The news of Mr. Miller’s unexpected move hit Hunter like a sudden storm, and in a fit of rage, he dialed Evelyn’s number. The phone rang impatiently until she finally answered.

“Hunter,” Evelyn greeted, but her usual calm demeanor wavered as she sensed the intensity in his voice.

Hunter wasted no time. “Evelyn, how could you not inform me about Mr. Miller signing another project with Viaan Adams? Do I have to learn everything from the grapevines and media channels?” He almost roared at the lady, losing his patience.

Evelyn’s composure cracked, mirroring Hunter’s agitation. “Hunter, I didn’t know about this either, okay? Uncle kept everything under wraps. It’s as surprising to me as it is to you.” She retorted in the same tone, then an instance clicked her mind and she grumbled back. “And as far as I remember, I did have told you that Uncle has proposed one more project to Viaan. Do you even remember it?”

Realization dawned upon the man, recalling Evelyn’s words from a few days ago. Sh

I’m sure she would love it.” Excitement danced in Leena’s eyes as she turned to Sister Mary. “I would have accompanied you instead of Kiara, but this sickness doesn’t allow me to ascend the stairs or walk some distance more than twice a day,” Leena added, a helpless chuckle escaping her.The trio stood in the living hall, where little Aaron gleefully played with the robot car Leena had gifted him earlier that day.“I would love to have a tour of your house, Leena. But at the same time, I also want to see you healthy. So, it’s okay. Let Kiara show me around while you take a rest,” Sister Mary said, her smile offering both understanding and warmth as she gently pressed Leena’s arms in a comforting way.“Thank you,” Leena replied, turning her gaze back to Kiara. “Go, Kia,” she ordered.“Let

The flickering screen illuminated Hunter’s face, a picture of composure hiding the storm within. On the other end, Mrs. Knight appeared stern, her virtual presence emanating authority. “Mrs. Knight,” Hunter began, his tone measured, “I understand the concerns that led you to contemplate pulling out of the contract. However, I believe there might be a way for us to address those concerns and continue our successful partnership.” Mrs. Knight, her expression unyielding, listened attentively. The silence was palpable, charged with the weight of decisions hanging in the digital air. “I propose a mutually beneficial arrangement,” Hunter continued, choosing his words with calculated precision. “GRACE has been considering a significant expansion into the Asian market.

    Viaan’s POV:-“And I want this resolution passed within two hours,” I ordered my assistant, balling my fingers into a fist as I remembered last night’s incident.Bloody backstabbers!Neil hesitated, his fingers hovering over the keyboard of his laptop, typing what I narrated to him a few moments ago. “But Sir, this move could make them retaliate. They might expose sensitive information, tarnish our reputation, or worse – what if they target you and—”Cutting his off I slammed my hand on the polished glass of the center table; I glared at the man, my impatience fueling my response.“I don’t fucking care what they can do, Neil. We are anyways gaining too many enemies these days; so gaining two more won’t make a serious difference. And even if it does then they shall face my cruelty on a personal level.” My voice turned into a dangerous whisper as I gritted my teeth breathlessly in rage, and snapped at Neil who was skeptical in drafting what I was asking him to do.He resumed his duty th

I want every single signature present in this by the end of the lunch hour. Am I clear?” Lowering my tone enough to intimidate the poor man, I commanded.I am sure I might have sounded like a hollering predator with the intensity I was barking orders at Neil and my senior executives for the past three hours.“Y-yes Sir.”“Good!” Saying so, curtly, I pulled the phone off my ears and pushed it into my pockets. I looked at the iron gates of my Villa which were being opened hurriedly by the guards as we drove closer.Within a few seconds, we were in front of the outer porch and the car screeched on the wet cemented surface as Leo pulled the brakes, pulling the vehicle to a halt. The drizzle had stopped a few minutes ago but the cool wind was still dominating the air, making the whole surrounding feel chilly. I

Breathing heavily through my nose, I gritted. “And as I expected, Jerry and Linda appeared to be extremely interested in his offer, while Erik and Derek constantly denied his proposal. They made sure to convey their loyalty towards me… towards the company; while the first two had almost given in had I not broken into the secret meeting.” The words spit out of my mouth like fireballs.Their curious faces from last night’s event were etched on my memory. I can’t believe their audacity to even think of going against me despite seeing the consequences earlier ones faced.Fucking unbelievable!My fingers clenching into fists, I gulped hard at the feeling of cursing those traits out loud. And that is the reason that made me realize that I can’t trust anyone

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. 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?
