Viaan’s POV:-

I continued, adding more to their shock. “Now that you know what their rule states, you can see clearly that Mr. Hunter Brown has breached his company’s rule by founding and owning another profitable business under his name.” Without waiting further, I said the words I was dying to say. “Hunter Brown has clearly deceived his own company!”

As I revealed the truth, the atmosphere in the conference hall shifted seriously. The reporters were stunned, their faces contorted with disbelief. It was gratifying to see the expressions on their faces as they finally connected the dots.

And to say I had finally started feeling peace would be an understatement.

To see that shock on their faces.

They were the same people who have been praising Hunter for the last two days while portraying me as one scandalous man with all those shady articles and news bulletins. Now, looking at their shocked faces gives me a sense of peace.

Amid my thoughts, I heard another voice from a rebellious repo

    Viaan’s POV:-The room was filled with a mix of tension and anticipation. The reporters were hungry for more information, eager to hear the rest of the story. And I was ready to give it to them.“This is very shocking to know that a person who has just been awarded the prestigious accolade comes out… this secretive.” I heard Sarah say. She shook her head, sighing, probably. “Unbelievable!”“Mr. Adams, you were saying you have more to share in the beginning. So, is there more to the story, or this is it?” Another reporter, whom I recognized as Ben Strong from ACT News, asked after Sarah. He was seated just beside her.I took a deep breath, steadying my perseverance. This was my moment to give back to him… to expose the truth, and seek justice for my family. And I was not going to let anything or anyone stand in my way.“Although there are many more secrets that Mr. Hunter Brown had up his sleeves, I won’t be mentioning them here,” I replied, my voice firm and resolute. “I don’t play a

You can read yourself that the name of the owner written in bold is none other than Hunter Brown. The only difference is he has used his full name, that is, Hunter Edward Brown. And in the last his signature; again — H.E.” Viaan’s voice boomed in my living hall, tearing the eerie silence I had here.My eyes stuck to the paper they showed on the screen. The license of laboratory equipment.The license of MY laboratory equipment. It was my confidential document being shared over there. It was my secret being exposed over there. The paper had my signatures along with the senior officer of the R&D department.“Exactly, that’s because he never used it ever since he step into the CEO’s position. That’s why you don’t know his full name. It is all present in his academics only and if I’m not wrong then his l

Mr. White knew the gravity of the situation, and he wanted everyone in the room to be fully aware of the implications.“Yes, we saw them!” They replied in unison, their faces contorted with fury.The revelation that their very own CEO had been operating another business in secret hit them like a tidal wave. The sense of betrayal hung heavily in the air, and the board members were visibly incensed.“Infuriating, indeed, to know that our own CEO has cheated us,” one of them interjected with palpable anger.“Absolutely!

Any improvement in her condition?” her voice filled with concern.She knows everything that has been transpiring for three days. The very night when this all began, she had called me, but I couldn’t receive it as Viaan was unconscious and I had no will to move away from him. But, luckily Rachel didn’t receive her call, thinking it was one of my colleagues.So, when she told me about it the next morning, I immediately called Soph when I got a little time away from everyone. Then we talked last night too. So, she knows all.We had talked about everything last night when Viaan slept after having an emotional breakdown in my arms.“Not very much. Still under that critical observation period.” I exhaled slowly on the other end of the line, my mind still a whirlwind from the events of the past few days. “It’s been quite a roller coaster, Soph. There are moments of hope, but then setbacks follow.

I heard her scolding me after the silence of ten seconds. “I told you not to repeat it ever. What would you take to realize this?” Her harsh tone didn’t hurt me once, for I know she had only been wishing for my betterment.But what do I do with this thought that kept crawling into my mind every now and then? I sniffed a long breath, my lips pressed hard between my teeth. A few warm drops finally crumbled down, wetting my lashes.This was painful at many levels. My heart twisted agonizingly.“Soph,” I paused, gulping the heavy lump. “Realization sometimes comes through the happenings of life. Ignoring them might be the biggest mistake.” My voice sounded groggy, as I mumbled with a heavy heart and constricted throat.“That being said, Kia, you should realize that it was all bound to happen. Look at it the other way…” Her voice softened. She tried to make me und

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

    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

    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?
