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

SAME NIGHTAiden was on call when Kayden stepped in his room.“I don’t know but can we please schedule this for next week? I .. I am really sick and… auditioning in this state will be ..” Aiden tried to convince the Production team to grant him a few more days off.He saw Kayden entering the room but didn’t disconnect the call. He continued speaking.“Yes, one week should do. Thanks, buddy.”Kayden waited for him to finish. Seeing his brother so engrossed in his work call and discussing some technical requirements for the shoot impressed Kayden. After a few minutes Aiden hung up.Kayden approached Aiden, a faint hope lingering in his heart as he glanced at his brother's indifferent expression. "I never thought you would make your career in direction," Kayden mentioned, trying to break the icy barrier between them.Aiden scoffed, his tone laced with bitterness. "I don’t think you ever cared to ask what our personal choices were. As far as I have read and heard about you, you seemed ver

NEXT MORNINGAiden rubbed his eyes wearily as he heard the door of his room creaking open. His brow furrowed in confusion when he saw Jane Doe, the mysterious woman who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, stepping inside with a tray of his morning coffee."How... how did you... come inside?" he demanded, his voice tinged with a mixture of surprise and frustration."You didn't lock the room," Jane Doe replied calmly, her demeanor unwavering as she placed the tray on the table with practiced ease.Aiden's mind raced with disbelief. He hadn't locked the room? How could he have overlooked such a simple task? His thoughts were interrupted as Jane Doe began pouring his coffee, her movements swift and efficient. He couldn't help but notice how she added sugar to the mug without even asking how much, a detail that sent a shiver of unease down his spine."How do you know I take two and a half spoons of sugar in my coffee?" he questioned, his voice laced with suspicion.Jane Doe froze, her c

When Eleanor woke up the next day, the first thing she saw was a red rose. Was she still dreaming? She opened her eyes to get a clear view of where she was when she saw the person holding the rose for her. Kayden Knight! And this was not a dream. She was in her bedroom, on the bed, with her royal husband sitting next to her and watching her sleep.“What do you think you are doing?” she snapped, clutching the sheets to cover herself.Kayden was bemused.“Why are you hiding yourself despite being fully clothed?” he asked back.Eleanor wanted to laugh at her reactions. That’s right. She was in her night suit then why did she pull the sheets?He stretched the rose towards her.“Good morning”Her brows twitched.“Morning” she smelled the rose.“We have a date tonight” he reminded again.All the laziness from her eyes was gone. She put the rose down.“Is this all to convince me for the date?”Kayden smirked.“I don’t think I need to convince you because you are going to run into my arms, ex

The whole day Eleanor was in a panic state. She wanted to talk to somebody about her botheration but Patricia was resting and it wasn’t good to disturb Patricia in her pregnancy state. Aiden was very much new to Eleanor and she couldn’t share her worries with him either. Talking to Aurora wouldn't do any good and Caroline was out of the question. The old woman was still recovering from her own health issues. Avery was the only one Eleanor could think of. Hence, she drove to Avery’s home. If everything had been normal today, Kayden Knight would have been home convincing her for their Date.Avery noticed the concerns on Eleanor’s face and realized she was here to talk. She immediately welcomed her inside and opened a packet of chips and a bottle of soft drink.“I haven’t seen him since morning” Eleanor admitted nervously to Avery who was busy eating the potato chips.“Maybe he has gone to make the Date arrangements”“I don’t know,” Eleanor sighed.“Call him up and check,” she suggested

"You don’t have to do this for me, you see," Kayden said with a playful glint in his eyes as he watched Eleanor serve him the food at the table. The aroma of the meal filled the room, mingling with the tension between them."Why?" Eleanor quirked an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips."Because you're a celebrity model," Kayden teased, his tone light but his gaze lingering on her."And a wife," Eleanor added, her own teasing smirk mirroring his.Kayden's brow twitched, a flicker of something passing through his eyes."You're taking your role quite seriously then," he remarked, taking the first morsel into his mouth and stealing a glance at Eleanor as she settled on the other side of the table."I don’t know why I am doing this," Eleanor admitted, her voice softer now, betraying a hint of vulnerability. "This is actually not my cup of tea... cooking, serving. I am not a wife material.""Are you trying to convince me of that or do you want me to praise you for your extra efforts?" Kayd

NEXT MORNINGWhen Eleanor woke up, he had left for the Hospital already. She had heard his faint voice in sleep an hour ago where he sounded frantic. Eleanor wanted to be awake and check upon him but she just couldn’t. Last night she couldn’t sleep well. Not after all that conversation she and Kayden had at the table when he dined. Plus, the flashes of her running into his arms played like 100 times in her head until she finally dozed off hardly two hours away from the morning sunshine. But now she had to wake up and check if the lead gave any clue of the person behind Christopher’s abduction. She typed him a message instead of making a call. Who knows how busy he would be at this hour. She didn’t want to take a chance to disturb him.‘Any luck with the lead?’She typed the message, hit send and waited for another few minutes on bed for his reply. When he didn’t, she brushed and showered and when she returned back, his reply was awaiting in her notifications.‘He died this morning’E

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
