“Ask him to wait for us, Leo. I can’t lose the chance I get to return his favors.” Viaan mumbled, his tone impatient yet nostalgic. “He stood by my side when I needed the most. I shall do the same now.” A hint of gratitude touched his words as he instructed Leo. He couldn’t help but remember all that Charles had done for him years ago. And not only that, but he had also been a better guide till now. Eventually, Viaan made himself capable of handling things on his own. Still, he couldn’t just let the kindness shown by Charles go like that. He had to repay the favors shown by him. Back in the moment, Leo understood the change in his tone, thus he said something that was satisfactory to Viaan and he nodded his head. “Sure, pick me up in fifteen minutes.” With that said to Leo, Viaan disconnected the call and kept the phone aside. He rubbed his hands on his face, releasing the tension in a deep sigh, and inhaled a deep breath again. His stiff shoulders showed the gravity of the situatio
Hunter’s Apartment:-It was ten in the night when Hunter got the call from ‘N’.He was having a late dinner while watching the current statistics of Mr. Smith’s company on his tablet when his phone started vibrating on the table.Glancing with a bored look, he found his forehead releasing the stress lines, reading the name.Switching off the tablet and keeping the pasta bowl aside, he received the call.“Hey, how are you?” He asked in a lighter tone.“In a terrible shape!” The tired reply came, making Hunter frown.“Why what happened?” He asked, suspiciously.“Mr. Brown ordered me back in two days.” The person whined, complaining about Charles.“What?” The suspicious tone turned into a shocked one and he asked doubtfully. “Why and when did he contact you?”“Today only, Hunter. And the reason he gave me can’t be any more unreasonable. He said I should get back in two days because he has things planned for me that are apparently more important than my final projects. And he can’t postpo
Viaan’s POV:-I felt her panting in my neck, even before I did anything more than these touches. Can she be any more responsive certainly, it was turning me on like never! I can feel myself getting hard as a rock, feeling her warm quick breaths on my neck.I could control no more and separated her shivering body from mine. She had her eyes closed, sucking air through her parted lips, hungrily. I had always imagined her melting in my arms when we would make love and expected her to react sensuously & sensitively, but her shivering at just the mere touch of my fingers was beyond my imagination.Blame me if I didn’t love it equally! It’s a magnetic pull that is forcing me to do more of these tortures on her bare body… these were like drugs addicting me to get more of her reactions, to see her sexily wriggling in my arms and I’ll make sure to get it all today.I made her lie down on the bed, and she opened her eyes the moment her head touched the pillow. Those eyes she was looking at me w
Delicate things don’t last long amid rigidity. You must buckle up for the hardships even in the moments of delicacies; you never know what minute will come crashing down like fire in your peaceful jungle.Viaan’s life has become that jungle these days. The easy plan he had made to carry out his life was just not working now.Adams Corps:-Viaan came back from meeting Charles which lasted only 10 minutes because the sedatives the doctors have given him were very high in the dose and that’s why he slipped into slumber while talking to Viaan.He promised Victor that he will visit him soon and get back to his office.It was around 4 in the evening when he got a sudden call from Mr. Miller.“Mr. Miller?” He frowned, knitting his eyebrows.His mind instantly formed many possibilities for which the man must have called him personally because this is very rare that Mr. Miller calls someone personally considering his big image. Then it is struck by Viaan that it must be something related to Ev
Sunday, Miller mansion:-The Sunday mornings in the Miller mansion had always been a brightening affair as Mr. and Mrs. Miller invited their extended family for lunch. Each Sunday is all about family meet and greet, lip-smacking lunch personally prepared by Mrs. Miller, and great laughter.However, this time it was a bit different. They did not hold a family lunch, as Mrs. Miller was not well. Moreover, today Mr. Miller was also in a sad mood as he was stressed for Evelyn. The girl had come early today and had been crying since morning. She narrated the incident from last evening, making Mr. Miller feel bad for her. As Viaan asked her to stop all her approaches this instant, which she hid skillfully from Mr. Miller, she was now stubborn to get him. And the best option was her uncle. Knowing the couple's fondness for her, she had preferred the tricky way to get things done in her favor.As Mrs. Miller rested in her room, Mr. Miller sat with his niece in the living hall and consoled her
Adam's Villa:-Kiara's POV:-Sundays are the only time of the week when I get to take a relaxing shower and pamper myself. Otherwise, with the given schedule of my work hours and the amount of workload every day throughout the week, all I feel is a rush to do everything. But thankfully there's at least one day I can devote myself and my personal life. And as today was Sunday, I took extra time to refresh myself. With the warm droplets cascading down my skin, all my stress vented out of my body, too.However, the moments of self-pampering didn't last long, as something was waiting for me to freak out again.I had just opened my bathroom door when I heard the continuous ringing of my phone. 'Who could be at this time?'My eyes themselves went to the clock, and I frowned about who could call me at this time. It was just half-past eight in the morning and, given it was Sunday, no one was supposed to call me at this hour. It can't be Viaan also as we just had a text before I went for my da
With my cheeks red in embarrassment, I completed my breakfast and rushed to my destination.When I was at the entrance, a hand stopped me by my arms and pulled me aside in a secluded corner of the parking. Needless to say, it was Viaan who had stopped me."Hello, Madam. Where?" I heard him say, and my heartbeats raced at a maddening pace. Biting my cheeks, I turned around and faced my man with a nervous smile. There he was, standing all sweaty after the gym session and his brows raised up in question."Hello…" I said, giggling unnecessarily.His forehead creased at my weird behavior. "What's with this smile? What are you nervous about?" The moment he asked, my smile faltered and my heart thumped strongly against my chest.'When did he start reading us like this?' screamed my mind.Gulping some air to ease myself, I shook my head negatively. "No. I'm not nervous. I'm just…. getting late so…" There my words left my mind, and I was blank about what to say more."Getting late? For?" He as
"Tell me he is finally getting back, Sophia. Tell me the almighty listened to my prayers." I cried like a baby, hugging her tightly. I closed my eyes, letting out the pent-up emotions in my heart. Only Sophia and God know how much I've waited for this one piece of news. He might not have woken up, still, the news of the slightest recovery came as the ray of light amidst the darkness. A strong hope of survival amidst fear of losing him.She stroked my hair, lovingly, before patting my head in consolation. "Yes, Kia, Tyler is finally getting back." She pushed my face up from her shoulders and wiped my tears. "The almighty listened to your prayers." Her words full of promise and hope revived my trust. I felt a different energy channelizing in me as I saw Sophia looking at me with deep confidence swirling in her glossy eyes.I hiccuped, sniffing slowly. My sobs have died down by now with Sophia calming me down. Her words echoed in my mind, told me how my patience and prayers have finally
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
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
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
