A Man’s Desperate Search for the ‘Perfect’ Love

Jatin has sworn off women after a soul-crushing betrayal and divorce. Broken and embittered, he seeks solace in alcohol, determined to shut the world out. But fate has other plans. A catastrophic event places a beautiful young girl with memory loss in his care. To Jatin, she’s more than just a responsibility—she’s a blank slate, a chance to create the perfect partner, one who will worship him as a deity.

A Dangerous Game of Obsession and Deception

Jatin’s descent into manipulation is as terrifying as it is fascinating. Keeping Maira isolated, he molds her world so that she sees him as her only guiding force. But control is a fragile illusion, and as she matures, his forbidden desires ignite a storm of consequences he never anticipated. The lies pile up, and soon, the walls of his twisted paradise begin to crack.

With the police closing in and his own sister sensing something amiss, Jatin faces a terrifying question—what happens when Maira discovers the truth? And can a man who has controlled someone’s entire reality ever truly find redemption?

Sam Arkot masterfully explores the chilling effects of gaslighting, grooming, and psychological manipulation in a way that is both disturbing and utterly captivating.
