“I saved that key from being stolen, Mr. Knight and my only motive was to keep it that way. But doing so wasn’t enough. I knew something deep was conspiring in that house and I wanted to know all of it so that I could warn you people beforehand. That’s exactly why I took the role of a caretaker in your house with a new identity. Though my eyes and ears were almost everywhere I still couldn’t find the real traitor”Kayden's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized the multitude of folders on the laptop screen, each containing a trove of audio files documenting private conversations and intimate moments within his home. Anger simmered beneath the surface as he realized the extent to which Veronica had invaded his family's privacy."You have clearly hacked my entire house. I am going to sue you for this, Veronica," he growled, his voice laced with fury.Veronica met his gaze with a steely resolve, her annoyance palpable. "First for hacking my family’s privacy and then... changing your identity to
Eleanor was just out from the Shower and still in the robe when a message buzzed on her phone. She fastened the ends of the robe and checked the message which was from Kayden.“Open the door”Eleanor frowned. Since morning she had sent him a few messages and even called him up but he responded to none. She wondered what kept him so busy that he had no time for his wife? And now, he wanted her to open the door because he might have sent a sorry card, flowers or ordered her favorite dinner. She didn’t want any of them… she wanted him!! She bit her lip curbing her desires and opened the door as told.Her jaw dropped as she saw her husband standing at her apartment door. He had a faint smile playing on his lips. He looked messed up yet the glint in his eyes showed she was his only solace."Kayden?" Eleanor's voice trembled with a mix of surprise and excitement as she beheld her husband standing at her doorstep. Her impulse was to leap into his arms, but she managed to rein in her emotions
VILLA – PARISVeronica informed Kayden Knight that she and Aiden had settled down in the Villa. He didn’t speak much and neither did she extend the conversation. Informing him was her duty right now because he has entrusted Aiden’s safety upon her until he gets his wife Eleanor to this Villa tomorrow.“They are coming tomorrow morning” she said to Aiden and flopped on the couch, next to him.“Aren’t you favoring my brother a lot?”Veronica’s brow twitched high.“He wants to protect you. I want the same. How can I hate that man?”Aiden rolled his eyes.“You need to sober down Aiden. I know you weren’t prepared confronting him tonight, but I think you crossed the lines”Aiden leaned back his head in disappointment.“I don’t know what happened to me, Veronica. You think I like fighting with my brother? That I don’t see the change in him? Of course, I do”She caressed his face to soothe him.“I have got you back after 2 years Veronica. And I won’t let anyone snatch you again”“This time K
PARIS – VILLA“Why are you in so much hurry to show me the house Mr. Royal Knight? I can see that later. Right now I have to chat with Veronica..” Eleanor faked an excuse and joined Veronica in the living room who was sitting alone as Aiden was busy on a call.Kayden clenched his jaw. She was doing this on purpose. He wanted to spend some quality time with his wife and here she was busy ignoring him.“Hey” Eleanor sat next to Veronica. “I forgot to thank you”“Thank me? For?”“Taking up Grandma’s caretaker’s role. We wouldn’t have found a better person than you. She is really impressed by you. In fact, even Aurora and Patricia keeps telling me how much you look after every little need of Grandma”Veronica smiled. She was reluctant to pick that role because she didn’t like Grandma much just like she had hated Kayden Knight. But that was the only way to get an entry in that house.“She means something to me too. Though when I took up the role, I wasn’t very happy to be around the same w
VILLAKayden hit the gym because that was the only way to spend time without his wife. Aiden was busy on calls. His producer was giving him a tough time but Aiden was handling things well. He was really a good decision maker too now, unlike before when he changed his mind almost every minute. After pushups, Kayden decided to walk on the treadmill when Aiden joined him in the gym.“You hated treadmills,” Aiden muttered.Kayden shrugged lazily.“No choice here. Unlike the Knight mansion, there is no walking area around this place. Not to mention the pollution in this city is roaring high too”“I know. But this city has some beautiful clubs and the sea link is best for racing high speed bikes at midnight”Kayden let out a chuckle.“You seem to love this city”“A lot,” Aiden nodded. “It’s like a second home”Kayden slowed the speed of the treadmill. Did he say second home?“The Knight mansion has missed you terribly Aiden. Every occasion, every festival, every celebration was void without
PARIS – CLUB“It worked,” Eleanor said to Veronica as they stepped inside the club and were instantly guided to the VIP area on the 3rd floor. Seemed like their husbands had taken passes for the VIP section and planned to utilize all the facilities of this Club royally.“Indeed. The brothers have united” Veronica replied.“I didn’t expect them to come here by the way”“Then you don’t know anything about their naughty past” Veronica answered. “These two had their share of fun time boozing and dancing in their free time”Now that shocked Eleanor. She couldn’t imagine her husband doing any of that publicly.“Are you serious?” she reconfirmed.“How do you think I met Aiden?”Eleanor was curious and Veronica didn’t hide that incident.FEW YEARS AGOIt was a dark night but the loud music had wiped off the silence around her. She had a short fight with her father regarding her further studies abroad. She had completed her graduation just one month ago and wanted to polish her knowledge and s
The drive to the Villa was not very long. Eleanor dragged Kayden along and stopped once they reached the living room.“Now that we have reached..” Kayden pulled her closer. “Tell me what the surprise is”Eleanor paused him before he could kiss her. One kiss and she would melt in his arms. She wouldn’t let that happen because tonight was much more than what he had expected out of her. She pushed him on the couch.“You got your phone?” she asked.Kayden was dazed by her actions and question, both. When he didn’t respond, she started checking his shirt and denim pockets to find the mobile. Her playful hands burned his body once again. He pulled her on his lap and ensured she couldn’t get down.“Here” she handed him the mobile. “I will call you in exactly 20 minutes, until then you will behave like a nice boy and stay here. Don’t even dare to come in the bedroom”“Bedroom” he repeated. “So that’s where my surprise is”“Not yet,” she giggled. “But it will soon be ready”Kayden loved the ef
“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
