“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. Her pupils dilated with her emotions in her. No more in a daze. She glare

    As Viaan walked past her, she didn’t bother to see him. The only thing eating her peace at that moment was Viaan’s demand that she found nothing but a preposterous condition.‘Why didn’t you refuse, Kia?’ her conscience questioned.‘He won’t take a no as an answer.’ Kiara replied, worried. The defeat was clear in her tone.She kept standing there, lost in the battle of her thoughts, her mind, and her heart. Viaan’s words echoed in her ears. The stubbornness he sounded left no option for her. She had to accept his demand; otherwise, the kids would suffer.“Kia,” someone shook her shoulders, breaking the chain of her thoughts.Rachel was standing there with Mary. Seeing Kiara standing like a statue when they entered the place, they were visibly confused.“Yeah!” Startling in reaction, she looked at them.“What are you thinking for the past ten minutes?” Rachel asked, furrowing her brows.As it came out of her unconsciousness, Kiara doubted. “Ten minutes? But he just left?” She pointed t

    Present:-"Then we started our equation all over again. And now you can see yourself where we are!" Viaan smiled at Kiara, ending his narration to his friends.The girl had her eyes lowered, and cheeks reddened with the heat creeping in them. She was biting her lips, unable to return his heated gaze. A smile crept on Viaan's face as he realised what she must be thinking. It was no amusement for the two men sitting in front of them to see the progress in their relationship. They foresee this day coming soon at the time of Viaan's sickness itself. The way Kiara hadn't left his side, her emotions were clearly visible to them.Ryan and Leo shared a look and smiled playfully at their friend. From the start they knew Viaan couldn't drag this longer. They had seen it coming with the way he used to be worried for her. In that cue, the worst incident of that evening turned out to be a turning point in their story. For hadn't that event happened, Viaan would have taken more time to realise his

    Hunter's apartment:-"Let some things be a secret for time being, N. Once I accomplish what I aim. I'll tell you everything in detail." Hunter, cleverly, avoided answering the question. "That's not fair. You told me you'll tell me soon." N whined, making Hunter chuckle.He racked his fingers through his hair and leaned back on the chair."I'm not going back on my words, buddy. As promised, I'll tell you soon." Teasingly, he said."You and your promises!" He heard N complaining and it did nothing but to make him laugh more."Okay. Leave that topic. I have something else to tell you." He added, diverting the topic of conversation."What is it?" N sounded grumpy, still eager to know."As you advised, I gifted her the books." As soon as Hunter revealed, N squealed in excitement."Oh My God. She must have been happy to receive them. I mean you put an extra effort in them." "She was happy, but her reaction was somewhat off." And then Hunter narrated the incident from that evening. "It's

    “Not until you call me by my name.”As the words came out of his mouth, her eyes snapped open. Some light frowns creased her forehead."What?" The word came out of her mouth as if she couldn't believe her ears.Her clear voice broke his reverie too. Realizing she didn't get it straight, Viaan loosened his grip on her and turned her so that he could talk to her face to face.Kiara looked into his eyes with mixed-up emotions. On one hand, she was feeling timid after such a moment and on the other hand, she was confused by what he just said. Now they stood extremely close to each other, having an uninterrupted eye lock. "Why are you looking so surprised?" Asked Viaan, caressing her cheeks with the back of his fingers. His other hand was still wrapped around her curvy waist."You said to call… I mean…" She couldn't find the proper words to voice out her confusion.Luckily he understood her dilemma without having her told that."I know what you are trying to ask," Viaan smiled.

    "Can I know what made my girl laugh all alone?" Viaan's voice boomed in the kitchen, making her stop abruptly.With her eyes squeezed, instantly, she bit her tongue as if he caught her stealing cookies. "Oh, I think I know what you're laughing at." She heard him say mischievously and opened her eyes; ready to face him.Chewing her lips, Kiara spun slowly. There he was, leaning on the door frame with a naughty smirk.Feigning an oblivious face, she asked. "What?" "What?" The playfulness in his voice turned her ears pink. His smirk widened with her reaction.However, not to let him enjoy it at her expense, she rubbed her ears on the pretext of keeping her hair in place. "Why are you smirking like that?" Asked Kiara, pushing her bangs behind her ear. "Perhaps you know that reason!" He replied, straightening himself; Viaan took slow steps towards her, making her feel every single inch closing between them.She avoided meeting his gaze, feeling timid yet gooey."Perhaps I don't know."

    "Oh, God, Mr. Adams, that's one funny imagination!" Kiara threw her head back as she laughed out freely.Her sudden laughter perplexed him and he furrowed his eyebrows. "What imagination?" Kiara didn't answer him but kept laughing; much to his eagerness."Why are you laughing like that? Answer me." He pressed her back against his front, standing her still.This brought her laughter to a steady stop. Kiara inhaled and exhaled deeply, filling in the air. However the act only irked Viaan more when he saw her smiling playfully instead of answering."If you're done laughing like a maniac, tell me the reason." His grumbling tone makes his girl chuckle."It's so easy to rule you up." "What was a funny imagination you said? Why were you laughing like that?" Ignoring her comment, he repeated his question."What you said was a funny imagination." She pursed her lips, giving unclear answers just to annoy him some more.These days she has been liking all his actions and reactions.As expected t

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

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?
