I was always taught to not be distracted by something I can't have in my life. But from the moment I saw her, my exception became her. My madness was strictly directed towards her.

Being the head of the Irish mafia, I never understood what sanity meant. But I knew when I saw her, I lost that leftover sanity of mine down the drain too.

A small but mandatory business meeting was all it was supposed to be. And it became my obligation to attend it. So I headed for India.

But when I saw the beauty in front of me. I knew she was meant to be mine. An epitome of innocence covered little devil. A hidden side of hers was I craved and will have, no matter what.

One which she doesn't show anyone else. Underneath her pure innocent face, only I saw the fierce fire. Moreover, what's exciting enough is that I found her checking me out.

So how can I not show her more of me?

She wasn't related to mafia. I knew it. She is too pure for someone tainted like me. Almost a forbidden fruit. And that's why she became someone who I couldn't have. Maybe, that's why.

"You can't keep me like this. I don't belong to you."

I took her with me even if it wasn't her will. Her innocence filled eyes glistening with pearl like tears, captivated my mind and soul and became my addiction. More than any kind of drug.

But no matter what, she will be mine. Even if I have to force my love on her. I crave the taste of this forbidden fruit and I will have it. Even if I have to force her for her hand in marriage.

I was always into older men but when I saw him, I knew he was the end of my temptation. Every standard I set for myself, he became the perfect fit of the puzzle.

My obsession with older men grew more because of him. My forbidden fruit in human form.

But I knew better than anyone to not give into my temptation. Not let those desires fawn over my mind and consume my sanity.

And maybe, if I hadn't met him, I would have saved myself. From him.

I thought I was a mad woman who was drooling over a thirty years old handsome man. But no sooner did I come to know that he wasn't a sane one either rather he wasn't even meant to be my hero, he was my villain.

A monster whose madness knew no boundaries in obsession. And his salvation?

Me.

I was a simple normal girl working as a hotel manager who once went to her friend's house for a little vacation but instead of spreading my wings to fly like a bird, I was caged.

Caged by a monster who was obsessed with me almost immediately after seeing me.

Can I ever come to escape him? Even after knowing that he's the only one who can fulfill all of my fantasies?

But bigger question, will he ever come to let me go? Or rather, do I want him to let me go?
