CHAPTER 1

A man was sitting on the floor with an injection in his hand. He was looking at the injection with red-blooded eyes. He was sitting in the dark room, and the only light source was sun rays peeking through the curtains. 

He didn't bother to turn on the light, this darkness gave relief to him as his life is the same. His life is full of darkness.  The room has everything, every luxurious item which screams richness. He can buy anything except happiness.  

He took a deep breath and injected the needle into his vein. Initially, he felt pain; later this pain was immediately replaced with peace when the drug mixed with his blood. He closed his eyes, 

this is happiness

this is peace

He felt this happiness and peace when this poison entered his body. Although for people, this is poison for him it's peace. This poison helped him to forget all his pain.

Helped him to forget all his miseries

Helped him to forget all his problem

Helped him to forget all the betrayals. 

Slowly he entered into deep slumber without any pain or sadness. Finally, he is at peace. 

Inside the room, one soul was dying slowly. He was trying to find peace, solace, and relief while outside of the room, his family was busy at the party. They were preparing for the party without caring about him. 

There was hustle-bustle going on in the house. The house was decorated like a bride's.  Media, famous personalities of the town, and businessmen started gathering in the house.  Everyone was excited about this party. 

Today is Vihaan and Tina's engagement. Media was excited to cover this engagement to get more gossip. After all, Vihaan is Abhimanyu's cousin and Tina is his ex-girlfriend. 

We can hear the reporter " Hello viewers, we are in front of Kashyap's mansion. Today is Vihaan and Tina's engagement. For your information, Tina is Abhimanyu's ex-girlfriend. They were going to engage soon, but later the engagement got canceled due to the court case. Now, she is going to marry his cousin. What would be the consequences of this engagement? Tina really moves on, or she is doing it due to family pressure? Will she accept Vihaan wholeheartedly or is this a compromise? Will they stay under the same roof with Abhimanyu or shift to the new house? Stay tuned to know more. 

Inside the room, 

He slowly opened his eyes when the effect of the drug reduced in his body and held his head due to a headache. He was feeling intense pain in his head. He picked out the medicine from the side table and swallowed the water. After some time, he felt better. 

He stood up from the floor and walked to the cupboard. He tried to find drugs in the cupboard but panicked when he didn't find drugs. 

He hurriedly took his phone and impatiently waited for the person to pick out the phone. He said when the person picked up the phone " Hello, this is Abhimanyu Kashyap. I want more drugs." After ending the conversation, he cut the call and walked to the washroom. 

He is Abhimanyu Kashyap, he had everything in his life.  Happiness, love, peace, and success. He has everything a person dreamt of but one incident or fake allegation changed his life completely. 

He lost everything, his respect, family love, his love, his career.... everything.

Flashback starts 

Abhimanyu was sitting on his knees, he had a ring in his right hand. He said with love "Tina, I love you so much. I wanted to spend my whole life with you. Will you marry me?" 

Tina pretended to tease him, and Abhimanyu begged her "Tina, please say yes fast. I am feeling pain. Tina smiled and said hugging him "Yes, Mr. Abhimanyu. I am ready to marry you. I love you too and I also wanted to spend my whole life with you." 

Abhimanyu broke the hug and said "Let's go and inform our parents. I can't wait to marry you." Later, they informed their parents, and they fixed their engagement for next week. 

He was happy, building dreams with Abhimanyu for their future. Everything was perfect in his life, then she entered... But one devil enters his life and destroys his happy life.

The devil, Sanaya was obsessed with Abhimanyu. She always wanted to marry him but after hearing about his engagement with Tina, she couldn't control herself and planned to trap him.

Abhimanyu was working in his cabin when Sanaya entered the cabin with an evil smile. He passed a smile to her, she is his father's friend's daughter. He felt annoyed with her presence, but still, he never behaved rudely with her, he didn't want to disappoint his father. 

Before he could speak, Sanaya closed the door and started screaming loudly "Please leave me, Abhimanyu. What are you doing? Please, leave me. I am your father's friend's daughter. Help, help. Please, anyone, help me." 

Abhimanyu was rooted at his place, it took him 2 minutes to understand what was going on. He hurriedly walked near her and said "Sanaya, what happened? Why are you screaming? Please, calm down." 

He was trying to calm her when her father and his father entered the cabin. They were shocked to see Sanaya's condition.  Sanaya rushed to her father, she hugged him tightly while crying "Dad, Abhimanyu.. he tried to force me. He touched me inappropriately." She burst into tears.

Sanaya's dad's blood boiled in anger, he rushed toward Abhimanyu and started slapping him. He said holding his collar "How dare you touch my daughter. You bastard." He kept slapping him while Abhi's gaze was fixed on his father who was looking at him with disgust. 

He was going to open his mouth to explain himself when police entered to arrest him. He said looking at his father "Dad, please believe me. I didn't do anything. You know your son, I can't do something like this. You know me, please trust me. Please, Dad, trust your Abhi." His father turned his face to the other side making the ground slip from his feet. 

Police dragged him outside of the office, he kept shouting "I didn't do anything. I am innocent. I am innocent." But nobody believed him, not his family, not his love... no one. 

He was in prison when Sanaya came to meet him. She smirked on her face "Hi, Abhimanyu. How are you?"

"Why did you do this? Why did you spoil my life?" He asked with hurt.

"It's all your fault, you shouldn't think of marrying anyone except me. How can you think, I will let you marry someone else." She said with the same expression. 

Abhimayu looked at her with disgust, she continued " I am the only person who can help you to come out of this prison. Marry me, Abhimanyu. I  love you so much. I will always keep you happy. I will give you so much love,  that you forget all your pain and suffering. Please, give me a chance Abhi." 

Abhimanyu jerked her hand angrily and said sternly " I love Tina and I will only marry her." 

Sanaya chuckled and said "Abhi, you are stupid to think she will marry you after this. Nobody will accept you, except me. The choice is yours. Even if you refuse to marry me, I am happy thinking you are alone. " After saying this, she walked out of the prison. 

After 3 months, his father brings him out of prison using his money and power. But, his life was not the same. Everyone looked at him with disgust, they treated him as a rapist. 

He tried to explain himself and begged them to trust him but all in vain. Slowly, he started ignoring him and started finding peace in drugs and alcohol. He mostly stays in his room, it's painful for him to bear people's disgusted looks. Now, he just wanted to stay alone.
