Billionaire's Forced Bride: Dear Wife, You Can't Escape 66. Her care
Eleanor stood rooted to her spot. Kayden Knight was shot. Just this morning he was flirting with her during the ritual and now… he … he needed medical help. So much happened this morning. There was a shift in her feelings towards him in the past few hours. At first, she was annoyed by his audacity in completing their Royal tradition. She froze when he had applied color to her and kissed. Then she needed his help in tracing Patricia. She pleaded with him to take her along in this mission. She took his support during their ride to Orlando. She feared for his life when he was out there freeing Christopher from the goons. She was anxious for his return and when he came back, she was terrified knowing he was shot. All these mixed feelings churned in her body making her feel unusual… abnormal. She should be with him right now.As Patricia introduced Christopher to Eleanor, the tension in the room was palpable. Eleanor, still reeling from the events of the day, struggled to maintain a faca

KNIGHT MANSION Sebastian's voice thundered through the room, his anger palpable. "Christopher? Christopher was abducted?" His tone was accusatory, eyes blazing with fury. "Why wasn't I informed?"Caroline Knight, her expression grave, recounted the entire incident to Sebastian and Aurora following Kayden's urgent call. She spared no detail, determined to prepare them for Christopher's imminent return."Sebastian, everything unfolded so rapidly that Kayden simply didn't have a moment to reach out to you," Caroline explained, her voice tinged with frustration."Bullshit!" Sebastian's retort was sharp, cutting through the tension in the room. "This is exactly why I can't stand him. First, he stirs up trouble with his brothers, then he plays the martyr, trying to win back their sympathy by playing the hero.""Enough with the accusations, Sebastian!" Caroline's patience wore thin, her tone sharp. "And you should count your blessings that no one was harmed. Christopher and his wife are set

"Seems like you've got magical cushions in this house," she murmured, attempting to deflect his attention."Or maybe an angel came to rescue me at midnight. What do you think?" Kayden's words hung in the air, his gaze lingering on her face.Eleanor's heart skipped a beat at the unexpected compliment. Did he just call her an angel? For last night... she was... his disguised angel. She couldn't deny the warmth that spread through her at his words, but she pushed aside the conflicting emotions, determined to maintain her composure in the face of his charm.Before the conversation could drag, they heard Christopher and Max’s voices from the living room. Eleanor took the opportunity to exit the kitchen and Kayden unwillingly followed."There he is," Max pointed at Kayden. "How's your injury now?""It will be better. Don't bother," Kayden shrugged, his nonchalance belying the underlying tension. "Any word from the police?""Not yet. I'm just heading there now. I'll call you once I have some

"I have to handle this investigation personally," Kayden insisted, his tone resolute as he prepared to intervene in the police matter.Eleanor's brows furrowed in concern as she watched him, her worry evident in her eyes. "I know you don't trust people that easily, but they are police officials. They know their duties, and your presence wouldn't change anything except that you will completely neglect your health and worsen it."Kayden couldn't help but be taken aback by Eleanor's genuine concern for his well-being. Her words struck a chord within him, reminding him of the depth of her compassion and care."You're talking like a typical wife," he teased lightly, attempting to deflect the seriousness of the situation with humor.But Eleanor's expression remained somber, her gaze distant as she contemplated her next words. She didn't want to entertain any false hopes or illusions about their relationship. In fact, if the situation had been in her favor, she would have been in Paris, far

THE KNIGHT MANSIONCaroline hugged Christopher and cried her heart out. She had been all strong and unaffected all these years when Christopher cheated on their family business and parted his ways. But now that he was back, she couldn’t hold her tears. Her family, whose responsibility was bestowed on her by her husband, was partially getting back together again and she was thankful about it. Her four grandsons were like the four pillars of The Knight Mansion. Eleanor had never seen this side of Caroline Knight either. She pretended to be so heartless so far but today she was anything but cruel. After Christopher, Caroline glued her eyes on Patricia and then her small baby bump. Patricia bent down and took her blessings."God bless you both," Caroline said softly, her voice filled with relief and gratitude, as she leaned in to kiss Patricia's forehead. The weight of the recent events hung heavy in the air, but amidst the tension, there was a sense of comfort in knowing that Christophe

WATSON HOUSE Rose cried seeing Patricia back. Eleanor had informed her on call about Patricia’s return and also explained to her the reasons why she had to elope with Christopher. Rose was shocked and highly disappointed that her daughter could commit such a mistake. But the moment Eleanor and Patricia came home to meet her, Rose’s anger subsided. She hugged Patricia and cried her heart out.“Mom I am sorry” Patricia sobbed.“Why Patricia? Why didn’t you tell me anything?”As Patricia sobbed and apologized to her mother, Eleanor's heart raced with anticipation. Adam Watson, now informed about the drama, emerged, and Eleanor braced herself for his reaction. She wondered if he would be pleased that his elder daughter had married into royalty or if he would continue to blame her for the troubles she had caused.Eleanor became alert. She had no clue how her father would react. Adam's applause startled everyone. "I cannot believe you even got the guts to come here and meet us," he remar
Billionaire's Forced Bride: Dear Wife, You Can't Escape 72. Never letting you go
Caroline was impressed seeing Patricia and Eleanor effortlessly maneuvering around the kitchen, their synchronized movements and laughter filling the room with warmth. It was a stark contrast to Aurora, who seemed more at home with a book in hand than a spatula.As the lunch was served, Caroline couldn't contain her excitement, eager to taste the fruits of her daughters-in-law's labor. She savored each dish, her taste buds dancing with delight, and her heart swelling with pride at their culinary prowess.“You girls really cook well. I didn’t know that,” Caroline exclaimed, her eyes shining with admiration.However, amidst the praise, there was a shadow of discontentment lurking in the corner. Aurora, usually indifferent to domestic duties, couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as Patricia and Eleanor basked in the glory of their culinary achievements.Aurora's unease didn't go unnoticed by Caroline, who, ever the matriarch, sensed the brewing tension and decided to ease it with a

Kayden hadn't even composed from the argument with his wife over their marriage, that Caroline called him to talk privately in her room. He knew she was still upset with his decision on letting Eleanor work.“What has happened to you Kayden? I have never seen you flouting royal culture. A Royal’s wife is supposed to look after the family. Even then I am letting Eleanor work because she wants to. But modeling? Never. If she wishes to keep herself occupied, offer her to assist you and Christopher in the family business.”Kayden rubbed his temple briskly."Grandma, I have made up my mind already. Eleanor is going to continue modeling until she wants," Kayden asserted, his voice firm as he addressed his grandmother, Caroline.Caroline's response was measured, her expression betraying a hint of skepticism as she mulled over Kayden's declaration. "I see," she muttered, her tone laced with disapproval. "She has totally brainwashed you."Kayden bristled at Caroline's insinuation, his defenses

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
Billionaire's Forced Bride: Dear Wife, You Can't Escape 108. The ritual
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
Billionaire's Forced Bride: Dear Wife, You Can't Escape 107. Teaming up
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
