The heavy rain poured down on the sloping roof of the small, beautiful cottage, creating a rhythmic sound that echoed through the quiet night. The cottage, covered in green ivy and surrounded by a dense forest of pine trees, looked like something straight out of a fairy tale. Inside, on the ground floor, the warm glow of the fireplace illuminated the living room where Amyra’s older brother, Kabir, and her sister-in-law, Meera, were watching a movie.

But upstairs, behind the locked door of her separate, cozy bedroom, twenty-year-old Amyra was living a completely different life. A life that was far from a fairy tale. It was a life of bold secrets, dark desires, and a dangerous obsession.
