sent chills down spines, and every street was stained with blood in his name.
Ashish "Monster" Vardhan wasn’t just a gangster—he was a nightmare dressed in a suit. Ruthless. Unstoppable. Deadly.
But even monsters had weaknesses.
And his was her.
A Fateful Meeting
Rachael Moreau was never supposed to cross his path. She was an artist, a dreamer, untouched by the blood-soaked world he ruled. But fate had a cruel sense of humor.
One wrong turn. One moment at the wrong time.
She saw something she wasn’t supposed to—an execution in a dark alley. A man pleading for his life. A gunshot. Silence. And then… his cold, predatory gaze locking onto hers.
She should have run.
Instead, she stayed.
And he let her.
Love in the Shadows
Ashish had enemies—too many to count. But Rachael became his sanctuary, the only warmth in a world made of fire and steel. She wasn’t afraid of him. She should have been.
“You’re a monster,” she whispered one night, tracing the scars on his hands.
He smirked, pulling her close. “Yet you’re still here.”
She was. And she shouldn’t have been.
Against all odds, against all warnings, she fell in love with the devil.
And then, she married him.
Their wedding was a secret—held in the grand, candlelit halls of his estate. No witnesses, no celebrations. Just whispered vows, stolen kisses, and a promise he swore to keep.
For the first time in his life, Ashish had something to lose.
A Death Written in Blood
The betrayal came with the wind, cold and merciless.
An ambush.
Bullets rained through their home, shattering glass, tearing through flesh. His empire collapsed in fire and smoke.
And in the middle of it all—Rachael.
A gun pointed at her. A rival’s sneer.
“Even monsters can bleed.”
A shot rang out.
Her blood stained his hands, his suit, his soul.
She smiled, even as life slipped from her grasp. “I told you,” she whispered. “You’re a monster.”
And then, she was gone.
The Monster Remains
That night, Ravencroft burned.
Ashish hunted them all. Every man responsible for her death. He drowned the city in blood, turned the streets into a graveyard.
But revenge wasn’t enough.
Because monsters don’t get happy endings.
And his had died in his arms.
The End.
