The Grand Empire Hall:-

Fixing his hard gaze on Viaan, the stranger's eyes bore into his target with unwavering determination. "Respected people," he began, his voice resonating with a mixture of hatred and anguish, "my name is Thomas Jones, and I stand here tonight to expose the truth about Viaan Adams, a man who hides behind his success while perpetrating heinous acts. The man who is sitting here pridefully is actually an abuser-a molester." His menacing tone made everyone gasp in the hall. He glared at Viaan and ground his teeth.

His words hung in the air, piercing through the atmosphere with their gravity. Gasps filled the hall, each individual reeling from the shocking revelation. All eyes turned to Viaan, whose expression shifted from confidence to a mix of disbelief and anger. Mr. Murphy, too, wore a look of confusion mingled with annoyance as he sought clarification.

“What? What do you mean? Say clearly? How can you preposterously claim something so unreputable about a presti

    The Grand Empire Hall:-“I have evidence to prove my allegations.” His tone was laced with a challenging manner, and he looked at Neil. Viaan felt a tug in the pit of his stomach. His heart pounded in his chest, fear gripping him like icy claws. A cold sweat formed on his brow, and his hands trembled involuntarily. This was his worst nightmare unfolding before his eyes, a damning accusation that threatened to unravel everything he had built.The same was Kiara's condition who was, till now, trying to grasp the change in the situation. Her mind had still not registered how come the man she disliked the most was standing over there.So fast!So unseen!She was sitting there with her eyes widened like saucers and her mouth hung open in the uttermost shock. Her mind raced, desperately trying to process the sudden turn of events. The shock reverberated through her body, leaving her frozen in her seat. It was as if time had come to a standstill, and she found herself trapped in a nightmari

    The Grand Empire Hall:-“Yes, the marriage license of Mr. Viaan Adams and my daughter.” Viaan closed his eyes and Kiara covered her mouth, seeing their dreadful moment coming alive. However, while the two couldn’t help but get shocked and tense, there was someone in the dim light of the hall, smirking at the success of his plan. Hunter picked up the glass of water in front of him and sipped it deliberately to hide the protruding smirk. He still needs to act shocked. Keeping his eyes on the table and getting benefitted from the dimmed light around his table, he let out a small smirk before pulling in a poker expression once again.Hunter kept the glass down and leaned on the back of the chair, crossing his hands on his chest. His dark eyes were fixated on the stage.Meanwhile, Alex, who was in shock like everybody else, was noticing his boss's expression. He frowned at the ease Hunter sat with. An obvious doubt bamboozled his mind. Clearing his throat, he leaned to Hunter's side and w

    The Grand Empire Hall:-"I'm sure the department would have provided you with a hard copy as well. Why aren't you showing them?" Mr. Murphy grumbled, his frustration evident as he confronted Thomas about his lack of supporting evidence. His voice only got stricter seeing Thomas getting uncomfortable at his question.As Mr. Murphy threw a questioning glance at Viaan, he was taken aback by the silent composure on his face. It was a disconcerting sight, leaving Mr. Murphy puzzled. The profound calmness emanating from Viaan could only mean one of two things: either he possessed concrete evidence to refute the allegations and was confident in his defense, or he was utterly defenseless, validating Thomas's claims.Uncertainty clouded Mr. Murphy's thoughts as he grappled with the possible scenarios. Of the two scenarios, Mr. Murphy fervently hoped for the former, as it was inconceivable for a respected business tycoon like Viaan Adams to be involved in such misconduct.His train of thought w

    “Ladies and gentlemen, we are deeply sorry for the inconvenience caused abruptly, but the event needs to be paused for some time. With some claims as big as this incident, it is now a question of not only Mr. Adams’s reputation but it is directly associated with the organization’s prestige, too. Hence, we need to check the authenticity of the documents produced before us. So, I would request and appreciate your patience for some time.”“It’s all finished, Leo!” Viaan murmured, leaving a defeated sigh. His shoulders slumped in defeat. His eyes dimmed at the possibility of not being able to counter the claims now. They had their eyes fixated on the Chief of the organization who just ordered the volume of microphones to be put off. He also ordered staff to ask the media to stop live coverage for the sake of privacy, as it already had been too humiliating for the organization till now. The lights of the stage dimmed as Mr. Murphy walked off stage with Ricky and Thomas.Feeling a heavy kn

His trembling voice painted a vivid picture of the urgency and fear that gripped the situation.Kiara felt a jolt run through her body, her heart skipping a beat in response. A wave of worry crashed over her, flooding her mind with a torrent of thoughts and concerns."What? H-how?" Kiara choked, shockingly to Peter’s information. Her eyes widened, stunned. She didn’t realize how loud her voice resonated through the table, gaining the other three’s attention.“I don’t know. Ma’am. I had come to call her for dinner when I found her lying on the bed, clutching her chest. I and two other staff rushed her to the hospital. While they took her to the ER, I called Sir, but his phone was out of reach. I even called Leo, but he was also not responding. So, lastly, I thought to call you and inform you.” Peter said it all in a single breath, huffin

    Viaan's POV:-Nodding at Leo, I walked towards the back of the entry gate. When I reached the entrance, two staff members escorted me to the room where they were expecting me to come.“This way, Sir!” The staff members gestured for me to follow them, their hurried movements and panicked expressions reflecting the urgency of the situation. With each step I took, the images of potential humiliation played out in my mind, intensifying the pounding of my heart against my ribcage. My attempt to calm myself proved futile as the adrenaline surged through my veins, heightening my senses.As I entered the room, the air felt heavy with anticipation. The curious gazes of the assembled individuals bore into me, their eyes filled with questions yet to be asked. I maintained a blank expression on my face, but inside, my emotions roiled like a tempest. The room seemed to shrink around me as I confronted the unknown, bracing myself for the impending interrogation. The more I tried to calm myself, th

    Viaan's POV:-"Now, as you know Mr. Adams, we have this strict rule of transparency and by hiding your marital status you have broken this law. You acknowledge that?" Another jury said, making me nod silently."I do," That's it. That was the only admission from my side. Although I had facts in my defence, it all circles up to only one thing: why didn't I disclose my marital status? And I certainly have no defence reason for what I have done.I felt everyone's eyes on my face, questions swirling in them. Through my periphery, I saw the smirk on Thomas's face growing wide. This was probably the moment he had imagined while ruining my best day.Scratch that best part… It was now the worst day! As I was deep in my thoughts, I heard the chief clearing his throat. My eyes on reflex turned to him."In that case, Mr. Adams, would you tell us, why did you hide your marital status from the organisation?" Mr. Murphy asked in a stern voice. His gaze zeroing on my face, I can see the sheer disapp

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

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?
