All Chapters of Vow To Hate You: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Darkness!That’s what was surrounding her. Her rapid breaths resonated in that eerie forest while she gazed around to look for an exit from the dreadful place. She knew that place and remembered exactly what had happened; that was the reason she was frantically searching for the exit.Help! She wanted to scream, but her throat was clogged.She wanted to run fast, but she felt her legs were rooted to the ground.She wanted to close her eyes, yet she couldn’t blink.There was no body-mind coordination in her, as if she was forced to see what was bound to happen next.Suddenly, the silence of the forest was shattered by a blast, and she flinched horribly, falling to the ground. An enormous fire was spreading from all her sides and was soon approaching her. The blazing heat from it was suffocating her, and she started coughing. The enraged fire was engulfing everything that was coming in its way, and as soon as it touched her, she let out a shattering scream.“Ziniya!”She could smell th

Ayaaz and Naila were busy in their playful banter while Ziniya chose to avoid them. It was then that their colleague informed them about the meeting in the conference room. Ziniya was never happier about the team meeting than she was at that moment. What irked her was that her friend forgot about her presence as soon as she saw a decent-looking stranger.Okay, he is not a stranger, but one of the employees now, and fine, he looks good, not decent. But still, how can she ignore my existence before him? Ziniya was scowling inwardly.She couldn’t understand why this stranger was stirring such strong emotions in her, and she was certain it had nothing to do with yesterday’s incident. She knew she should be grateful to him, but his presence was unsettling her.Perhaps it was her past experiences that were coloring her perception, or maybe it was just her own insecurities. Ziniya had always maintained a safe distance from men, and this situation was no different.Leaving them on their own,

Knock.A knock saved her day. Ziniya was on the verge of pushing Kabir away from her and slapping him. He not only manipulated his actions when his intent was clear, but also blamed her with a false accusation. She was never one to back down from accepting her mistakes; however, he not only called her inside his cabin with a hidden motive but also accused her of wrongdoing.Before she could retaliate, someone knocked on the door. Kabir inhaled sharply through his nose before glancing towards the door over his shoulder and shouting at the intruder, “What!”Ziniya, visibly shaken by his angry voice, seized the opportunity of his distraction and broke free from his grasp. She retreated to a safe distance, her mind reeling with confusion. The fear she had harbored was now a reality: Kabir had a hidden agenda, but the reason behind it eluded her.“Come in,” he said, straightening his back and composing himself.“Sir, forgive me for interrupting, but Amaan Sir has been calling for a long

Inside the car, Kabir's eyes tracked their every move. He couldn't suppress a sneer as Ayaaz tucked her hair behind her ear, then escorted her into the taxi before sliding in beside her. "To the mansion," Kabir ordered. Ayaan found Kabir on the terrace, staring out at the city. "Dad has been calling since morning," Ayaan said, standing behind him. "If you won't talk to him, at least talk to Momma. How long am I supposed to keep making excuses for you?" A strong smell hit Ayaan, and he scoffed. "Are you serious? You're drinking and smoking again. You know Dad doesn't like your lifestyle." He grabbed the cigarette from Kabir's hand and crushed it in the ashtray. 

“Remember this pain—” Kabir stopped mid-sentence as his phone blared on the table. He violently wrenched her hand away, and she let out a small whimper, clutching her rapidly bruising wrist against her chest. Kabir stalked back toward the table, his eyes still burning with fury at her.However, the rage in his eyes vanished the instant he saw the caller ID, leaving Ziniya utterly astounded. One moment he had been a terrifying beast, and the next, seeing the name of the person calling, his entire demeanor softened to a gentle aura.What are you waiting for? Run, her mind screamed a frantic warning. She reacted immediately, bolting out of the meeting room as fast as her legs could carry her.Kabir, completely focused, didn’t even glance at Ziniya, answering the call with palpable excitement in his voice.“Bhai!” a girl's cheerful voice squealed from the other end of the line.“How is my princess doing?” Kabir asked, pulling out a chair and sitting down.“Your princess is upset,” she rep
