Adams Villa:-

“You seem to be too happy today, Maa?” Kiara teased her mother-in-law. A spark of mischief and happiness waved in her eyes.

As the clock edged nearer to their arrival, a sense of eager anticipation and warmth filled the air at Adams Villa. Kiara was no stranger to this infectious excitement.

The smile on Leena’s face broadened. “Of course, Kia. I’m meeting them after so many days.” chirped the elder lady. “You checked everything, right? This is the first time they are coming over. I want everything perfect. And did you check if they prepared Aaron’s favorite or not?” Readily she asked her daughter-in-law, happiness flowing through her words.

Seated beside her on the bed, Kiara gently clasped her warm hands. "Maa, relax. Everything is arranged exactly as you want. Only the presentation is pending, and they'll take care of it when serving lunch." Respect and affection swirled in her eyes as she looked lovingly at her mother-in-law.

    Viaan’s POV:- "We must act swiftly. Expose their intentions before their next move. Let's ensure Adams Corporation isn't underestimated." I said, reminding Noh once again of the gravity of this situation. Although this was not needed with this man, I couldn’t help stressing myself out. Noah powered down his tablet after conveying vital information to me. Straightening his posture, he asserted, "Please trust me, sir. I will make them see their worst for messing up with you. Believe me, sir, I won't let you down at any cost." His words resonated with certainty and unwavering determination. That is what I exactly need right now, Noah. That sheer determination. A shake of my head was my involuntary action. “I do, Noah. I do trust you the most in this case. That is the reason I am not going insane already!” A hint of stress still marred my words, but they were true as hell. I looked at the young boy, pushing past my anxious and vulnerable self. “I’m grateful for the trust you put

    Adams Villa:-After the long wait, as exaggerated by Leena, Sister Mary and Aaron were finally here. Leena and Kiara were already in the living room since the time they informed that they were just ten minutes away from the Villa.“I can’t tell you how happy I am to have you two here today!” Leena hugged Sister Mary warmly, welcoming her into her home.Sister Mary smiled tenderly. “The feelings are mutual, Leena. Trust me!” She spoke softly, as they broke the hug. “How are you feeling now?” She added, holding Leena’s hands in a warm clutch. Worry flashed evident in her eyes.“Better than before!” Confirmed Leena, shaking her head. She knew how much the lady was concerned for her, just like her family. And she can’t be more grateful to life and the almighty to bless her with such kind people.“I’m sure your health will get to the best very soon.” Affirmed Sister Mary, praying subconsciously for the woman.After that, she embraced Kiara in a motherly hug, as always, making the woman fee

    Mr. Miller’s Cabin:-Once the formalities were completed, Mr. Miller leaned back in his chair, a thoughtful gaze fixed on Viaan. "I have full confidence in you, my boy. This second project is as much yours as it is mine. Let's create something remarkable together." A poised smile danced on his lips, his eyes shone with the faith he had in Viaan.After all, the old man had been the big bull of the industry for ages. Of course, he had the connoisseur’s eyes to see the real potential and talent of people. He can easily identify who all are qualified and who all are putting up a facade. The shared vision and camaraderie between the two businessmen resonated in the cabin. The new project would add a new layer to the foundation of trust Miller & Co. had kept in Adams Corps, knowing this not only Viaan but Mr. Miller was also happy as he was not ready to lose such a brilliant association at any cost.“Thank you so much for putting your trust in me, Sir.” Viaan inhaled in contentment.

    Brown Corporations:-“You called me, Sir?” she said, in what seemed a confident tone or facade that she pulled. He turned sharply as Natasha approached, and the silence spoke volumes.“Natasha,” he thundered, “do you realize what you’ve done? Terminating a major project without consulting anyone—”Natasha held her ground, her face a mask of defiance. She took a deep breath, her brother’s teachings echoing in her mind, urging her to be strong. “I did what was necessary, Sir. That project was damaging not just to the company, but to Hunter personally. I won’t stand and let him or anyone tarnish his name.” her stand was loud and clear. If her father didn’t dissect her inner turmoil, then all she appeared was a very strong sister who was not ready to take bullshits against her brother.The air in the cabin shifted heavily. Anger and frustration from both the people echoed at the loudest in there.Charles, unable to contain his fury, slammed his hand on the desk. “Necessary? You’ve jeopard

    Viaan’s POV:-Coming straight to the exit, I spotted my car with Leo already being behind the wheel. “Let’s go,” taking long strides I reached there and sat in, asking him to head back to the office.Leo started the engine, and we zoomed out of Miller’s property. As soon as we hit the road, I saw Leo looking at me with questions, rather suspicions, in his narrowed eyes making me let out a deep chuckle.He rolled his eyes, giving me a side look. “Now, will you tell me when this all was arranged? Out of the blue, you asked me to drive you to Miller & Co. and then within fifteen minutes, they updated their forum with news that ‘Miller & Co. and Adams Corps are joining their hands for a second luxury venture today.’— Seriously? Like when does it happen? I mean you have just told us that he had asked you to do another project for him, but making things concrete this soon? When did you schedule to sign the second project today? And how come no one in the company knows about it, let alone me

    Viaan’s POV:-As I finished recounting the flashback, Leo’s surprised expression lingered, just as I expected.“What? The old man hurried in singing the contract just to give a strong message across the industry.” His mouth hung open wide in amazement, as he applied the brake suddenly.I shook my head and replied, “Even I was in the same state. Like, I knew he liked me but speeding up the process just to support me before my enemies…” I felt short of words to elaborate on what I felt. I was still wondering about last night and the way Mr. Miller said he thinks me of a son.“Hmm! Seems like he is highly impressed by you.” With that, he again started the engine and continued driving. “So, practically it was him who planned everything and just asked you to come over.” Keeping an eye on the road, Leo concluded.“Yes, it was his plan solely. And that’s why I said, it’s not even twenty-four hours that this was scheduled out of the blue,” I air-signed again, playfully emphasizing the spontan

    Kiara’s POV:-“I… I can’t tell you how painful it was for me to learn about all this from an event broadcast. I—” Maa gulped, wiping the cores of her eyes, “I felt like how worthless had I been in their lives that neither of them thought of informing me about such a massive thing. Like, how can I bear it, Sister, knowing that my only son was married for the past four months and, that too, to the girl I loved like my daughter and neither of them cared to tell me for so long? I felt not just cheated, but stabbed in my heart.” More tears poured out of her eyes and I couldn’t help but bite my lip harder to stop the urge to sob loudly.“After knowing everything, I realized that the sudden marriage was not their fault, instead it was forced, but I still can’t bring myself to make peace with the fact that my own didn’t tell me about such a crucial thing even after many days. Not even when he found Kiara here. Nor did she find it important.” She hiccuped, sniffing like a baby.‘That was not t

    Writer’s POV:-Adams Corps:-“…I have you back in my arms,” Viaan whispered seductively, the sultry tone lacing his voice as he continued the call.He knew what Kiara must be feeling right now, as he himself was feeling the same sensation. The conversation had taken an unexpected turn, evolving from a discussion about a simple meeting to Kiara’s worries about the property, and then, out of nowhere, a sudden surge of heat and longing enveloped them both. The shift was as bewildering as it was magnetic. One moment, they were discussing practical matters, and the next, an undeniable pull drew them into a world of craving desire.However, a knock on the door from Kiara’s side snapped them out of their la-la land. Viaan straightened himself and heard a female staff’s distant voice through the phone. “The lunch is served, Ma’am.” She said to Kiara.Next, he heard Kiara’s respond to her. “Okay, you go bring Aaron to the dining area. I’m coming in a minute.” Viaan heard the rustling before Ki

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

    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?
