“You lack in keeping promises, Mr. Adams. Our wedding vows are legit proof of it!” Her eyes blazed fire; she glared at the man with disgust in her eyes.

In this world, if something possesses the ability to slice your heart faster and deeper than the mightiest sword, then its words. Words that pierce your heart, rip your soul, and hurt your mind. It can shatter the most powerful man in a minute.

And now Viaan knows why people say these words so mindfully. He felt his heart twisting painfully when Kiara claimed that he lacks in keeping promises.

Unbearably, he tried to ignore her accusations, try to believe that he didn't hear any such heart-piercing facts. Alas, the truth was far more away from this assumption. Painfully, he gulped the truth. He somewhere deserved the blame. However, to see her cry, Viaan had his heart overwhelmed, too.

It was hard for him to see the disgust in her eyes. To see the pain in her words. To feel her sufferings in her tears. The scene pierced his heart ag

    “Who said I would like to see an ideal partner in you?” Kiara yelled back, gritting her teeth. “Who said I would want to do anything with you after all this?” She had tears in her eyes, which came out of revolt. Despite her protest, the warm tears cascaded down, making her vision blur. Her face twisted venomously, and she averted her gaze, not wanting to look at him. Once again, Viaan sat speechless, pressing his lips firmly. It’s not like he had no words to counter her question, but he didn’t want to ruin the only chance he had.Luckily, Kiara had stopped pulling her hand out of his grip, much to his favor. Viaan looked at her eyes, which she averted in anger and buckled up his courage.Sucking a deep breath, he held her hand between the cup of his palm and started to say. “Kiara, I —”Before he could complete it, she cut his words off, sounding sad all of a sudden.“You know, Mr. Adams, yesterday I came to know something strange and I couldn’t help but relate that to my situation.

    “What happened, Mr. Adams? Why did you leave my hand now? Didn’t you promise you won’t leave it again?” She mocked, noticing his action.Her words pricked him. He raised his eyes back to her. “I know you’re hurt and you have all the right, Miss Jones.”“No, you don’t know a thing, Mr. Adams, you bloody don’t.” The low-toned response made Kiara huff with mockery and annoyance. “Like a fool, I was coming to you yesterday with the thought that I would confront you on this, and then my problems will be sorted out when I’ll assure you that you don’t have to worry about your image because I will never let the truth come out.” She pressed the last words, seething breathless, and took a pause. Her chest rise and fall heavily as her breathing heaved up.Inhaling sharply, she continued. “But look at my foolish mind. I just forgot I was not responsible for your insecurity. Nowhere. I was responsible for the forced marriage because I was a victim too. Then why the hell did I suffer for your insec

    The words struck Viaan like a thunderbolt. He stood rooted for a second, trying to process her words, but it was already too late by that time. On a reflex to her decision, Kiara jumped out of the bed, leaping for the knife that she saw in the fruit basket.“I’ll end this curse now. How will they molest me when this body will be dead?” Murmuring insanely, she pressed the knife right on her left wrist and was about to slit her skin and nerve when Viaan came to his senses. “Kiara…” His eyes widened at the scene and he stormed toward her.“No…” He yelled, trying to snatch the knife from her. “Leave it, you’ll get hurt.”“I’m already hurt, Mr. Adams. Please let me free myself.” Between her cries, she didn’t look at him but continued to press the blade against her skin. “It’s the only solution now.” Another sob left her lips. Her blurry vision was making it difficult for her to focus.“This is not a solution, but madness, Kiara. Leave the bloody knife, you’ll get hurt.” He snatched the kni

    “You are right. You must be punished.” Kiara sniffed, pushing his hands down slowly. She wiped the last of her tears and nodded once again. “Tell me, how should I punish you?”Viaan stared at her for a moment. “However you want!” Voice deep but low. He didn’t flicker his eyes away from hers.“You’re letting me decide. Isn’t it strange, Mr. Adams?” The anguish in her tone was evident to him. “But, don’t worry, Sir, I will not be cruel like you.” She inhaled a sharp breath. “So, your punishment is from now on, you will never show me your face. Even if I’m dying somewhere, don’t come in front of me, for I’m done with this life.” With a heavy breath, she said vehemently. The retribution sounded more like her freedom than his punishment.Viaan kept looking at her intently, trying to read her mind. However, as blankly as she stared at him, it was a tough task for now. He knew with the rage she was saying all this, she can’t decide anything rationally. Hence, the man agreed with the smallest

    Heaven’s Abode:-The tires screeched against the concrete road, drawing the attention of a few staff working on the lawn.As Viaan stopped his car outside the building, Kiara started to open the door, but his ultimatum stopped her hands.“I won’t show you my face, but you will come to me willingly, Miss Jones. The last time I made a mistake, I was blinded by rage. This time, my sanity is my supporter. At no cost, I’m letting you go, especially when I decided to give our forced relationship a chance. Keep that in mind.” Eyes fixed straight at the road, Viaan said in a deep voice.A fit of annoyance instantly wrapped her mind, but this was not the right time to snap back at the audacious man.Without turning her face to him, she discarded his ultimatum. “You can wish all you want!” Her anguished tone made him smirk. He rolled his tongue in his cheeks, knowing the arrow reached its aim.Viaan heard a click, and then the door of the car opened. The moment she stepped out, Viaan couldn’t h

    “What are you saying, Sister? How is it possible? This place belongs to you and the kids.” Kiara reacted volatile.“We can’t deny the fact that this property does not belong to us legally, Kia. And the owner is free to do as he pleases.” Mary sighed heavily, letting out a defeated breath. She then patted Kiara’s shoulder and tried to calm her down. “Don’t worry, we will do something. We’ll find a place for the kids soon.”“This is cruelty, Sister. How could Mr. Lewis just do that?” Kiara threw her hands up, appalled at the revelation. “And who the hell is this new owner who has no mercy for the orphan kids?” With her eyebrows furrowed and outrage went prominent on her face as she waited impatiently for Mary’s answer.“I know but —” As Mary started to say, Rachel’s phone rang up with a loud interruption, intervening in the conversation.Feeling embarrassed, she cut the call. “Uh… sorry.”“It’s okay, child.” Mary shook her head, and when she turned her eyes back to Kia, the same sound o

    “It did… now this property is mine!”Kiara froze at her spot. Her mouth hung open wide and her eyes were big like saucers as she realized who this voice belonged to. Since his back was to her, she couldn’t see his face, but that voice was familiar enough to recognize even in her deep sleep.“Mr. Adams?” Her lips flickered as she took his name under her breath. It was then Kiara got reminded of what she had come here for. Flaring her nostrils at the fact that Viaan again was the reason for her worries, she dashed towards him.With a swift moment, she held his arm and spun him in her direction. “How could you stoop so low?” She spat, shaking in anger. “I told you not to show me your face.” Her eyes blazed a fire as she threw the blames at him.“Have an action replay, Miss Jones. It’s you who came running to me, not the other way around.” Viaan freed his arm, shrugging it casually, as if dusting the spot.The unfazed look on his face irked her more. She scoffed audibly. “So, to trouble m

    “You!” His possessive tone sent shivers down her spine. Kiara stared into his eyes, speechless, as she tried to process his demand.Her heart leaped a beat as she felt her breath hitching in her throat the moment it all made sense to her.“What?” She exhaled as if pleading something. Unknown to her, Viaan was actually enjoying her dazed face.The proximity that they shared was affecting him so much that he didn’t stop his fingers from roaming over her jaws. “You heard me, Miss Jones. I want you in exchange for stopping it all.” Adoringly gazed at her face, capturing her image in his heart. “I want you to give us a chance.” He continued in a hushed tone.Things have already started changing his thoughts and Viaan was now more than willing to walk this fresh path with Kiara. “Come with me and I’ll let them leave here.”It was then she realized what he was doing with those deep words, that she gave him a firm push.

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 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.

    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

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

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.

    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

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?
