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 The Doctor diagnosed Caroline Knight who was still unconscious. Kayden, Aiden, Christopher and Sebastian Knight were standing at the corner, waiting for the Doctor to finish. Eleanor was the only one who stood by the bedside whereas Aurora took Patricia in the other room, not letting her take any stress of Caroline’s present condition.The doctor turned from his clipboard to address the Royal brothers, his expression grave. "It was a mild attack," he stated, his tone weighted with concern.Kayden's throat tightened with worry. "Is she okay now?" he ventured, his voice tinged with fear."We cannot ascertain her condition until she wakes up," the doctor explained, his words carrying a sense of urgency. "Continued stress could jeopardize her health, particularly her heart. I advise you all to focus on what brings her joy. At her age, a second attack, if it occurs, could be far more serious."Sebastian's disbelief was palpable as he exhaled heavily. "Should we consider
