CEO's Hidden Marriage Trouble
Adams’ Corps:-Ryan's weary voice filled the air as he spoke into his phone, his hand rubbing his tired eyes. The day had taken a toll on him, leaving exhausted lines etched across his worn-out face. From Tyler's emergency checkup to Leena's discharge, he had faced a relentless stream of physical and mental challenges. However, the day was far from over as a new challenge emerged when he found himself rushing to Viaan's office."You guys have dinner. We’ll be late," he sighed, the weariness evident in his words.As Maya called for the nth time, seeking information about their whereabouts, she was met with a vague response. "A bit more later," Ryan's words hung in the air, leaving Maya increasingly agitated."Again late? Have you seen the time, Ryan? Everyone’s now freaking the hell out. Especially Aunty. Viaan is not receiving her calls, and we can’t keep pretending oblivious any longer." Maya's voice carried a sense of urgency and frustration.The tension was palpable in the air. Rya
CEO's Hidden Marriage Plan
City outskirt, a private farmhouse:-The night enveloped itself in a mysterious veil, illuminated by a dim, cloudy radiance. The air, colder than the preceding days, nipped at Hunter's skin as he emerged from the car. A subtle yet brisk breeze rustled through, prompting him to adjust his blazer with precision.Locking his car, he surveyed the serene surroundings, confirming the absence of any other souls in sight. Making sure he was the lone ranger in the vicinity, he strolled towards the entrance of the farmhouse. The sturdy boots resonated with a rhythmic clicking as Hunter ascended the wooden verandah, the aging planks protesting softly beneath his weight. With his mind on an alert, he once again looked around subtly and then knocked on the vintage-styled wooden door. A few seconds passed in patience. The man checked the time on his watch as he waited on the threshold. Soon a faint chapping sound perked up his ears, and he stood with the utmost attention on the ruffling sound of t
CEO's Hidden Marriage Best Ally
Mr. Russo smiled at him, shaking his head, and sipped on his drink. “That’s okay. The weather is not very good tonight, and I somewhere guessed you will be late.” Hunter hummed before coming to the point he came here for. “Thank you so much, Mr. Russo, for executing our plan!” A cunning smirk curled his lips. Flames of revenge ignited in his dark eyes. “I can never forget this favor from you!” Gratitude was layered in his words, but beneath that veneer, a burning desire for retribution simmered.“You realize, Hunter, I’m not the real deserving person for this gratitude. If anything I have done half of what you are accrediting me of. And honestly, the way she manipulated the shareholders I’ve started to doubt my business skills. ” Mr. Russo chuckled as he remembered how they managed to get this whole thing and in return, Hunter, with a sly grin on his face, nodded appreciatively at Mr. Russo's words. “Indeed, she turned out to be the best ally I can have.” The dim light of the room r
CEO's Hidden Marriage Excuse
Writer’s POV:-“You’re sure there’s nothing more than this? I feel there’s something still stressing you out.” Leena caressed Viaan’s face, lovingly looking at him. His head rested in her lap and she was caressing his hair like the older times.But the silence on his face was not like the usual times. It was not a peaceful silence. It was tense. It was… defeated?At first, she thought it was tiredness. Perhaps the meeting didn’t go well. But, no. That was not the case, she realized. Her concerned eyes were stuck on the stressed lines spread over Viaan’s forehead. His always squared shoulders were slumped hopelessly. His weary eyes didn’t have that shine and fire in them, and his chapped lips barely curled into an honest smile since the time he stepped into the room.Viaan looked defeated instead of tired. And all the analysis broke the mother’s heart. No mother would want to see her child sitting defeated before her. Viaan, despite his eyes closed, knew what his mother was searching
CEO's Hidden Marriage Not fair
“Viaan, the dinner is getting cold.” Their mother-son moment was broken by Maya’s voice. Startled, they snapped their heads in that direction and their Maya stood with Kiara on the threshold. The latter had a nervous smile on her lips, while she let Maya do the speaking.It was more than half an hour since they were waiting for Viaan at the dinner table. When Viaan came back from freshening up, they were ready to serve dinner. But as they expected, Viaan asked them to wait as he wanted to meet Leena first. Now, when Viaan was late at the table, Kiara got worried for both the mother and son as she dreaded that Leena might have learned about the new trouble Viaan was dealing with. She turned to Maya for help and they decided the best thing was to go to Leena’s room and check what was happening. However, when they heard the exchange between the mother and the son while Viaan’s head was in her lap, and then when he got up to make her trust his words, they realized how hard it is for Via
CEO's Hidden Marriage Thanking her
Adams Villa:-“And yes, don’t forget about the punishment. You two can’t stay or sleep in the same room.” She added, biting her cheek in mischief.Viaan gasped loudly as he was reminded of that. “Maa, that’s not fair,” he whined like Leena expected. “Why so? I think I made it clear that day only,” Leena teased, suppressing the smile that threatened to appear on her face. Viaan, not catching onto his mother's playful tone, made a face. Meanwhile, the two ladies, Kiara and Maya, exchanged subtle glances, recognizing the mischief gleaming in Leena’s eyes. Kiara gasped inaudibly, then pursed her lips immediately, as Maya subtly signaled her to keep quiet and savor the amusing scene. Even Maya, herself, held back a giggle, enjoying the playful banter.“Maa, please don’t do this. I already apologized, right?” Viaan tried to pacify her, a hint of worry creeping into his voice. He was already stressing over the thought that his mother might actually enforce the punishment.Until now, during
CEO's Hidden Marriage Struck at the heart of his power
“Thanks for your understanding. Now you were saying something, Mr. Brown?” Taking a sip of her wine, Evelyn looked at Hunter.“That I can’t thank you in enough words, Miss Evelyn. Had you not helped me, I would never have got the chance to strip Viaan of his ego.” Hunter’s words hung in the air for quite some moment when Mr. Russo raised a question.“I still didn’t understand how you two joined hands. I mean as far as I remember you were pretty much interested in Viaan Adams, then what made you associate Hunter in his plan.” Asking so, he looked at the two people in front of him and silently sipped on his wine, waiting for the answer.Evelyn chugged down a large portion, she couldn’t help but smile at the evil camaraderie that had developed between them because of having the same motive. It was born out of a mutual desire to bring down Viaan's empire. They reminisced about the inception of their alliance, and how their paths crossed with a shared goal.“That indeed is an interesting
CEO's Hidden Marriage Headache

Another storm hits.Today's debacle, the betrayal from my most trusted guys, was a wake-up call.

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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Now give my thing back
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Our dream
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Dramatic narration
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Neil spilled the bean already?
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Paradis d'Amour was finally mine!
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Influence
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Time
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage The time has come, Kiara
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? He was a doctor, for God’s sake. It was impossible for this truth to be a secret fr
