NEW YORK,Mishka was sitting on the calabah swing on the balcony. She was thinking about something with her eyes pinned on the stars in the sky when Riya appeared with two cups of coffee and placed them on the table in front of her.“Don’t think so much,” Riya slid into the chair next to her and Mishka smiled.“Kiara slept?” She asked.“Yeah, after a lot of drama,” Riya replied as she handed her the cup of coffee and Mishka silently took a small sip. “What are you thinking about?” Riya asked.“I am trying really hard to manage my personal and professional life, but sometimes I feel I am failing to be a good mom to them,” Mishka said, and a tear escaped from her eyes that she tried to hide. “I took Kiara away from Christian, but do I really deserve her? She isn’t happy with me at all.”“What rubbish are you talking about? Kiara is so small, it’s just she doesn’t understand your ways sometimes,” Riya said and Mishka glared at her. “Okay, most of the time,” Riya corrected.“But that does
Christian walked out of the club and looked around, but nobody familiar was in sight. He took furious steps forward to check and heard some sounds from the empty alley. He rushed there and was shocked to find Daniel on the road while two boys were beating him.“Hey!!! Leave him,” He shouted, running to them and both the boys ran away in opposite direction, leaving Daniel on the road. Christian reached to Daniel and cupped his face. “Daniel, wake up.” He tried to wake him up, and the latter opened his eyes in a half drowsy state with a smile.“Hello, Chris bro!” He said and closed his eyes again. Christian helped him to stand back on his feet and called his chauffeur to bring the car, completely forgetting about Andrea.***Andrea exited the club and was trying to stop a taxi as her phone was dead to call her chauffeur when Danny stopped his car. He rolled down the window and looked at Andrea. “Come, I’ll drop you.” He said and Maya tried to peek at the person he was offering the ride
New York,The next morning, Kiara woke up and stared at her Mummy, who was caressing her forehead lovingly. “Did I sleepwalk again?” She creased her nose, finding herself in Mishka’s room and Mishka laughed, looking at her expressions.She nodded. “I told you to sleep with me, but you wanted your separate room and a separate bed.” She said, tucking a curly strand of hair behind her ear while Kiara turned the other direction and tried to get away from her, but Mishka clutched her small waist and pulled her back to her.“Let me go, I am not talking to you!” She said in a grumpy voice. “You always scold me for no reason.”“Kiara, I wasn’t scolding you. Okay, I am sorry! I’ll not raise my voice again,” Mishka said, and Kiara looked back at her with a winning smile on her face.“You will take me to India then.” She tried her luck again and earned a glare in return.“I took you to India when you were a small baby. The climate there doesn’t suit you.” Mishka and a look of disappointment cros
FIFTEEN DAYS LATER,An oxygen mask was removed from Christian’s mouth, there was a slow recovery in his health. One fine morning, Vera was sleeping on the couch inside Christian’s room when she heard him shouting and her eyes flicked open.“What are you doing here?” Christian spat furiously, his cold eyes pinned at Vera, and he tried to step down from the bed, removing the needle of the drip from the back of his hand.The blood started oozing and Vera rushed to him, and Christian looked at her, flabbergasted, as he couldn’t believe that she could walk on her two feet. “Stop!! Stay away from me, don’t come any closer,” He screeched loudly and Vera’s step halted.Christian pressed the switch near his bed and a nurse came in. He pulled a long face. “Drive this woman out right now!!! If I get to see her here again, I’ll burn down your hospital.” He shouted at the nurse. Hate was dripping from his eyes for Vera, who watched him, stunned.The nurse politely asked Vera to exit, but Vera cont
New York,“What happened, Nikhil?” Riya asked as soon as she entered his cabin.“That fucking lawyer isn’t picking up my calls or replying to my messages.” He spat furiously, “I went to his office, but he isn’t there and his assistant doesn’t know about his whereabouts.” He threw the chair on the nearby wall and Riya flinched.“Control yourself, Nikhil!” She said, her wide eyes pinned at him.“I WILL BE DOOMED, Riya!!!” He screeched loudly, sitting back on his desk. “I have worked my ass off to reach this position. I can’t lose like this.”Riya squeezed his shoulder. “Relax, Nikhil! Don’t lose your calm.”“And your friend, I don’t know what her problem is. I offered her money, double the sum I am paying to this lawyer, but she refused to take my case. I mean, why the fuck she can’t take cases which have media attention?” He continuously ranted and Riya stood there blankly, without uttering a single word.Nikhil gazed at her, “What!! Why aren’t you saying anything?” He asked and his mob
New York,"DROP THIS CASE OR ELSE YOU WON’T LIKE THE CONSEQUENCES"Mishka read the text from the private number and smirked, “Bloody cowards!” She muttered, slamming her mobile on the desk and her assistant flinched.“What’s wrong?” She asked, peeking into her mobile, and her eyes went wide.“Omg! The threatening message again? This is the third time since you’ve taken this rape and murder case,” the Assistant said and Mishka rubbed her face.“They think I’ll back out,” She smirked, wearing her eyeglasses back when she heard her assistant saying.“You really should!”Mishka knitted her brows, “What?? You can’t be serious!! I will not leave this case at any cost,” She declared.“This case is getting media attention day by day. Will you take risk appearing at the court?” The assistant asked and Mishka wandered back in the memories when she saw Christian’s picture with Andrea.“He has moved on! I don’t need to worry if they find out about me. But what if they try to take Kiara,” Mishka w
Luke was waiting for William in his office when his assistant informed him about the latter’s arrival and the next minute William walked in. “Hey!” Luke greeted.“Hey!!” Willian took a seat opposite him and sighed.“What would you like to have?” Luke asked.“Tea,” William said, and Luke ordered two cups of tea through the intercom.“So what was so urgent that you wanted to meet me today?” Luke asked and William forwarded the file.Luke took the file from him. “What’s this?” He opened the file and his eyes went wide.“You got the land deal!!!” He said and William gave a proud smile.“Impressive, I was waiting to crack this land deal, but you won, Congratulations!” He said, closing the file giving it back to him. “This calls for a celebration.”William nodded. “But I am not here to show you my success. I am here to make an amazing deal.” William said, and Luke knitted his eyebrows.“What deal?” He asked in an uncertain voice.“That day I heard your and Vera’s conversation in the study r
It was a lunch break at the school when Eric came to meet Kiara in the junior wing and found her sitting alone on the bench in the garden. Eric noticed Kiara’s unhappy face and sat beside her. “What’s wrong?” He asked, “Mom refused to give you a personal phone?” Kiara nodded with a downward curve on her lips, “But that’s not what I am thinking about,” She said. “So what is it? You fought with someone again?” He asked with an amused expression on his face and Kiara darted her eyes in his direction. “Come on, Big B!! You’re saying as if I only fight with everyone. You all are so bad,” She pouted, looking away, her eyes turned misty and Eric found something wrong with her as it’s difficult to make his sister cry. “Hey... Hey!! What happened? Did anyone say something to you? Look here,” He said, but when she didn’t respond, he changed his position, and came to sit on the other side of the bench and forced her to look at him. “What happened?” He asked. “Where is our daddy?” She snappe
To begin with, my debut novel is finally completed. I’d like to thank each and everyone who loved MY INDIAN WIFE right from its inception. The book is nowhere near perfect. It has grammatical errors, mistakes, and typos, but despite all the shortcomings, the love and support I’ve received from you all are heart-warming and something I’ll always cherish. Now that this story has reached its conclusion, it's time for Christian and Mishka to say goodbye. But goodbye doesn’t always mean the end. I’ll come back sometime later with Eric and Kiara’s standalone books. The spin-off of ‘My Indian Wife.’ But till then, you are welcome to join my other book "Billionaire's Mistress Is A Hidden Heiress' to experience the other shades of love. Again, a big thank you for giving a chance to my book! I never thought I’d come this far, but you all made it possible. If you liked this story, please leave a review to help the book reach new readers. Goodbye is boring so until we meet again, Sayonara!!
“If everyone is sitting together with tears in their eyes and Pasha is reading out this letter, then I am sure Rosella has finally decided to see me and it also confirms that I have fulfilled her last wish. Today, my kids are together, not only under the same roof, but they are together with all their hearts and soul. My kids are stubborn but responsible. I never wanted to be a controlling father. I believed in giving wings to children and letting them decide the direction where they’d like to fly. But when Rosella passed away, I had to take this responsibility up on my sleeves to keep you three together. Luke and Rony, you both have been the strong pillar of this family, and for Berry, I’ll give her a benefit of the doubt because she was greatly influenced by Dan. The man who left no stone unturned to destroy this family, yet we are still together like one big happy family.” “Vera and Rose, my two beautiful daughters. All I can say is thank you for everything you two have done for th
A month later,Leo was walking alone in the garden looking over the Knight mansion, and the day when he married Rosella, the twenty-one year old stubborn girl, who had her way to make anyone surrender to her demands.She was sometimes even more stubborn and childish than their three kids and most of the time, Luke, Rony and Berry had to act mature and pamper her, especially Luke, their eldest son.Leo’s old eyes travelled to the musical water fountain in the middle of the garden, and soft music reminded him of Rosella. It was Rosella’s idea, and they used to spend evening tea in the garden while enjoying the soothing instrumental music.“Dadu!” Mishka came beside him and wrapped her arm around his shoulder, and she found him crying. “Why are you crying?” She cupped his cheek, trying to look at him. “Are you not feeling well?”“No, I am fine… am good,” He answered looking up at her, but Mishka wasn’t convinced.“Let’s sit, come.” She took him to the bench near the water fountain and Le
Maya bagged projects after projects and it just took her less than nine months to climb the stairs of fame again and become one of the most expensive models in London. Soon the media highlighted her interview where her struggles, horrifying past with the CEO of the modelling agency leaving marks on her and her powerful comeback were mentioned. She became an influencing personality overnight and Danny became a role model and ideal husband material for many girls. He was always spotted in Maya’s every fashion show and modelling shoot for cover pages to cheer his wife.***Christian was pacing outside the emergency. Nikhil could understand his anxiety as he suffered from the same, the last night. “Calm down! She will be fine,” Nikhil patted his back.“I told her not to take the risk,” Christian shook his head as he recalled the words of the doctor.Flashback“Was she a drug addict before?” The doctor asked Christian in private.“No!! She was never been a drug addict. What’s wrong?” Chris
In the fifth month of pregnancy,In the middle of the night, Mishka woke up, finding the space next to her on the bed empty. She sat on the bed and her sleepy eyes scanned the room, stopping at the door of the balcony. She yawned, stepped down from the bed and walked to the balcony.Christian was smoking, standing against the railing facing the opposite direction, and Mishka came to stand next to him. “Why do you smoke so much?” She asked, and Christian quickly crushed the cigarette under his foot, waving off the smoke.“Are you okay? Do you need something?” He asked, and Mishka nodded.“You!” She smiled. “They can’t sleep without you being close to them" Mishka gestured to her belly. "And I can’t sleep without your arms around me.”Christian smiled, his hand caressed her protruding belly. “I am sorry for waking you up!” He said. “Let’s go!” He held her hand, and they walked inside. Christian opened his arms and Mishka put her on his arm, covering them with a quilt.She put her on his
“So what was so urgent?” Christian asked, taking a sip of his coffee.“Jennifer is back!” Sean, the officer, told Christian and the latter’s hand stopped in the midway, staring at him.“I came for a conference a month back and I saw a glimpse of her. I wasn’t sure so didn’t inform you but I met her a few days back!” Sean said, but Christian abruptly cut him off.“I want to see her!” He firmly stated.“But she doesn’t want to meet any member of the Knight family,” Sean said.“It doesn’t matter. She is back with a purpose and I’ll not let her ruin anyone this time!” He said and Sean sighed comfortably sitting on the couch.“The first thing I did after regaining my memories was to find her. Jennifer holds a hell of a lot of secrets of the Knight family. She joined hands with Dan to split my parents. She tried to drug mom, and she is definitely up to something this time, but not again!!” Christian said.“Okay! I’ll see if I can arrange a meeting.” Sean said.“Just when everything falls in
Ivaan was looking at the family portrait Mishka gifted to Leo on his seventieth birthday, when Kiara came to stand next to him. “My mummy made this!!” She said proudly.“Hmm,” Ivaan nodded and turned to face her. “Your mom is an amazing cook, an intelligent lawyer, a wonderful painter, and a bestselling writer too.” He said, and a dimpled smile stretched on Kiara’s face. “But I don’t understand. Why are you so stupid?” He asked and Kiara’s face instantly dropped.“What do you mean?” She glared at him with hands on her hips.“I don’t believe you’re her daughter. I mean, you can’t walk straight without tripping, you don’t know how to paint, you fumble with words and let’s not talk about cooking!” He said and Kiara flared in anger, looking around to throw something at him.“Let’s go!” Riya appeared to take them to the church, and as Kiara turned to her, she tripped again, but Riya saved her from falling.“Kiara!! Why are you wearing heels?” Riya asked, looking at her two inches butterfly
Danny stood at the altar beside the priest in a black three-piece suit with a white shirt underneath. His hair was pulled back with a gel and he glanced at his watch, waiting for his bride. Standing next to him was his best man, Christian, in a shining white suit and he fixed his bow tie. “Nervous?” He smirked.“I don’t know!” Danny muttered.“It happens,” Christian patted his back, and they stood side by side when Maya appeared holding her father’s arm. She was wearing a sweetheart neckline wedding gown that fitted bodices through the waist and cascaded out towards the ground, resembling the outline of an uppercase with a shower bouquet that gracefully spills over the bride’s hands as it flows downward for a sophisticated and stylized look.As she walked elegantly in his direction, she noticed Danny wiping tears from his eyes, smiling in her way. The dream they broke seven years back was welcoming them with open arms today. Tear blurred Maya’s eyes as well when her father, Mr Ramirez
After a long day at work, Jake was standing on his balcony with coffee and recalled his life.Dan and Berry’s continuous drudgery to show him the perfect heir of Knights, his disturbing relationship with Christian, Diana’s untimely death that pushed him to psychological help, the hardest part of his life when Mishka married Christian, breaking up with Jessica twice, going behind the bars for punishing the bad though till date he regretted killing his dad and wished Dan didn’t force him to take this brutal step but then, an unborn child lost his life because of his scheming.He took a sip of his coffee when Rylie appeared beside him. “Dad, why did you let mom go away?” She asked. It’s been seven days since Jessica shifted to another apartment and Jake didn’t stop her. Because it seemed right to him. They both were emotionally injured and needed time to heal, so parting ways was the only option that seemed right.“Your mom wasn’t happy here?” He said, pulling her close to him and wrappi
