Cain reached his parents' mansion. When he got into the garage, he noticed another car already parked there. His brows knitted together. Who else was there in the mansion? Normally, his parents did not have any guest coming over to the mansion, instead they always met any of their business associates in a restaurant. And today his father had called him to discuss something. He was becoming more and more curious. So, he went inside and was welcomed by the warm hug of his mom. "My baby! Welcome home. Finally, after so long you are here. I have missed you being in this mansion. You should come here to meet us often. And definitely, should have some sleepovers here." She gushed ushering him in. "Sure mom, I will." He replied casually. He never showed much emotions to anyone, not even to his parents but he cared for them. "Now come on, let us go inside. Your father is waiting for you and you know, I have prepared your favourite roasted cottage cheese with gravy." She said excitedly. "Mo
"I have something important to discuss, about your business, son." Said his father and he nodded making himself comfortable on the couch he was sitting on. "So, Ivy wishes to merge their company with ours. It can be beneficial. Think about it, son." He explained and Cain thought about it thoroughly. It could be for their company's benefit but it had its own risks. So, it was a really big decision to make which he did not want to make all by himself. "It would be really great but...can I get some more time to think about it? You know, it is a big decision to make." He said slowly. His father nodded at him and Ivy frowned. "You are right. Take your time but do think about it, okay?" Cain nodded and looked at Ivy and said, "I am sorry, Ivy. I hope you understand why I am saying this." She nodded. "It is alright. I understand." She gave him a small smile he returned it apologetically. His father cleared his throat. "Alright. I guess I can leave you both to talk with each other. We wil
(Twenty one years ago) Continues...The black SUV had come to a halt infront of the huge mansion. The big bad mafia boss, Callix Russells, had finally returned home. But sadly, the situation in which he had to return was not at all jovial. He was out of station to make some major deal with another mafia gang in order to expand his connection in the underworld. Though he did not want to leave his wife and his five months old daughter here all by themselves, he had to. It just had been three days since he left and today he got a call from his brother, Jedd, telling him that his beloved wife went missing along with his daughter, and also that precious platinum which he had gifted his wife, was also nowhere to be found. He was angry as hell at the bastard who was responsible for this and at himself as well, for leaving the most precious girls in his life behind for his damned business. After hearing that, he could not stay there anymore and came back as soon as possible. When he reached h
Under the bright light coming from the bulb, Cali stood there staring at the girl who stared back at her. She had beautiful midnight black hair, cute button nose, plump heart shaped lips and the most beautiful pair of eyes. The left one was an alluring shade of gunmetal blue and the right one was hazel in color. Just like his. Cali smiled at her and she returned it equally. She could not help but feel her eyes burning Aa she gazed into the mirror looking at her reflection smiling back at her. "You are beautiful, just like your mother." She could still hear his voice in her mind. One of her hands came up to touch her face on the mirror. "Do I really look like my mother?" She asked herself. She was in the washroom of their office now. She had ran away from there when he revealed who he was to her."You are my daughter, sweetheart." His words rang in her ears. And she let the unshed tears fall down her cheeks. A strangled sob left her lips as she tried to bring it down. "Why?" She ask
Leaning against the window attached to the wall, he was staring at the girl who was running on the road looking all disheveled with tears streaming down her cheeks which she was wiping furiously with the back of her hands. His heart was knowing he could not do anything right now even if he wanted to. After the girl went out of his view, he summoned one of his men to his office. Theodore too, came in along with him. "Keep track on her but do not invade her privacy in any way. Am I clear?" Mr. Russells ordered and the man nodded before going out of his office and out of their view. "What are you doing? How can you let her go after confirming that she is Callistaa, our Callistaa. My precious niece. My Celestaa's daughter." Said Theodore emotionally. He could not understand why Callix was letting her go when just some time ago, he was dying to find his long lost daughter. Callix sighed and went to sit on his chair. "I am not letting her leave, Theodore. I am just giving her time to acce
9 Months later....The cool breeze hit her face making her long black hair fly in every direction along with it. How she loved coming here early in the morning everyday just to relish the nature. Standing near the bank of the lake, Cali was looking at her own reflection. Just how much had she changed in these nine months. Her black hair was now longer reaching her waist. She was wearing a sap green midi dress which stopped just above her knees. Now she no longer used any lenses to hide those beautiful eyes of hers behind. Her father had assured her that she looked really beautiful and unique with them which resembled his. A smile was formed across her lips when she remembered her father, Callix Russells. He was her support now. When she decided that she was not ready to take over the company, he understood and did not press on it anymore. And when she told that she wanted to leave the country for a while to collect herself together again, her father supported her and arranged everythin
The Russells' private jet had just landed. She was back in the country. Feeling full of nerves, she could not help but tap her leg on the floor impatiently. What was she impatient for? She did not know herself. Maybe for this dreadful week to pass quickly so that she could get over with this and could go back to her seclusion again. But she knew it was not going to happen. Someday she had to take over their business and for that, she had to stay here. Her father must had noticed her anxiety, so he came up to her and held her in his arms, rubbing her back in a soothing way. "What happened, princess? You look pale. Is something bothering you?" He asked gently patting her head. She looked up at her father's soft eyes with her anxious ones. She shook her head at him slowly. "No, dad. It is just that...will I be handle all of this by my own?" She had her doubts but not on her ability to do business but on her heart which still could not seem to forget that one person whom she had ran fro
The blue metallic sedan screeched infront of the office building. A man came out from the car and rushed into the building with urgency, not even bothering to take his bag out of it. On his way to his office, his employees greeted him morning but he was not paying them any heed. Rude! That was what they called him. Before, he was sure arrogant but rude? In the last few months, he had not talked to anyone nicely. He had become a walking ticking time bomb which could explode at any time and on anyone. Mr. Cain Hutton had became a rude, arrogant jerk. To everyone. And the reason was...his wife. His wife had ran away from the past nine months. And he was going bonkers on everyone because he was unable to find her till now. But today was different because the private investigator whom he had hired to find the whereabouts of his wife, had called him this morning informing him that he had something new to tell him. So now, he was in a hurry to get to him who was waiting for him in his office.
