Billionaire's Forced Bride: Dear Wife, You Can't Escape 26. Going back
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

“I think the Doctor didn’t dress it properly”As Eleanor sat on the couch, her injured foot propped up, she watched warily as Kayden knelt down before her, his gaze focused intently on the plaster cast encasing her leg."What are you doing?" she demanded, her voice tinged with apprehension as she instinctively drew her foot away from his reach."The plaster," he replied matter-of-factly, his tone betraying none of the frustration she sensed simmering beneath the surface. "It's coming loose. Let me fix it."Eleanor's heart raced with panic as she resisted the urge to retreat further from his probing touch. She knew she couldn't allow him to discover the truth, not when her entire ruse depended on maintaining the illusion of her injury."No," she protested, her voice coming out sharper than intended as she recoiled from his outstretched hand.But Kayden's resolve remained unshaken as he moved to grasp her foot, his fingers closing in on the edge of the plaster cast.

“Me? I am not very good at handling such men” Olivia replies. “But you are smart, I am sure you will plan something good”Eleanor smirks. She has a plan already. She would do something to attract his attention completely and then.. maybe show him his right place. Olivia notices Eleanor’s empty glass. She has finished the Mocktail.“Want to refill?” she asks Eleanor. “Maybe a Vodka this time?”As Olivia shared her hesitations about handling men like Kayden, Eleanor couldn't help but smirk at the thought. She knew she had a plan already brewing in her mind, one that would surely catch Kayden's attention and perhaps even put him in his place. The glint of mischief in Eleanor's eyes didn't go unnoticed by Olivia, who offered a supportive nod of encouragement.But as the conversation shifted to the topic of drinks, Olivia noticed Eleanor's empty glass and suggested a refill. Eleanor hesitated for a moment, her thoughts lingering on the dangers of indulging in stronger spirits. "No, I'm fi

MIAMI – RESORTKayden's frustration reached a boiling point as Eleanor continued to ramble incoherently, her words slurred and disjointed as she struggled to maintain her composure. He shook her gently, hoping to snap her out of her drunken stupor and get some semblance of sense out of her."What secret?" he demanded, his voice edged with impatience. He needed answers, and he needed them now. What had led Eleanor to sabotage their trip by hiding his clothes, and why had she faked an injury upon her return to the resort? The questions swirled in his mind, each one more urgent than the last.But Eleanor's response only served to deepen Kayden's frustration. She pressed a finger to his lips, her touch feather-light as she hushed him with a whispered plea."Don't shout," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "I can sense him... here."Kayden's brow furrowed in confusion. "Who?" he snapped, his patience wearing thin as he struggled to make sense of Eleanor's cryptic words.Her re

AN HOUR LATEREleanor's hands trembled as she recounted the harrowing events to Avery, her best friend over the phone call. "No way… no way… I cannot face him again," she shuddered, her voice barely a whisper, as if afraid that speaking louder would make the nightmare all too real.Eleanor shudders while speaking to Avery. She wanted to talk about this to someone, to make her heart feel lighter. And who better than her best friend could it be to share? Avery is equally surprised that something like this happened but instead of being worried she is thinking from another angle.“Eleanor…” Avery tries to give her a piece of advice. “I know this is not good but it's not bad either.”“What do you mean? How can you even think so, Avery? I have never given that rights to any man so far”Avery listened intently, her brow furrowed with concern. Her presence was a comforting anchor amidst Eleanor's storm of emotions. "Eleanor," she began gently, reaching out to squeeze her friend's trembling h

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
