Anaya-His heartbeat

CHAPTER-6 BOUND BY CHAINS

Shivarth's pov

I drove to the office, my mind already wrapped around the mountain of tasks waiting for me. My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, knuckles pale against the black leather. The city’s chaos passed by unnoticed as my thoughts drifted—until my phone rang, snapping me back to reality. I glanced at the screen and my jaw clenched. My father.

With a deep breath, I picked up, not bothering to hide the edge in my voice.

“What is it?”

My father’s voice came through the line, cold and commanding, as always. “I’ve made a decision. You’re going to marry.”

My eyes darkened instantly, anger bubbling to the surface. I pulled the car over to the side of the road, not trusting myself to keep driving.

“Excuse me?”
my voice was sharp, teetering on the edge of fury.

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“I’ve arranged a marriage for you. It’s done.”

My grip tightened, my temper rising.

“Are you out of your mind?”
I  snapped.

“You think you can just decide my life like this? I don’t care who you think you are, I’m not your damn puppet!”

My father’s tone remained infuriatingly calm. “This is for the family, Shivarth. You’ll marry the girl I’ve chosen.”

My temper flared.

“I’m not a child anymore! I make my own decisions, and I won’t be part of this ridiculous plan of yours. Find someone else to play house with your business alliances.jab man kra apka apne bol dia isse shadi krlo shaddi h mzak nhi , na m apni zindagi chahta khrab ho na m kisi or ki krunga mind it ”

“You don’t have a choice,” my father said coolly, as if my protests meant nothing.

My  vision blurred with rage. “I *always* have a choice,” I snarled. “You can’t control me, not anymore.”

“Enough!”
My father barked, his patience slipping.
.
“You *will* marry her, Shivarth. Whether you like it or not. If you refuse—”

“I don’t give a damn about your threats!”
I  cut in, voice booming with authority. I wasn’t used to backing down, not with anyone.
“I’ve told you before, I’m not some piece of property you can barter with. I won’t be dragged into your games.”

There was a pause on the other end of the line, and then my father’s voice came through, lower, more dangerous than before. “If you don’t do as I say, Ayaan will face the consequences.”

The mention of my brother made me freeze, my  heart pounding in my chest. Ayaan, the only person in the family who had ever mattered to me. My father had always known where to strike.

“You think you can blackmail me with Ayaan?” I spat, but my  voice had lost some of its fire. “Don’t you dare drag him into this.”

“I can, and I will,” my father said icily.

“If you refuse this marriage, I’ll make sure he pays for your disobedience.”

I slammed his fist into the steering wheel, fury mixing with helplessness. My father’s grip on my life, on my brother’s life, was suffocating, and there was nothing I could do about it.I had no way out.

Shivarth oberoi jisse sab darte hai.... The gurious young man cant do anything in front of his fathers coz neither I can kill him nor  I can spit out my anger like I do for everyone else I have some dignity nor he neither  his wife took me in considertaion ever but I know how to respect my elders he always knows my weak points  and he make sure to hurt them
