Mishka was sitting on the stairs for a really long time. The guilt was eating her up, but some questions in her mind were still making her doubt Christian.She didn’t know if she should believe what she was hearing now or believe what she saw years ago. Yet, undoubtedly she was at fault and she knew it. She should have listened to the sane voice who always barked at her to have a freaking conversation with him and confront him about why he cheated on her.But the fear if she could stand him confessing that he cheated on her always stopped her and she regrets it now. “Are you alright?” Danny came to sit beside her and patted her back softly.“Yeah,” She muttered, looking down at the stairs.“I understand how you must be feeling. We, lawyers, don’t trust anyone easily. You closed all your lawyer instincts and trusted him blindly. Never doubted his intentions about you, suffered through hell and then one day, you get to know he cheated on you and it was all facade. Everything that happen
As Mishka and Kiara stepped out of the emergency ward, Kiara ran into Aryan’s arm and he picked her up in his arms.“What happened?” He asked Kiara, rubbing her back while she wrapped her arms around his shoulder, slightly shivering.Ivaan walked behind Aryan. He glanced up at her and found her making faces, sobbing quietly, looking back at him. Ivaan extended his hand in her direction, but she just stared at his hand and made no attempt to touch him.Ivaan retrieved his hand back and took out a bar of her favourite chocolate from his pant pocket. He extended his hand in her direction and this time, Kiara put her hand into his and Ivaan clutched it softly, giving a reassuring smile, kissing the back of her hand.***It was late evening and Maya was dead worried about Danny, he wasn’t home since the last night nor picked up his calls. She called his assistant and Pasha, and they too had no idea about his whereabouts. At last, it was only Andrea left, with whom he was close for the last
“Why can’t we meet Eric and Kiara? Sometimes, I don’t understand your son!!” Luke shrieked, sitting on the couch. Vera, too, wasn’t in support of this decision, but because Christian has decided, she was going to support him blindly without a question.“He must’ve had something in his mind. I don’t know!! Why he is doing this, but let’s patiently wait like we have waited for seven years.” Vera said.“Kiara looks like you!” Luke pointed. “How can you resist meeting her?”“I can’t!! But let’s not overwhelm the kids. Let Christian handle the situation his way. He clearly knows the kids better than us.” Vera said. “And Kiara isn’t going to like you, anyway!” She further added, smirking, and Luke snapped his eyes in her direction. “The way you behaved with her mom!”“You should’ve stopped me!” He said, looking away. “You all spoiled my image before her,”“Really?” Vera raised her eyebrow. “You charged at her and when I tried to stop you…. you were like NO! LET ME SPEAK!! So now suffer the
Christian was talking to Jake, explaining to him everything since the beginning. “It was not like I was cheating on her or had no plans to tell her. I just never got the right moment.” Christian said.“When she woke up from the coma, I didn’t even wait for a day and invited Lia so that I could explain everything to her and get over this guilt but she was suffering from depression and how could I tell her ‘Mishka, I was in love with Lia and planned to divorce you right after our first anniversary, and get back with her, but I’m confessing this now because I have changed my plan.’ Christian sighed. “The level of insanity she showed on the island and later, I wasn’t even sorry for hiding this from her.” He said.Jake rubbed his face, taking a deep breath. “This is so unfortunate. I guess the foundation of your relationship was off beam since the beginning. You both started on the wrong note. Just like me and Jessica, both the times I got engaged to her under immense pressure from dad and
Jake went to Jessica’s place to enquire about her, but the guards didn’t let him go inside, following Mr Curtis’s order. Jake called Mr Curtis standing at their gate and ignoring his calls five times, the latter finally picked his call.“Mr Curtis, let me in,” Jake said, sounding serious.“Get lost!! I don’t want to see your face.” He screeched loudly from the other side.“Do you want to lose the project and the fortune you’ve invested already?” Jake said. He was slowly losing his patience. “Open the damn gate. Let me in!” He shrieked loudly and ended the call. The next minute, security guards opened the gate for him. The house helper opened the door for him and he spotted Mr Curtis chugging on his drinks at the bar.He slightly turned to face, completely drunk, and his eyes were heavy. “I hope the concern is about the business.” He said, his voice sluggish.“Where is Jessica?” Jake asked, his eyes roamed inside and a servant standing in the corner shook his head.“She left me,” Mr Cu
The year was going to change in ten minutes and the hopes were slowly dying inside him and he had no idea what to do with his life anymore when he heard the heels clicking behind him.Someone was coming close to him, the same wildflower fragrance engulfed him, his eyes shot up and he smiled taking a deep breath. “What are you doing here?” He asked, still not sure if his mind was playing tricks.“Is this how you welcome your wife?” The voice said from behind.Christian chuckled, turning, and he saw Mishka in blue jeans with a long white coat and a white beanie cap and she was walking to him in her high heels, a gorgeous dimpled smile was lacing her lips that were reaching her eyes, “Wife?” Christian gave a ridiculous look. “Whose wife? Nikhil?” He asked, and Mishka pouted.“I thought you’d be happy to see me,” She said while Christian stared at her with hands in his pocket, not sure if he was hallucinating again.“Are you really here?” He asked, knitting his eyebrows and Mishka smiled,
Christian asked Eric to choose a room for himself and he selected Mishka’s old room. The servants helped him with the luggage and Eric was happy to see the breathtaking view from his balcony. “Eric?” He heard Mishka calling him and he walked back inside, closing the glass door.“You really want a separate room?” She asked him.“Yes, mom! I am a big guy.” He said, giving a charming smile. “I can handle myself.”Mishka nodded, “Okay, let me help you with unpacking,” She moved to the corner and Eric’s smile dropped as he watched her pick the bag that had his air rifle and other shooting gears. He quickly rushed to her and tried to take the bag from her.“Mom, I can do it myself,” He said, his face turned red, and he gulped.“I know, but let me help you,” She said, keeping her firm hold on the bag and Eric started sweating as he saw her hands reaching to the zipper of the bag.“Mom, you must be…. t-tired,” He stuttered when Christian appeared on the scene.“What’s going on here?” He smile
[MATURE CONTENT AHEAD]“Okay, now, I want to discuss something I’ve on my mind….” As Christian was about to complete, a house helper rushed to them.“Sir, we can’t seem to find Kiara anywhere,” She informed, and everyone panicked.“What?” Christian spun on his heels and faced the servant. “Where was she last?”“In the garage. She was checking out the cars and asked me to bring popcorn for her. When I came, she said she wants a smoothie….” Before she could complete it, Christian interrupted her.“How can you be so careless??” He shouted and turned to Danny. “Go check the cameras.” Everyone rushed in different directions to look for her, while Mishka froze beside Leo, pursing her lips.Leo caressed the back of her hand. “Don’t worry! She must be somewhere in the house.” He said, and Mishka nodded meekly. Luke and Vera check the terrace while Rony and Rose rushed to the west wing, fearing the worst. Eric, Aryan, and Daniel checked the rooms on the second floor of the mansion.Danny and M
