“What kind of deal?” Mr Curtis took a seat opposite him while Jessica stood in the corner staring at Jake, crossing arms across her chest.“Rylie, can you go back to your room?” Jake asked.“I-I am scared!” She whispered, and Jake’s eyes darted back to her.“I am here and I am not leaving you alone. Go back to your room and I’ll call you when we have to leave.” He said, and Rylie’s nanny took her away.“You can also leave if you want. This doesn’t concern you.” Jake shifted his eye to Jessica, and the latter fumed in anger, flaring her nostrils.“No, I’ll be here. I am interested to know what are you planning for my daughter,” Jessica said, taking a step forward and Jake jerked up to face Jessica.“Our daughter,” Jake countered, his eyes turned dark.“Can we talk about the deal?” Jessica’s father interrupted their heating eye contact and Jake took a deep breath, closing his eyes.He took his seat back and crossed his leg. “I have a proposition. You want to get Jessica married in an el
“Where is mummy?” Kiara asked Christian, who was sitting beside her on the bed, caressing her back while reading a book with his eyeglasses on.“She will be back soon, Kiara. Now sleep, you need to rest!” He said, his eyes pinned on the page he was reading.“But I don’t want to sleep.” Kiara pouted. “Read me this story!!” She exclaimed.“You won’t understand, sweetheart,” Christian smiled. “This story is complicated.”“Try Me!!” Kiara turned to his side.***“Warren, I don’t know if I’d ever get over him,” Mishka said and Warren deeply exhaled from the other side.“When you forgive someone, you are able to liberate yourself from the pain you hide in your heart. Remember the words you put in your first book? Where is that old Mishka?” He asked.“Somewhere died between all the scheming against her,” Mishka replied, smiling bitterly. “I am the most miserable character of my story.”“Anyway, you wanted to talk about something important? Speak up, I need to go back to Kiara.” Mishka said,
“Warren, my time is precious! Tell me, where is Scarlett?” Christian asked. He didn’t even touch the drink Warren slid in his direction.“Why are you looking for her?” Warren asked and Christian groaned before opening his mouth to explain.“Seven years back, I had an accident. I lost my memories and I don’t remember who is Scarlett to me or how we are related. But a month back, I met someone who revealed that I have a child with her and the key to unlocking this mystery is you as no one else has ever seen Scarlett. Please tell me where is she!! I beg you,” Christian said, his eyes pleading.Warren took a sip from his drink, “Scarlett was my sister,” and for a moment Christian looked puzzled.“Was?” He asked, arching his eyebrow and Warren nodded.“She found you cheating on her when she went to your office to break the pregnancy news. She was depressed and her car crashed when she rushed to meet me.” Warren said, his cold eyes staring at Christian who was looking back at him with sligh
Jessica was in her bed looking at Rylie’s pictures on her phone, smiling when she heard a knock on her door. “Come in,” She said, turning off her phone and sitting on the bed brushing her messy hair and looking at the door.“Mr Curtis is waiting for you,” The house help said.“Tell him I am busy,” Jessica said in a sluggish voice, stretching her arms.“But Sir Patrick is also present and they are waiting for you at the breakfast table.” The house help said, and Jessica yawned.“Fine, I’ll be there in ten minutes.” She said and the house help nodded, leaving her alone.“So now that Rylie is out of the picture. I think we should speed up the wedding preparations. Just last night, my grandfather was pestering me. He really likes Jessica,” Patrick said and took a sip of his coffee.“I am glad she is getting along with your family.” Mr Curtis said and Patrick smiled.“I just hope Rylie doesn’t back in our life.” He expressed his views. “I and Jessica had a lot of fights in the last few day
London,“What do you mean I can’t see him?” Luke asked the cop as he was restraining him from meeting Warren, who was under custody.“Sir, this is a high-profile case, and we have been asked to keep it confidential. I can’t allow you to meet him.” The cop said.“I want to talk to your senior,” Luke said, glaring at him, but the cop was unaffected.“Sure, Sir! But I’m afraid you’ll get the same answer.” The cop said. “We are not allowed to let anyone meet him until the investigation is over. I am sorry.” The cop said and Luke walked out frustrated. He drove back to Knight mansion and explained everything to Vera, who was over the moon as the lead could help them reach not only Eric but Mishka as well.“I don’t know where is our poor baby,” Luke said, leisurely sitting on the couch massaging his temples. “I wish at least we could find him. It’s been seven years!! Mrs Walton still calls every week to know if we found them and I am tired of giving the same answer. I still haven’t told her
Mishka tried calling Aryan several times while trying to stop a taxi, but the latter didn’t pick up her call. “Common, pick my call!” She groaned, calling him again, but no response. She was blindly running on the road while trying to book an Uber when a high-speeding car out of nowhere was about to hit her, but a hand clutched her wrist in time and yanked her back.The mobile phone slipped from Mishka’s hand and she looked at Christian, “They kidnapped Eric!! Again,” She freaked out, clutching his shirt while Christian tried to calm her down. But she jerked his hands away and picked up her phone, dialling Eric’s number, but it was turned off.“What I will do now? Where I will find him?” She ranted like a madwoman walking away from him when Christian clasped her hand and pulled her into a hug.He gently rubbed her back while she tried to get away from him. “Calm down! Calm down!” He said, his deep voice soothing her. Christian could literally feel her heartbeat against his chest, and
Riya was cutting fruits in the kitchen when someone rang the doorbell. She quickly opened the door and found an elderly woman standing outside with Ivaan.“Is she the one?” The elderly woman asked Ivaan.“Yes, Ggma!” Ivaan answered cheerfully and before Riya could register anything, the woman hugged her and showered her with the blessings in the Punjabi language while Riya gave a puzzled look to Ivaan who was busy clicking pictures.Riya led her inside and sat next to her on the couch when Nikhil walked in. “My son, I am so happy for you! You have a got a beautiful bride,” She said and Nikhil’s eyes shifted to Riya.“Grandma, she is not Mishka,” Nikhil cleared the air. “She is Mishka’s friend, Riya,” He said and Ivaan’s face dropped. “Mishka will be here soon,”Riya was embarrassed, and her cheeks heated. “I get something for everyone,” She said and walked inside the kitchen while Nikhil gazed over her before facing her grandmother.“Why are you so enthusiastic all the time?” He asked
Mr Curtis was roaming on the porch with a glass of alcohol scrolling on his phone when the news of one of the largest hotel chains in New York came into his view. His bushy eyebrows knitted as he read the article, and he was shocked to find that Christian is the new owner when he received a call.“Mr Curtis, have you heard about the latest news?” His assistant said from the other side of the call. “Christian Knight is the new owner and heir of the real owner is sentenced to jail for twenty years in the rape case,”“Just read the news. It’s shocking indeed but profitable in, either way, Christian will give new height. He is brilliant in business.” He said. “I’ll talk to you later,” Mr Curtis ended the call and, thinking about something, he dialled Christian’s number.“Hello, Mr Curtis!” Christian received his call.“Hello, Christian, how are you doing?” Mr Curtis smiled.“I am well, and I hope you’re fine. You called so late,” He said from the other side.“Oh, everything is fine. I jus
