CEO's Hidden Marriage Forgive Viaan
Kiara’s POV:-Tears welled up in my eyes, and my heart overflowed with emotion as I spoke the word once more. "Maa," it quivered on my lips, carrying with it all the complexities of our relationship and the challenges we had faced. “Yes, that is what you are supposed to call me from now on, Kia. Ever since I met you, I saw a daughter in you. Despite being oblivious to our real relationship, my heart felt this connection with you. Although I can’t get you to call address me as your mother. But now that I know the truth; that you are actually my daughter-in-law, I don’t want you to address me like any random person. You are my daughter-in-law as well as my daughter. Thus, you must call me with the rightful name.” She said so warmly and conveniently that I felt a surge of emotions coursing through my overwhelming heart. Her words had the power to mend old wounds and build bridges. Her words wrapped around me like a comforting embrace.My earlier apprehensions vanished just like that. I
CEO's Hidden Marriage You love my son ?
Kiara’s POV:-"Maa, please forgive Viaan." I held her hands in mine, my voice laced with sincerity and a touch of trepidation. I could see the perplexed line creasing on her forehead as she met my gaze."Hnn?" Her response held a hint of surprise, as if she hadn't expected this plea.I moistened my dry lips, my grip on her hands tightening with determination. "I know you're angry at him for what he did to me, but I don’t blame him, Maa. No longer.”Her eyes bore into mine, searching for an explanation. "Why would you say that, Kia? You have every right to be mad at him. What Viaan did was inhumane, let alone gentlemanly behavior for his wife. He must understand the gravity of his misdeeds." Her tone carried a trace of anger, and it tugged at my heart. I felt both touched and conflicted by her thoughts. On one hand, I was overwhelmed by her support for me, and on the other, I grappled with the realization that she was chastising her son, my husband, for actions he had committed while
CEO's Hidden Marriage Harsh reaction
Writer’s POV:-Viaan had called the press conference today to answer all their questions. It had been pending since that day and now that he had sorted the matter with the protestors and the court had given them another date of hearing; he had plenty of things to share and make people in his favor. After all, he needs the faith of the masses the most at this moment.“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I believe you all know the purpose of this conference.” Viaan's eyes gleamed with determination as he cleared his throat, signaling the commencement of the conference. His usual spokesperson, Xavier, was conspicuously absent this time. This time, Viaan was taking charge himself.Reporters, armed with cameras and microphones, had congregated to scrutinize him on the ongoing controversy that had dominated the headlines for days.The mics from every single media agency put before him on the table and all technicalities were checked already. "We do," came the collective response from the
CEO's Hidden Marriage Her professionalism
Viaan’s POV:-“I had questioned her regarding this. But as I said professionalism, my wife very confidently stood her ground regarding this. She was appointed to a responsible post, and she was honest with her job since the start… since the time we two were not even cordial. So, I understood her point of being committed to her job, and keeping her work ethic unfazed by her personal life. Kiara told me that she had several projects under her that she can’t leave in the middle, just because we have conciliate. She was working hard for the company since the time we were not a thing properly, so obviously I had no other way to refute her. She was right at her point. So, despite my reluctance, I let the matter go, for my wife is her own person and she can make decisions for herself. I am not the one to force her on anything, especially something related to her professional life. It is hers to look out.” I looked at the reporter, giving him the befitting reply for his audacity. I couldn't
CEO's Hidden Marriage Bloody Buffoons
Viaan’s POV:-The question hung in the air, and I could feel all eyes on me, eager for answers. The viral recording had everyone on edge, clamoring for details about the protests and protesters. They wanted to know the truth, the ins and outs of it all.“As I mentioned the other day,” I began, feeling the weight of the moment, “what you heard was a manipulated half-truth. That recording did not show my full intentions, which were all about the welfare of my people, not causing them harm as it was made to seem.” I spoke directly to the cameras, knowing that this was the moment to set the record straight. Those who had doubted me, spread rumors about me, or tried to tarnish my reputation by amplifying that recording and the protests would now learn not to mess with Adams.I took a deep breath and continued, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the complete recording of what you heard.” I signaled Xavier, who was ready to play the recording as we had planned.My sharp-witted employee swiftly p
CEO's Hidden Marriage The chip
Writer’s POV:-Adams’ Corps:-"I don't care how you do it, George. I want this sorted near him within the next two days." Hunter had his finger pointed at the poor man who looked scared to his wits. “By hook or by crook, I want this fixed so close to Viaan Adams so that I could hear his words clearly.” Hunter kept a transparent box in front of him on the glass table. His eyes pointedly got back on George’s face.The latter shook his head apprehensively. A dread filled his chest… and unknown guilt gripped his heart learning about what Hunter wanted him to do. Sweat beads scattered on his forehead as he shifted his gaze between the transparent box and Hunter. “But it is wrong, Sir. Moreover, this will be a sin on my part. They have helped me when even you couldn’t do anything. I can’t just backstab them like this in return for their favor.” George said, gulping down. He was skeptical of what Hunter was ordering him. Wasn’t it backstabbing the man who helped save his daughter’s life?“
CEO's Hidden Marriage Vile
Hospital:-“I never understood why Hunter has this much hatred for Viaan, but what he did this time is sickest of all.” Leena clicked her tongue in distaste, hatred shining in her eyes as she looked at the TV screen.The screen had been broadcasting the live press conference by Viaan since the last hour, revealing the dirty play of Hunter Brown. Till now not only she but the entire country were aware of who provoked the mass protest in Viaan’s steel plant and who was the mastermind behind it. By playing the untampered recording at first, Viaan proved his vision for his employees, and then the video he presented before everyone left no stone unturned in knowing that Hunter was the one who deliberately made George fix the microchip in Viaan.While this was going on, Leo called Kiara and asked her to switch on the TV and look at what Viaan had to announce today and how he was going to reveal all his dirty game in front of everyone who had been targeting her for a while.As Viaan had prom
CEO's Hidden Marriage Scheming
Writer’s POV:-“Ma’am, it’s time for your walk,” a nurse said, coming towards Leena’s bed. She was accompanied by another one hot on her trail.While the two ladies were watching the live telecast, the nurse came and took Leena for a scheduled walk. Since she was in bed, immobile, for many days, the physiotherapist has suggested starting her physical exercise with a simple walk two times a day, at least for the next five days. Then only she can move on to the next physical exercise.Leena nodded with the help of Kiara and the two nurses. She then took baby steps as it was hard for her to make a grip on her feet after getting up from the coma. Kia was coming behind her as they reached the doorstep, but the nurse asked her to stay there as they were professionals and they could help Leena more than anyone else.“You can stay here, Miss. And don’t worry, we’ll take good care of Mrs. Adams while helping her.” She said politely, getting a reluctant nod from Kiara. That was, too, when Leena

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

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
