Kiara watched Mishka completely disappear from her sight. She finished the milk quickly, gazing at the house helper who was staring right back at her.“I want to listen to songs. Can you bring Big B’s phone and headphones? Mummy asked me not to move without finishing this and I am very hungry!” Kiara said, rubbing her hand on her tummy.“Okay!” The house helper smiled. “Don’t go anywhere.” She said before making a move and Kiara focused back on her plate. She stretched out her hand to the fruit bowl, but it was out of her reach. She sighed, leaning back in her chain, and seconds later, she was sitting on the glass table with the help of her chair.She put an apple and a knife on her plate and cautiously jumped down on the floor. Her eyes roamed around and she saw staff cleaning the floor of the living room. She holds the plate in her hand, kept her eyes on the staff, and slowly sneaked out of the dining area.***“You called me?” Mishka softly knocked on the door and peeked inside Leo
“Kiara, look up!” Mishka said, and Kiara looked at the ceiling, not meeting with her eyes.“Look at me!” Mishka said in a high pitch and she faced her.“Remove your shade.” She said and Kiara shook her head.“I have an eye infection, mummy!” She said and Mishka looked at Christian, sighing, and the latter remove the shades from Kiara’s eyes and she pouted.“Are you angry?” She cautiously asked Mishka.“Yes!” Mishka answered. “Why didn’t you come to me when I called you?”“I was worried for Berry! She is my best friend, and you scared her.” Kiara said.“Okay, Kiara, I am being very serious about this. If mummy calls you, you will leave everything and go to her.” Christian sternly said. “No matter what you’re doing! You will always come to mummy when she calls you.”Kiara stared at him, blinking her eyes. “You hear me?” Christian asked.“Yes!” she said.“Good girl!” Christian smiled, and the matter ended.***The next day, the family reached Hyde Park in central London, one of the great
The giant metal gates decorated with marigold flowers opened and five luxurious cars slid into the driveway. Nikhil, Riya, Aryan and Ivaan appeared in traditional Indian attire, and soon the kids of the orphanage and the caretaker joined them to welcome the groom.The chauffeur opened the door of the backseat and Christian stepped out in casuals and looked around the ten-acre long area covered in greenery and pine trees.Two glammed-up elephants were standing on either side of the metal gate and every corner was representing the speciality of particular states in India.Christian’s eyes finally stopped at Mishka’s ancestral house that she converted into a resort, and it appeared almost a hundred years old. He stared at the palace when Luke came to his side and cleared his throat. “This resort looks way too old to hold the ceremonies! Our guest may feel uncomfortable.”“They can go back if it’s making them uncomfortable,” Christian said, sliding off his shades.“But why can’t we book s
“Leo!” Kiara peeked in through the door, and she found him resting on the recliner.“Yes, sweetheart!” He said, and she smiled, walking in his direction.“How am I looking, Leo?” She twirled, showing off her long red lehenga same as Mishka.“Gorgeous as always!” He said, and Kiara strolled to him, kissing his cheek.“Thank you! Let’s go, the wedding is about to start. I’ve come to pick you up.” Kiara said, holding his hand, and Leo looked around him.“I can’t seem to find my stick.” He said, and Kiara looked around too, but it was nowhere in sight.“I can help you!” She exclaimed and forced him to stand on his feet. “Put your hand on my shoulder and I’ll take you out.” She said, putting Leo’s slightly shivering hand on her shoulder and taking him out while Leo proudly smiled. The compassion & love that he taught Christian was already instilled in Kiara at such a young age.***Nikhil took out the garment bag from the closet and unzipped it, taking out the designer white outfit. “Here
[MATURE SCENE AHEAD] The continuous loud banging on the door quickly detangled them from each other and Christian rushed to open the door, only to find Kiara arguing with Vera. “Sweetheart, let’s go to our room! I’ll read you a story.” Vera said to sleepy Kiara, whose eyes were closing on their own accord. “No, I want to sleep with mummy and daddy!” She stated when Mishka appeared at the door beside Christian. “Look, they are looking so beautiful. I want to sleep with them.” “But…” Vera tried to interrupt, but Kiara stomped her foot. “It’s okay, mom,” Christian said, taking Kiara inside when an idea struck in Vera’s mind. “Kiara, do you want a baby?” She asked, and Kiara turned to look at her, widening her eyes. “Yes! Yes!” She grinned at her. “But you have to leave your mummy daddy alone!” Vera said. Kiara glanced at Christian thinking about it, “I am going with Vera, but I want a baby!” She ordered when Vera took her in her arms and Mishka kissed her cheeks. “Good night!” Sh
[MATURE SCENES AHEAD]Everyone’s focus shifted to Luke. “I and Vera have decided to take Kiara and Eric to Disneyland.” He said, shifting his glance from Christian to Mishka and the latter stayed silent while Eric and Kiara exchanged glances.“Well, of course, only if the parents allow us.” He said, and Christian stared at Mishka.“Dad, she is very mischievous. She doesn’t listen to anyone.” Mishka expressed her feelings. Though she knew Vera wanted to do things with the kids that she failed to do when Christian was young, and she had no problem if they wish to take Eric, but it was Kiara they were talking about. “I am not sure if you should take Kiara.”Mishka pressed her lips in a straight line when she heard Christian. “Kiara seems close to mom and dad, and Eric will be with her, also they will take bodyguards with them. Why aren’t you sure about it?”Mishka drew a deep breath and faced Kiara, and then her eyes travelled to Vera and everyone else was watching her, waiting for her d
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
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
