She hated Viaan for pushing her into the arms of danger, but that doesn’t mean she will hurt the lady who showered love on her for the past two weeks. Her heart pinched thinking how hurt this kind lady will be when she will know the truth.No! She has no right to break her trust.It was Viaan’s problem how he would handle his mother and tell her the truth. Because even if he threw her out of his house, threatening to harm those children, she will still be his legally wedded wife. Thus, he had to let the cat out sooner or later. With a thought of not lying to her completely, at least, and to leave the place sooner, Kiara told her a less important but true reason.“No, Auntie. Mr. Adams’s behavior had nothing to do with my decisions. Actually, I need to sort out an issue related to my ancestral property by next month, and I need money for that.” Kiara said, licking her lips. “And this is what Mr. Adams heard but took it otherwise when I was asking my friend to help me find a job.” Her t

Time flies away with the speed of thought when you need it most to slow down. And the more you crave to close your eyes and breathe for at least a few seconds in your haphazard moments, the harder it lets the course of change set its feet in your already struggling life. Change is bound to happen and, perhaps, despite bracing yourself to face it, it shakes the foundation sometimes.That was one similar condition to what Kiara was going through these days. The supposed day came much faster than she expected. Another change awaited her while she braced herself to fight like a warrior yet one more time.On the cloudy morning of Friday, Kiara was checking her luggage. It was around ten and she just had gotten her bandages removed a few minutes ago. Without wasting a second, she excused herself and come back to her room. Now she was preparing to leave in a few minutes as the interview was scheduled at sharp 1 pm. Though she didn’t have much in the name of belongings, a white gold chain wit

‘I didn’t send her there; she herself has opted for the company without gathering information about its boss. So, I’m not to be blamed if something happens.’ Viaan said, convincing himself that Leo was wrong to ask that. ‘Moreover, why should I care about her?’ He dismissed the final thoughts with a frown and a careless shrug.A quick vision of Kiara’s gloomy face flashed in front of his eyes, which he again shook off brutally.However, deep down his consciousness was now nagging him at certain something which he didn’t take another minute to push back in the most rejected section of his brain.A few minutes later, the mighty businessman immersed himself in the upcoming projects and was working with an utter focus on his laptop. He prepared a quick presentation and was going to play the slideshow when Neil knocked on his door.“Sir, the new team has been handed over the required materials and they also have started working. This is their first report.” He slid a file towards his boss.

With the sudden demand of his mother, Viaan felt all his breaths knocked up. His eyes widened before a gust of wind compelled him to cough.“Uh-uh-uh…” The poor man choked horribly on air. His hands went automatically to his chest as he rubbed the area to soothe.It appalled Leena to look at him, coughing so badly and all of a sudden. She immediately rubbed his back while concerned words came out of her mouth.“Viaan, oh my god, what happened, son?” It scared her to see his red face due to the terrible cough. “Peter, get water for Viaan!” she shouted for the house help head.A man in his late forties came running with a glass of water, hardly keeping the liquid from splashing all over.“Here, drink it!” Leena brought the glass to Viaan’s lips.Having relaxed a bit from the strenuous act of his body, Viaan held the glass over his mother’s hand and drank it sip by sip.He took two more minutes to relax entirely; leaning on the back of the sofa.However, his mother’s words were still scr

There are moments in life when you are diving into the ocean of melancholy, but the impending situation didn’t let you grieve over your miseries and aches and demand your constant presence of livelihood.How heartbreaking is it to smile through tears?How hard it is to appear merry when practically your heart is splitting into two halves?Kiara had answers to all these agonizing questions, for this was her plight of the despondent moment. The girl couldn’t even let her heart scream and ask god why the worse targeted only her and her people. The grief, suffering, anguish — all the gifts of her fate, perhaps!But, the braves have to be brave in the storm too. Kiara sucked in a deep breath and hurriedly wiped her tears, bringing her shoulders back to a stiff position.“Oh, yeah, it’s really you!” came the confirming reply to his earlier question as the child answered for himself.The door creaked open to full turn as the child merrily stepped in.Hearing the clumsy footsteps padding towa
