“God, why is this time passing like a snail today?” It was not even two when Kiara impatiently glared at her watch.

She picked up her phone to check whether Viaan had sent a text or called her, which she might have missed. Finding none, her restlessness increased.

Nobody could tell that she was the same Kiara who hated the guts of Viaan. Ever since the time she had calculated some equation of what would have triggered Viaan’s anger in her case when he is the most lovable man to everyone else, his mind hadn’t sat quietly for a second.

Suddenly, she started looking at Viaan in a different light. If it all gets solved today, then she doesn’t have to worry about the kids or Heaven’s Abode or her house, which, for a fact, she knew Viaan has no massive interest in.

Until now, when Kiara was being forced to meet him, she felt like thrashing his face. But now that she herself wanted to meet him to clear up misunderstandings if any, she was just glancing at her watch every minute, unaware of t

    “Alright, you may go now!”Robin smiled at Kiara, taking the file from her hand. Today’s task was completed, and she came to his cabin to give him the file. The man was thoroughly surprised that she actually completed the task within a few hours. However, not doubting her talent, Robin knew she was a skillful girl and would soon prove to be the best asset of the company. That is why he had handled her the toughest accounts to date.It was 5:00 p.m. Kiara submitted the documents and hurriedly walked out of the office.The weather was stormy again today. As the clouds roared in the sky, Kia felt a bit of a strange feeling creeping into her heart.‘What’s this feeling, God? Please keep everything alright!’ She prayed, stroking her heart to ease the feeling.Watching the time, she hurried to reach the nearest bus stop so that she could reach Viaan’s penthouse in time. Though the man hadn’t called her yet. She wondered whether he would meet her or not, but recalling the last time, she knew

    As Viaan walked out, Kiara’s mind took her back to the horrific event that she faced a month ago. The same faces... The same boys... and the same near-death experience. Their touch on her skin was still giving her burns from that day, and now it happened again. Kiara closed her eyes and slipped inside the tub, letting the water sink into her and take her away from the pain. Going underwater, her mind replayed that evening.*Flashback*She shuddered more in fear when a sudden honking sound came from behind.Who could it be in such a place?Instinctively, she turned around, gulping the lump in her throat. Her hands clutched the metal handle of the trolley in a death grip. Sensing some danger, she prayed for her life all this while.Soon her blurry eyes landed on an open-roof jeep coming towards her. Forehead frowned, eyebrows pulled down in confusion.She blinked a few times to clear her vision before focusing on the sight again.The moment her mind registered the presence of some othe

  • CEO's Hidden Marriage   A month later!

    A month later:- Viaan reached his penthouse, and as soon as he stepped out of the car it started raining. Luckily, he was in the parking area so no chance of getting wet. He was more worried about the papers and his laptop which was in the bag he fetched out of the car. He pressed the button of elevator and waited for some minutes until the elevator came down. Getting into it, Viaan punched his floor number and took out his phone from his pocket. He turned it on and checked a few notifications. Finding nothing important, he canceled them all and kept the phone back in his pocket. He looked at his wristwatch which was showing the time 8:35 at night. The elevator made a ding sound as it reached his floor. Taking his laptop bag came out of it and proceeded towards his apartment taking out the keys. Opening the door he entered and like always took off his shoes and kept them in the shoe rack. He stepped inside, took off his coat, leaving himself just in shirt and pants, and washed h

  • CEO's Hidden Marriage   Am I so important to you?

    One month later:- Viaan’s POV:- Life is so unpredictable. You never know what is waiting for you on a new day or a new phase. I just never thought it would be so exciting to come home. I never thought I would look forward so eagerly to getting back home at the earliest. And, I surely never thought I would be feeling so crazy about a girl. A girl who is completely the opposite of me. On top of all this, I am actually amazed at how I talk so much with her considering I am a man of few words. I can’t speak more than required. I don’t like speaking much. So, what I often do is listen, observe and take action. That’s all! But, since the day Kiara and I expressed our liking towards each other, I have been talking more. It’s like I love hearing her voice and keep saying some or another thing to her. Somehow my heart feels the conversation must go on and on whenever we are together or alone. And, not to forget the extreme urge to touch and feel her every time whenever she is around me. E

    Writer’s POV:- “Am I so important to you?” She asked, looking at him with self-doubt shining in her eyes. Her eyes spoke volumes, and deep insecurity swirled in them. She licked her lips, feeling nervous about hearing his answer. Viaan stared at her anxious eyes, waiting for an answer. And they did not hide her apprehensions from him ever since he started reading them intently. “Did my actions not tell you yet?” He held her close, looked deep into her insecure eyes, and asked sincerely. Though he asked a question in return, he had no idea why she was so insecure every time these days. He was already regretting his initial behavior with her. Now that everything is going well, he doesn’t want anything to create more problems in their life. Two nights ago, when they kissed for the first time, Viaan had felt so special, as if he had got all the fortunes of his life. However, everything and every relationship had some flaws in it and the same was happening in their life. For a few day

    Library:- “I don’t get one thing. Robin Sir told me you are quite busy these days. Then how come you joined me here today?” She looked at him suspiciously, with her eyes squinted to a curved line. Yesterday, when Hunter had come to GRACE after a gap of two entire weeks, it elated him to meet Kiara. For the past two weeks, the man was extremely busy with the campaigns and some critical projects that had great importance for Brown Corporations. “Robin was right. I am busy, but as I always said, not for you, Pretty Lady. Besides, when you told me that you had planned to come here today, I couldn’t help but invite myself. This seemed a good break from the hectic schedule, plus I got to spend time with my special friend.” Said Hunter, bumping his shoulders with her. Kiara giggled, just like she always did after his playful actions. Hunter was again lost in her beautiful smile and chirpy aura. He couldn’t help but think how lucky he was to meet a pure soul like Kiara. Yesterday when he

    “Miss Evelyn is absolutely right. You guys don’t have to worry about cost but quality.” Viaan nodded, agreeing with Evelyn’s words. The lady grinned at his support, showing her teeth like a toddler.“Thank you so much, Sir! I’ll try my best to collect all the authentic products.” Daisy smiled at their words of motivation, whereas Neil had a scowl on his face. He pursed his lips in a straight line, noticing Evelyn’s extra sweet smile at Viaan. “Sure, now go and check whether everyone is done or not. We must leave now!” Viaan checked his watch, dismissing her. While Viaan was talking to Daisy, Neil didn’t turn his eyes away from Evelyn, who was staring at Viaan with dreamy eyes. However, luckily, his boss was not even looking at the woman. That made him breathe in relief. At least Viaan was not interested in that clingy woman who had left no chance of sticking uncomfortably to Viaan since the day Mr. Miller appointed her as the head interior designer on this project. She, along with he

    *Flashback continues*“I wish this all could be a nightmare and I wake up soon,” Kiara murmured, staring blankly at the ceiling.“Is my presence bothering you that much?” Viaan asked, hurt. His eyes did not leave her face for a second. She was lying there, pale and tired. The sight broke his heart. He just hates to see her so weak, and the fact that he was somewhere responsible for her condition lowered his gaze in shame.“Not me, but you. Aren’t you feeling suffocated to be with me in the same room, Mr. Adams?” Kiara turned her head to him and whispered. Her beautiful eyes were wet again. Those full lashes again felt heavy as she tried not to close them and shed tears.Viaan raised his chin up. His eyes had thousands of dilemmas in them. “Why would I feel suffocated?” his tone was as low as hers. Their eyes met for the first time since she woke up.“You have hated my guts since day one, remember? That is why you left me there on the deserted road, too!” She attacked her in a low ton

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.

    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

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.

    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?
