KNIGHT MANSION

Sebastian and Aurora were seated comfortably on the plush couch in their spacious living room, engaged in a hushed conversation. The room exuded an air of sophistication, adorned with tasteful décor and soft ambient lighting.

As they discussed matters privately, the sound of footsteps interrupted their exchange. The maid, a discreet presence in the household, approached them with a sense of deference.

"Ma’am, the girl has come," she announced softly, her voice barely audible in the elegant surroundings.

Aurora, poised and composed, acknowledged the maid's message with a nod. "Make her sit outside. I will come and brief her," she instructed, her tone carrying an air of authority.

With a respectful bow, the maid retreated, leaving the couple to resume their conversation.

Sebastian, a picture of refinement in his tailored suit, furrowed his brow in confusion. "Girl?" he questioned, directing his gaze towards his wife.

Aurora, radiating an aura of sophistication, explained

    KNIGHT MANSION Aurora Knight welcomed the couple half-heartedly. She had no joy on her face seeing Kayden and Eleanor return in fact she had loads of doubts why they were so distanced from each other. When the Knight car parked at the portico, Kayden had got down first and whilst he waited for Eleanor to get down too, so that they could walk together, she chose not even to look at him and hurried inside. It was only after a few seconds and strides that he matched her speed and reached the entrance door at the same time. He stole her glances at regular intervals but Eleanor didn’t even care to check him once. Aurora had watched all of this very carefully and realised something was fishy.Aurora's interruption sliced through the conversation like a sharp blade. "You look pale," she observed, concern etched across her features. "Were you unwell?"Eleanor hesitated, her mind scrambling for an excuse to deflect Aurora's inquiry. She couldn't bear the thought of disclosing her recent pan

    Max was sceptical initially why Kayden called him to meet so suddenly in the mansions. And since Avery was invited by Eleanor to meet, the couple came together and met their respective friends in different rooms. Eleanor was in the bedroom with Avery whereas Kayden and Max were in the backyard garden."Oh," Max sighed, his tone heavy with resignation as he leaned back in his chair. "So, she's given you the ultimatum. Typical Eleanor move. I warned you, Kayden. She's not one to take things lightly, especially not after you meddled with her career."Kayden bristled at Max's words, his jaw tightening with frustration. "I rectified the situation," he retorted sharply. "She regained all her contracts and yet she's still unwilling to stay."Max arched an eyebrow, a knowing smile playing at the corners of his lips. "You merely gave her back what was rightfully hers to begin with," he remarked wryly. "If you hadn't tampered with her career in the first place, perhaps she wouldn't be contempla

    KNIGHT MANSION Property discussion ended and Eleanor was the first one to leave the room. Whatever terms Kayden had mentioned at the end was above her head. Needless to say, she didn’t need his money. Only because she was his wife didn’t mean she should inherit his 50% of property and assets. But arguing with him now was baseless. She decided to talk to him and force him to discard her name from that agreement later. When she came out, she almost bumped with Jane Doe who was equally stunned for almost being caught eavesdropping.The atmosphere in the room tensed as Eleanor's gaze pierced through Jane Doe's veil of hair. "Sorry... Your highness..." Jane murmured, bowing deeply.Eleanor, though not one for unnecessary formality, couldn't shake the feeling that this maid was different from the usual household staff. "You... you're the new caretaker for grandma, aren't you?" she inquired, studying Jane intently.Jane nodded solemnly, confirming Eleanor's suspicion. "Yes, your highness."

    CHRISTMASThe sun rose earlier than usual even though it's winter at this moment. Eleanor woke up alone on the bed. 2 days had passed finally and today she had plans to leave the house, this family and her over expecting husband who was missing in the room right now.She showered and wearing a simple yellow-white combination dress she came out of her room checking messages on her phone. She had plenty of Happy Christmas wishes from her friends, well wishers and fans. It was hard to greet them back individually hence she posted a common wish on her social profile and locked her phone screen again as she neared the living room."Mumma?" Eleanor's voice broke the conversation between Caroline Knight and Rose as she entered the Knight Mansion, surprised to see her mother there.Rose turned her attention to her daughter, a warm smile spreading across her face. "Eleanor!" she exclaimed, rising from the couch to envelop her daughter in a hug. "Happy Christmas."Returning the hug, Eleanor rec

    15 MINUTES TO NOON“I want to play too.. apply the color on you… mumma and… maybe even Aurora” Eleanor told Avery.As laughter echoed through the garden area of Knight Mansion, vibrant colors danced in the air, carried by the playful splashes of water. It was a scene of joy and camaraderie as friends gathered to celebrate amidst the lush greenery and blooming flowers.Eleanor's eyes sparkled with excitement as she watched the festivities unfold. She longed to join in, to immerse herself in the colorful chaos and feel the cool water against her skin. Turning to Avery with a mischievous grin, she expressed her desire to partake in the playful revelry."But you can't... not until Kayden colors you first," Avery gently reminded her, his voice tinged with amusement.Eleanor's smile faltered slightly as she considered Kayden's likely response. With her impending departure looming over their heads, she couldn't shake the feeling that he had more pressing matters to attend to than indulging i

    As Adam took the wine glass from Sebastian and gulped some, the atmosphere in the room shifted subtly, tension simmering just beneath the surface. Sebastian's expression remained unreadable as he watched Adam, his thoughts veiled behind a mask of indifference."I hope you remember our deal, Sebastian," Adam muttered, his voice low and tinged with a hint of urgency.Sebastian's brow furrowed in confusion. "Deal?" he repeated, feigning ignorance.But Adam wasn't fooled by Sebastian's facade. He knew that beneath the veneer of nonchalance lay a cunning mind, always calculating and scheming."Oh, come on. Don't play games with me," Adam retorted, his patience wearing thin. "I'm talking about me becoming the state CM."Sebastian's lips curled into a mocking smile, his amusement evident in the glint of his eyes. "What can I do about it?" he taunted, his tone dripping with sarcasm.The dismissive attitude grated on Adam's nerves, fueling the fire of his frustration. With a swift movement, he

    Sebastian returned back to his wife, Aurora, eager to spend some quality time with her after being away for a couple of hours. As he entered their cozy living room, he found her engrossed in a lively conversation over the phone. Her animated gestures and furrowed brows indicated that she was in the midst of a serious discussion."I am very upset with you, Paapa," she scolded, her voice tinged with disappointment. "How could you miss Christmas with me?"Sebastian approached her quietly, his heart sinking at the realization of his mistake. He circled his arms around his wife's waist, attempting to offer comfort as she continued to talk on the phone."What urgent work could possibly keep you away on Christmas?" Aurora's tone softened slightly, a hint of sadness creeping into her words. "You've barely been in town for the past two days. I've missed you terribly. What's been keeping you so busy?"Sebastian sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of guilt for neglecting his wife during such a speci

    Orlando. That’s where Patricia was. Kayden couldn’t believe how he missed tracing Christopher and Patricia there earlier. He had paid special spy teams to look for them in Orlando when he had got a hint they were there. But Christopher was too good to cover up his hiding all these months.Kayden felt the weight of the situation pressing down on him as Max's urgent voice broke the tense atmosphere of the drawing room. Patricia's distress call had thrown their plans into disarray, and now they were forced to act swiftly. He exchanged a quick glance with Caroline, her concern mirrored in her eyes, before turning his attention to Max."The choppers are on standby. We will have to make a move now," Max informed them, his tone betraying a sense of urgency.Kayden nodded, his mind already racing with thoughts of their next steps. But before he could take another breath, he was interrupted by Eleanor, her presence unexpected yet unwavering."I am coming along," she declared, her voice firm wi

    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.

    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

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.

    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

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?

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.
