Noah entered the room slowly, without making any noise. He was afraid that he might disturb Eliana somehow– even though she hadn't regained consciousness yet. He tiptoed to the bedside, carefully lowering himself into the chair.But the moment he sat by her side and took her hand in his own, Eliana slowly opened her eyelids and looked directly at him through her hazy gaze don't. “I… what happened… I don't–”Noah soothed her, brushing over her knuckles with his thumb. “Stay there, don't try to get up. The doctor said you need rest…”“Doctor!? But what happened to me, Noah! I am alright, then why–”“Yes you are perfectly fine. It's just that; some vitamins and minerals are lacking from your body, because of which you're running low on strength. But don't worry, now that you're not just one but two, I am going to double my care. Today onwards, I'm not going to leave the house until you have finished your meals, all your medicines and followed the routine as prescribed by the doctor–”
As soon as Otis heard the words that Eliana was going to be a mother, his face turned completely dark.After all, he had spent all these days planning and plotting, in order to make everything perfect for his one and only son.And what was it all for? Just so that some random girl from a low income family like Frosts, could suddenly appear in their lives and ruin it completely?!He couldn't let that happen, he had to think about something regarding this new problem.But while he was thinking this, he was also aware that Warner must be waiting for his reply. He spoke up, injecting just enough enthusiasm in his voice;“Wow! What great news to have heard in such a long while. I will definitely convey it to Viola, and we will plan our return as soon as possible–”“Oh no, you don't have to plan anything. Just give the details of your whereabouts to Stuart, and he will arrange everything for you. You don't need to take any unnecessary stress, just make sure to do it as soon as possible. I w
“And now, you are just supposed to take proper rest whenever your body demands it, and take care of yourself. I know I am asking for a lot already, but if you are comfortable with leaving your company to me for some time, you can take time off. This way, you won't tire yourself…”Noah started to speak about his concerns as he remembered the words of the doctor, by which it was clear that even a little tension could be dangerous for the child and the mother, both.And in this situation, he couldn't let her take the stress of her business, or in fact anything at all. But before he could have completed his words, Eliana interrupted him, placing her hand over his. “I get it, what you are trying to explain. But it's okay, Noah. I am just pregnant and it's not as scary of a condition, nor is it something to be as fearful of, as you are right now. I can take care of myself and still keep up with my work–”“Absolutely not!”Warner's voice interrupted Eliana before she could complete her se
“Noah, have you got any update from your uncle or aunty about where they are? It is already pretty late!”Noah turned around after hearing his grandfather’s words, and replied quickly. “Not yet grandpa, but I guess they might be on their way. Their plane has touched down safely, and I got that update almost one hour ago…”“Great!! Then what are you doing here? Go and be by Eliana's side, I will personally call them and ask why it is getting so late for them to arrive.”“Okay Grandpa!”Noah nodded before he turned his head in the direction where he had left Eliana with her parents and started to walk towards her.But before he could have even gotten within ten meters of her, there was a screeching sound in the mike, attracting everyone's attention towards its source.He put both his hands on his ears to cover them from the dangerously high pitched and loud noise that held the potential to make him deaf– completely and forever.Meanwhile, his eyes continued to look out for the DJ or th
Hearing Liam's words, everyone's doubts only became stronger– something was majorly wrong within the Kingsley family. As a result, the threads of gossip that had been going on in the soft, hushed tones of whispers till now gradually started to become more and more audible.And while Liam had made it very clear in his speech, that the party was already over, none of them had the courage to leave the premises till now. Even though they could see that evidently, there was some beef going on regarding the inheritance of the Blue Whale Group and the Edencrest Estate, they all were familiar with the fact that Noah Kingsley was the current chairman of the empire.Hence, he was someone they couldn't afford to offend in any way; at the same time, they didn't want to offend Liam, either. Despite being a relatively less- known face, his words had made it clear that there might be a chance for the verdict to be flipped, and the inheritance law might change in his favor.While they all were caug
Viola and Otis stood at the entrance to the now-empty venue, the overhead light casting a golden hue on their polished appearances. A small, satisfied smile played on Viola's lips. Her two piece Chanel suit, an off white pencil skirt with navy blue trimming, hugged her frame elegantly. The sleeveless matching top showed off the light tan on her toned arms– the kind that spoke of afternoons by the beach and carefree moments spent in vineyards and orchards around the European countryside. Fresh white pearls adorned her neck, shining brilliantly, along with matching earrings which dangled delicately from her ears. A brand new Birkin bag hung effortlessly from her arm as she adjusted it absentmindedly. Her hair was freshly blow-dried and styled into layers, framing her face and making it look more rounded and youthful. There wasn’t a single strand out of place.Beside her, Otis stood with a relaxed, almost casual stance. He was wearing a light blue polo t-shirt that contrasted against
Warner wasn't able to believe what he was hearing, he just couldn't think that Otis could ever blame him for something so huge.After all, he had never thought anything bad for Liam, even once, let alone wish for anything dangerous to happen to him. In fact, after Noah had left, Liam was the only one keeping him alive until Noah himself came to know the entire reality. For him, both the kids belonged to the Kingsley family and he had never thought anything otherwise. While on the other hand, Noah was still trying to figure out if his ears were functioning properly or not. Because according to what he had just heard his uncle say, they were clearly trying to blame him and his grandpa for everything.And even though he was quite familiar with their nature of gaslighting each and everyone, it still took him a moment to accept the fact that they actually thought they would be successful in manipulating two adults, like they once had done with a kid !?This was when he heard Warner's st
“What are you saying? It can't happen, this is not true…”Warner finally asked in a somewhat shaky tone, as his age and his fear started to become visible in front of everyone.This was when Liam spoke again, with a sarcastic smile on his lips. “Wow Grandpa! I don't know how to praise you… I mean, you are awesome!! Just awesome!! I wonder how hard it was to understand, especially when I myself had narrated everything. But I can guess your memory and intellect are getting severely affected as you are becoming old!”In one instant, he dropped the taunting smile and mocking tone. “Anyways! Let me give you the answer for your questions, considering your limited capabilities. So grandpa, let's start with clearing your first doubt!I am saying that I am here to take everything that belongs to me. And if, by any chance, you try to intervene, your dear Noah would instantly be sent behind the bars for something which he has really never done. As for your third and last doubt, yes, sure it is
