"Do you think I give a fuck to what you think?" Arohan mocked and pushed Vanya away.

Vanya's beautiful brown eyes were swollen as tears swelled from them. Her luscious black hair was in a mess as she tried to get a hold of Arohan.

Arohan was a handsome man in his mid-twenties with a handsome face. A frown appeared on his face as he tried to move away before Vanya could touch him.

He and Vanya had been in an open relationship for the past two weeks, but for some reason, now Vanya wanted to be in an exclusive relationship with him.

Arohan didn't like to be bound by commitments so he immediately dumped her, but she didn't accept that.

"I am Pregnant!"

Arohan immediately froze in his steps and turned around. His already fair face had turned even whiter with his mouth wide open as he looked at Vanya.

"Wha- What do you mea- mean?"

Arohan couldn't even form a straight sentence and asked in surprise.

Vanya didn't speak anything but rushed inside. Arohan kept looking at where Vanya was a moment earlier instead of following her. Even his mind was blank at that moment.

Vanya came around a minute later and she had a pregnancy device in her hands. With shaking hands, Arohan took that from her.

His heart immediately sank to the depths of hell when he saw the positive.

"Didn't you say it was a safe day?"

He looked up with a fearful expression and asked. His tone also contained hints of anger.

"I also don't know how this happened," The tears that had stopped began rushing once again as Vanya replied with her voice slightly choking.

Arohan didn't say anything, grabbed Vanya's hands, and immediately took her to the nearest hospital.

Forget the country, in the entire world he was a known face due to his wealth, so it didn't take long for him to get an appointment.

A few minutes later,

"Congratulations sir, you are going to become a father," The doctor shared the happy news with Arohan while Vanya was looking at the floor.

"I want to abort it!"

Not even a second had passed when Arohan said those monstrous words, taking both Vanya and the doctor by surprise.

After the surprise, a surge of anger rushed through Vanya.

"How dare you even speak that?" She growled like a beast.

Arohan was taken aback by the strong reaction, but he maintained his calm and instead looked at the doctor.

"Why are you looking at her, look at me, you beast."

"How dare you make the decision for me and my baby?"

Vanya seemed to have forgotten everything at that moment and was consumed by rage.

Arohan tried to control himself but soon reached his limit and snapped at Vanya.

"If you want to keep it, keep it, but I don't want anything to do with it."

He didn't even wait for any answer and left the hospital. It was like he was running away.

Vanya finally came around and was about to run to catch up to him, but immediately his monstrous words flashed in her memory. She stopped and instead looked below at her belly.

Even the fetus hadn't formed and she had already begun to have maternal feelings for the child. She pulled out her phone and called her mother.

Around an hour later, her parents rushed to the hospital. Her father was filled with anger and fear while her mother was tending to her.

Vanya didn't come from an ordinary background either. She and her family wasn't as rich as or anywhere close to what Arohan had, but they were still rich enough to be considered one of the wealthiest group of people in the world.

Vanya had have a crush on Arohan for ages, so when the two decided to have an open relationship, only Arohan was the one having sex outside of their relationship. She was extremely loyal to him, and that's why she even let him have her without protection.

"How could you even ask for an abortion for your child?" Mr. Green asked angrily. He was the father of Vanya and after he learned Arohan was the father, he immediately grabbed hold of him.

"Look Mr. Green, if your daughter want to keep that baby, it is up to her. I don't want anything to do with it."

"God, how can a father be so cruel?"

"God?"

"Hahaha, you are one of those fools who believe there is a powerful being watching over us."

Arohan immediately burst into laughter, making Mr. Green angrier than ever.

He wanted to speak, but immediately shut his mouth when Arohan's aura suddenly changed. From laughter, his face turned to anger, and in less than a second, his face had almost turned red.

"If there was a God, would he let someone horrible like me have a kid?"

"If there was a God, why didn't he stop that accident?"

"If God exist, and you meet him, tell that old guy to create some intelligent beings."

A month later,

Arohan moved away the blanket as he stood up from the bed. On the other side, a beautiful lady was sleeping, while on the table next to the bed, there was a photo of a smiling married couple holding a young child.

On the wall, there was the painting of a deity, and Arohan scoffed at it mumbling, "See how degenerate your worshippers are."

Ring!

Suddenly, the sound of door bell rang, waking up the beautiful woman in his early thirties. She had a sleepy expression but when the second bell rang, her sleep immediately disappeared.

"Hide, it is my father!"

She yelled in fear and immediately rushed to wear her clothes.

A playful expression appeared on his face and he immediately walked to the woman and caught hold of the underwear she was trying to wear.

"Let him be!"

He said and pushed his lips onto the woman. The woman wanted to push him away but as soon as his hands touched her below, she was electrified and all her struggles disappeared. She even began to take the initiative.

At the door, the father was ringing bell, while inside the house, the daughter was having fun with a man other than her husband.

With a frustrated expression, the father left, but Arohan and the woman remained oblivious to it.

***

"Is it your kink?"

The woman asked as she took Arohan to the bathroom to have one last fun in the shower.

"Why speak when your mouth could be put up to better use?"

***

"Is the deal done?"

Arohan asked his secretary. After his parents death, he had become the sole heir of the wealth accumulated by them.

Even though they left him more than enough for him to enjoy his life to the fullest, he still did some things. The remaining time of his life went in fucking women.

The secretary wasn't in the position to respond as Arohan was pushing her mouth, but she still tried to nod, giving him even more stimulation.

Ring!

Arohan was enjoying the moment when his phone suddenly lit up. When he saw the caller ID, a frown appeared on his face.

He then ignored it and let the call go to the voicemail.

"I will be delivering the baby the day after tomorrow. You can come if you want to see the baby."

Whatever thoughts Arohan had in his mind for the secretary to do immediately disappeared and instead a surge of anger built up in his heart.

Unknowingly, he pushed the secretary further, causing her to choke. When she tried to struggle, he came around and moved his hand away.

Cough! Cough!

She coughed up a lot of spit and took deep breaths.

"What about this baby?"

She didn't forget the importance of the moment and asked. It was the first time she was hearing about anything related to the baby.

"You have to see the baby and give them your name," The secretary responded with a shocked face after learning about the situation.

"And why would I do that?"

Arohan asked angrily. Since when has been its her turn to tell him to do things. The women had been secretary for more than a decade but he didn't respect her at all. If she wasn't beautiful and married, he wouldn't even look at her, let alone fuck her and allow her to make so many important decision about his parent' company.

"If you don't do that, you will be disqualified from your parent's will and the entire wealth left by your father would be transferred to that children."

"FUCK!"

Arohan shouted in anger after seeing the will left by his father.

"Why would he even add such a thing in the will?"

***

Argh!

Vanya screamed in pain as she tried to push the baby. Her struggles bore her fruit, and soon, the baby was pushed out, and as soon as her ears heard the baby's crying sound, a wave of exhaustion rushed through her body. She immediately fell into a sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, she woke up and was met with a tense atmosphere in the hospital room.

Not far from the bed, her parents were standing angrily and looking in her direction. To be precise, in the direction behind her.

She turned around in confusion and soon it turned into shock as she saw the familiar figure she had been wishing to see every moment, holding the son she had given birth to a few hours earlier.

She forgot everything at that moment and had her eyes only on the man she loved the most in her life. The tears she had been spilling in hiding burst out in the open.

***

It was Arohan's twenty-seventh birthday today, and his house was gearing up to celebrate that. After that day, Arohan married Vanya, and their son became a legal child.

But since Arohan was forced to have that child due to the will, he decided to live the same way he had lived. He fucked whichever woman he wanted while Vanya cried in hiding. In fact, a roommate had more chemistry than what was going on in between Vanya and Arohan.

Even though she loved him too much, but she also has had enough of his behavior, so after the birthday celebration, Vanya had decided to divorce him and take her son away from this disgusting man.

Unware of Vanya's thoughts, Arohan was playing with Agastya. He had grown fond of his son as soon as he had accepted the reality that he had a son.

"Should daddy buy a new island for us to enjoy when you become young?"

"Can't you be a normal human at least in front of your son?"

Vanya chided Arohan.

Arohan ignored Vanya and was about to say an even more outrageous thing when he paused as the house suddenly started shaking.

"Let's go!"

Arohan picked up Agastya, grabbed hold of Vanya's hand and tried to run away as soon as he regained his capability to think after the pause.

At the same time, he was confused. The house they were living in was one of the most secure houses on the planet and could even survive a direct missile attack. He wondered just how strong the earthquake was that even a secure house like his was on the verge of cracking.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

Chandeliers, paintings, expensive vases, and tables came crashing down as the shaking intensity only grew.

There was a special lift in the house for situations like this. It was purchased by Arohan at an insane price. The makers had boasted that even in the center of a nuclear blast, the lift would work fine.

Arohan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after finding that the lift was working fine. He immediately pressed his fingerprint on the box above the buttons. The next moment, it slid open, and a new button appeared.

Arohan pressed it, and the lift began to fall at a rapid pace, but inside the lift, it didn't feel a thing.

There was a nuclear sheltor hidden underground and Arohan was taking his family there.

It was made from such strong materials that even mountains would feel tame in comparison. A sense of security returned in his heart, but it didn't last long.

The lift suddenly stopped, knocking the three of them hard on the top. Arohan felt an intense pain, but he immediately looked at his son, who was now bleeding and had become unconscious. Vanya was in the same condition.

"What the fuck is happening?"

Arohan growled as he tried to stop the bleeding of his son.

Suddenly his hands froze and time came to a still.

Cracks began to appear out of nowhere and an eye the size of a basketball popped out of it.

Time returned to flow. Arohan was a human, so how could he notice that time was stopped and had started to flow once again. He reached to his son to stop the bleeding when suddenly a creepy feeling swept through his body.

Ugly, hideous worms started to creep out of the blood from nowhere and rushed to him. With a scream, he backed away, and the worm's target changed to Agastya.

"Are you fucking with me?" He roared and tried to move closer to his son to stop those disgusting things.

Right at that moment, an emotionless voice rang in his ears, freezing his hand.

A/N: The book will contain some element of Gore. Since it deals with Gods, there will be Evil Gods, and the specific evil rituals for that. It will not be explained too much since we aren't psychopaths, but only some points.The MC isn't a hero or a good guy at all. Some of his actions would make even the villains tame in comparison, but he is the protagonist of the story, and there are no good guys or bad guys in this one. Everything goes in this book.

It will have many adult moments and also also a harem. I will promise you one thing, the harem in this book won't be like catching pokemons. Each will be talented character of her own and unlike the first chapter, it won't have concepts of cheating in the later chapters.

Him having sex with married women is just to establish how degenerate he is currently. He will be an unprincipled guy, but not a degenerate as the story develops.

If you are uncomfortable with that kind of story, be warned before you read any more, and if you are ok with it, I humbly welcome you to join this book.

I had a reader in the past who would abuse me for using the word God or Gods, so if you are one of them, this book is not for you. It is set in a fictional world, and even if then you want to be offended, be my guest.
