It was 8 in the evening when Viaan walked to his personal elevator. Since the penthouse was just in the same building, it wouldn't take him much time to reach home. As soon as he stepped in, his phone vibrated with a phone call. Viaan pulled his phone out, punching the floor number with his left hand. A smile touched his lip as he saw Leena's name flashing on the phone.

"Hey, Maa. How are you?" He asked in a jovial tone, pressing the phone against his left ear.

"I'm good, son, you tell me? Are you still in the office?" Leena asked from the other end.

"No, Maa. In the elevator. Just left the office." He said and Leena shook her head. She just doesn't understand why he shifts to his penthouse whenever she is not home for some days. However, this time the reason was entirely different and Leena was completely oblivious to it. She took this shift as the usual one and that's why didn't question him from the start of her vacation.

"I'm glad you stopped working late." Leena sighed in conten

  • CEO's Hidden Marriage   What happened, Viaan?

    "Hey, how was your day?" Her chirpy voice brought a smile to his face.But the next moment, Leena's words echoed in his ears, and his smile faltered."Good. Yours?" He asked, avoiding meeting her eyes."A bit hectic, but not bad at least." Kiara exhaled a dramatic sigh."Hmm…" Humming plainly, Viaan walked to the sofa, keeping his bag on the table. Sparing a glance and little nod at her, he turned towards the refrigerator."You need something?" Kiara interrupted his silence, finding his activity rather strange."Water." As Viaan replied without looking at her, Kiara stood sticking to her place. "What happened?" The question left her mouth before she could even think of asking.Viaan, who was gulping the water from the bottle itself, stilled. His shoulders stiffened and he stopped pouring the water in his mouth. His throat bobbed up and down as he gulped the last sip. Suddenly the air felt heavy and oblivious to his state of mind, Kiara repeated her question."What happened, Viaan? Wh

    "Why are your eyes looking so sad, Viaan? What's the matter?" Concerns were all over her voice as she quizzed. She tried to comprehend the meaning of this hollowness of his eyes. Eventually, the man had to face it. Viaan gulped the heaviness clotted in his throat. He knew this would happen one day, but this soon; he hadn't predicted.Avoiding her eyes, he cleared his throat. "Kiara, there's… umm… this situation has come up…" Putting the pieces of words together, he contemplated how to tell her that he will not stay here after this week."What situation?" She frowned, brows knitted down in suspicion. "And why are you hesitating so much? Tell me what it is clear." She kept a hand over his, forcing him to look at her.As Viaan peeked into her puzzled eyes, all he could see was a great pool of worries swirling in them. These days, they have let their raw emotions come out freely in front of each other. And this he can read her eyes, just like she can.That's why he knew what was going to

    Viaan's penthouse:-"But, your shifting with me in the Villa will surely do, right?" Exclaimed Viaan, flashing a lopsided smirk.Kiara stared at him unblinkingly as soon as she heard what solution he found."This is the solution?" She mused, eyeing him with uncertainty."Yes!" Viaan nodded proudly, mentally patting himself to solve the issue with ease. But his bubble burst soon when Kiara fired her next question, that too, in a mocking tone."And what are you going to tell your mom? Why did you bring back the girl you were so adamant about throwing out and even did?" She cocked up one of her eyebrows and probed sarcastically. His mind was puzzled for a second. That question was genuine and he must have a solid reason to implement his plan. "I will…" Viaan started only to get interrupted by her."And also the girl whom you consider the world's biggest scammer and gold digger?" She flashed a tight-lipped smile, reminding him of his apathetic words. Even though she had decided not to br

  • CEO's Hidden Marriage   Charles Brown

    The usual calmness around the Brown Corporation's premises was disturbed by the sudden screeching of a bunch of black cars pulling over one by one. The building premises had a large main gate for the pedestrian entrance and two shutters on each side of the main entrance for two different parking spaces. However, the three entrances were at a distance of at least five feet grim each other. Such was the enormous dimension of the Brown Corporation's property.The two guards standing outside the main entrance had their eyes widened, resembling two big saucers when they recognized the cards and realized who was sitting inside one of those cars. Without wasting a second, the two guards stood at attention and saluted the man, even though he was sitting inside. A man came out of the second car and went to the guards. He said something to them, and the two security guards nodded, agreeing to his words silently. After that, one of them walked to the security room, which was just two feet awa

    “How would you deny the truth that this body of yours has my blood running in it? That your flesh and bone is the creation of Charles Brown? " Crossing his hands on his chest, Mr. Brown, raised his eyebrows, challenging and taunting him openly.The same taunts that he has given from Hunter’s childhood.“Shut up with your nonsense, Mr. Brown. Merely giving birth to a child doesn’t make one a father. It takes deep emotions and sacrifices to be a father.” Hunter spat, clenching his jaws. His blood boiled at the mention of being his blood again. Fury flowing out of his tone. “And I refuse to accept you as my father ever. You are just the man who brought me into this world but more than that I share nothing with you.” His tone came out harsh as he defended his grounds adamantly.No way in bloody hell will he let him claim the authority as a father over himself.“You do, my bratty son. You do. The blood in your veins is the proof that you got your entire existence because of me and thus you

    Morning time, same Wednesday:-It was 7:45 when Viaan's car was pulled over by the side of the road where the premises of the bus stop starts. "I'll text you in the afternoon about the time I get back home." Viaan said, hugging Kiara. He told that he will inform her about when he will be free, so that she could get ready by the time he comes back and then they would leave for the lounge."I'll be waiting." She said softly, receiving the warmth of his arms. They broke the hug and Viaan placed a kiss on her forehead and then a quick peck on her lips making his girl smile shyly. "Get used to it, Madam." He chuckled, looking at her flushed face. "Bye." Smiling, Kiara got out of the car as it was time for her bus. Ever since she shifted with Viaan, he used to drop her off at the bus stop in the morning. He had actually pestered her to let him drop her at her office but she refused stating she didn't want to draw unnecessary attention. Since then it's just the bus stop. However, due to

    The Life Hospital, 3 PM:-"I might come late tomorrow so make sure you schedule another doctor on round. At no cost, shall these routine checkups be missed." Ryan told the administrative staff, warning them to not make a mistake at any cost. Dr Ryan Carter had been known for his strictness, his punctuality, his mostly serious avtar and of course the magic in his hand as the top most neurologist in the City."Don't worry sir, we won't make any mistakes in your absence." The hospital staff assured him. Ryan nodded his head and walked out of the department when he received a text from Maya.*Since the lounge is close to the penthouse I was thinking if we could get there, get ready and then leave from there together.* Read the text.Ryan smiled and replied, while walking to his cabin.*Although it seems like a very good idea, madam officer, I am quite busy right now with some paperwork, so I don't think I can make it to the Penthouse first and then to the Lounge.

As soon as Viaan picked his phone up to call the man. They saw him coming towards their VIP cabin, holding the hand of a beautiful girl.Maya grinned like a kid getting his favorite toy when she saw Leo’s girlfriend finally.“Finally you brought her.” As expected, she was the first one to react. She jumped out of her seat in excitement. Leo looked at her with strange eyes, then chuckled. “Calm down, Maya. Instead of befriending, you are going to scare her.” Ryan held her as he too got up, along with Viaan and Kia."Hello, Rachel, I'm Maya." She extended her hand, and Rachel took it enthusiastically. "Hello, Maya. It's a pleasure to

    Writer’s POV:-Mr. Moore wiped the sweat off his forehead while waiting for the call to be received.“Hello!” The reply came as soon as the call was received.“I have done my work. Now give me my thing back!” He said over the call.“I am impressed with your quickness, Mr. Moore.” a masculine heavy voice was heard from the other side. “I thought you would still take a few more days. But no. You proved why this is priceless to you. Excellent, old man.” With a dark chuckle, the man added. The words were more like a mocking of Mr. Moore’s efforts, and that made the elderly man clench his fingers.Mr. Moore’s entire body shook with rage. At that moment, he wanted nothing but to thrash everything around. To get the man in a chokehold and punch him straight across the face for making him dance on his fingers. However, the helplessness of the situation had him holding from behind. He can’t act repulsive. Not at this stage when he is so close to the one thing that he has been finding for sever

    Viaan’s POV:-I helped Maa get down from the car, supporting her gently as she stepped onto the gravel path. As soon as her eyes fell on the scene in front of us, she froze. Her fingers tightened around my palm, clutching mine with a grip that spoke volumes.“Viaan, this…” She began, her voice trailing off as disbelief washed over her.Not believing what she saw, she was struggling to find the right set of words. Her lips wobbled putting an impromptu pause. She looked back at me, her gaze searching for confirmation, her body trembling slightly.That was my cue to confirm her doubts.With pride and emotions lacing my own voice, I squeezed her shoulders and nodded. “Paradis d’Amour, Maa. Our dream.” I announced, taking my mother in a half hug from sideways, holding onto her as tightly as I could.She averted her gaze back to the property. With a dip in her brows, she looked at me once again, “Huh?”I knew, I knew she was getting the meaning of my words but the yearning self of hers want

    Writer’s POV:-“Where are you taking us, Viaan? At least tell me now.” Leena asked for the nth time, getting annoyed at her son’s silence over the matter.Viaan, like the previous times, smiled mischievously and answered without looking back. “Patience, Maa, patience. You’ll come to know soon.”Leena scoffed audibly, narrowing her eyes at her son’s mischief, and scolded him lightly. “That ‘soon’ of yours has not come since the last three and a half hours of our journey. How long more would you keep it a secret?” Her eyes wrinkled at the corners while her nose flared in annoyance.Her anger didn’t seem to affect Viaan a bit as the man chuckled loudly. “As I said, it is a surprise, Maa. I’m not telling you to spoil the fun already.” He refused to reveal, making his mother smack his arms from the backseat.“You have become too naughty these days.” She said through her gritted teeth, only to get a burst of hearty laughter from her son.Huffing, she crossed her hands across her chest and s

    Writer’s POV:-“Thank you so much, Guys.” An emotional Viaan expressed his gratitude to the two of the constant pillars of his life.Receiving brotherly pats on his back as a response, he reluctantly broke the hug. His dull face was uplifted with the pure essence of their support throughout his life.“You —” Ryan started to speak, but then his eyes narrowed as he studied Viaan’s features more closely. “Were you crying, Viaan?” His eyes scanned Viaan’s face with concern.On cue, Leo also took a closer look. “Yeah, you look off!” He exclaimed, pointing out the obvious signs of distress.Viaan stilled. His smile dropped into a thin line. Immediately, he averted his eyes away from them and looked everywhere around.How come Ryan observed that? His shoulders tensed once again.“No. Why would I cry?” He chuckled nervously shrugging his shoulders, not wanting them to read his face further.“Then why are your eyes red and moist?” Ryan scoffed, narrowing his eyes. “Don’t lie through your teeth

    Back in the present time, The PenthouseViaan’s POV, :Looking at the keys, I fisted them tightly. I was in my penthouse where I had come just an hour ago to get freshened up. Last night, I had to lie to Kia and Maa as I had spent entire hours in planning for the surprise for Maa. Then this morning the leftover documentation took my time while I also went to check for last-minute preparations. I just happened to come here one hour ago as I can’t go directly to home. And as soon as I came here, the first thing I did was to call Maa. She deserves the surprise the most.All through this while, I also kept myself reassured that this was not a dream anymore but a reality.A beautiful reality.A certain kind of peace filled my heart. I felt the cores of my eyes moistening up. Our dream was finally completed.“Paradis d’Amour is finally ours, Papa. I completed your and Maa’s dreams.” My voice choked with emotions as I looked at the picture frame on my desk while placing the keys reverently b

    Writer’s POV:-“Did Viaan tell when will he come?” Leena asked Kiara who was serving her breakfast.Her hands stopped in the air and she raised her head to her mother-in-law. “No, Maa. He had just dropped the text last night that he wouldn’t be coming home tonight as he had an urgent meeting and some important work. So, he is perhaps staying at the penthouse itself.” Kiara sighed, continuing to fill Leena’s plate.Leena nodded recalling the text Kiara showed her last night. Viaan had specifically mentioned to tell Leena about it, he himself didn’t text her thinking she must be asleep by then.It was around eleven in the morning. Both the ladies were having a late breakfast today, as Kiara was nauseous and not feeling good this morning; thus she had delayed her meal.Although Leena had something light earlier as she had to have medicines as well, she still joined Kiara in the late meal.It was Leena’s assistance that she was even eating, lest she was all ready to ditch the breakfast to

    Writer’s POV:-“And the man said that Mr. Adams is ready to meet at the earliest possible date,” Daniel revealed, sounding serious and firm.Hunter sat straight with a jerk, his brows dipping in. “How come he agreed this early? Didn’t he and his lawyer want time?” The question triggered his mind, he inquired in a disbelieving tone.The frown went deeper on his face; his eyeballs moving constantly as he tried to figure out Viaan’s step. One thing was crystal clear neither Viaan nor his lawyer saw this proposal as a simple invitation to get rid of legal troubles. Hence it was very much acceptable for his rival to seek time to agree or even deny.That’s why, even when this frustrated Hunter, he was ready for any secret investigation Viaan did on him. But little did he expect, that his acceptance would come this early and fast.He heard Daniel huffing from the other end and came out of his thoughts. “I have no idea, Sir. But if they are ready then why not proceed? This was the plan after

    Writer’s POV:-“Kia, calm down. Ryan said that he won’t reveal anything to Viaan.” Sophie tried to calm her down, but the girl was far from calming down.A ready havoc was created in her mind and heart and she had no idea how to deal with it.“But he didn’t even give me any time, Soph. All he allowed me is tonight.” Kiara retorted, holding her breath in apprehension.She can hear her heart pounding in her ears, and sweat beads adorning her temples even after the decreased temperature of AC.Her words followed a silence before Sophie sighed audibly. “You have taken more than you should, Kia. You can’t avoid it any longer. Dr. Ryan was right when he said the more delay you are making the harder it would be to make Viaan understand.” Sophie indirectly quoted Ryan’s words from the last evening.“Out of all people, you should be understanding my dilemma, Soph.” Kiara clicked her tongue, getting annoyed at not finding any solution. “I didn’t wait for Tyler to just wake up, but I needed to k

    Writer’s POV:-“Not only this but also the fact that Aaron is Tyler and Sophie’s son!” Ryan’s voice was steady, but there was a hint of solemnity in his tone.As Ryan dropped the bombshell, Kiara and Sophie froze, their eyes widening in shock. The words hung in the air, heavy with the weight of the revelation.A revelation that Kiara least expected today.The room fell into a stunned silence. The only thing audible at that moment was the ticking of the clock and the lazy evening wind coming through the open windows of Ryan’s cabin.With a composed face, Ryan watched the two women in front of him, trying hard to digest the truth he just disclosed.He knew this was going to be their reaction once her tells them the truth, but still watching them doing so, made him amused.Did they really think they would keep this massive truth away from him?Did they seriously think he wasn’t going to find it out, ever?
