“Veronica” Aiden clutched her arm as they got out of the Pub. “You still didn’t tell me why bro and Eleanor left early?”Veronica held her blush.“You are such a bore Aiden. Why would a couple skip every enjoyment and want some privacy?”Aiden feigned thinking. She knew he was acting. She hit his chest.“You seriously think it’s their special night today?” he queried.“I am confident,” she replied. “Eleanor actually brought a bridal dress and jewelry to surprise Kayden. And we even decorated their bedroom”“How cute” Aiden was impressed. “bro really needed a wife like her”Veronica smiled.“They are a perfect couple”“Like us” He pulled her closer. “And that reminds me.. when am I getting that opportunity to see you decked up in a beautiful bridal dress, waiting for me in my bedroom?”Veronica laughed.“I didn’t joke” his voice was stern.She became serious as he held her jaw.“Aiden?”“How about tonight?”“What?”“You heard it sweetheart”“No” she pushed him away and hurried out.“St
Veronica flew for the Knight mansion again and Kayden was busy with some important calls briefing his team about the almost attack on Aiden which happened last night. Eleanor used the free time to call up Patricia and ask her how the preps were going. The baby shower was in two days and she couldn’t wait to see her sister all decked up and being pampered by everyone.“I am so happy you bagged the lead role. Will that mean I will see you less?” Patricia queried.“Probably” Eleanor sighed. “But I will be there by the time of your delivery. No way I can miss that”“How is dear grandma? And Aurora?”“Grandma is busy with the preps here and Aurora is assisting her. I have never seen them bonding”“Seriously? You mean grandma and Aurora?”“Yes, they seem to have built a good rapport these days”“Aww.. that’s cool. I think the credit goes to you” Eleanor praised. “Before you and Christopher showed your presence, Sebastian and Aurora were going to leave the house. And see now, she is looking
THE KNIGHT MANSION Sebastian Knight stormed into the house. He looked completely pissed. “Where is Kayden?” he barked at Sean, their loyal butler. The servant promptly pointed out at the drawing room where Kayden and Max were discussing something. The guests had started crowding in the Palace and the women of the house were busy occupied with them. Sebastian barged in the room, shutting the door behind. Kayden didn’t like the intrusion but observing Sebastian’s present look, he could see the man was annoyed. “How dare you put spies behind me?” Sebastian shouted coming closer. Before he could touch Kayden, Max came in between them. Sebastian's voice thundered through the room, his anger palpable as he advanced towards Kayden. Max swiftly interposed himself between the two, a barrier of resolve. "Sebastian, stay back," Max cautioned, his tone firm. Sebastian's eyes flared with defiance. "Who are you to tell me that? I am talking to my brother, and no third person should intervene
Veronica was in the kitchen, looking after the dinner arrangements for the guests when someone tickled her waist. She almost jumped in shock before almost running away. Aiden Knight laughed heartily. “Aiden? You.. Was it you? I was so scared” she wiped off the sweat from her forehead. Veronica's heart raced as she spotted Aiden amidst the dimly lit alley. She hesitated, the fear palpable in her voice as she spoke his name. Aiden's laughter echoed off the brick walls, his amusement at her reaction evident.He grinned, still chuckling as he watched her wipe the sweat from her forehead. "Oh God. Look at you... you jumped so far," he said, his laughter infectious.Veronica's concern deepened as she glanced around nervously. "What are you doing here? If anyone sees us together, it would raise their suspicions."Aiden's laughter faded as he approached her, his gaze intense as he pulled her close. "I so wish to take off this mask from your head and..." He leaned in, his lips dangerously cl
THE KNIGHT MANSION “Bro.. what's the matter? Why have you called us all here?” Christopher asked as the brothers and Grandma seated in the study room. Max shut the door. “Won’t take long Christopher and let’s keep this discussion only between us” Kayden mentioned. “I didn’t involve Patricia, Eleanor and Aurora because that would raise suspicions in the eyes of people who might be spying on us. I don’t want any outsider to know what we are discussing now. We can always share it with our wives privately after this meeting is over” “Kayden,” Grandma interrupted. “This emergency meeting is scaring me. Did we get any hint on Christopher’s abduction?” Max turned on the projector and the image of Sebastian’s lookalike flashed on the screen. “That’s not Sebastian” Kayden cleared Christopher and Aiden’s doubts before they could ask. “Man!! Who the hell is he then? And what does he have to do with us?” Christopher asked. “He was involved in your kidnapping Christopher” Silence spread in
“Who wants to talk to me, you said?” Eleanor Watson, the youngest daughter of Adam Watson, the present Governor of the city, asks her maid who came in her room to pass on this message.“Your father wants to talk to you.” the maid repeats seeing no reason the Princess couldn’t understand it at the first instance.Eleanor throws her purse on the bed which is scattered by her beautiful gown. It is her best friend Avery's wedding today and the only reason why she has come back to New York from Paris, taking a few days off from her upcoming movie's shoot. “Tell him I am not available to talk now. And even if I was, I am not interested in discussing anything with a man who said he doesn’t take me as his daughter anymore.” She said in a dismissing tone before focusing back on what she was doing.Her father Adam Watson, was the Governor of the Town, a wealthy man who had every right to rule the place more than anyone else but he was short of wits and skills which the Knight billionaire heirs
CHURCHThe men drag Eleanor and Avery out in the church. It’s an ancient church where you hardly can find people around. Built at the outskirts of the town, no one visits here except during the yearly fair which happens mostly in December. They force Eleanor and Avery to climb the church stairs and as they get closer, Eleanor notices the Priest sitting and doing some preparation. Their surroundings are decorated as if there is some wedding happening here. But whose? There are also few men guarding the place with guns. All of them were wearing that special attire with the Knight Royals logo on their arm.Someone pulls the scarf from Avery’s mouth first.The sudden release of the scarf brought a mix of relief and confusion to Avery. The unexpected turn of events left her disoriented.“Max?” Avery shouts seeing the man sitting before the Priest performing the ritual. “What is all this?” she screams. “Why have you got us here? It’s my marriage today.”Avery's voice echoed with a blend of
“Shut up,” Eleanor exhaled harshly, her frustration evident. Her body was shaking in anger as she struggled to get control over the situation. She never felt so frustrated ever before and she had a feeling that it has just started. “I don’t know where you got this idea that I will be marrying you. Just drop that from your mind before it starts annoying me further.”The smirk on Kayden Knight’s face disappeared. It was evident that she didn’t know anything about the marriage proposal, but he didn’t expect her to react so harshly either after knowing he is going to be her groom. Rejections and Kayden Knight never went well together.“Our marriage is unavoidable," he barked. “Now we just need to see how you take the entire ritual. You want to spoil your family’s image by crying like a fragile, sensitive doll like Avery on our wedding day or embrace it as the best decision of your life.”Eleanor gritted her teeth.“Worst decision,” she snapped. “Only being the great Knight heirs is not en
