“I am already very much ashamed of what I have done, but certainly I cannot go back and correct my actions,” Lia said. “I never knew this will wreak havoc in so many lives. I just tried to claim what was once mine,”“Of course, barbie doll, you are as innocent as a new born baby,” Danny said sarcastically. “You and Christian dragged me into your mess as well and made me villain in front of grandpa Leo. He doesn’t even look at me. Fuck, why the hell you came back to his life?”“Can we please talk without you being sarcastic and I tried to tell them the truth, but they kicked me out without giving me a chance to explain. Even they didn’t trust Christian’s former assistant Ana and kicked her out as well. According to Mr. Leo Knight, we three were in Christian’s plan to trap Mishka. What’s my fault in this? I came when you called me to clear Christian’s name, but when his family isn’t ready to trust me, then what do you want me to do?” Lia shrieked, and Danny raised his eyebrows mockingly
“You said you’d never publish that book and that you wrote it to let your pain bleed through words?” Riya asked Mishka while shifting boxes into the house. “And you had no plan to tell me, right? I got to know about it through social media. Why did you do that?”“Eric and Kiara wanted to go to summer camp. Aryan and I needed to visit India, the orphanage needed some renovation, I had no other option. Kids are growing up, our expenses are increasing. I have to marry you off soon, so I gave the manuscript to Warren, a month back. How will I manage so many things at once?” Mishka said as she dropped the boxes on the floor.“Mishka!! That book holds your and Christian’s story and now the entire world is going to read it!!!! What if Christian finds out you are Scarlett?” Concern laced over Riya’s face.“As if he would care!!! Anyway, I have changed the major part in the book, just included contract marriage, his cheating, trapping me in his fake love and my exit,” Mishka said as she took o
Danny and Christian reached the jewellery store, as Christian needed to get a ring for Andrea. The store manager came to their aid and presented the gorgeous rings to them. “Why did you bring me here? I assigned Aunt Rose for all these petty jobs.” Christian said as he looked at the collection.“Oh, why? You love Andrea so much that you couldn’t wait to marry her, so you should be the one choosing a ring for her,” Danny pouted and Christian narrowed his eye at his sarcasm.“Ring size, sir,” The store manager asked.“Umm… I don…” Christian trailed off, scratching his eyebrow and Danny answered for him.“It’s N,”Christian smirked. “Looks like you still remember minor details of your ex-girlfriend. I wish I could see Maya’s face this instance,” He said and Danny rolled his orbs.“Which one, sir?” The store manager asked, showcasing the latest collection.“Which is the costliest one?” Christian gazed over the collection.“This one,” The manager pointed.“Pack this,” Christian said withou
“What do you want to eat?” Mishka narrowed her eyes at Kiara.“Chicken and Mushroom Ritoto… no, Rissoto,” She said again and Mishka scratched her eyebrow while listening to her, “Rylie’s nanny made this today for us, and I really loved it!!!” She trailed off while Mishka recalled Christian craziness with Risotto and he was up to eat at any time even if it turns cold.“Mummy, Risutu is my new favourite, it was so yummy. I’m kicking noodle out of my favourite list.” Kiara said. Her eyes were shining, describing the first experience with Risotto while scratching the wooden table with her fork.“Enough, Kiara.” Mishka screeched loudly that both Eric and Kiara flinched at her voice. “You aren’t eating that ever!! Am I clear to you?”Kiara creased her nose, “Why can’t I eat again? No… I will eat!! You don’t know how to make chicken and mushroom risotto, mummy? I can call Rylie, and her nanny will teach you.” Kiara continued to rant, and Mishka’s temperament was now at its peak, and she slam
India,Leo watched the kids of the orphanage from a distance. They looked feared watching the massive bulldozer that could ram over and demolish their orphanage at any moment.Since the time he sent the fake paper of demolition, he didn’t leave the place for once, but it was still uncertain if Mishka was alive or not, and if she was dead, then who is looking after the orphanage. His men tried their best to take the number from the caretaker that she was trying again and again, but she was a hard nut to crack. She didn’t disclose any information and continued to divert the questions.“I am sorry, kids. I know what I am doing is not right. But I am helpless and a coward to involve you all in this,” Leo thought as he stood on the stairs of the river Ganga that started to flood with pilgrims for the evening prayer.His heartbeat was racing inside his chest with every passing second and finally, tears started flowing from his eyes. “Sir, why don’t you go back to your hotel and rest for a w
“Are you alright?” Danny asked Andrea, offering his handkerchief. They were currently sitting inside his car, far away from Paparazzi.Andrea took the handkerchief and wiped her tears. “Yes,”“Honestly, I never imagined you’d let Christian go easily,” He said and Andrea chuckled. “You changed my views for you,”“This world, Danny, they judge everyone, no matter how much the other person tries to clarify themselves, but they won’t stop judging. I never wanted to take Mishka’s place in Christian’s life. I wanted to make mine. I wanted him to love me. Where is written that I can’t love the man who loves someone else, I never tried to snatch him from someone or tried to create any problem for him but all I get in return was judgemental eyes, Daniel called me second woman, Grandpa Leo didn’t even look at me, and Christian’s mom, well her looks were readable. What wrong did I do? I am not obsessed with Christian, damn it!!! Why they treated me like that?” Andrea said, her eyes filled with t
“I mean, do I know you?” Eric corrected himself as a blurred memory of someone like Christian crossed his mind.Christian stared at the boy for a few moments. “I don’t think so. Maybe you saw me in any newspaper or on social media.” Christian was as confused as Eric, as his deep blue eyes were reminding him of someone.“Risotto is here,” The assistant came into the view and settled three plates on the centre table.“It’s Ritoto time!!” Kiara exclaimed and all three of them settled on the couch when Eric sneezed a few times.“Change your clothes before you catch a cold. We will wait for you, right, Kiara?” Christian asked, and she agreed with him. While Eric couldn’t understand why he was feeling a pull toward Christian, he meekly picked up his travel bag and left for his room to change clothes and quickly came back to join them.Kiara tried to serve Risotto to Christian, but he took the serving spoon from her and served on the three plates, while Eric continued to stare at him, trying
Leo glanced at his wristwatch. “Christian must have been married by now.” He took a long breath, watching the waves. “The story finally ended.”“Sir, there is no update yet,” A man said to Leo. “I created panic among them, giving them last one hour, but what are our orders after that? Surely, we aren’t going to ram the building, right?” The man asked in an uncertain voice while Leo was in deep thought.Initially, Leo gave her three days so that she can reach from wherever in the world within the timeframe, he didn’t want her to rush in panic, but now the passing moments were panicking him as the thought of her death news crossing his mind now and then as now the timeframe was coming to an end.“Tell them to empty the orphanage and ask the driver to start the engine,” Leo stated. The men standing near him were in shock.“But, sir, there are so many kids, including infants….” The man tried to explain, but Leo glared at him.“Just do as I say. Tell them to leave the orphanage and ask the
