Sometimes you don’t know when your life is going to give the answers to all your questions that have been troubling you for a long time. And it would come in the most unexpected times… somewhere you never thought to have an encounter with it.This was what happened with Viaan. Ever since he came to know that Kiara had herself bore all the expenses of Aaron’s surgery he has been in a great confusion about how she managed to get such a big amount for the surgery.Obviously, with his mind stuck on the revenge game he wasn’t letting the girl go.He had got Leo to find out the entire medical expense hospital charged them. And when he came to know it was around two million, Viaan was thrown in a pool of thoughts as well as conflict.Things have escalated quicker than he expected. From a poor helpless girl to the person paying the entire bill at once, Kiara had reflected a different side of hers.Now they were in suspicion and before they could talk more about it the present scenario had the
Seems like Kiara's fate enjoys making her suffer. The most she wants to hide something the more it comes out with intense exaggeration. This one meeting was supposed to be totally a formal business meeting and not a revelation event where she would come face to face with her nightmare these days. She gasped in shock, widening her eyes as they collided with Viaan. "Mr. Adams!" His name itself came out on her breath as she felt her inner self shivering under his gaze. His eyes penetrated her soul even from afar. She felt herself bare and exposed when Viaan scanned her top to bottom, noticing her rigid posture under his scrutiny, and smirked in the end. She shuddered visibly. Holding the table in a hard clutch, she gulped down on her own spit. Her face paled in a moment and she doesn't know how everything walks her to Viaan. It seems like the more that man is trying to know about her the more hard destiny is trying to show him. Also, the secret of her jobless status was out, eventua
Brown Corporation:-"Alright, mail me the contents, and I'll go through it," Hunter said while typing on his laptop. There was his phone lying on the table, with Robin's call received on speaker mode."Sure, Sir!" The call went disconnected, and the man focused on his screen.As the day of the charity was coming closer, Hunter’s workload intensified. He was spending a lot more time in Brown Corporation's office, working on the laptop, forgetting everything else. He had even left GRACE's work solely on Robin's shoulders. The only constant thing revolving inside his mind was the Businessman of the year award that will establish him as the most powerful CEO in the city, snatching the title from Viaan Adams. That would also be a befitting reply to his father. His course of typing broke again when a call vibrated on his phone. The man easily ignored the first few rings, but when the caller didn’t stop, he picked up his cell phone with an annoyed face to lash out at the caller. “Oh!” An
Local Hospital:- There was something more that Leo and Viaan needed to pay their attention and Viaan had left it's responsibility on Leo.He came to visit George as per their plan. Normally known of them would have minded the cement but since it was their Rivals Bodyguard. They tend to think the matter more precisely than it should be. The boss wanted to take some extra measures in keeping an eye on his Rivals. No one was an angel in the business Empire.To accompany, Mark too, joined him as he was coming here for the last two days.on the duty of keeping an eye on George. "He was reluctant on staying here. But the doctors didn't let him go." Mark informed him. Leo nodded. "Let's see what has brought him to this edge!" With that, they entered the ward and scanned the entire hall. There were around ten more patients in that enormous hall. Thick curtains separated all the beds and some extra spaces around them. Leo observed each section, and finally, the familiar one was spotted. Lo
"What??" Kiara frowned, trying to understand what he meant.An afraid Hunter of his overwhelming heart, immediately corrected his mistake. "I mean, I never have any friends or anything so you being my friend has changed many things in my life… like I've started keeping myself calm so that my friends don't get scared, otherwise you must have heard about my anger issues!" He chuckled, justifying his words nervously. Thank Goodness that she cannot look at him right now otherwise she would have definitely seen him going already in embarrassment.Scratching his nape in embarrassment, he squeezed his eyes, praying for she doesn't pick up anything more than what he reframed.Any sense of his emotions going anywhere would probably push her away. Hunter surely doesn't want that. He crossed his fingers when for three four seconds Kiara remained silent, increasing his palpitations.It was like the stars were in his favour too, he heard Kiara chuckle from the other end. The girl shook her head,
Sunday, Adams Villa:-The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. The just-risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early-morning activity. It all looks amazing specially with the ongoing season of winters that usually enhances the beauty of Elegant City. This special time of the year is one such time that is loved by every citizen living in the town and the Sunday mornings are much more special just because of this. People come out on streets and enjoy their weekends in the fuzzy weather.However this weekend in particular was a bit more hectic for Viaan unlike the other businessmen like him. For a year he had not got time for himself but ever since the start of this month that schedule has been turned into a hectic plethora of work. This sunday morning came with responsibilities more than with laziness of having a peaceful weekend. When the rest of the world was sleeping, Viaan got up at the ti
‘I’m scared, Papa! The storms are scary!’ A seven-year-old Viaan clung to his father, trembling at the loud roaring of the clouds. It was again a stormy night, pretty casual in their region. ‘When the storms would scare you, you should remember I would always protect you, my child.’ Vivian caressed his son’s face, kissing his hair. He secured his son in his warmest embrace, assuring the little scared heart. Innocent Viaan had no idea this always has an expiry date. Not even an entire decade later, The Innocent kid lost his protector. His safe embrace in the whole world. His savior, who had promised to save him from every pain and every wound. He got just of a few years in his senses with his father and the protector of his life was gone forever living him in a miserable state. As a kid, you didn't know what made God punish him so badly that he snatched his father away for ever and turned their lives upside down in a moment. It is said that a mother keeps her child in the warmth of
The desert road:-"I'm gonna kill Leo." A groan left his throat, as he glared blankly, realizing who can snitch on him. No marks for guessing he was rewarded with, though. "There's a height of snitching on." However, internally, Viaan knew why Leo must have done this, considering this is not the first time. He had been doing this ever since he joined. Ryan had strictly instructed Leo to keep him informed about Viaan, even though the man himself blabbers about everything to his best friend, Ryan had his way of knowing Viaan was safe and untroubled. Thus, from the time Leo joined Viaan's service, he had been informing Ryan whenever the man was out of town."You are not going to do anything to him, Viaan. He does what I ask him to do." Ryan's voice reverberated through the phone, making Viaan roll his eyes in nonchalance."As if I'm going to listen to you!" Mumbling the words to irritate his best friend, Viaan made up his plan to give his security head a piece of his mind.'That moron n
Writer’s POV:-Mr. Moore wiped the sweat off his forehead while waiting for the call to be received.“Hello!” The reply came as soon as the call was received.“I have done my work. 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
