Writer’s POV:-

“Ma’am, it’s time for your walk,” a nurse said, coming towards Leena’s bed. She was accompanied by another one hot on her trail.

While the two ladies were watching the live telecast, the nurse came and took Leena for a scheduled walk. Since she was in bed, immobile, for many days, the physiotherapist has suggested starting her physical exercise with a simple walk two times a day, at least for the next five days. Then only she can move on to the next physical exercise.

Leena nodded with the help of Kiara and the two nurses. She then took baby steps as it was hard for her to make a grip on her feet after getting up from the coma. Kia was coming behind her as they reached the doorstep, but the nurse asked her to stay there as they were professionals and they could help Leena more than anyone else.

“You can stay here, Miss. And don’t worry, we’ll take good care of Mrs. Adams while helping her.” She said politely, getting a reluctant nod from Kiara. That was, too, when Leena

    Hotel Water Bay:-"Viaan, what if Maa returns before we do? She'll be terribly disappointed. We must not leave her alone." Kiara fretted, her voice a gentle whisper filled with concern. While she perched on the chair he had thoughtfully pulled out for her, her anxious gaze locked onto Viaan's face.As Viaan stood by her chair, still holding onto the back of it, he responded with a tender smile. He planted a sweet, chaste kiss on her temple, reassuring her, "Don't worry, baby. I've already spoken to the nurse, and she assured me that Maa won't be back for at least another hour. I'll make sure to drop you off before then." With that, he gracefully moved back to his seat, sitting down beside her.Viaan had reserved a private cabin for the two of them, offering an hour of undisturbed intimacy. It had been a while since they had enjoyed quality time together, especially with Leena's imposed punishment on him. So, when the opportunity arose, Viaan seized it, arranging a lunch date to savor

    Hotel Water Bay:- After the heavenly kiss they shared, Viaan graciously guided Kiara back to her chair before retaking his seat. The ambiance of the restaurant enveloped them, the soft glow of ambient lighting casting a warm hue on their faces. As they settled, a waiter appeared with their ordered dishes, placing them carefully on the table. Viaan expressed gratitude, making a polite request for privacy until they signaled otherwise. The couple started the food while Viaan began to answer every single question that was swirling in Kiara’s mind. Viaan started, his words flowing with a sincere tone. “I know you must be upset about why I didn’t tell you about this beforehand, but–” However, before he could delve further into his explanation, Kiara gently intercepted, her hand reaching across the table to grasp his. “I’m not upset because you didn’t tell me this, Viaan. I can never be sad about your decisions because I know you would not do anything without any reason. I’m just shocke

    Writer’s POV:-“This is the third time his heart rate has fluctuated, Sir. Should we change the medications?” One of the junior doctors asked Ryan, who was injecting Tyler.“This medication is what is going to help him come to consciousness soon, Dr. Keith. We can’t change them. And don’t worry, these sudden fluctuations are what I have already assumed, so nothing is out of line.” Ryan answered, focusing on pressing the medicine into Tyler’s nerves. It was a week since the special blood transfusion had happened through the new process that Ryan is currently researching. He wanted to take this chance to kill two birds with one stone: Trying to bring back Tyler when all other treatments had failed and second that if this new procedure that he is using in the treatment gives a positive outcome then this would be a revolution in the field of neurology and by this his research, with the purpose of serving mankind, will be an immense success. He would get it patented and then use it to tre

    “Now, let’s talk about why I called you here,” Ryan said, crossing his hands on the table. “So, first of all, I would like to advise you that you get a grip over your emotions, especially while monitoring Tyler, Miss Sophie. Because you are not just his family but also the head nurse here for many years and you are expected to act professionally at times.” He said in a serious tone, making Sophie flush in shame.Lowering her lashes, she stuttered, “I-I am sorry, sir!” “I didn’t want you to be sorry about your emotions, Miss Sophie. I understand what you're going through. I just want to remind you that you hold a professional position in this hospital. Not everyone, including doctors and nurses, will always be supportive. At some point, they might question your emotional approach to Mr. Tyler's case, putting you in an uncomfortable position. Therefore, I suggest holding back tears and anxiety when people are around. You wouldn't want them to be suspicious, would you?” Ryan's words car

    Adams’ Villa:-The sound of screeching cars echoed outside the porch as Viaan swiftly unbuckled his seat belt and stepped out from the driver's seat. Kiara followed suit, emerging from the passenger side. In the backseat, Leena sat alongside Samantha, while the other two couples occupied the second car, arriving closely behind. Viaan had personally taken the wheel to drive his mother home, emphasizing his commitment to ensuring Leena's safe return.“I’ll check the preparation,” Kiara told Viaan earning a nod from him. She walked ahead taking Leena’s medicine bag.Meanwhile, Viaan reached for the back door and helped his mother out of the car. “Careful, Maa.” said the man, holding tightly on Leena’s arms as she fumbled with her wobbly feet after the ride. Concern etched on Viaan’s countenance while he let her stabilize herself. “You okay? Can you walk? Should I carry you?” He asked, worrying she might not be able to walk after sitting for long.This was what James was worried about. H

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.

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.

    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.
