Writer’s POV:-

Leena’s eyes narrowed, her gaze piercing as she regarded them both with contempt. “Intentions mean nothing when actions speak louder than words,” she declared. “You have both shown a blatant disregard for the trust placed in you as shareholders of this company.” She drew in a sharp breath, her chest heaving with fury as she watched Jerry and Linda audaciously attempt to lecture her about the company’s laws and rules, all the while knowing full well they were the culprits responsible for the deceit and betrayal that had been revealed.

“This is unfair, Madam. Our removal is unfair. We accept that we shouldn’t have met Mr. Russo privately but we are still not that much guilty because we did not sell our shares. We deserve to remain the shareholders that we have been for the past decade,” Jerry protested, his voice charged with a delusional energy as he attempted to convince the chairman.

Linda on cue, shook her head vigorously and stuttered while trying to take a defense f

    Adams Corps:-“You okay, Maa?” Viaan asked, keeping a hand on her shoulder. Leena nodded after heaving a sigh, then ran a hand over her face. She inhaled deeply, recalling how come the oldest of associates had the intention to betray them just for a larger amount of money and perhaps a greed of much more than money. Whatever it was, it was the height of preposterous.Was their relationship of all these years valued at zero in their eyes?Was the entrepreneurial bond of all these years so weak that not once did they think before going behind the company’s back? And with the same person who was the cause of chaos in the company right now. With whom the CEO himself has expressed clear sourness!Didn’t for once this thought knock Jerry and Linda’s minds or those six shareholders’ minds that it was Adams Corps only that had given them more than a hundred percent of their original value?Had they forgotten all the company had done for them going beyond professional association?

    Adams Villa:-“I still don’t understand what was the need to go there. You could have asked Viaan or Leo about the meeting.” Samantha’s scolding words echoed in the living room, her frustration palpable as she addressed Leena’s impulsive decision. Leena, however, responded with a playful pout, her lips down-turned in a mock expression of innocence.James sighed heavily, the weight of disappointment evident in his voice as he turned off the blood pressure machine. “I told you not to take stress, Leena. This is not good,” he admonished gently, his concern for her well-being shining through.He put the machine back in the bag and took the seat on the side couch to the ladies. Eyeing the contents of his bag, he fetched out his notepad and pen.All this while, Viaan, who was standing beside Leena’s sofa, shared a nervous look with his wife, who was standing beside him. His forehead creased with worry, the frown deepening as James let out another sigh, his head shaking in a solemn manner as

    Kiara’s POV:-Uncle James handed over the paper with the prescription to Viaan, and I couldn’t help but notice the slight tremble in my husband’s hand as he took it. It was as if he was clutching onto it for dear life, his grasp tight with fear and uncertainty.My heart squeezed painfully in my chest at the sight of his silent vulnerability. Seeing Viaan like this, so consumed by worry and fear, tore at my soul. I never wanted to witness him in such a state, but the circumstances often pushed us to our limits.“Sam, Kia, take Leena inside. She needs rest.” My thoughts broke with Uncle’s words. His concern was evident in his voice.I nodded in agreement and approached Maa, extending a hand to help her stand. “Come on, Maa. Let’s get you settled,” I said gently, offering her a reassuring smile.Maa, however, was having none of it. “That is definitely not needed, James. I am perfectly fine,” she objected, her voice tinged with annoyance as she stubbornly tried to resist.I couldn’t help

    Mr. Russo’s Farmhouse:-Hunter hurriedly made his way through the doorway of Mr. Russo’s farmhouse, checking the time on his wristwatch as he went. He cursed inwardly at the traffic that had slowed him down, hoping he hadn’t arrived too late. As he entered the living room, he heard Mr. Russo’s voice, thick with anger.“I’m done playing this cat-and-mouse game with Viaan Adams,” Mr. Russo declared, his frustration evident. “After the humiliation he inflicted upon me, I refuse to cower in the shadows any longer. Hence, I’m going to step into that rascal Viaan’s territory and join the next board meeting of Adams Corps; playing this from the front now.”Hunter’s eyebrows furrowed in concern as he approached, interrupting Mr. Russo and Evelyn’s conversation. “What made you reach this decision, Mr. Russo?” he asked, his voice tinged with skepticism. “We already have a plan ready at hand. Why do you want to reshuffle it and go there already?”Mr. Russo and Evelyn jerked their heads toward th

    Viaan’s POV:-“Sleep tight, Mamma!” I whispered, leaning down to kiss her forehead gently. She looked so peaceful in her sleep, and I couldn’t help but feel a surge of love and protectiveness for her.I pulled the comforter over Maa’s sleeping figure and tiptoed out of her room, closing the door softly behind me. A deep sigh escaped my lips, and I rubbed my face with a firm hand. It had been a long day, and seeing Maa’s health deteriorate was always tough on me. I checked the time it was ten in the evening.We had a late dinner tonight and after that, I and Kiara stayed in Maa’s room talking with her after giving the medicines. Today has been a tough day for her health and I didn’t want her to stress anymore thus I didn’t go back to the office after that. The important meetings that I had lined up, I attended from my home office while Kia kept Maa company and when I was done we had a family dinner with all the jokes and light conversations to make Maa feel happy.We shared stories, mo

    Writer’s POV:-“So, what’s the plan now?” Staring at her husband, Kiara asked, referring to the turmoil in the company. Her hands slowly touched his chest, placing her palm flat just above his heart. She tried to be as polite as she could get so that her words didn’t trouble him. “What are you going to do with Mr. Russo? Because, as far as I can guess, Hunter won’t involve a weak player.” Licking her dried lips, she added, consciously. Her tone was a mix of curiosity and concern.At no cost, she would not want her husband to ever get defeated in any kind of situation. Then this was a whole fucking war in his professional life.The question lingered in the air, pregnant with anticipation, as Kiara’s eyes probed Viaan’s face for answers. A few seconds passed with the husband and wife staring into each other’s eyes silently.One has a deep curiosity, but another has his eyes totally blank in this regard until she saw something changing his entire body language.

She had gotten an email from Charles’ PA stating that today was her leave ordered by Charles and she must wait for him to contact her before resuming the office.The email had caused an unwanted and unexpected stir in the Hunter's house as the three of them couldn't decide the real motive behind this sudden leave. “What's most troublesome is, even Alex can't get a sniff of his planning.” Hunter sighed, taking a bite of his toast.Jenny clicked her tongue, staring helplessly at her children. “He is doing all that he had threatened me with. First Hunter's now he is troubling Natasha's life.” she lamented, through her gritted teeth. Her gaze turned hard and fingers balled up into fists over the table. “All that rascal wants is to control everyone's life.” Natasha and Hunter’s eyes snapped towards her with the speed of light and they stared at their mother with

    Writer’s POV:-Adams Villa:She gestured to him, ‘What?’ with a lift of her brows and jutting her chin, but the man remained expressionless.He resumed the call for another five minutes but didn’t leave her hand, not letting her walk away. Sighing softly, Kiara waited patiently for her husband to finish the call.“Yes. Yes. That would be better.” Viaan nodded his head, keenly hearing the words from the other side of the call. Along with that, he tugged on Kiara’s wrist and pulled her close to him, wrapping his arms around her waist.A thin layer of confusion swept over the lady’s face. She blinked, her eyes oblivious, staring at his face. Not getting his actions, she tried to make eye contact with him, but Viaan was answering some questions to the person over the call, thus he didn’t notice her attempts to catch his attention.His gaze darted around the room; between the spaces and furniture of the room–in short everywhere except her wife, whom he stopped from going and didn’t even sp

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

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?
