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

Holding his mother's hand gently, looking politely at her worried face, he hoped to keep her and Natasha away from the darker aspects of his life. But Jenny, being his mother, wasn't easily swayed. She expressed her worry, making it clear that Hunter couldn't convince her otherwise. No matter how hard he tried to shield her from his troubles, she'd always be concerned. “I’m worried for you, son. And you can’t convince me not to. No matter how much you try to push this away from m

    Viaan’s POV:-Once Leo exited, leaving us in my private space, the visitor locked eyes with me; fearlessly, as always. A familiar smile graced his lips, and I observed the familiar glint in his eyes as he approached my designated seating area, a radiant spark illuminating his gaze with every step.Some people never change, and this man here is a prime example. I couldn’t help but smile inwardly at his mighty confidence. “Welcome, young man.” I stood up from my seat. Extending my hands for a hug, I welcomed him.With his lips curling broader, he reciprocated my gesture. I patted his back, greeting him personally after a long. “Thanks a lot, Sir. Please accept my warm greetings.” He said, stepping back from the hug after a second.In response, I inclined my head in an informal nod, gesturing with a subtle movement of my hand for him to take a position beside me. “I hope nobody saw you coming over, Noah!?” I inquired, a note of caution lingering in my words. Noah responded with a polit

A lady, to be precise.” Noah revealed his tone, both grave and conspiratorial. The information Viaan was waiting for was finally here, increasing his predicaments.The awaited information arrived, intensifying Viaan's predicament. He widened his stance, eyes narrowing stoically. “Did you find her identity?” he asked skeptically, a troubling notion unsettling his patience and peace right from that very moment.“That’s the only regret I have here. I tried very hard to get the name and identity out, but not once Mr. Russo called her name.” Noah replied remorsefully, shaking his head in regret.“Fuck!” Cursing under his breath, Viaan pinched the bridge of his nose. His mind was already running at the possibilities of some more of his apprehensions coming true.That would be the last thing Viaan wanted right

    Hunter’s Office:-Even as Hunter tirelessly worked on his job, things weren't getting easier. Besides seeking payback against Viaan, he was actively trying to fix the mess in his company—its damaged reputation and how people saw it. But, you know, they say an image is like a mirror. Once it's broken, you can't hide the cracks. Hunter faced the challenge of realizing that the fallout from his revenge plot and the issues in his company left lasting scars. No matter how hard he tried, it seemed like the problems weren't going away. The broken mirror, symbolizing his company's reputation, kept showing those cracks. It wasn't just about fixing what people saw on the outside; Hunter had to figure out how to heal what was broken within the company itself. The journey to make things right turned out to be much tougher than he thought, haunted by the shadows of the shattered mirror.A wave of frustration rippled out through the man once again as he peeked a glance at the email displayed on th

"Maa, relax. Everything is arranged exactly as you want. Only the presentation is pending, and they'll take care of it when serving lunch."

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

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.

    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

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.

    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?
