Nina was rushing towards the meeting room to join the meeting. She is late. Ella insisted on coming on time. But Nina got held up in the traffic. Ella is planning to expand 'The Fragrance' and open their own retail outlets instead of supplying to other retailers. They had this proposal on hold for a while now. But this was held back because they couldn't find any prospective investors. Just that morning Ella called Nina and informed her that they found a new investor. But the new investor insisted on meeting Nina before signing the contract. Nina was in such a rush that she didn't see where she was going. Hastily she rounded a corner and bumped into someone. "Ouch" she hissed when something hot spilled on her dress and scaled her stomach. She looked at the person whom she bumped into and noticed that the coffee he was carrying spilled on his hand which is now turning red. "Shit, I am so sorry" she apologized sincerely. She pulled some wet wipes from her bag and started to cle
"My company gets fifty percent of the profits. As we are investing the money and you are supplying the products, profits will be shared fifty-fifty. Our company is ready to invest two hundred million to establish special retail outlets especially for the perfumes developed by your company. We heard that you are planning to release a new series which would be helpful to fight severe depression, sleeplessness, and ailments like that. So, what do you say?" Mr. Fisher shared his company's proposal.Ella looked at Nina first for her opinion. Nina gave a subtle nod. Except for when he spoke with her, he was very professional and didn't make her feel uncomfortable. Moreover, his proposal will take 'the Fragrance' to the next level and help them to stand neck to neck with several MNC's.Ella grinned and she started to discuss the administration side of the proposal. Nina listened to every point intently. "As we are going global, we decided to change the name of the company a little" Ella pro
In the 'MD perfumes ' "Mr. Dankworth, I heard that 'The Fragrance' is about to expand. They found an investor as well. They are opening more than a hundred retail stores in different countries and are planning to sell their products on their own. This way they will get more exposure and profits. If this continues, our group will never be able to gain recognition again" one of the shareholders of the MD group informed Francis. There were only three shareholders who mostly favour Francis and want to go to any lengths to get what they want. They wanted profits and they didn't like the sudden rise of the Vincent group. Francis is not pleased as well. Theo casually informed him to search for other Performers to hire into their company. He didn't give much explanation as to why he suddenly changed his mind or if he met the new perfumer whom Ella Vincent hired. Francis is a business man, and more experienced than Theo. So he didn't like to say what to do."They already have so many p
Just then, a hush fell over the party. All the eyes were drawn towards the entrance, from where two dazzling women were walking inside with confidence. Nina caught everyone's attention. She is extremely beautiful and holds herself with grace and confidence. Her attitude is right and her demeanor demands respect and attention. She might not be the richest person in that banquet, but she is still rich. She is now a millionaire with her shares and her net income. And she alone earned everything. That itself is giving her confidence to walk inside with her head held high. 'Who is she?' 'She is so hot''Oh my, why haven't I seen her before?' 'Finally someone who can outshine Chelsea Dankworth ' 'She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen' 'I want her' Everyone is watching Nina and Ella. Almost everyone recognised Ella, but Nina is a beautiful mystery.Chelsea heard the silent murmurs of the crowd. She didn't like the attention Nina was receiving. She doesn't know that Nina
That raised Barbara's ire. She raised her hand to slap Nina. But Nina caught Barabar's wrist mid-air. Barbara and Silas are stunned to see this side of Nina. The Nina they know and the Nina standing in front of them is completely different. The old Nina wouldn't have dared to stop Barbara or even raised her voice against her stepmother or step brother. But this Nina is behaving as if she is possessed. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Barbara" Nina said evenly, without looking as if she is losing her composure unlike the others.Silas couldn't take the way Nina is disregarding and disrespecting them in front of everyone. "Nina, don't forget that she is your mother. Is this the way you respect your elders? No wonder Mr. Morrison is divorcing you. Who would want to spend their life with a woman like you?" Silas insulted Nina. He is angry that he is losing face in front of his fiancee and her family. Amber is stunned. She heard that Nina can be easily manipulated and is a door ma
"What? Did you not hear what she just said?" Chelsea asked with shock. Theo has a cold look in his eyes. He heard everything and he didn't find anything wrong with whatever Nina just said. Instead, he is angry that Chelsea tried to hurt Nina. "I did. But which part of what my wife just said made you feel like you can man-handle her?" Theo asked evenly. Chelsea is not understanding why Theo is acting strangely today. He never liked Nina to begin with. And after his mother slipped into a coma, he absolutely loathed her. Today he is behaving oddly, which made Chelsea uncomfortable. "Theo, she insulted me in front of so many people. She is pretending to be innocent to fool you. And you are taking her side? Did you forget what she did to aunt Agatha? Did you forget how many times she tried to hurt me?" Chelsea tried to remind why he hates his wife so much. Theo was a fool who believed what everyone else said. Nina was right. He was a blind fool. But not anymore. He would only belie
"I already promised to help with Mom. So you don't have to do all of this for me" Nina told him coldly.Theo looked at her with a strange look in his eyes. It's as if he is looking at her properly for the first time even though they have known each other for one and half years now. "I am planning to tell my Mom about our divorce" he spoke calmly, with a straight face. No one is around the couple, so they are relatively alone. Nina is surprised to hear this from him. He was the one who asked her for her help. Now she is not understanding why he suddenly changed his mind. 'If he was planning to tell Mom about our divorce, then why did he stand up for me just now' she thought to herself. "I don't have any doubts that you might not be able to handle Chelsea on your own. I just felt the need to protect you. I failed as a husband when we were together. I don't want to fail as a human being either. I wronged you so many times in the past. I never gave you a chance to explain. I blindl
"Nina, why didn't you tell me that you are the new perfumer?" William didn't waste any time to bring up the topic which he is interested in.Nina became stiff at the accusing tone her father borrowed to suit his needs. "You were more interested in your step son than to bother about me. So I thought it was not needed" she replied frankly. William's face turned red anger and embarrassment."Nina, watch your tone. I am your father" he reminded her.Theo's jaw became tight with anger, but he refrained his anger from showing.Nina looked at her father cooly. "Don't worry dad, I still remember that you are my father. That's the reason why I immediately obliged to come here when you wanted me to" she replied without missing a beat.Theo hid his smirk, pleased by her don't mess with me attitude. The more he is knowing about her, the more he is finding himself getting attracted to her. William wanted to slap some sense into her, but refrained from doing so. Because he needs her help now.
In the Morrison villa, Aria, Asher Diego and Dena were doing their best to find Cynthia. They are inquiring from people who met with Cynthia recently in hopes that they might know anything about where she might be. But everyone gave the same reply that Cynthia was searching for her missing daughter. But no one knows where she is. They sat down on the couch with a heavy sigh. "It doesn't make any sense. Where can she be? She was obviously searching for me. Now that I am trying to meet her, she is missing. I am sacred Ash" Aria confessed feeling worried about Cynthia. Asher rubbed her arm, silently offering her comfort. It is indeed confusing. Cynthia just vanished into thin air, which is impossible. "Only that bastard Bryan would know where she might be. But he is intentionally not disclosing anything" Diego muttered. Aria filled him in about the situation about Cynthia and the involvement of the Smith's. "We need to do something to make Bryan reveal everything he knows" Aria
In the Smith’s residence, Bryan is glaring daggers at Andrew. "I helped you to find your daughter by disclosing her location, yet you come to my home and accuse me of homicide?" he snapped at the older man. Andrew was wheeled inside the Smith's residence by his guard. Bryan was not too pleased to find the old man inside his residence just when he was planning to send his sister back to the states. Bianca's luggage was packed and she agreed to leave rather reluctantly. She was not too Keen to leave the states as she is now interested in her former classmate. But her mother and brother didn't give her much option to stay back. So she agreed to leave. Just when Bianca was about to say her goodbye's to her mother and brother, Andrew showed up demanding an explanation about Cynthia's whereabouts. When Bianca, Bryan and their mother heard this, they were stunned. Untill then, only Aria and Asher were trying to find Cynthia. That was the reason why they had to send Bianca away. Now, to
After Andrew left, Aria felt exhausted emotionally. Her emotions are all over the place. A father she doesn't trust and respect, and a mother who was a shadow while growing up. Everything is exhausting. She is unable to understand where her mother is and why does her father acting so sweetly which is so unlike him. "He definitely has an ulterior motive" Diego muttered angrily. Asher was thinking the same. "What do you think he wants from Aria?" he murmured. Asher heard alot about Andrew. From others and some from Diego. And no one has ever told him that Andrew is sweet or caring. He is selfish, cunning and can go to any lengths for what he wants. So if he came this far to recognize her as his daughter, even though it would make quiet a stir in the society if it was revealed, he still wanted to recognize Aria as his daughter. So that can only mean that he needs something much more than his lost reputation. And Asher is wondering what that might be. "I don't know either. He is
"My daughter had to live in an orphanage because of Susan. If she would have accepted the truth that we are not meant to be, then so many people wouldn't have to suffer. Are you happy? Susan was adamant to stay with me and declare you as my heir. I gave up everything. Still she was not happy. Now I met my daughter after so long, yet you are determined to separate us once again. What have I ever done to you and your mother to deserve such a fate? What has Aria done to deserve everything that she has gone through? Who is the culprit here? You or your mother?" Andrew continued when he noticed Aria's thoughtful expression. Diego was worried that Aria might believe Andrew and misunderstand him. He just got his sister, and he doesn't want to lose her so soon. "Aria, he is lying. Don't believe him" Diego told Aria desperately. His voice begging Aria not to trust Andrew. Andrew was giving Diego a pitiful look. "I am lying? You proved that you are Susan's son. Can't to feel my love for
"Son? You met your sister?" Andrew asked, trying hard not to sneer. Diego glared at Andrew with disdain and distrust. Andrew is the last person whom Diego trusts. To see Andrew coming specifically to visit Aria felt off. Andrew would never do anything without a reason. So Diego's protective instinct to protect Aria was all time high. Aria on the other hand was looking at Andrew with mixed feelings. This is not the first time she met Andrew. But this time, she is meeting him as her father. The thrilled feelings that she thought she might experience is completely absent. She doesn't feel anything while looking at the man. 'How can he cheat Susan with my mom? How many women did he betray? How badly was Susan and my mom got hurt because of him? And how many more women were his victims?' Aria thought sadly. "She is my sister, yes. But stay away from her. I don't know what your game is, but you can leave now. No one here is going to believe your lies here" Diego snapped. "Son? You
The next morning, Diego, Dena, Asher and Aria were seen waiting for the DNA test report eagerly. They just wanted to confirm if Andrew is indeed Aria's father or not. They sent the samples the night before, and they were promised to get the results by next morning. As both Diego and Asher were prominent figures in Neopolis, the doctors were not slacking off in their duties. "Why are you so anxious? I am sure the test result will show that these two are siblings. Their resemblance would be scary if thats not the case" Dena joked, making everyone laugh. "True, I started to notice the resemblance after you mentioned. They indeed share some similar features" Asher agreed with Dena. Aria and Diego chuckled at their analysis. Despite the anxiety, they both are thrilled to see the results. And they didn't had to wait for long. The test results came in an email. "There are here" Asher announced as he opened his email to check. Everyone surrounded him to see the test results. When they
"How do you feel about your brother?" Diego asked Aria softly. His voice filled with hope. Aria doesn't have any reservations about Diego. He is a good son, a good husband, and definitely a good human. But what if he is not her brother? She is afraid to be too hopeful. She couldn't meet her mother again when she was too eager to meet her. Now, she is scared to hope. "Its not like I don't like you Diego. But they are just guessing that you might be my brother. Nothing is proved yet. It might be or might not gmbe true. Let's see what happened after the DNA test results are out. I will definitely be happy to have you as my brother" she replied. Diego grinned. "Dena always seems to think that our features resemble alot. She is so smart. She saw what we couldn't see" Diego said positively. Aria and Asher smiled. On the other hand, Bryan and Stacy looked troubled. Bianca kept mumbling about Aria and her mother, even in her drunken state. "Bryan, i thought she will be deviated if
"Of course I will. You tell me about the Cunnings" Sandro insisted. Bianca gave him a drunken smile with all teeth. It made him feel repulsed. She leaned down to kiss him, but he dodged it like a bullet. Asher and John looked amused by the scene. "Babe, you are drunk. Why don't you sit properly. We don't want you to puke and ruin your beautiful dress, do we?" Sandro told him and pushed her back and away from him. She slumped back in her seat with a pout that looked more or like a pigs snout. "You are right" she mumbled a second later. Sandro sighed with relief. "Now, what were you saying about the Cunnings?" Sandro inquired again. But Bianca is done talking and she is giving him the silent treatment. Sandro looked at Asher helplessly. "I can't kiss her" Sandro whispered, feeling repulsed just by the image of it. Asher was quite. He decided to step in. "Ms. Smith, what is the relation between Aria and the Cunnings?" he demanded. But only silence greete
In City's Rehabilitation center, Dr Sinclair was surprised when he saw Aria barged inside his cabin. She looked anxious with urgency making her eyes look wild. She was followed by Diego Cunnings, who's mother was admitted in the rehab with them. "Mrs. Morrison, Mr. Cunnings" Sinclair greeted them politely. "Do you have her photo?" Aria demanded, coming directly to the point. Sinclair looked puzzled for a second. "My mother, Do you have her picture?" she explained impatiently. Sinclair frowned. Aria's sudden request was unexpected. But he could understand how she must be feeling. So he decided to help her. He didn't remember having solo pictures of Cynthia, but he have some group pictures with other staff members in the hospital. "Yes, give me a moment" he requested and tapped some keys on his laptop to open the folder where he stores all the photos. It took him a while, but he could finally find the pictures where Cynthia was seen standing alongside her colleagues. Aria wa
