THE DARKEST VOWS

CHAPTER - 1

Abhyansh Singh Rathore sat in the dimly lit corner of his opulent mansion, a sly smirk spreading across his chiseled face. Before him stood a quivering man, who had attempted to leak sensitive information about Abhyansh's business empire. The man's eyes darted around the room, searching for an escape, but Abhyansh's bodyguards blocked every exit.

"You thought you could betray me and get away with it?" Abhyansh's piercing gaze froze the man in terror. His deep voice sent shivers down the man's spine.

"N-no, sir, I didn't mean to—" the man stuttered, his voice trembling.

Abhyansh's smirk deepened. "You've broken my trust. Now, you'll pay the price." With a swift motion, Abhyansh typed a message on his phone. "Take care of him."

His burly bodyguards dragged the trembling man away, leaving Abhyansh to his thoughts. He leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers together.

Later, Abhyansh entered the grand dining hall, where his family awaited. His parents, Raj and Nalini Rathore, sat at the head of the table, flanked by his younger sister, Riya, and his dadi (grandmother), Kamini Devi Rathore.

Dadi spoke up, "Abhyansh, beta, you're  getting older. It's time to marry."

Abhyansh chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Dadi, I'm not ready for marriage."

Dadi's expression turned stern. "Abhyansh, you must marry. I've found a suitable match."

Abhyansh raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

"Tanya Sharma, the Sharma family's eldest daughter."

Abhyansh's eyes narrowed. "The Sharmas? This is perfect. A chance for revenge." Memories of past betrayals and deceitful business deals flooded his mind.

Abhyansh agreed to the marriage, driven by his desire for vengeance. Little did he know that Tanya had a younger sister, Samikshya, who would soon change his life forever.

Dadi's eyes sparkled with hope as she gazed at Abhyansh. "This marriage will bring change, beta. Tanya will soften your heart, make you see the world differently."

Abhyansh's expression remained impassive, but his mind scoffed at the idea. No one could tame his demons, least of all a Sharma.

His parents exchanged glances, their faces etched with concern. They had long given up on Abhyansh's emotional well-being, resigning themselves to his ruthless nature.

But Dadi persisted, "You need someone to show you love, compassion. Tanya's kindness will melt your heart, Abhyansh."

Abhyansh's thoughts mocked the notion. Love? Compassion? Weaknesses he couldn't afford. His empire was built on fear, respect, and ruthless calculation.

Yet, a faint whisper in his mind wondered... what if? What if this marriage brought more than just revenge?

Abhyansh shook off the thought, dismissing it as a foolish fantasy. He was who he was – the Heartless Billionaire.

Little did Abhyansh know, his soon-to-be bride's younger sister, Samikshya, would soon challenge everything he thought he knew about himself and his heart.

As dinner concluded, Abhyansh retreated to his room, his mind consumed by thoughts of the upcoming nuptials. He poured himself a glass of scotch, savoring the amber liquid.

Abhyansh's phone buzzed. A text from his assistant: "Sir, the Sharma family has agreed to the marriage. The engagement will be announced soon."

Abhyansh's smirk returned. "This is just the beginning."
