Billionaire's Forced Bride: Dear Wife, You Can't Escape 77. Aurora's wish
The temporary rental apartment in Paris welcomed Eleanor with a familiar embrace, its cozy interior a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city outside. As Millie, her loyal assistant, helped her settle down the luggage, Eleanor couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her, grateful for the familiar surroundings that provided a semblance of stability amidst the chaos of her hectic schedule.“Ma’am, we have an early morning shoot tomorrow. So, I will pick you up by 06:00,” Millie informed her, her voice tinged with efficiency as she laid out the plan for the following day.“I will be ready,” Eleanor replied with a nod, her mind already racing with the preparations she needed to make for the shoot.“What about your dinner, Ma’am? You want me to order?” Millie inquired, her concern for Eleanor's well-being evident in the gentle tone of her voice.“I will order something, thanks, Millie,” Eleanor assured her, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips as she appreciate

The early morning shoot had gone smoothly, the golden hues of dawn casting a soft glow over the set as Eleanor retreated to her vanity van to unwind after a long day's work. But her moment of respite was short-lived as she noticed a plethora of bouquets adorning the interior of her sanctuary on wheels."Millie," she called out, her curiosity piqued as she ventured further into the van.“Yes, Ma’am?” Millie's voice floated through the air, tinged with a hint of excitement.“What is all this? Who sent all these flowers?” Eleanor inquired, her brow furrowing with confusion as she surveyed the lavish display before her.Millie's cheeks flushed with a rosy hue as she responded, her eyes sparkling with mischief.“Come on, Ma’am. You can guess it easily,” she teased, a knowing smile playing at the corners of her lips.Eleanor's mind raced as she sifted through the possibilities, her thoughts settling on one name in particular.“Kayden?” she ventured, her voice tinged with uncertainty.Millie

That whole night Eleanor kept thinking about Aiden and why he was here in Paris and not with his family at the Knight mansion. The only person right now who could sort some of her confusion was Millie. After meeting Aiden today, Eleanor had asked Millie to find out more about him through people of the film fraternity. Someone had to know something about him. She was desperately waiting for Millie’s call and when it rang on her phone, she almost jumped from the bed to answer.“Millie.. please tell me you have found something”Millie sighed.“Not very much Ma’am. Except that he has worked on two more web series projects before signing this one with Mr William. No one knows anything about him. Everywhere he has mentioned only his first name. There is nothing else mentioned about him. I have tried. Still I have trace some more information”Eleanor groaned in disbelief. He was purposely hiding. She knew it. But why? And did he not recognize her? He must have known she is married to his br

Eleanor stood before Aiden, her gaze fixed on the small scar etched into his forehead. It was a subtle reminder of the accident he had mentioned, a detail that piqued her curiosity and fueled her determination to uncover the truth.“Hi,” she greeted him, her voice steady despite the flutter of nerves in her stomach.Aiden glanced up from his conversation with the cinematographer, surprise flickering in his eyes at the unexpected interruption.“Hey... I didn’t know you were coming here again. But Jack Sir is not present. You will have to meet him at his home or office,” Aiden replied, his tone casual yet tinged with curiosity.“I am not here to meet Jack. I came here to see you,” Eleanor stated firmly, her gaze unwavering as she met Aiden's eyes.“Me?” Aiden chuckled, his confusion evident as he shifted his attention fully to Eleanor. “I didn’t understand.”Eleanor took a deep breath, steeling herself for the conversation ahead.“Aiden... what's this scar about?” she asked, reaching ou

SAME EVENINGAiden's focus shifted from the chessboard as the doorbell chimed persistently through the spacious apartment, its echoes bouncing off the walls adorned with framed memories and quirky posters. With a heavy sigh, he reluctantly rose from his seat amidst the hushed murmurs of his roommates engaged in their own activities scattered around the room. His footsteps echoed softly on the polished hardwood floor as he made his way to the door, the anticipation of interruption evident in the furrow of his brow.Opening the door, Aiden's expression soured at the unexpected sight of Eleanor Knight standing poised on the threshold, her presence casting an unwelcome shadow in the comfort of his sanctuary."You? What are you doing here?" Aiden's voice carried a hint of irritation, his eyes narrowing as he regarded her with wary suspicion.Eleanor, unfazed by his reception, met his scowl with a calm demeanor, her posture radiating an air of graceful confidence. "Can I come inside?" she i

THE KNIGHT MANSION "Eleanor is not coming," Kayden informed his grandmother, his tone weighed down by a sense of disappointment as he delivered the news."She is not coming?" Caroline's voice rang with incredulity, her eyes narrowing in concern as she processed the information. "Kayden, have you forgotten everything?" she chided gently, her words laced with a hint of reproach. "It's the rule of this family to stay united in every ritual, function, and tradition. She is not just your wife but the eldest bahu of this family. How can she skip such an important ritual?"Kayden felt a pang of guilt gnaw at his conscience as he listened to Caroline's impassioned plea. He knew she was right. The bonds of family and tradition were sacrosanct, woven into the fabric of their collective identity as members of the illustrious Knight clan.But despite his deep-seated respect for tradition, Kayden couldn't shake the nagging doubt that lingered in the recesses of his mind. Eleanor's career aspirati

“Sorry” Jane Doe collected the fallen flowers, her hands were still shaking. She picked the Thali and returned back to the kitchen. Her heart raced. The past 2 years of her life had been the most difficult ones. She had cried for months after his death, even tried to end her life. She had cursed Kayden Knight for saving her that day and even vowed to ruin his Royal family for snatching her love. But today after seeing Aiden alive, she couldn’t thank God enough to keep him safe all these years. That’s it. She removed her hair covering her face. No more pretense, no more hiding. Aiden was here and she couldn’t wait to be in his arms again. But will he remember her? When he couldn’t recall his own family, how would he recognize her?“Jane Doe” Patricia called out and before anyone would notice her face, she covered her head with the hair again.“Yeah” she turned around.“Go and inform the other maids to clean Aiden’s room” Patricia commanded.She plainly nodded and slipped out of the ro

Kayden's voice was soft, filled with genuine appreciation, resonating through the cozy living room adorned with warm hues and soft furnishings. "Whatever you did today for me... for this family... shows your commitment, Eleanor," he expressed, his eyes reflecting gratitude as they gazed at her. Destiny seemed to have orchestrated their paths, but Eleanor's actions had solidified their bond, bringing Aiden into their fold. "You have no idea what you have given me today... what you have given this family today."Eleanor's throat tightened at the unexpected flood of gratitude, her pulse quickening in response to the intensity of Kayden's words. "And I thought you were a man of few words," she teased, her voice laced with affection as she leaned slightly closer, a playful smile dancing on her lips.He paused, a memory surfacing in the tranquil atmosphere of their shared space. "You had auditions today, didn’t you?" Kayden inquired, his voice carrying a note of concern mingled with curiosi

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
