VIVIAN AND KIANAs I ended the call, Kian smiled at me, his eyes crinkling at the corners. I wondered why he did that, but before I could ask, he spoke up."Where did you get that information from?" he asked, his voice slow, sexy, and deep.I felt a shiver run down my spine as I replied, "I went to ask the bar man, he said you are a regular here and you are a good man."Kian smirked and placed his head on my shoulders, his hair tickling my skin. I felt a surge of protectiveness towards him, like he needed to be patted and cared for.As we sat there in silence, Kian's breathing slowed, and he fell asleep on my shoulders. I couldn't wake him up, no matter how hard I tried.I was left sitting there, feeling a mix of emotions.

I mean, everything. How are you going to handle this situation?" I asked, my eyes searching for answers.Kian leaned back in his chair, a thoughtful expression on his face. "I'm not getting married to Mira," he said, his voice firm. "I will face whatever comes next, but I need to know the truth about the baby. I told them to let her give birth, but a DNA test must be done before anything else happens."I nodded, my mind racing with possibilities. "What if the baby is yours?" I asked, the question hanging in the air.Kian's gaze faltered, and he looked away, unable to answer. The question was too much for him to handle.Just then, my phone vibrated, and Kian's phone vibrated too. "What's that?" I asked, walking towards where I had dropped my phone. We both held it, our eyes scanning the s
