KNIGHTS MANSION Kayden waits for another minute to actually give Eleanor a chance to rectify her sleeping pose. Her strong kicks have ruined his sleep. Never did he imagine a woman snatching his peace to this extent. But realizing this was not going to end as he desired, Kayden decides to put an end to it. He slides his arms beneath her and carries her to the recliner. She is a careless sleeping beauty, having no regards to who touched her and what was happening with her in sleep. Though it worked tonight in his favor, it still frustrated him. This can be a trouble to her if she happens to sleep over at a place other than her home with strangers around. He puts her on the recliner. She wriggles at first feeling the hard surface beneath, a total contrast to the soft bed she was resting so far. But even that doesn’t wake her up. Kayden grabs a pillow and a quilt for her and adjusts them to support her head and cover her body. If she is going to kick him, this is where she will end u
"Good morning," Aurora greeted with a grin as she entered the room, her eyes scanning the space for any clues about the previous night's events. The sunlight filtering through the curtains cast a warm glow on the elegant furnishings, contrasting with the subtle tension that hung in the air.Kayden, standing by the door, stepped aside with a polite nod, allowing his sister-in-law to enter. Aurora wasted no time in her search, her keen eyes darting around the room for any subtle signs that might betray the events of the evening before. A misplaced item, a rumpled bedsheet, anything to confirm her suspicions."I am here," Eleanor declared, her voice clear and pointed, drawing Aurora's attention away from her inspection of the room. She stood tall, her posture defiant, a glimmer of challenge in her eyes."Yes, I see," Aurora responded, stepping forward. Her gaze lingered on Eleanor for a moment before sweeping over the room once more. "You haven't showered yet? It's 9:00 am."Eleanor's li
“What other lies have you told me apart from this Kayden Knight?” she groans, her face turns red. It is hard to believe this man is planning to put a full stop to her career. She is never going to let that happen.Kayden fakes to recollect and count the number of lies he told her. His eyes scanned the room as if searching for the precise count of his deceit. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, he met Eleanor's gaze once more, the flicker of remorse barely visible in his expression."Just one more," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper, as he closed the distance between them. Eleanor held her ground, her heart pounding against her ribcage, as Kayden leaned in, his warm breath tickling her earlobe. "There is no threat to Patricia and Christopher's life."Eleanor's breath caught in her throat, her mind struggling to process the weight of his words. The foundation of her marriage, the very reason she had surrendered to this man, shattered with his admission. Pulling away s
Eleanor is not in their bedroom which infuriates him even more. If she has eloped again, he will not tolerate it. He comes down to the living room, heading straight towards the door to look for her.Kayden's heart skipped a beat as he heard Eleanor's voice, a flood of relief washing over him at the sight of her standing in the kitchen. She looked resolute, still adorned in the same yellow dress she had worn earlier in the day."Where were you?" Kayden's voice rang out, filled with a mix of concern and frustration as he approached her.Eleanor's expression remained steely, her eyes flashing with suppressed anger as she chose to remain silent. She took a few steps towards the stairs, but Kayden swiftly reached out, grasping her elbow to stop her in her tracks."I asked... where were you?" he pressed, his tone more insistent this time."Will you ask all your doubts today itself?" Eleanor shot back, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "We have a long way to go, isn't it? Save some questions
KNIGHT MANSION Eleanor paced the room, her mobile pressed tightly against her ear, while Millie’s voice echoed with concern.“Millie, calm down,” Eleanor urged, her tone firm yet reassuring. “I'll talk to Mr. Smith. And no, your job is not at risk. I won't find another Professional Assistant like you."Millie, Eleanor’s trusted Personal Assistant, had called again with updates on their client, Mr. Smith. The upcoming shoot for a baby care product was crucial, with significant funds already invested. Eleanor couldn't afford to cancel the contract, not just financially but also for her career's sake.“Ma’am, thank you. I'll send you Mr. Smith’s details,” Millie replied earnestly.“Thank you, Millie,” Eleanor said, relief evident in her voice as she ended the call. But behind her facade of calm, she knew handling Mr. Smith wouldn't be easy.The room around her held the scent of fresh coffee mingled with the faint aroma of flowers from the vase on her desk. Papers lay scattered, evidence
"Kayden," he began, his voice measured and calm, "please come." His words carried an over welcoming essence which Kayden didn't like. He hates fakeness. Kayden Knight stood in the doorway, his expression unreadable. He hesitated for a moment before stepping into the room, his gaze flickering briefly over Adam before settling on the floor.Rose bustled into the room with a tray of steaming tea, the fragrant aroma wafting through the air. She wore a worried expression, lines of concern etched into her features."Get some tea for us, Rose," Adam instructed gently, his eyes softening as he regarded his wife. Kayden remained silent, a silent observer in the midst of their familial turmoil. He understood the boundaries, knowing that some matters were meant for family alone."Eleanor is... a little emotional," Adam explained, his tone carefully neutral. "You know how it is." It was a half-truth, a vague attempt to shield Kayden from the full extent of their daughter's struggles."I have ot
As Kayden's irked expression flickered towards Max for the intrusion of Sebastian Knight, he felt a surge of annoyance at the poking attitude of Sebastian and his wife, a recurring source of irritation for both Kayden and Eleanor."How would I know what you heard?" Kayden replied curtly, his tone tinged with irritation as he started the treadmill and began walking, gradually increasing the speed.Sebastian let out a fake laugh, his demeanor exuding an air of faux concern. "You and Eleanor are going on honeymoon?" he prodded, his eyes narrowing inquisitively.Kayden's silence spoke volumes, his frustration mounting as he braced himself for Sebastian's inevitable commentary."I heard it from outsiders," Sebastian continued, his tone bordering on reproachful. "Seems Eleanor has posted it on her social media. She has to learn some etiquettes of the family. It's not good to share each and every moment of your lives so openly. You know the media is already hungry for news, and not to forget
NEXT MORNING"How the hell did this happen?!" Kayden's frustration boiled over as he surveyed the contents of his bag, his anger simmering just beneath the surface. Eleanor couldn't help but suppress a laugh at his expense, finding amusement in his predicament. After all, it was her mischievous handiwork that had led to his current dilemma.Despite his meticulous instructions to the servant to ensure that his preferred wardrobe made its way into the car, Eleanor had seized the opportunity to play a prank on her unsuspecting husband. With a deft sleight of hand, she had swapped the bags, leaving Kayden none the wiser as they embarked on their journey to Miami."Where is my bag?" Kayden demanded, his frustration palpable as he turned to Eleanor for answers, his brows furrowed in confusion."I don't know," Eleanor shrugged innocently, feigning ignorance with practiced ease."What do you mean you don't know?" Kayden groaned in exasperation, his patience wearing thin. "What the hell am I s
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
