Berry was sitting on the edge of the bed, huffing in anger. Leo’s words were continuously ringing in her head and suddenly she picked a pillow and tore them apart. She walked to the side table and threw all the things that were neatly placed on it. Dan entered with two cups of steaming hot coffee. “Hey!! What are you doing?” He questions Berry, looking at the messy room, and walking to where she was standing, “Still unable to forget dad’s words.” “He is not my dad, he never loved me!! That old man always loves charity cases, first Vera, then Daniel, and now Eric. I HATE HIM!!” Berry shouted, venting out her anger, and sat on the bed massaging her temples. Dan offered her coffee sitting next to her. “That bitch Vera left no stone unturned to impress mom and dad. She trapped them in her fake innocence.” Berry sneered. “You know, Luke loved me dearly and hated her with every inch of his skin, but after their wedding, he got changed all of a sudden. That bitch trapped him, too.” “Relax
Christian followed Mishka on the balcony when he heard her shrieking loudly and waited for her to end the call. “What happened? Why did you scream??” Christian asked as soon as she ended the call. “He showed some reflex movements in the upper limbs!!” Mishka exclaimed, her eyes filled with tears. “The doctors say that he is recovering. He is coming back to me, Chris!!” Christian smiled, cupping her cheeks, and wiped her tears. “When can I go back to India?” She asked, and Christian hesitated for a moment. “Soon,” He said, and they both headed inside their room. Mishka placed her head on his arm and Christian kissed her on the forehead. *** “Happy Birthday, Eric!!!” Daniel shouted as soon as Eric opened his beautiful sea-blue eyes. The maid burst into the confetti blast, but Eric got scared and started crying loudly. “Aww my baby,” Mishka picked him up from his baby cot but he started crying more loudly and tried to jump on Christian. “I am getting annoyed now. He likes you more
Pasha was talking to Leo, admiring the beautiful arrangement of the hall and Dan’s hard work, when his eyes fell on Danny, who was sitting at the bar counter taking drinks after drinks. He was looking at a woman in an emerald green dress who was talking to the CEO of the Star Magazine, standing intimately close. Pasha excused himself from Leo and walked to the bar. He sat on the barstool next to Danny. “What’s up, young man?” He asked, and Danny’s eyes travelled back to Pasha from Maya. “All good, grandpa!” Danny responded and took a sip of his drink. “Hmmm… grandpa.” Pasha said, playing with the rim of his glass, “Since when did you start talking to me respectfully?” Danny smiled without answering and gulped the whole content of his glass, and ordered for the second round. “Stop drinking! The party has not even started.” Pasha restricted but Danny didn’t listen, and looking at Maya, he again gulped the whole content. Dan entered with Berry and approached the manager to enquire if
~Vera~ My wish to live died on the day when Luke brought Jennifer. I wanted to take Chris away with me, but I knew I couldn’t give him the life he deserved. I didn’t want to compromise with his bright future. But the pain inside my chest was killing me every moment, and that night I decided to end my life by jumping off the terrace, but as always, god was cruel to me. For the last seventeen years, the more I wished to die, the more he forced me to live each day confined in this body. But today, when Christian said that he has forgiven me, I felt like someone has finally removed a heavy rock from my chest, like I was living to hear those words from him and now I want to live. Please give me another chance. Please free me from this stagnant body, God. I want to touch my son. I want to hug him and tell him how much I’ve always loved him. I wish to talk to Mishka, she indeed is a blessing you sent to me and my son. Please give me another chance, god. Please, I want to go back to my Luke
Mont dragged Jessica out of the Sylvester hotel, and she slipped to her knees, crying hysterically. Mont sat on his knees in front of her. He knew Jake wasn’t the right guy for him from the start, but Jessica always loved Jake, and she even fought with him to marry Jake. “Jessica, dear, Jake doesn’t deserve you. He will always hurt you.” Mont said, caressing her hair. Jessica wiped her tears, and looked up at her dad, “You are right, dad. He doesn’t deserve me and now I want to go somewhere. I don’t want to live here anymore, around these people. They all hurt me so bad.” She cried, her chest clenched with pain. “I will take you away from all of them, princess. I’ll not let anyone ever hurt you again.” Mont said, cupping her cheeks and supported her to stand on her feet. Jessica hugged his father, and the duo left. *** “Now I have to prepare this fucking report!!” Christian was irked. He unlocked his mobile phone and opened voice mail to check Ana’s message when a familiar voice s
Berry was walking back and forth on the balcony while trying to connect with Dan, but he wasn’t picking up her calls. She huffed in annoyance and dialled again when Sean appeared in front of her, out of nowhere. “You have to come with me, Mrs Mathews,” Sean said, in his deep throaty voice, but Berry batted her eyelashes and turned to call Dan again. Sean frowned, snatching the mobile phone from her grip, and Berry turned back to him, throwing daggers in his direction. “Do you know who I am? How dare you?” Berry snapped. “Please follow me otherwise I will have to call cops to get you arrested,” Sean said, the other bodyguards appeared with guns and one of them leaned into Sean. “Sir, all the bodyguards in the security room are unconscious, and we did not find any footage.” Berry smirked evilly. “You can do anything, even if you know everything. Now, can I get my mobile back?” “I always doubted Dan, but Mr Knight never agreed. According to him, his family will never do something li
Sylvester Hostels, The screen was set on Mishka’s face when someone threw a bucket of water on her and she fluttered her eyes open with the impact. Leo had a complicated expression on his face while the crowd was shocked. “Eric!!” She shouted, her eyes bulging out in shock. “Mama,” Eric cried. His throat went dry because of continuous shouting and wailing. “Oh, don’t react as if you are his real mother!!” Dan sneered, and Mishka watched the man standing before her with a mask. His voice seemed familiar to her. “NO!!” Leo shouted, his eyes pinned on the screen. “Wow!! Your sacrifice is worth appreciating, but I’ll not be the one to kill you.” Dan smirked with a sense of mockery in his tone, and Mishka’s face was laced with uncertainty. “Who then?” Mishka asked. The man did not answer her question, but yanked Mishka by the hair. “Bloody bitch, you spoiled my plan again!” He shouted and then slapped her so hard that the impact almost left Mishka unconscious again. The video on th
Eric’s continuous wailing annoyed Maria. He was now scratching her face, forcing her to drop him down on the floor, but Maria glared at him and next moment slapped him, and in return, Eric slapped her back. Maria was flabbergasted. She was boiling in anger when her eyes landed on the unconscious Mishka. She walked to her and dropped Eric on her lap. Eric stopped crying and quickly jumped on her lap to hug her. Mishka stirred, her forehead creased. She slowly opened her eyes and found Eric on her body like a second skin. Eric was frightened of all the masked men around him. His little heart was thumping loudly as he tried to wake Mishka. “Mama…. mama, waky.” Eric mewled. Mishka opened her eyes properly. Though still under the effect of a high dosage of the drugs, her vision was hazy. She tried to hold Eric, only to find herself confined to the chair with her hands tied with a rope on either side of the chair. “Eric, baby.” She said and Eric looked at her face and his eyes travelled

Christian took furious steps back inside the office premises and Ana tried to speak to him again, “Not now, Ana!” He said sternly, so done with all the drama, and rushed to the elevator. But something caught his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. His steps halted as he swiftly turned to look at the pair of silver heels lying leisurely near the reception.He furrowed his brows and recognised it as he recalled Mishka wearing the same in the morning. “Where is Mishka?” He almost shouted, his voice echoed, and his eyes peered at Ana for an answer.“She was here but left…. After…” Ana stuttered.“What after?” Christian asked, fearing the worst. “Damn it, say!!”“She left when she spotted Lia with you in the conference room,” Ana revealed, and Christian’s face lost all colour, and for a split of seconds, he couldn’t process anything.“Why didn’t I know she was here?” He looked for an explanation.“She came to give you a surprise,” The receptionist said and Christian’s eyes darken. He took a
Mishka walked into the building of Knight Group, and the staff politely greeted her. She reached the reception, holding the file of good news close to her heart, and asked. “Where is Christian?” “Sir is at an important conference. Let me inform him,” The receptionist said, but Mishka stopped her. “No, it’s alright. I’ll wait for him in the cabin.” She said and turned to the elevator when she slightly tripped on her heels and a look of horror washed over her face. “Are you alright, ma’am?” The receptionist quickly came forward to help. “Yeah! I’m fine.” Mishka said and quickly removed her heels while the receptionist looked at her weirdly. She left her heels near the reception and walked barefoot towards the elevator. All the while, she was humming a song. The lift opened on the fiftieth floor, and Ana approached her. “Good Evening, Ma’am. Please, this way!” She escorted her to Christian’s cabin. “Would you like to have something? Sir will be free in half an hour,” Ana said. “No,
“What??” Luke screeched loudly. “Yes, she had a severe seizure this early morning, and it was hard to control her. We have given her an injection. She will sleep at least sleep for the next five hours. But this is weird and dangerous. Just yesterday, everything was fine. I don’t understand how everything took a sudden flip.” Dr Ken stated, rubbing his stubble while Luke was heartbroken on the other side. “Please tell me, she is going to be fine,” Luke choked on his words. “It’s not possible to predict anything right now. It appears that she is in major trauma. We don’t know how it’s going to affect her improvement.” Dr Ken said, and Luke could literally hear his heart pounding inside his chest. “Sadly, seizures slow the improvement process,” “What’s happening with us?” Luke wondered as he disconnected the call, and looked at Vera and his wedding picture, remembering the time they spent happily. “Don’t torture me more, Vera.” His thumb traced Vera’s picture as he mumbled helplessly
Jennifer rolled her eyes, “Come on, Lia!! Why do you think she didn’t recognise you?” She asked with a sinister smirk on her face while Lia stared at her blankly. “Because she actually doesn’t know about you and Christian.” The realisation hit Lia. “But why would Christian hide this?” She muttered, unable to think straight. “Because he is going to dump her in the next few days. I don’t see any other reason.” Jennifer said. “Right, maybe because she is mentally unstable. I accidentally bumped into her at Dr. James’s clinic.” Lia started connecting dots. “You’re absolutely correct. She is mentally unstable, plus their contract marriage is expiring soon. But what were you doing at the clinic?” Jennifer questioned. “I went to collect my mother’s reports,” Lia answered. “I thought to ask Dr. James about her but then dropped the idea as I was sure he won’t share her confidential information. He was updating me about my mother’s health when he got a call from someone and he said Mishka i
Weeks spent peacefully. Christian was overjoyed when he learned Mishka was editing Scarlet’s upcoming book. He was excited to read the manuscript, and it was hard for Mishka to keep his hands away from her laptop that held all the secrets. Little Eric also joined preschool and was extremely happy to find kids of his age to play with. Mishka was slowly coming back to her original form, but her relationship with Rose was still strained as the latter was maintaining a gap with her. Daniel, too, was a little hesitant around Mishka, and she somehow realised it and stopped going to the Knight mansion. Leo was unhappy again. He wanted Mishka close to him, in his mansion, but Christian was stubborn about living in the apartment. “You have got an appointment with James!” Christian reminded Mishka while wearing a silk blue tie. “I remember. I’ll drop Eric at school and then head to his clinic.” She said and turned to Eric, “It’s bathing time, come on,” She said, but Eric ran away and made Mis
Christian was sleeping peacefully. His hand roamed on the left side of the bed and he slowly opened his eyes. He jerked up and looked around, only to find Mishka standing in front of the dresser. She was wearing a white top with charcoal black skinny fit jeans, her long dark brown wavy hair open reaching her waist and she wore diamond earrings while humming a song. “What are you doing?” Christian asked, eyeing her actions. She turned and smiled at him. “Oh, you are up. I am going to Snowdrop Publication. I’ve got an appointment with Warren Thomson.” She said with a broad smile on her face and walked toward him. “I met Dr James yesterday. He said I should keep myself engaged. That’s why I’ve decided to resume my editing job.” She said, sitting beside him on the bed. “Are you out of your mind? After what happened yesterday, you think…” Before Christian could complete it, Mishka interrupted him. “What happened?” She asked, cluelessly, and Christian furrowed his brows. “You don’t re
“My wife, Mishka, met you this morning. What’s exactly wrong with her?” Christian asked, and Dr James took a sip of his drink. “She is suffering from melancholic depression.” Dr James states and Christian’s heart skipped a beat. FLASHBACK “Send the next patient in,” Dr James asked the nurse, who was waiting for his instruction. The door of the cabin opened again and Mishka stepped in. “Please take a seat,” Dr James said while writing something on his writing pad. Mishka settled on the seat opposite him and gulped nervously. She didn’t know how to explain. If this was some physical injury, she could’ve described it, but what to describe when she doesn’t know what she was suffering from? Mishka continuously tapped her fingers on the desk and James noticed, “Relax, Mrs Knight!” He said and lifted his eyes to look at her anxious face. Mishka’s fingers stopped tapping as she smiled, but she was creeping out from inside. “I think I should come next time, sorry for wasting your time,” S
Christian sat inside his car and slammed his hand on the steering wheel. “I never listened to anyone’s suggestions before taking any decision. I always did what I wanted to do. Then why the fuck I agreed with Danny’s idea when he stopped me from telling the truth of the contract marriage to Mishka? Just Why?” He pulled his hair in frustration. “I have to tell Mishka about Lia. I won’t give any chance to Lia to destroy anything.” He said to himself. “But what if the revelation negatively affects her health?” This question haunted him. “No... No, she will be fine! I’ll make sure this doesn’t affect her, but now I have to disclose the truth even if it creates a rift between us,” He thought when a message from Luke flashed on his screen. “Can you come with Eric and Mishka? Vera wants to see them.” “Sure, we’ll be there in an hour or so,” Christian answered and started the engine of his car when it started raining heavily. He had an unsettling feeling about something is not right. His
