Anirudh×Yuvika || 32×21 || Mafia×Spy "Go ahead, kill me then. I have betrayed you," I whispered, my breath escaping in shaky gasps. There was no escaping his wrath now. I had long anticipated this day, yet I had held onto a fragile hope that it would not arrive so soon. He advanced towards me, his presence overwhelming, and seized my throat, pinning me against the wall with an iron grip. The pressure intensified as he choked me, his eyes ablaze with a tumult of anger and anguish. Strangely, part of me didn't want to resist; I felt I had earned this fate. My vision began to blur at the edges, and just when I thought he would end it all, his fingers slackened. I gasped for air, coughing violently as I fought to reclaim my breath, desperate to fill my lungs with oxygen.

Both the books are written in the same timeline and will end at the same time. Both books have separate couples but have interconnected lives. This book is part of the duology called- THE HERITAGE. Which is why I highly suggest you read both books simultaneously.
