After Kia had cut the call, Aaron brought Sister Mary's mobile to her and thanked her.

“Aunt, Sophie!!” He excitedly met Sophie who crouched down and collected him in his arms lovingly. 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.

    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

Obviously, everything was going according to their plan. But, the man still needs to be vigilant. That's why he was keeping an eye on the events every second.Hunter's eyes darkened evilly. A villainous smirk curved the corner of his lips. He imagined Viaan's frustrated face, broadening his satisfaction of breaking his enemy bit by bit. This was what he wanted. This was what he had kept on his targets since. “I'm sure you remember what we had planned next, Mr. Russo. That man is smarter than we think.” Warned Hunter, his voice steely and eyes blazing with the passion to destroy his enemy at all cost.“I know, Hunter. And I remember as well.

    Writer's POV:-“You shouldn't do this, Hunter.” Jenny condemned strongly, her disapproval palpable as she stepped into Hunter's chaotically silent room.Hunter, startled, remained seated, his grip on the phone tightening. He didn't turn around immediately, choosing instead to let the heavy silence linger. Jenny, undeterred, closed the distance, placing a gentle hand on her son's shoulder. "Hunter–" she began, but he cut off her words with a sharp interruption."You know your preachings won't affect me. So don't even try." Hunter's face was a mask of resolve, jaw clenched, and he still avoided meeting her gaze. Yet, his subtle turn towards her signaled an acknowledgment of her presence.It was evident that she had overheard his conversation. The knowledge hung between them, an unspoken tension that he loathed. Despite his aversion to confrontation, he found himself entangled in a situation where he had to face the consequences, and his mother was now an unwilling witness. His dismissi

    Hunter’s Penthouse:-Jenny let out a deep sigh of helplessness and sat beside him on the sofa he was sitting on. She cupped his cheeks and made him look at herself. “I am not stopping you from anything, Hunter. In fact, I always wish to support you, my child.” She paused, taking a breath. “It's just I don't want you to get in more trouble. You already have too much on your plate. And adding up to that, Charles is on your trail because of the choices I made, and it terrifies me to see you tangled in these troubles. That’s why I am more worried about you now.” Her voice cracked a bit; drawing a shaky breath, she continued. “You may not call me mother now, but you are still my son. My firstborn. And I would be worried for you, care for you till the last breath I would take in this world.” Declared the mother, with her eyes glossy by the end. A stoic expression had drawn over Hunter’s face all this while, but when she talked about taking her last breath, an anxious wave flashed past his

"This is the last time we'll need his blood," she sighed through the phone, her words carrying a weight that caught Kiara's attention.Worry crept into Kiara's voice as she clutched the phone tightly. "Are you sure there won't be another time? Aaron is still recovering, and I don't want to risk my baby's safety," she expressed, her concern for Aaron evident in her every word.Sophie understood Kiara's fears, having shared the same apprehensions since all the previous blood transfusions. Yet, Kiara couldn't shake the worry for Aaron's well-being. Her eyes stayed fixed on the phone, seeking reassurance."I get it, Kiara. And even I have the same feeling. But we need to hold onto our patience. Dr. Ryan is doing everything to make sure Tyler gets better without putting Aaron in danger. To make sure he even contacted Aaron’s doctor today morning before starting the procedure. Thus, even with all the

    Viaan's POV:-Dave furrowed his brow, scanning through yet another set of documents. "I've checked this one as well, but like the others, it's not yielding any desirable results," he confessed, his frustration palpable. My patience wore thin, and I let out an audible grunt."Dave, you're stating the obvious without offering a solution. I need a solution right now. A goddamn effective solution." I snapped, catching him off guard with my sudden outburst. His eyes widened in surprise as I voiced my impatience, demanding more than just an acknowledgment of the problem.The oppressive silence that followed my outburst seemed to stretch endlessly, suffocating the room. Dave sighed heavily, catching my gaze.“Calm down, man. I get you are frustrated, but I’m also not sitting quietly.” He said after a while, "If anything, I've been through as much as 56 files related to the rules and responsibilities of the shareholders within the least time. Even triple-checked the contracts of those who bet

    Writer's POV:-“I can’t take away your tension, Viaan. But try to maintain the calmness and patience in you. For they are waiting to make you panic only. That would be their biggest win and your worst loss.” Dave advised Viaan, knowing how everything was messing up with his mind.Being not just his lawyer but a good friend from all these years, he knew how and what things affect the man. And every time he was in need of good advice Dave had always been the best source. Staring at the man silently for a second Viaan nodded gently. “I'll keep your eurds in mind.” Dave smiled politely at his friend, patting his hands before he picked up the files from the table and left him alone. “I'll call you tomorrow to update you about the new date of hearing. Bye.” he referred to the defamation case hearing of Kiara which was postponed this week because of Hunter's arrest.“Bye,” Viaan kept lookingThe phone which went silent after a full ring, rang up again Viaan received the call and pressed t

    “No. Viaan. I'm okay. I swear.” her sonorous voice stopped his feet. “No need to leave work this early .”Viaan sat back again, “Then tell me what happened. Why are you crying?” Helpless as he felt, he couldn't do much except asking her over the phone because as Kiara requested Viaan couldn't leave his work this early. He had a video conference with a foreign client in about one hour which he certainly can't miss. Not especially when the clients were taken aback by such a major turn of events in the company.Thinking about pros and cons, the man helplessly sat back in his chair, running a frustrated hand through his already messy hair.After a while, he heard Kiara taking a deep breath and then he figured out that she was wiping off her tears with the way she sniffed some more before clearing her throat.“I… I got a call from Uncle Cooper's son an hour ago.” She began speaking and her throat tightened already. Viaan can easily sense that her throat was constricted with thick emotions

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

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.

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?
