Pictures of Agatha’s dead body flashed on the screen, “Big Breaking news! Agatha Corel, a nineteen-year-old girl, is found dead in her apartment. According to the police reports, some burglars broke into the house in the middle of the night for robbery and slit her throat after raping her. Another interesting fact found in this case is that Agatha was working as a maid in the Knight Mansion. She was very close to Mrs Mishka Knight, as we can see their pictures in her I*******m account.”“This can’t be true!” She muttered. The mobile phone slipped from her hand, but she quickly picked it up again from the floor to confirm the news. She re-read the entire line and zoomed Agatha’s picture, but nothing changed.“How did this happen?” Mishka was sobbing, looking at the screen clicking with different pop-up notifications, but Christian snatched the mobile phone and pulled her in a hug. Mishka buried her face in his chest and started crying hysterically, and Christian tried to console her.“C
Luke was standing by the window, chugging on alcohol, when Leo entered. Luke turned and looked at him with questioning eyes. “Are you free for a few minutes?” Leo asked, and Luke nodded his head. Leo walked in his direction and stood beside him near the window. “You wanna drink?” Luke asked politely, but Leo declined. “Don’t you think it’s a little early for alcohol?” Leo asked. Luke smiled. “Are you really worried about me or am I hallucinating?” He made a sarcastic comment and Leo rolled his eyes. “You pushed away every person who genuinely cared about you,” Leo stated firmly, and Luke nodded in agreement. “I know what I have done.” Luke nodded, taking another sip. “Do you regret divorcing Vera?” Leo asked, and Luke chuckled. “Why are you asking all these questions after seventeen years?” Luke avoided Leo’s question. “Why are you suddenly so interested in my life? Remember, you have severed all ties with me?” “Why did you divorce Vera?” Leo asked, this time stressing at each
“Mr Knight, are you really sure about this?” Sean asked, while Danny just looked at both of them, wordlessly. “I know what I am doing, detective,” Christian said and signed the last page of the document. He looked up at Danny, “Here you go, take care of everything from now onwards.” “Are you sure or I should ask, are you ready? This is a very big decision, I hope you do not regret it later.” Danny cautioned, but Christian smirked. “I am sure, I really want to do this. Take care of the rest of the formalities.” He said wearing his shades and exited Danny’s office. He was about to enter his car when Sean stopped him. “I have a lead.” He said and Christian turned. “What?” Christian asked. “Dylan Roger removed Tommy Blenth’s ban!” Sean said and Christian raged in anger. “I think there is more to it, with Lia being your ex-girlfriend, and Roger removing Tommy’s ban.” Sean further added. “Let me know if you get any other evidence,” Christian said and left. *** Mishka was looking at
“See!” Christian gestured and Mishka followed his gaze until her eyes landed on Eric, who was throwing all the pillows and cushions on the floor. Mishka furrowed her eyes and the next moment both Christian and Mishka chuckled when they saw Eric jumping down from the bed on the cushions. He quickly stood up on his small feet and rushed in their direction.Mishka opened her arms for him, but Eric ignored her and clutched Christian’s leg. Mishka pouted while Christian picked him up in his arms. “My little bundle of joy!!” Christian pinched his nose.“He likes you more than me.” Mishka pouted, looking at their lovely union.“So what? I like you more than anyone else. Come here!” Christian opened his right arm for her, and Eric, too, copied, opening his left arm for Mishka.***Dan was sitting peacefully in his cabin, deep in thought. All his plans were failing miserably. Now he was so angry and frustrated that he wanted to strangle Mishka in front of the Knights, but it was his last resort
[MATURE SCENE] Sitting on the couch in the balcony, Christian was reading a book when Mishka embraced him from behind. “I am so happy! I am so happy!! You know, I bagged three projects. Now, I can pay all the money to Dadu.” She squealed with happiness. Christian smiled, taking her hand and made her sit on his lap. “Are you happy now?” He asked, brushing her hair. “Very happy!!” She squealed. “Anything else my princess wants to do?” Christian asked, pinching the bridge of her nose, and Mishka’s eyes landed on the book Christian was reading. “Actually, my interview is still pending with Snowdrop Publications,” Mishka said, and Christian furrowed his eyebrows. “You want to do modelling, you want to work as an editor, when will you give time to me and Eric?” Christian complained. “Modelling assignment will be done in a day, and I don’t have to be in the office every day for an editor’s job. I can work at home when you sleep.” Mishka said. “And when will you rest?” Christian questi
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

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
