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
Leo glanced at his wristwatch. “Christian must have been married by now.” He took a long breath, watching the waves. “The story finally ended.”“Sir, there is no update yet,” A man said to Leo. “I created panic among them, giving them last one hour, but what are our orders after that? Surely, we aren’t going to ram the building, right?” The man asked in an uncertain voice while Leo was in deep thought.Initially, Leo gave her three days so that she can reach from wherever in the world within the timeframe, he didn’t want her to rush in panic, but now the passing moments were panicking him as the thought of her death news crossing his mind now and then as now the timeframe was coming to an end.“Tell them to empty the orphanage and ask the driver to start the engine,” Leo stated. The men standing near him were in shock.“But, sir, there are so many kids, including infants….” The man tried to explain, but Leo glared at him.“Just do as I say. Tell them to leave the orphanage and ask the
London,Jake opened the door of the Mathew House and it was all dark and filled with dust. He walked inside the house, looking around at everything, remembering old times. He, to date, regrets killing his father, but he knew if he didn’t kill him that day, he’d have created more trouble for everyone and more lives could be at stake.He picked the photo frame from the side table and remove dust to look at their family pictures and kept it back in its place. He moved around in his house with a heavy heart and finally reached his room where he spent most of his time.He sat on his bed quietly for a few minutes and then moved to open his closet, retrieving a box that held pictures of him and Jessica, he looked at their childhood pictures and a surreal smile appeared on his face when his eyes landed on the small red velvet box in his drawer. He picked up the box and opened it only to find the couple rings they purchased together.He touched the diamond of the ring with his thumb and closed
“Are you ready, Tistan?” She asked, and Christian nodded with his eyes closed. “Okay, open your eyes,” She said and Christian almost shrieked loudly as his heart picked race watching the scene before him.“Kiara!!” Christian shouted and the next moment Kiara dived into the ten feet bowl on her skateboard while Christian rushed to the edge of the bowl but Eric held him back.“Just watch her! Don’t go near or she’ll lose her focus.” He said and Christian stopped, but he could feel his heart pounding inside his chest as he watched Kiara performing Blunt to Fakie tricks in the bowl where the back truck of the skateboard is placed over the lip of the ramp and the tail is placed on the lip, appearing like a stationary blunt stall. A small Ollie is then performed to come off the lip and ride back down the ramp in fakie.“Please, don’t do Frontside Air, Kiara!! You have already impressed Christian enough,” Eric prayed silently while watching Kiara pumping up as she was going up the ramp and Er
Berlin,Jake wore a black matte suit with a white shirt underneath. He wore his wristwatch and looked at himself in the mirror for a last time when his eyes fell on the red velvet box on the side table.He took it in his hand and gazed at the rings. “I don’t know why I failed to recognise that you were my soulmate.” He grazed the ring with his thumb. “You suffered a lot because of me, Jessica. I rejected you two times, but this time, I promise I’ll prove my love for you. This time, I am here for you.”He closed the box and slid it inside his pant pocket, exhaling deeply before leaving his suite. He reached the banquet hall and walked around, looking for Jessica desperately, but he didn’t find her anywhere.Defeated, he reached the bar. “A gin martini,” He ordered the bartender and rubbed his stubble, exhaling sharply while looking down.“Here,” The bartender slid the drink in his direction and Jake bottoms up, the bitterness burned his throat. He wiped his tears and ordered another dr
Berlin,“I am sorry,” Jake said as he took a step forward in her direction.“Stop there,” Jessica pointed her index finger in his direction. “Don’t try to come any closure!!”“Please, Jessica!! Give me a chance to explain myself,” Jake came forward despite her warning and Jessica could see him clearly.She smirked. “You look gloomy. Did your sweetheart reject you for Christian again?” She said, but the next moment, completely to her surprise, Jake kissed her against the railing of the balcony. She tried hard to push him back, but the more she tries to resist, the more passionately Jake kissed her, and finally, Jessica gave in.She clutched his coat, pulling him close to her, their chest was flushing against each other as Jake caged her between his brawny arms. “All my gloominess is because of you,” He said in a husky voice and kissed her again. Jessica regained her composure as she recalled how he mistreated her in the past and she pursed her lips tightly with tears streaming down her
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
