THE KNIGHT MANSION “Bro.. what's the matter? Why have you called us all here?” Christopher asked as the brothers and Grandma seated in the study room. Max shut the door. “Won’t take long Christopher and let’s keep this discussion only between us” Kayden mentioned. “I didn’t involve Patricia, Eleanor and Aurora because that would raise suspicions in the eyes of people who might be spying on us. I don’t want any outsider to know what we are discussing now. We can always share it with our wives privately after this meeting is over” “Kayden,” Grandma interrupted. “This emergency meeting is scaring me. Did we get any hint on Christopher’s abduction?” Max turned on the projector and the image of Sebastian’s lookalike flashed on the screen. “That’s not Sebastian” Kayden cleared Christopher and Aiden’s doubts before they could ask. “Man!! Who the hell is he then? And what does he have to do with us?” Christopher asked. “He was involved in your kidnapping Christopher” Silence spread in

“Who wants to talk to me, you said?” Eleanor Watson, the youngest daughter of Adam Watson, the present Governor of the city, asks her maid who came in her room to pass on this message.“Your father wants to talk to you.” the maid repeats seeing no reason the Princess couldn’t understand it at the first instance.Eleanor throws her purse on the bed which is scattered by her beautiful gown. It is her best friend Avery's wedding today and the only reason why she has come back to New York from Paris, taking a few days off from her upcoming movie's shoot. “Tell him I am not available to talk now. And even if I was, I am not interested in discussing anything with a man who said he doesn’t take me as his daughter anymore.” She said in a dismissing tone before focusing back on what she was doing.Her father Adam Watson, was the Governor of the Town, a wealthy man who had every right to rule the place more than anyone else but he was short of wits and skills which the Knight billionaire heirs

CHURCHThe men drag Eleanor and Avery out in the church. It’s an ancient church where you hardly can find people around. Built at the outskirts of the town, no one visits here except during the yearly fair which happens mostly in December. They force Eleanor and Avery to climb the church stairs and as they get closer, Eleanor notices the Priest sitting and doing some preparation. Their surroundings are decorated as if there is some wedding happening here. But whose? There are also few men guarding the place with guns. All of them were wearing that special attire with the Knight Royals logo on their arm.Someone pulls the scarf from Avery’s mouth first.The sudden release of the scarf brought a mix of relief and confusion to Avery. The unexpected turn of events left her disoriented.“Max?” Avery shouts seeing the man sitting before the Priest performing the ritual. “What is all this?” she screams. “Why have you got us here? It’s my marriage today.”Avery's voice echoed with a blend of

“Shut up,” Eleanor exhaled harshly, her frustration evident. Her body was shaking in anger as she struggled to get control over the situation. She never felt so frustrated ever before and she had a feeling that it has just started. “I don’t know where you got this idea that I will be marrying you. Just drop that from your mind before it starts annoying me further.”The smirk on Kayden Knight’s face disappeared. It was evident that she didn’t know anything about the marriage proposal, but he didn’t expect her to react so harshly either after knowing he is going to be her groom. Rejections and Kayden Knight never went well together.“Our marriage is unavoidable," he barked. “Now we just need to see how you take the entire ritual. You want to spoil your family’s image by crying like a fragile, sensitive doll like Avery on our wedding day or embrace it as the best decision of your life.”Eleanor gritted her teeth.“Worst decision,” she snapped. “Only being the great Knight heirs is not en

“Oh.. so she got married to THAT Max?” Adam angrily asks.Eleanor’s blood boils when she meets her father. There was never a connection between them. He always wanted a son but settled for 2 daughters instead. And only because Rose couldn’t bore more children further, he had to stop hoping. But her poor mother even gave him the liberty to re-marry but somehow he didn’t wish to take a chance. Was it the love for his wife or the fear that if his second wife also gives birth to a girl, it will crush his manly ego, she doesn’t want to know. During her early childhood, she always wanted to spend more time with her father. They say fathers love their girls more than boys. But there was nothing of that sort in their home. She always saw her father pinpointing their mistakes, shouting and screaming at them for almost everything."You girls have no choice," Adam continued to bicker, frustration evident in his voice. The dimly lit room reflected the tension, casting long shadows across the fami

The morning sunlight pricked her sleepy eyes, making Eleanor groan at the person who drew the curtains of her room apart.“Can I get some sleep in this house?” She shouts.In the soft hues of the morning light, Eleanor's abrupt shout echoed through the house, disrupting the tranquil ambiance that lingered. Rose, ever the nurturing presence, swiftly made her way to her daughter's bed, her touch gentle as she caressed Eleanor's tousled hair."Eleanor... it's 9:00 am. You wake up so late every day?" Rose inquired, a hint of concern lacing her words. Eleanor, still grappling with the remnants of a sleepless night, tossed to the other side, seeking refuge from the daylight."Your husband is responsible for this," she retorted, her frustration evident. "How am I supposed to wake up early when I couldn’t sleep the whole night?" The room, with its comfortable furnishings and the soft glow of morning sunlight, bore witness to Eleanor's discontent.Rose, understanding her daughter's turmoil, too

WATSON HOUSE Eleanor vehemently throws the dress and jewels her father sent into her room, intended for her to get dressed up.Eleanor's room resonated with frustration as she vehemently declared, "I am not wearing that, and I'm certainly not letting you tie me to the Royals forcibly!" The intensity of her refusal was matched by the evident frustration in her father Adam Watson's expression.Adam, attempting to justify his decision, retorted, "You should be thankful I have got such a nice proposal for you. There is no reason why you shouldn’t accept it." His tone, though firm, held a hint of exasperation."Nice proposal? Only because they are Royals? There is not even a pinch of decency in that man," Eleanor countered, her voice laced with disdain for the unknown suitor.Adam, defending the unseen alliance, questioned her knowledge, "How would you know that? You haven’t even met him.""I met him yesterday when his men abducted me and Avery," Eleanor revealed, her tone revealing the t

WATSON HOUSEEleanor smirks at her, displaying unexpected confidence. "I am not yet a Royal bride. And I am sure you wouldn't like to waste your blessings on others."Grandma, taken aback by Eleanor's boldness, reassesses her preconceived notions. Sean's warning about Watson's daughter not meeting expectations seems to ring true in this unexpected encounter. The room is charged with an unspoken clash of expectations and reality."You cannot talk to the Royals like that!" Adam's voice echoed through the room, a thunderous reprimand aimed at Eleanor. Her desire to retort clashed with the realization that her mother, nervously watching, had pleaded for decorum today."I sincerely apologize for that, Mrs. Caroline Knight," Eleanor bowed her head, a veneer of respect concealing her true sentiments. "But as you see, this alliance is news for me. I cannot risk my entire life to a man whom I don't know at all. And no offense, I have seen his traits enough yesterday which makes me think I want

Veronica was in the kitchen, looking after the dinner arrangements for the guests when someone tickled her waist. She almost jumped in shock before almost running away. Aiden Knight laughed heartily. “Aiden? You.. Was it you? I was so scared” she wiped off the sweat from her forehead. Veronica's heart raced as she spotted Aiden amidst the dimly lit alley. She hesitated, the fear palpable in her voice as she spoke his name. Aiden's laughter echoed off the brick walls, his amusement at her reaction evident.He grinned, still chuckling as he watched her wipe the sweat from her forehead. "Oh God. Look at you... you jumped so far," he said, his laughter infectious.Veronica's concern deepened as she glanced around nervously. "What are you doing here? If anyone sees us together, it would raise their suspicions."Aiden's laughter faded as he approached her, his gaze intense as he pulled her close. "I so wish to take off this mask from your head and..." He leaned in, his lips dangerously cl

THE KNIGHT MANSION Sebastian Knight stormed into the house. He looked completely pissed. “Where is Kayden?” he barked at Sean, their loyal butler. The servant promptly pointed out at the drawing room where Kayden and Max were discussing something. The guests had started crowding in the Palace and the women of the house were busy occupied with them. Sebastian barged in the room, shutting the door behind. Kayden didn’t like the intrusion but observing Sebastian’s present look, he could see the man was annoyed. “How dare you put spies behind me?” Sebastian shouted coming closer. Before he could touch Kayden, Max came in between them. Sebastian's voice thundered through the room, his anger palpable as he advanced towards Kayden. Max swiftly interposed himself between the two, a barrier of resolve. "Sebastian, stay back," Max cautioned, his tone firm. Sebastian's eyes flared with defiance. "Who are you to tell me that? I am talking to my brother, and no third person should intervene

Veronica flew for the Knight mansion again and Kayden was busy with some important calls briefing his team about the almost attack on Aiden which happened last night. Eleanor used the free time to call up Patricia and ask her how the preps were going. The baby shower was in two days and she couldn’t wait to see her sister all decked up and being pampered by everyone.“I am so happy you bagged the lead role. Will that mean I will see you less?” Patricia queried.“Probably” Eleanor sighed. “But I will be there by the time of your delivery. No way I can miss that”“How is dear grandma? And Aurora?”“Grandma is busy with the preps here and Aurora is assisting her. I have never seen them bonding”“Seriously? You mean grandma and Aurora?”“Yes, they seem to have built a good rapport these days”“Aww.. that’s cool. I think the credit goes to you” Eleanor praised. “Before you and Christopher showed your presence, Sebastian and Aurora were going to leave the house. And see now, she is looking

“Veronica” Aiden clutched her arm as they got out of the Pub. “You still didn’t tell me why bro and Eleanor left early?”Veronica held her blush.“You are such a bore Aiden. Why would a couple skip every enjoyment and want some privacy?”Aiden feigned thinking. She knew he was acting. She hit his chest.“You seriously think it’s their special night today?” he queried.“I am confident,” she replied. “Eleanor actually brought a bridal dress and jewelry to surprise Kayden. And we even decorated their bedroom”“How cute” Aiden was impressed. “bro really needed a wife like her”Veronica smiled.“They are a perfect couple”“Like us” He pulled her closer. “And that reminds me.. when am I getting that opportunity to see you decked up in a beautiful bridal dress, waiting for me in my bedroom?”Veronica laughed.“I didn’t joke” his voice was stern.She became serious as he held her jaw.“Aiden?”“How about tonight?”“What?”“You heard it sweetheart”“No” she pushed him away and hurried out.“St

The drive to the Villa was not very long. Eleanor dragged Kayden along and stopped once they reached the living room.“Now that we have reached..” Kayden pulled her closer. “Tell me what the surprise is”Eleanor paused him before he could kiss her. One kiss and she would melt in his arms. She wouldn’t let that happen because tonight was much more than what he had expected out of her. She pushed him on the couch.“You got your phone?” she asked.Kayden was dazed by her actions and question, both. When he didn’t respond, she started checking his shirt and denim pockets to find the mobile. Her playful hands burned his body once again. He pulled her on his lap and ensured she couldn’t get down.“Here” she handed him the mobile. “I will call you in exactly 20 minutes, until then you will behave like a nice boy and stay here. Don’t even dare to come in the bedroom”“Bedroom” he repeated. “So that’s where my surprise is”“Not yet,” she giggled. “But it will soon be ready”Kayden loved the ef

PARIS – CLUB“It worked,” Eleanor said to Veronica as they stepped inside the club and were instantly guided to the VIP area on the 3rd floor. Seemed like their husbands had taken passes for the VIP section and planned to utilize all the facilities of this Club royally.“Indeed. The brothers have united” Veronica replied.“I didn’t expect them to come here by the way”“Then you don’t know anything about their naughty past” Veronica answered. “These two had their share of fun time boozing and dancing in their free time”Now that shocked Eleanor. She couldn’t imagine her husband doing any of that publicly.“Are you serious?” she reconfirmed.“How do you think I met Aiden?”Eleanor was curious and Veronica didn’t hide that incident.FEW YEARS AGOIt was a dark night but the loud music had wiped off the silence around her. She had a short fight with her father regarding her further studies abroad. She had completed her graduation just one month ago and wanted to polish her knowledge and s

VILLAKayden hit the gym because that was the only way to spend time without his wife. Aiden was busy on calls. His producer was giving him a tough time but Aiden was handling things well. He was really a good decision maker too now, unlike before when he changed his mind almost every minute. After pushups, Kayden decided to walk on the treadmill when Aiden joined him in the gym.“You hated treadmills,” Aiden muttered.Kayden shrugged lazily.“No choice here. Unlike the Knight mansion, there is no walking area around this place. Not to mention the pollution in this city is roaring high too”“I know. But this city has some beautiful clubs and the sea link is best for racing high speed bikes at midnight”Kayden let out a chuckle.“You seem to love this city”“A lot,” Aiden nodded. “It’s like a second home”Kayden slowed the speed of the treadmill. Did he say second home?“The Knight mansion has missed you terribly Aiden. Every occasion, every festival, every celebration was void without

PARIS – VILLA“Why are you in so much hurry to show me the house Mr. Royal Knight? I can see that later. Right now I have to chat with Veronica..” Eleanor faked an excuse and joined Veronica in the living room who was sitting alone as Aiden was busy on a call.Kayden clenched his jaw. She was doing this on purpose. He wanted to spend some quality time with his wife and here she was busy ignoring him.“Hey” Eleanor sat next to Veronica. “I forgot to thank you”“Thank me? For?”“Taking up Grandma’s caretaker’s role. We wouldn’t have found a better person than you. She is really impressed by you. In fact, even Aurora and Patricia keeps telling me how much you look after every little need of Grandma”Veronica smiled. She was reluctant to pick that role because she didn’t like Grandma much just like she had hated Kayden Knight. But that was the only way to get an entry in that house.“She means something to me too. Though when I took up the role, I wasn’t very happy to be around the same w
