Christian exactly knew the purpose of Lia’s call, but he was more interested to know her choice of words, and how she was going to present her request to him, and with a shark-like Cheshire grin on his face, Christian picked up the call. “Hey!” “Hey! How are you doing? I heard about your accident. Are you alright?” Lia pretended to be concerned about him. “Yeah, you’re calling four days later to check on me. So I guess I’m alive,” He answered in quite a rude tone, and Lia sensed it. She wanted to cut the call right away, but her eyes fell on Tommy, who was looking anxiously at her. “Are you there?” “Y-yes,” Lia answered. “Do you need something, Lia?” Christian asked. “Christian, actually the thing is, I want you to lift Tommy’s ban.” She gulped nervously. “He is a nice guy, I know him. Can you please do this for me?” “Tommy Blenth? Nice guy? Are you sure?” Christian asked in a grave tone. Unaware of Mishka’s presence behind him at the doorframe, who stopped in her track when she
When Mishka removed her top, not only Christian but other people around them were also looking at her. She was wearing a backless purple lacy longline bralette underneath her white top. Her skin was glowing under the sunlight and Christian could barely take his eyes off her while Mishka, on the other hand, was oblivious to all the attention she was getting. She stepped into the water and looked at Christian. “Hey, let’s play volleyball.” Mishka pointed to the group of people who were playing pool volleyball. “S-sure,” Christian nodded, composing himself to not look like an idiot, but then his eyes landed on the man behind Mishka, who was staring at her back with lustful eyes. “Hey! What the fuck are you watching?” Christian scowled. “Focus on your girlfriend!” He growled at the man, and the latter quickly looked away. Mishka observed Christian’s behaviour with an amused face. “Chill, what is wrong with you?” “What is wrong with me? What is wrong with you? I didn’t know you were
“Does that mean she will be trapped in that stagnant body forever?” Luke asked in a choked voice. “According to the latest reports, unfortunately, the answer is yes! I have asked for CT Scan reports and I might change her medicines after analysing her reports, but I want you to prepare yourself that there is a ninety-five per cent chance she will not recover. I c-can’t give you false hopes.” Dr Ken said and sat next to Luke on the bench. “Luke, you are my childhood friend. I understand you, and I took this hopeless case just for your sake. You know I will do my best to bring back your Vera. I know how much you love her!” “Ken, please bring her back. I can’t live without her. I feel so guilty when I see her wheelchair-bound. If something happens to her, then I will commit suicide from the very same terrace.” Luke whimpered, tears spilling out from his eyes. “Don’t say that, Luke. I will try my level best to cure Vera and bring her back to life.” Dr Ken spoke while caressing his back.
“India!! Are you fucking serious?” Dan shrieked, and Jake nodded. “Fuck!!” Dan cursed under his breath. “Why are you looking for them?” Jake asked. “None of your business. Go back to your room.” Dan said and dialled someone’s number. “Dad, I agreed to marry Jessica so that you stop your attacks on Mishka, but if you try to hurt her again, the consequences will not be good.” Jake threatened. “Oh, really! What will you do?” Dan mocked him. “I will kill you!” Jake declared in his determined tone, his eyes void of any emotions. Dan stared at him for a few moments and then burst into a series of laughter. “Don’t crack jokes when you are serious, boy. You will kill your dad? Really?” Jake walked forward and stood in front of him. “Look into my eyes. Do you find any fatherly love for you?” Jake asked, and Dan’s laugh came to a halt. “Stick to your promise, dad. You said you won’t hurt Mishka if I agreed to marry Jessica. I am ready to marry her, but you will stay away from Mishka.” Ja
A muscular man in beige shorts with a sleeveless charcoal black t-shirt appeared with a food tray in his hand. His eyes were a deep shade of blue, and he looked around in the restaurant trying to spot his seven months pregnant wife. “Dylan, here” Angela waved her hand at her husband. Dylan looked at the source of the voice and saw his wife at the other end of the restaurant. He smiled at her, but then his eyes travelled to her left and he was shell-shocked to find Christian standing beside her. And his eyes turned into a darker shade of blue as he took long strides to reach them. Christian’s mind stopped working when he spotted Dylan in front of him. The danger he was talking about the previous night was standing in front of him in all his glory. Mishka felt Christian’s changed demeanour and leaned into him to whisper. “Is he that same Roger who tried to snatch David’s mall project?” She asked in a low voice. “Yes,” Christian answered incoherently. “And might be the one who is try
It was raining when Mishka stood against the railing on the balcony with her arms wide open. Her eyes were closed, and a smile tucked on her lips enjoying the weather. She was soaking wet, her baby pink hot pants and white shirt hugged her body like a second skin and flaunted her every curve. Suddenly, a hard body hugged her from behind, and a rough hand gripped her waist. Mishka took a sharp breath while gripping the back of the hand on her stomach. Christian hugged Mishka from behind. His eyes clouded with lust and he sided her long dark brown hair, nibbling her earlobes, and an involuntary moan escaped from Mishka’s lips which made him harder than before. While his tongue was skilfully licking her bare shoulder, his left hand roamed around her stomach, playing with her belly button, and his other hand started opening the button of her white translucent shirt, revealing her pink bra. Mishka gripped the railing to steady her body. Her knees were giving up, and all of a sudden Chri
“I love you so much, baby! I’ll come back to you soon. Only I know how I have survived all these months without seeing you and touching you. But I’ll come back to India soon,” Mishka said and kissed the screen of her mobile phone. Her back was facing Christian, and he felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water over him. He froze in his place when her words clearly registered in his mind and he felt cheated. “All women are the same, first Vera and now Mishka.” He thought bitterly and turned to leave the suite, but as soon as he opened the door of the suite, a server appeared. “Sir, our resort has organised a party in the club tonight, especially for our VIP guests. Please grace this party with your presence.” The server politely invited and handed the invitation card to Christian. Christian held the invitation card in his hand mumbling thank you, and as the server left, Christian looked at the card, his face void of any emotion, He crumbled the invitation card throwing it on
Mishka turned on the cold shower, and standing under it, she started crying while throwing her fist repeatedly on the wall. Christian’s action at the club and his cheating allegations pushed her all buttons. Her body was shivering under the cold shower, but she stood there with hot tears streaming down her cheeks. While on the other hand, Christian sat on the foot of the bed and opened the picture on her phone again. “I am such a fucktard!” He muttered, facepalming himself, and his eyes travelled the bathroom, the door was ajar. “Why?” Mishka cried, slamming her fist hard on the wall. “Why is it always with me?” She cried and slammed her fist again on the wall when a hand clutched her wrist and turned the shower off. Christian gripped her shivering body from behind and Mishka struggled to free herself, “Leave me!” She howled turning on the shower again, getting both of them wet. “I will not leave you ever!!!” Christian whispered in her ear, but she shook her head wiggling in his

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
