Only if he knew!

last update Last Updated: 2024-04-19 23:58:30

Writer’s POV:-

The brother and sister sat together in the hospital cafeteria, having breakfast and talking about happy memories. Hunter tried to make Natasha laugh with jokes and stories, but she only managed to smile warmly. Hunter was okay with this because seeing her smile instead of cry made him feel better. He was happy as long as she responded to him, even with just a smile.

Hunter knew it was important to keep trying to make Natasha feel better. He wanted to help her get through her sadness. He understood it wouldn’t be easy, but her smiles gave him hope. He believed that with time, they would be able to overcome this together.

Only if he knew what the actual thing was scaring Natasha.

“You want anything else?” Hunter asked, wiping his mouth with the tissue.

Natasha lifted her lashes at him, then lowered them again after giving him a blank gaze. “No, I’m full!” Her flat tone was still low. Her eyes were now void of any emotions, but a line of pain could still be easily detected

    Writer’s POV:-“I-I am sorry, bro. But I’ve decided.” She said with determination, making Hunter slam the table. His palm straight banged the table surface making the girl flinch in her spot.“You are not going to join this project, N.” Growling at her, Hunter gave her a deadly glare. His voice was a mixture of anger and disbelief. His chest heaved up and down as he breathed furiously.How can she even think so let alone decide it? And then the audacity she had to announce this to her big brother, her protector, and her confidante!‘Unbelievable.’ Hunter’s mind screamed. ‘His sister can never do so. She could never go against him, let alone defy him and hurt him this way.’ His subconscious added, compelling him to frown over the sudden determination to join the collaboration project with Viaan.The only thing he could guess out of this sudden decision of hers was: that something was fishy. Something wasn’t fitting in the picture and Hunter was sure that Natasha hadn’t decided this jus

Neil, his assistant, sat beside them, attentive to their discussion.Viaan, Neil, and the CFO were in the meeting for the past 25 minutes.“Sure, Sir.

    GRACE, Writer’s POV:-“But what actually happened, sir? As far as I can think, she would not want to go against you.” Robin expressed his doubts. His eyebrows drew together. The more he thought, the more he sensed something missing. “Her sudden acceptance of things doesn’t make sense.” He wondered aloud.Although he was right on his point and the same thing had raised Hunter’s doubts, the clear denial of Natasha with such deliberation of joining Viaan going against his brother had created havoc in his mind.He just couldn’t wrap his mind around the way Natasha said she would join the collaboration no matter what he said.How could she even think so? Doesn’t she think for once how her brother would feel about the decision?This was picking up on the elder brother’s peace—so much so that he was not ready to think rationally about her sudden declaration; not just yet.Hunter had his nostrils flaring up, and his palm curling up hard like an iron ball. Those nails dug into his skin until t

    Writer’s POV:-“And what our sources say, Hunter is perhaps actually looking to lessen his legal issues.” Dave sighed a breath, looking at the three people sitting in front of him.Viaan, Kiara, and Leo had come to his office to meet him and discuss the further steps in Hunter’s proposal. Their sources have been active since morning and all that they could catch till now is Hunter’s eagerness to get out of court cases.“No chance that he is saying it just for the sake of reducing complexities. That can be one of the reasons, but definitely not the only reason.” Viaan shook his head, clearly denying Dave’s words.Dave raised an eyebrow, considering Viaan’s response. Leo, nodding in agreement with Viaan, added, “I agree with Viaan. Hunter might have other motives behind this proposal.” He then shared a look with his boss and added firmly, “Also, our sources are still not very sure. They said they are trying to grasp more regarding the matter. So we must wait until their search is over.”

    Kiara’s POV:-I felt as if a huge wave of joy hit me with such an intensity that I felt my feet freezing right at the threshold of the room. My eyes stuck at the scene in front, my eyes blurring again and again in uncontrollable joy.As I stood there, my heart felt like it might burst from my chest. The sight of Tyler awake, smiling through the pain, was both a miracle and a validation of all those years of hope and prayer. I couldn’t believe my eyes, and yet, there he was, my brother, my best friend, looking at me with such love and strength in his eyes.Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably, but they were tears of joy, of relief, of overwhelming gratitude to whatever force had brought him back to us.

    Kiara’s POV:-Life is unpredictable. They say. But in my case, it was not only unpredictable but also uncertain through and through.All the years that I spent on this earth have a majority of uncertainty and suffering. Not that I’m ungrateful for the blessings that I received in some or other form a few times, but the weight of uncertainty and pain was so unbearable that I never really got a merciful chance to express my gratitude to the universe.Even today when I look at Tyler all smiling and talking to me, I can’t help but reflect on the time and cost it took for us to reach this day. And what made it worse was Tyler’s question, which was bound to come anytime.As I was reminded by Sophie that Tyler’s body was still weak and I must not clutch him strongly for long, I broke the hug and held my brother’s hand, stepping a little back.“W-where is Mummy-papa? Since the time I woke up, I haven’t seen t-them. Where are they? Are they not here?” He inquired curiously, squeezing my hand.

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
