CEO's Hidden Marriage Eavesdropping
Viaan's POV:-"Yeah, okay, I'll keep that in mind, Ryan." I heard Kiara speaking to Ryan in a hushed tone and my legs stopped involuntarily right at the threshold. My brows knitted down instantly even before I realised. I didn't want to eavesdrop on her conversation but the mention of Ryan in there had me puzzled.They are on a call? Didn't I just tell him that I'll call if I need something? Then how come they are talking right now? A series of questions instantly wrapped my head around it and I couldn't help but feel something weird in my heart. Already the image, of Ryan holding Kiara like that, from last evening had made me have an unsettling feeling in my guts. The protectiveness Ryan had in his body language was still messing up my mind. I don't know why I am behaving like a possessive bastard around Kia ever since we took our relationship to the next level. Take last evening's incident as an example: Ryan accompanying Kiara here was pretty normal. Then why the hell did I see
CEO's Hidden Marriage What was the urgency?
Mr. Miller's Restaurant:-"Viaan, my boy!" He pushed his chair and greeted me with a warm hug, as usual. "My apologies for keeping you waiting, Sir!" I said when we broke the hug. "No big deal, young man. Besides, I came a bit early. You are exactly on time!" He said.Neil shook hands with him and so I did with Richard, his assistant."Fancy to meet you again, Mr. Adams!" His lips curved into a bright smile as we greeted each other."Same here, Richard!" I said, patting his hand."Come, let's have a seat!" We heard Mr. Miller interrupt us.I turned to him, nodding my head. We sat down in our respective seats.After some moments passed, Mr. Miller initiated the conversation."So, young man, tell me how is life going on?" He looked at me with a certain kind of gleam."Apart from the hectic business meetings, great!" I replied politely. "And I hope you and Mrs. Miller are doing good, too!" Mr. Miller laughed gently and shook his head. "Yes, with Sally, life seems good, even at this ag
CEO's Hidden Marriage A proposal?
"So, what was the urgency you mentioned on the call, Sir?" Keeping my tone professional I asked. I had enough of beating around the bush and had given him enough time to reveal the matter to me. But, as we can all I am getting since the moment I stepped here is some strange as hell special treatment for no fucking reason. And I'm not a very patient man in the matter of business and profession.Mr. Miller has stopped eating immediately. His fingers stilled, holding the fork as it is a few inches above the plate, as he raised his head to look at me. I can see confusion in his eyes before he realized what I was talking about and then the confusion was replaced with a kind of amazement as if I said something that was unheard. It was surprisingly unexpected to me considering I repeated his words from the call only.There was an uncertainty swirling in his old eyes as he opened his mouth and sighed audibly. "I'm sorry that I confused you with my words, Viaan. It was not urgent but importan
CEO's Hidden Marriage Lucrative offer
Viaan's POV:-"I'm proposing my niece, Evelyn's, marriage with you!" Miller Miller revealed, emphasizing the word marriage. The early restlessness on his face vanished as he breathed deeply the next moment. This was all the build-up he was doing since then? To propose marriage to Miss Evelyn? I sat stunned. My eyes, I'm sure, widened like saucers and my jaw almost dropped to the floor. I felt my mind going into a state of sudden numbness as I kept staring at his face; too dumbfounded to respond yet.Seconds must have ticked by as I felt a hand on my wrist, shaking it lightly."Viaan?" Mr. Miller called me, concerned. "You hear what I said? Why are you so quiet?" He asked, squeezing my palm.My eyes traveled to my hands and then back at him. The state of numbness was replaced with waves of thoughts. My mind dived deeper into obvious questions. So, this is why he arranged all these delicacies and special treatment for me out of the blue! And that's why he was behaving so strangely e
CEO's Hidden Marriage Rude?
Writer's POV:-Mr. Miller's restaurant:-"You think this lucrative offer can make me reconsider my decision?" I asked smugly, keeping the paper down."Absolutely! It is an undeniable offer, after all!" Claimed Mr. Miller, frowning deeply.I let out a dry, mocking chuckle before pushing the paper back at him. "Trust me it is not even one percent of what could make me change my mind." I sat leaning in the chair, giving him a confident look. His mouth hung open wide, as I'm sure he didn't expect that answer from me.If he thinks he can make me reconsider my words by offering half of his business along with the infinite luxury he wrote in this paper, then this old man has no connoisseur's eyes for real qualities."Did you read it carefully?" Mr. Miller stared at me, then at the paper, and drew his eye back at my face, asking calmly.Though I can't read his expressionless face this time, I'm sure he is pissed off with the way I questioned his offer. I knew he was going to ask this questi
CEO's Hidden Marriage To Rectify
Hunter's POV:-"I am free when you are free!" I flirted like the old times, catching her off guard. "What?" Her jaws dropped upon hearing me."You heard me, pretty lady!" I winked at her, just like I always used to do to make her giggle in the past days."Pretty lady…" she whispered and her eyes widened in a fraction of a second as the realization dawned upon her. It was the situation like a light bulb lit over her head, the way she was looking at me.She finally understood my behavior; that I was not talking to her as her boss right now but as her friend who used to make her laugh and blush with my jokes. And to tell you the truth, I enjoyed the speechless expression etched on her face. "You really called me that?" She asked, in disbelief."Yes, pretty lady, I really call you that!" I chuckled, shaking my head. She gasped in response.I couldn't help but admire her face secretly. How cute she looks with her eyes widened like a deer staring at something new and exciting, even when
CEO's Hidden Marriage I Would Never Force You
Viaan's POV:-"With due respect, I don't mean to be rude to you, Sir. But you and perhaps Miss Evelyn, too, need to understand that this union is not possible. No matter how much you try to convince me, my answer would remain the same. I can never think of Miss Evelyn as anything other than a business associate." I cleared my point politely as he thought I'm being rude to him.He stayed silent for a moment before revealing something."Viaan, now that you already mentioned her, I would not lie to you. I already knew you would not accept this offer, but because of Evelyn's request, I had to offer you something that I, too, would never want you to accept." His tone was dead serious as he said that, making my brows shot up in surprise. “What?” that came out louder than I expected. "You don't want me to accept your offer?" "Yes, you heard correctly. I don't want you to accept my offer." He confirmed, nodding affirmatively. He sat there, unfazed, as if he said the easiest words ever. But
CEO's Hidden Marriage Proud of you
"I noticed how you didn't appreciate her advances. And that's why I promised myself that although, because of my love for Evelyn, I have to put this forward, I would never force you into this commitment. No matter how much she requests!” he took a deep breath, finishing his words. I stared at him silently for a few good minutes. Soon all his words started making sense in my mind. A wave of relief and annoyance washed off me altogether.Relief for the fact that he had thankfully observed my disinterest in his niece, and made up his mind beforehand to not force me into this. But the annoyance was for the reality that despite knowing this he was still trying to convince me.Taking a sharp breath, I let my annoyance take over. "If that was the case then why did you put on this extravagant show?" I asked, pointing to the delicacies on the table. "Is this also a bribe to me?" My words sounded mocking, even though I didn't wish it to.His eyes widened in a second and he shook his head fever

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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Now give my thing back
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Our dream
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Dramatic narration
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Neil spilled the bean already?
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Paradis d'Amour was finally mine!
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Influence
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage Time
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
CEO's Hidden Marriage The time has come, Kiara
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
