FORGOTTEN PROMISESE - The Beginning of Something Dangerous

Rain returned again the next evening.

Arjun worked late in his office at home while Meera wandered restlessly through the mansion.

Her mind kept replaying everything:

The diary

Rhea’s words

Arjun protecting her during the blackout

Nothing made sense anymore.

Was he cold?

Or caring?

Distant?

Or simply broken?

The Attack

Suddenly—

A loud crash echoed downstairs.

Meera jumped.

Glass shattered.

Fear immediately gripped her chest.

She hurried toward the hallway.

And froze.

A masked man stood inside the mansion.

Her blood ran cold.

The intruder looked directly at her.

Then started walking closer.

Slowly.

Deliberately.

Meera backed away in panic.

“Who are you?!”

No answer.

Only footsteps.

Closer.

Then—

“MEERA!”

Arjun’s voice thundered through the house.

The intruder immediately ran.

Arjun sprinted downstairs and grabbed Meera protectively behind him.

“Stay back.”

Security alarms exploded throughout the mansion.

The masked man escaped through the broken window.

Arjun’s expression turned terrifyingly dark.

Not scared.

Furious.

Fear and Comfort

Meera trembled uncontrollably.

Arjun turned toward her instantly.

“Are you hurt?”

She shook her head weakly.

But tears had already formed.

Without thinking—

She grabbed his arm tightly.

“I was scared…”

The vulnerability in her voice shattered something inside him.

Arjun gently held her shoulders.

“I won’t let anything happen to you.”

For the first time since the accident—

Meera believed him.

A Hidden Truth

Later that night—

Arjun stood alone in his study.

Kabir faced him seriously.

“This wasn’t random.”

“I know.”

Kabir lowered his voice.

“Do you think it’s Vikram?”

Arjun’s eyes darkened instantly.

“Yes.”

“And if he targets Meera again?”

Silence.

Cold.

Dangerous silence.

Then Arjun spoke quietly:

“If Vikram touches her again…”

His voice became deadly calm.

“I’ll destroy him.”

Meanwhile…

Across the city—

Vikram smiled while listening to the report.

“So,” he murmured, “Arjun is finally afraid.”

He leaned back comfortably.

“Good.”

Then his smile widened darkly.

“Because this is only the beginning.”
