Kiara and Leena sat in Leena's room, a warm ambiance enveloping them as they shared stories and laughter. Leena, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, began recounting tales of Viaan's childhood antics."Oh, you wouldn't believe the things that boy used to do," Leena started, a playful smile on her face. "Even as a child, he had this determination, a stubbornness that would make you both proud and frustrated."Kiara chuckled, intrigued. "Tell me more, Maa. I'm all ears."Leena leaned back, lost in the memories. "Well, there was this one time when he decided he was going to build a rocket and fly to the moon. Mind you, he was about eight years old then."Kiara burst into laughter. "A rocket? That's ambitious for an eight-year-old!"Leena nodded. "Oh, it gets better. He gathered every cardboard box in the house, some tin foil, and even borrowed your kitchen pots. The living room turned into a makeshift space station. I walked in to find him sitting inside this box, surrounded by 'contro

The client, dressed in a suit that exuded sophistication, appeared slightly impatient as he leaned forward, addressing Hunter with a stern expression."Mr. Brown, I must express my concerns.

We need assurance that our investments are secure."Hunter, accustomed to navigating the intricacies of corporate discourse, leaned back in his leather chair, exuding an air of composed confidence.

CEO's Hidden Marriage Condition
The hospital where Tyler was admitted:-“This would be the last drip. Change the dose after it,” Ryan, clad in his white coat, instructed the nurse, assisting him to the patients’ wards. As he doesn’t have any surgeries scheduled till the afternoon, he was on a round first thing in the morning. “Sure, Doctor!” The nurse assured, noting something in her notepad that she carried in her hands around.They left the wards and moved to the next ward. The hospital was already bustling with people–Medical officers, staff, patients, and visitors. Even though it's a hospital, the vibe was surprisingly lively thanks to the amazing administration of the management. Doctors in their white coats hustled around, nurses wearing friendly smiles took care of patients, and you could hear the occasional shuffle of footsteps in the hallways. “Good morning, sir!” A few intern doctors smiled politely at Ryan, who replied to them with a polite nod while he walked past them.“How many more are left, Margret

Sister Mary consoled the woman, motherly warmth lacing each and every word she said.The two women, standing in the quiet corridor, shared a moment of silent understanding. Sister Mary, offering a gentle smile, placed a reassuring hand on Sophie's shoulder. In that exchange of emotions, they found solace in the hope that Tyler's journey to recovery was gradually unfolding.“I want to believe the same, Sister. It’s just my heart can’t seem to find a sense of peace. Every time I see him, my heart clenches brutally. It feels like someone is pulling it out bare. The longer he is taking to get up, the harder I feel to breathe, Sister. And I just don’t know what to do to free myself from this ache.” she confessed, her voice barely audible, the lump in her throat growing tighter. Moistened eyes gazed downward with a burdened he

The boy giggled, hiding his face in her hair. He loves long hair and often does this to either Kiara or Sophie.“How are you, my child??” Sophie planted a kiss on his cheek, asking him. Her hands still cupping Aaron's chubby cheeks.Finally the kid was looking chirpy and lively as always. Lest the past months had been tougher for her to see Aaron battle such a life threatening situation. One side was Tyler the other was Aaron. Both the most important people in her life are fighting for their lives.Only Sophie knew how she had kept herself from not giving up on the spirit to live more already.“I'm fine. Thank you.” Aaron parroted what he has been taught. His voice broke Sophie’s trance. Coming back in the moment, she had her eyes moistened at the predicament and how jovial the little boy was.Aaron n

Viaan’s Cabin:-Meanwhile, Viaan seethed in fury. He slammed his hand on the table and cursed loudly. “Fuck. The hell this man has been busy for two days. He is avoiding my calls intentionally.” His hand banged on the edge of the table once again.Michael flinched visibly and lowered his face not daring to look at his angry boss. Just then the door snapped open drawing their attention.“You are right, boss. He is indeed avoiding the calls on purpose.” Leo entered the office, holding an envelope in his hand. He glanced at a shivering Michael and asked him to go. “You can leave, Michael. We’ll call you when needed.” Leo had the right to order them and everyone was aware of it in the office; that’s why they didn’t need a confirmation from Viaan again. So, when Leo asked Michael to leave, It was like someone gave the freedom statement to him as he almost fled the room. Viaan breathed through his nose, looking at the man rushing out like his tail on fire. Cursing under his breath, he cho

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
