"Where is your ring?" His voice cut through the air, a sharp inquiry that seemed to carry more weight than the question itself. The room, with its muted tones and elegant decor, became a silent witness to the unfolding tension.She instinctively moved her hand to the back, a reflexive attempt to shield herself from the intensity of his gaze. How had he noticed she wasn't wearing their engagement ring? Did the absence of that small band truly make a difference? To her, it didn't, but the significance seemed amplified in his eyes."I forgot to wear it. What’s your problem?" she retorted, her response tinged with a touch of defiance. The room, adorned with framed memories and tasteful furnishings, held its breath, anticipating the exchange that unfolded."You took it off, that’s my problem," he snapped, his tone edged with a bitterness that hung in the air. The atmosphere in the room, once filled with the hum of subtle conversations, now crackled with an undercurrent of tension.His behav

KNIGHT MANSION Eleanor's gaze wanders through the elaborate decorations of the wedding venue, adorned with cascading flowers and shimmering lights. The lively chatter of guests creates a symphony of celebration, contrasting with the tension brewing within her.As Aurora inches closer, the scent of jasmine wafts in the air, mingling with the fragrant henna on Eleanor's palms. The intricate patterns tell a story of tradition and celebration, a stark contrast to the turmoil within.A distant melody plays, echoing the festivities. Eleanor's mind races with questions about Kayden's sudden departure. Why did he leave, and where could he be wandering in the midst of his own wedding preparations?“Whom is the Knight Bride searching for in this crowd?” Aurora Knight breaks Eleanor’s trance. “Are you looking for my brother-in-law?” she whispers coming closer to Eleanor.Eleanor fakes a smile.“He is not home” Aurora sits next to her, admiring the henna drawn on Eleanor’s palms. “He looked very

The dance function continues with no signs of the strange woman. The Watsons decide to head back home. The next day was the roce ceremony and there were still a lot of preps they had to do from their end. As they all get up, Sebastian and Aurora joins the Watson couple to escort them till the door.In the midst of the Knight family's engagement preparations, Aurora, the ever-observant member, couldn't help but notice the sudden silence that had enveloped Eleanor."Eleanor, why are you so quiet now?" Aurora prodded, her curiosity evident. "When Kayden was not home, you were so desperately asking for him." Kayden, catching wind of the mention of Eleanor's apparent interest, raised a skeptical brow."Is that so?" he inquired, an undercurrent of curiosity in his voice.Eleanor, feeling the scrutiny of both Aurora and Kayden, bit her lip. Sensing an opportunity to address the brewing questions, she discreetly slowed Kayden down as the family advanced, ensuring a moment of privacy."Where ha

KNIGHTS HOUSE “Kayden?” Max barges in the groom’s room. “Have you increased the security all of a sudden? Why do I see guards outside Eleanor’s room?”Kayden is dressed in a black suit. The wedding rituals are going to begin in some time. He picks the note from the table, the same note which he had snatched from Eleanor earlier.“Because of this” he shows Max the note and then waits until he finishes reading.‘I am ending my life because there is no one left in my life to live with. The Knights have made me suffer enough and I pray they suffer some day too. Kayden Knight is responsible for my decision of suicide. He has pushed me to the extremes where I don’t see any exit apart from death. I want him to be punished. He deserves no mercy. No mercy!! – Diana’Max's eyes widened in shock, pupils dilating as he lifted his gaze to meet Kayden's intense stare. The dim light in the room cast shadows, emphasizing the gravity of the situation."This is Diana's suicide note. Why are you showi
Billionaire's Forced Bride: Dear Wife, You Can't Escape 18. Finding her
"Don't lie to me," Kayden scowled at Adam Watson behind the closed room's walls. Ever since Eleanor Watson went missing, he hadn't let Adam out of his sight. "Tell me where she is, Watson. If I find out you have done this purposely to hurt our reputation, then...""I haven't done anything," Adam snapped, defiance in his eyes. "And you're talking about your reputation? Nothing will happen to it because my daughter has eloped. People will point a finger at me, not you," he added with a bitter tone.Kayden took a step back, allowing Adam to finish his words, the tension palpable in the confined space."God knows what sins I have done that both of my daughters ditched me? First Patricia and now... Eleanor," Adam lamented, his voice heavy with despair.Kayden swallowed hard at the mention of Patricia's name, the past wounds reopening with the rawness of the present situation."For once... Once I see Eleanor again... I swear... I swear I will not leave her. I am going to punish her for stai

OLD RAILWAY STATION “Leave me… Leave me I said” Eleanor shouts at the top of her voice, struggling to set herself free from the clutches of Kayden Knight who managed to trace her location and flopped her plan to flee.The moment he sets her free from his grip, she starts running behind the train which is yet to depart completely from the Station. She is much much away from the last compartment to board back the train and even if she runs faster than usual, she cannot catch up with its speed. She still runs in the direction of the train, yelling at it to stop but all in vain. The train leaves the station and Eleanor’s feet trembles at the thought that now there is no way she can escape the Knight Wedding.She drops down on her knees, yelling at the top of her voice, taking out her frustration on the deserted station where no one can even come to help. Kayden watches all of her actions from a distance, giving her the time she needs to face the fact. Max is still far from the two and fe

KNIGHT MANSION– AN HOUR LATER “Caroline... What is all this? Is the marriage even happening or have you called us all for putting a fake show?” one of the guests speaks aloud, gathering the attention of everyone else too.Caroline is confused about what to reply. No one ever spoke to her in a mocking tone so far. The Watson couple look down in disappointment for being responsible for all this. Aurora Knight is enjoying the show. She is the one who coaxed this woman to raise her doubts about the wedding happening or not. Now the great matriarch of this family would understand how it feels to be insulted."Where is the bride?" the guest continued to poke, persistent in their inquiry."She is here," a voice resonates, cutting through the air like a blade. The eldest grandson of the Knight family, Kayden Knight, steps forward. Every pair of eyes present in the grand house turns around, seeking the source of the revelation. There, at the entrance, stands the would-be couple, and Aurora's

AN HOUR LATERAurora's frustration echoed through the room as she vehemently pushed away the gifts arranged in her room. Sebastian, her husband, observed her with a sense of disappointment mirroring her own.“Nothing is in our favor… nothing..” Aurora's voice reverberated, frustration etched on her face. “She had eloped… I know she had eloped from this marriage then why did she come back? Why?”Sebastian approached her, his demeanor a mix of concern and understanding. “My love… Why are you burning your energy so much?”Aurora's eyes blazed with intensity. “How can you ask me that, Sebastian? My sister should have been Kayden’s bride… not Eleanor. She snatched my sister’s place. How can you expect me to calm down?”Sebastian gently pulled her into his arms, attempting to offer solace amid the turmoil of emotions. “Because that’s what we can do for now,” he soothingly replied. “Eleanor might have sounded very confident when she returned, but there is something these two are hiding.

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

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
