📖 Scar of Fortune
Chapter 1 – The Burned Scar
Night had fallen.
Inside the mansion, chaos reigned—no drums, no laughter, only screams.
Twelve-year-old Veer clung tightly to his mother. Her clothes were soaked in blood. His father lay wounded on the floor. And standing before them was the man Veer once trusted the most—his own uncle.
"From today, this property is mine alone, Raju," the uncle said coldly. His eyes held no trace of humanity.
"You… you'll never live in peace after killing us," Veer's father spat blood as he spoke.
One of the uncle's men held a burning iron rod. Veer cried out, "Maa! Papa!" but they shoved him aside.
The rod slammed against his back.
SSSSHHHH!
The stench of burning flesh filled the air. Veer's scream shattered the silence of the haveli.
Before his eyes, his mother and father collapsed… and everything ended.
His uncle tossed a one-rupee coin at his feet. "This is your worth. Leave my mansion—and never return."
Staggering, Veer stumbled out into the night. His scar throbbed with pain, tears streaming endlessly down his face.
The road was dark. His bare feet bled, yet only one question echoed in his heart:
Why? Why only me?
Up ahead, a car sped down the road. A little girl—barely six years old—stood frozen in its path. Her pink hair fluttered in the wind, eyes wide with fear.
Without thinking, Veer ran.
"Move!" He shoved the girl aside.
And then—
BANG!
The car struck him.
His vision blurred. His breath grew shallow. The last thing he saw was the small, pink-haired girl crying.
And in his fading heart, a single thought whispered:
"Maa… Papa… I saved someone."
Darkness claimed him.
