The man was sitting at his desk, typing furiously on his keyboard. He seemed really angry, hitting the keys hard as if the keyboard had done something wrong.

Suddenly, the man slammed his laptop shut with a loud bang. He looked furious.

He was breathing heavily, his hands clenched into tight fists.In a burst of anger, he pushed the whole desk away from him. It scraped loudly against the floor.

Leaving his office behind, he grabbed his keys and headed straight for the club

Entering the club, he made his way to the familiar corner where he always sat. The bartender greeted him with a nod as he ordered his usual drink.He gulped it down in one go.

He closed his eyes, trying to find a moment of peace amidst the turmoil. But the memories flooded back,images and words flashed before his mind's eye, reminding him of everything that had gone wrong, everything he couldn't change.

Frustration boiled over. Gripping the glass tightly, he felt the pressure build until suddenly, it shattered in his hand. Glass shards bit into his skin, a sharp reminder of his own pain. Yet, strangely, the physical pain seemed less compared to the emotional turmoil that consumed him.

He sat there, staring at his bleeding hand, lost in thoughts that five long years of struggle and heartache.

To everyone else, Arjun Ahuja was a successful businessman who had made a name for himself in just five years. People admired his achievements and respected him in the business world.But not many knew the hard times he had been through.

Arjun worked really hard to get where he was. He spent many late nights to achieve all this.Sometimes, things seemed too hard to handle. But he never gave up. His determination and courage kept him going through tough times.

His success was not just about making money but there was something else too.

Lost in his thoughts, Arjun felt a light touch on his hand. Startled, he looked up to see a young woman with a seductive smile standing beside him. She leaned in closer

"What about one night stand"She whispered in his ear

Arjun's expression hardened as he withdrew his hand abruptly "I am not interested. Leave me before I kick you out of this club."

The woman's smile faded. She glanced around nervously.Without another word, she stepped back, allowing Arjun to rise from his seat and leave the club without looking back.

He is not one of those businessmen who like to spend nights with different women.In his heart, there was only one woman he loved deeply, but now that love had turned into a profound hatred. Their relationship, once filled with promise and affection, had crumbled under the weight of betrayal and disappointment.

Arjun had poured his soul into their love, only to be met with betrayal and pain.He had trusted her with everything, believing their bond was unbreakable, only to discover her betrayal shattered his world.

Despite his outward success in the business world, the wounds of their past haunted him relentlessly. He couldn't erase the hurtful memories of her betrayal that had turned love into hatred.

He visited the doctor to treat his injured hand.As he entered the clinic, frustration gripped him when he saw that she was the one assigned to attend to him.

It was not just her presence,what made matters worse was his mother's relentless insistence on arranging his marriage to her.

"You hurt yourself again,"Ridhima said as she carefully examined Arjun's injured hand.

"You are just a doctor. Your job is to treat me, not ask questions"He replied coldly

"Why are you being so rude. What have I done to deserve this attitude. It is like I have taken something precious from you."
