English is not my first language, and I don't care. There will be lots of grammatical mistakes, and so what? That’s my characters making mistakes not ME. My characters are fictional, so they are allowed to be illiterate.

Nevertheless, gang, we ball.

So hey, I am aeiinks (or you can call me aei), and I want to let you guys know a few important things before you start reading this book of mine.

This book is emotionally heavy; I just want to say this: your mental and emotional health matters!

Below, I will highlight the tit— I mean TRIGGER WARNINGS:

• This book is a SLOW BURN

• This book is Dark Romance (18+)

• Descriptions and mentions of physical torture

• Sexual assault, Bullying, Blackmailing, etc. (not from the ML/FL)

• Mentions of rape (not involving the ML/FL)

• Slang, cuss words, cringe hilarious dialogues & dark-humour jokes

• Murder, gore, blood & violence

• Death

• Morally questionable decisions & unlawful actions/activity

• Too many trauma dumps / emotionally distressing themes

Please proceed only if you are comfortable with these themes. Take care of yourself while reading and skip or pause whenever necessary.

Also, rest assured. There is no cheating, second women/men drama, forced intimacy, sex done with proper consent, or toxic behaviour coming from both male and female leads towards each other.

Hindi/Urdu dialogues will be translated with the help of Google, so I might not be 100% correct, as Hindi is not my first or second language to begin with.
