*Flashback continues*

“Is this… is this all your planning?” He asked, wondering loudly as an inaudible gasp escaped his lips.

Kiara’s brows furrowed in confusion, her mind racing to comprehend his words. Before she could respond, the door swung open, revealing an enraged Thomas standing at the threshold. His voice thundered through the room, filling it with anger and hostility.

“You bastard! How dare you come here?” Thomas roared, his eyes burning with fury as he glared at Viaan and Kiara. In just a few strides, he closed the distance between them, his presence intimidating. The room seemed to shrink under the weight of his rage.

“You two have reached the height of shamelessness!” Thomas spat venomously, his gaze shifting between Viaan and Kiara. The intensity of his words sent a shiver down Kiara’s spine, her fear gripping her tightly.

Viaan looked at Thomas with exasperation, his face a mix of frustration and defiance.

“No worries, Thomas. We’re just about to get rid of their shamel

    *Flashback Continues*"Do you, Viaan Adams, willingly accept Kia Erin as your lawfully wedded wife?" Viaan's blood surged with anger at the pastor's words. The words echoed in his mind, intensifying his internal turmoil. He desperately wanted to shout a resounding "No" and escape from this nightmare, but he knew the consequences would be dire. His eyes fell on Thomas, who was standing just a few feet away from the stage where they stood for vows.Thomas shook the file lightly, indicating to Viaan what he could do if the young man went against him. The next moment Viaan saw him eyeing his men, who were now four in number, positioned discreetly behind him.Before he could comprehend, he felt something pressing against his spine. One of the men had pressed a gun against Viaan's back. They had strategically positioned themselves so that no one in the audience would suspect a thing. Viaan's fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white as he grappled with the reality of his situation

    *Present time*The Press Conference:-“This, ladies and gentlemen, is the marriage license the pastor made them sign,” Kiara’s voice quivered with a mix of frustration and anger. “And I’m sure each one of you must be familiar with it as for the past two days, this document has been circulating on the internet, fueling speculation and judgment. But let me shed some light on the truth.” Kiara’s hands trembled slightly as she held up the marriage license for all to see, but the rage in her voice was too boiling to burn everyone.The reporters, stunned after hearing the other side of the story, came out of their shock when they saw Kiara holding the paper for them. Now the entire situation was too nonplussed for anyone to believe what Thomas claimed that day. They also started rethinking their rash behavior towards Viaan for two days where none of a single media company left behind in blaming and questioning him.They, who had been quick to judge Viaan and question his character, now lean

    On cue, a reporter, after a self-debated asked what was going on in her mind. “Miss, you said, Mr. Adams got angry at Kia and blamed her for planning it all. Then what happened after that? Did Mr. Adams take Kia with him after routing her?”As she completed, Kiara’s ears perked up. She had a sudden blank expression morphing on her face. Her eyes darkened. She had purposely skipped the part where Viaan had threatened her before taking her along with him because revealing that would put more disgrace on Viaan’s name.“Yes, he took her with him, but as I said, he was angry at her and Kia was feeling guilty, so she asked him to stop the car. Feeling guilty, she decided it’s better to get down and not to trouble Mr. Adams more.” Kiara skillfully omitted the part where Viaan insulted her and kicked her out of the car in the middle of the deserted road.“Thus, when she asked him to stop the car and told him her decision, he let her go!” She can’t let them hate Viaan anymore. And, honestly, s

    Writer’s POV:-“Because she is!” Their ears perked up with the strong masculine voice that came from behind Kiara. Their heads snapped in the direction when they saw Viaan coming up the stage. “She is my wife,” Viaan said, looking at them, then she glanced at Kiara and announced. “She is Kiara Viaan Adams!”The media was already going crazy to interview Viaan that revelations, so when they heard Viaan’s voice the entire hall turned silent. But what they didn’t know in their curiousness was the bomb he just dropped.As soon as his words reverberated in the large hall, the media people had their jaws dropped to the floor. An evident mix of shock and surprise washed over their faces.“What?” That came out in chorus as everyone sitting over there gasped at the same time.The secret wife of Viaan Adams, the woman they had all been talking about and asking for two days was finally sitting before them for the last hour, narrating the story of the most talked about hidden marriage herself, an

    “We had decided to get divorced; the papers were also ready. But in the coming days, some circumstances and things happened which ultimately changed our minds.” Viaan felt Kiara’s hand on his and intertwined their fingers as he explained. “That’s when we decided to give our relationship one chance!” His words reverberated through the crowd of people, making them astonished at his admission.With a fond gaze, Kiara tightened her grip on their conjoined fingers, making Viaan do the same.Ryan, Leo, Maya, and Rachel backstage smiled at his confession, knowing exactly when and how Viaan had a change of heart that led them to their acceptance of their conjugal bond.“Even though those circumstances were the worse of all, and not even our enemies should face what she went through, I am still thankful to god. For, had it all not happened, they wouldn’t have reconsidered their relationship again.” Leo exhaled a breath of relief as he said that.“Indeed. Now that I look at the broader way, no

    “Because of me. I asked him not to.” This time Kiara took it upon herself to answer. She held the mic close and replied. “It’s not even two months, and due to some apprehensions, it was me only, who had asked Viaan not to disclose our relationship. That’s why he didn’t announce.” Her polite yet confident resonated through the hall as she made sure they all get her words clearly.“Also, since Viaan had some major projects and the awards campaign going on, I didn’t want to burden him with the pressure of publicizing our relationship, especially when it is still in the budding stage. I wanted to give us some time… some time to get adjusted to this new equation so that we could understand each other well. That’s why I suggest he not disclose it.”Sarah, the reporter, narrowed her eyes at Kiara and asked smugly. “So, is this all yet the part of the deal that you are clearing his name, or is it—”Kiara held her hand up, interrupting her question.“No, as we said, we didn’t go on with the di

    “Who is it, Mr. Adams? Please be precise.”The moment was finally here when Viaan would avenge his sufferings. With a determination flashing in his blazing eyes, he replied, revealing the name. “The brand new Businessman of the Year: Mr. Hunter Brown!”His straight revelation gained gasps from around the conference hall.Viaan scanned everyone’s faces, noticing the shocked lines drawn over them. He sat with a firm expression on his face, knowing things were going as he planned.Exposing Hunter was the second main reason for conducting this early morning press meet. And he did as planned.Whereas for the reporters, it was nothing less than pure shock. Viaan taking Hunter’s name as the mastermind behind his personal and professional disaster was beyond anyone’s thinking. No one would have seen this coming. Viaan exposes Hunter’s name as the mastermind of the problem Viaan is facing in the press conference.“Mr. Brown?” The reporters asked in shock.“Yes, Mr. Hunter Brown is the mastermi

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?
