“Yeah, we were just reminiscing about the past.” Danny gazed over Andrea to answer Christian. “Good old time,”Christian knitted his brows, but shrugged it off. “Okay, Andrea, be ready at eight. I’ll come to pick you up.” Christian said and looked at Danny, “Let’s go,”They left the store, leaving Andrea behind, and she stared at their retreating back. “Christian didn’t even hug me or pecked me on the cheek before leaving,” She thought about the distance between them, and Danny’s words were ringing in her head, but the next moment a store assistant appeared to help her with evening gowns.***Nikhil was in deep thought, staring out of the window, when Riya walked into his cabin to get his signature on the contract papers for their upcoming association. He signed all the papers and Riya was about to leave when he stopped her.“Come, sit for a while.” He said, and she sat, dropping the file on his desk.“Is everything alright? You seem tensed?” She said, “Do you want strong coffee?”“No
“I am already very much ashamed of what I have done, but certainly I cannot go back and correct my actions,” Lia said. “I never knew this will wreak havoc in so many lives. I just tried to claim what was once mine,”“Of course, barbie doll, you are as innocent as a new born baby,” Danny said sarcastically. “You and Christian dragged me into your mess as well and made me villain in front of grandpa Leo. He doesn’t even look at me. Fuck, why the hell you came back to his life?”“Can we please talk without you being sarcastic and I tried to tell them the truth, but they kicked me out without giving me a chance to explain. Even they didn’t trust Christian’s former assistant Ana and kicked her out as well. According to Mr. Leo Knight, we three were in Christian’s plan to trap Mishka. What’s my fault in this? I came when you called me to clear Christian’s name, but when his family isn’t ready to trust me, then what do you want me to do?” Lia shrieked, and Danny raised his eyebrows mockingly
“You said you’d never publish that book and that you wrote it to let your pain bleed through words?” Riya asked Mishka while shifting boxes into the house. “And you had no plan to tell me, right? I got to know about it through social media. Why did you do that?”“Eric and Kiara wanted to go to summer camp. Aryan and I needed to visit India, the orphanage needed some renovation, I had no other option. Kids are growing up, our expenses are increasing. I have to marry you off soon, so I gave the manuscript to Warren, a month back. How will I manage so many things at once?” Mishka said as she dropped the boxes on the floor.“Mishka!! That book holds your and Christian’s story and now the entire world is going to read it!!!! What if Christian finds out you are Scarlett?” Concern laced over Riya’s face.“As if he would care!!! Anyway, I have changed the major part in the book, just included contract marriage, his cheating, trapping me in his fake love and my exit,” Mishka said as she took o
Danny and Christian reached the jewellery store, as Christian needed to get a ring for Andrea. The store manager came to their aid and presented the gorgeous rings to them. “Why did you bring me here? I assigned Aunt Rose for all these petty jobs.” Christian said as he looked at the collection.“Oh, why? You love Andrea so much that you couldn’t wait to marry her, so you should be the one choosing a ring for her,” Danny pouted and Christian narrowed his eye at his sarcasm.“Ring size, sir,” The store manager asked.“Umm… I don…” Christian trailed off, scratching his eyebrow and Danny answered for him.“It’s N,”Christian smirked. “Looks like you still remember minor details of your ex-girlfriend. I wish I could see Maya’s face this instance,” He said and Danny rolled his orbs.“Which one, sir?” The store manager asked, showcasing the latest collection.“Which is the costliest one?” Christian gazed over the collection.“This one,” The manager pointed.“Pack this,” Christian said withou
“What do you want to eat?” Mishka narrowed her eyes at Kiara.“Chicken and Mushroom Ritoto… no, Rissoto,” She said again and Mishka scratched her eyebrow while listening to her, “Rylie’s nanny made this today for us, and I really loved it!!!” She trailed off while Mishka recalled Christian craziness with Risotto and he was up to eat at any time even if it turns cold.“Mummy, Risutu is my new favourite, it was so yummy. I’m kicking noodle out of my favourite list.” Kiara said. Her eyes were shining, describing the first experience with Risotto while scratching the wooden table with her fork.“Enough, Kiara.” Mishka screeched loudly that both Eric and Kiara flinched at her voice. “You aren’t eating that ever!! Am I clear to you?”Kiara creased her nose, “Why can’t I eat again? No… I will eat!! You don’t know how to make chicken and mushroom risotto, mummy? I can call Rylie, and her nanny will teach you.” Kiara continued to rant, and Mishka’s temperament was now at its peak, and she slam
India,Leo watched the kids of the orphanage from a distance. They looked feared watching the massive bulldozer that could ram over and demolish their orphanage at any moment.Since the time he sent the fake paper of demolition, he didn’t leave the place for once, but it was still uncertain if Mishka was alive or not, and if she was dead, then who is looking after the orphanage. His men tried their best to take the number from the caretaker that she was trying again and again, but she was a hard nut to crack. She didn’t disclose any information and continued to divert the questions.“I am sorry, kids. I know what I am doing is not right. But I am helpless and a coward to involve you all in this,” Leo thought as he stood on the stairs of the river Ganga that started to flood with pilgrims for the evening prayer.His heartbeat was racing inside his chest with every passing second and finally, tears started flowing from his eyes. “Sir, why don’t you go back to your hotel and rest for a w
“Are you alright?” Danny asked Andrea, offering his handkerchief. They were currently sitting inside his car, far away from Paparazzi.Andrea took the handkerchief and wiped her tears. “Yes,”“Honestly, I never imagined you’d let Christian go easily,” He said and Andrea chuckled. “You changed my views for you,”“This world, Danny, they judge everyone, no matter how much the other person tries to clarify themselves, but they won’t stop judging. I never wanted to take Mishka’s place in Christian’s life. I wanted to make mine. I wanted him to love me. Where is written that I can’t love the man who loves someone else, I never tried to snatch him from someone or tried to create any problem for him but all I get in return was judgemental eyes, Daniel called me second woman, Grandpa Leo didn’t even look at me, and Christian’s mom, well her looks were readable. What wrong did I do? I am not obsessed with Christian, damn it!!! Why they treated me like that?” Andrea said, her eyes filled with t
“I mean, do I know you?” Eric corrected himself as a blurred memory of someone like Christian crossed his mind.Christian stared at the boy for a few moments. “I don’t think so. Maybe you saw me in any newspaper or on social media.” Christian was as confused as Eric, as his deep blue eyes were reminding him of someone.“Risotto is here,” The assistant came into the view and settled three plates on the centre table.“It’s Ritoto time!!” Kiara exclaimed and all three of them settled on the couch when Eric sneezed a few times.“Change your clothes before you catch a cold. We will wait for you, right, Kiara?” Christian asked, and she agreed with him. While Eric couldn’t understand why he was feeling a pull toward Christian, he meekly picked up his travel bag and left for his room to change clothes and quickly came back to join them.Kiara tried to serve Risotto to Christian, but he took the serving spoon from her and served on the three plates, while Eric continued to stare at him, trying
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
