November rolled in and the beautiful Autumn was slowly fading away. Ian had won the best business tycoon of the year award. As usual Pari had to attend the ceremony as his date and Sofie was her life saviour.

Sofie had created a silver floor length gown with intricate designs for the evening. She even picked up a pair of silver pumps and accessories to go with it. Ian was wearing a jet black fitted suit with a silver brooch and silver cufflinks. It was as if they were doing a subtle show off of their love.

George drove them to the venue and it was all about glitz and glam as always. Pari recognized many known faces from their meetings and some of their families because of the business related parties. Ian excused himself to get their drinks and Pari was talking to some of the ladies she knew.

“Pari… Is that you? " She heard someone call her name. She turned back to see her stupid ex with his wife, it was indeed a great way to destroy her evening. Still, she smiled at him, of cour

    The awarding ceremony began and when Ian went up to collect his award, Pari's heart swelled up with pride. She was happy to see her man, successful, beaming with pride and joy. He walked back to her after rendering a poise and perfect speech on stage. He place the award in front of her and whispered “It’s ours” This sweet gesture made her tear up instantly. The amount of love and respect he had for her made her feel worthy of all the tough times she had to go through. Next the MC announced that it was time for dance and Ian asked for her hand and she happily accepted. He took her to the dance floor. As the soft piano music played, he took her in his arms and started dancing to the melody. She remembered the first time he asked her for a dance when she had just begun working as his assistant. His strict orders, serious face and his calm yet dominating demeanour…. The man in front of her right now looked completely different. Though the strictness at work still remained the same, she

    Pari walked back to the hall and saw Ian with Archer.. 'Damn this nonsense man trying to get on Ian's nerves all the time, doesn't he have a business to handle?' she thought. She walked up to Ian and stood next to him. He knew she was the only one who could calm him down. “Gorgeous as ever Ms. Deshmukh. Ian indeed has a good choice for dates” Archer spoke with a wicked grin. “Of course Mr. Smith. He always picks the best unlike others, who are happy with second hand stuff." She smirked at him. “Smart mouth I see. One day I would love to see that mouth calling my name with lots of love " Archer's lust filled eyes made her skin crawl. That’s it, Ian lost his last ounce of calm and his hands were now on Archer’s shirt collar. “I’d rip you apart Archer. Trust me I wouldn’t mind a crime. Her name doesn’t suit your filthy mouth. So keep your thoughts and eyes off her. I warn you, I don’t mind a crime” Pari panicked and tried to calm him, after all she didn’t want to s

    Next day after their arguments, Pari went back to office as usual. She thought Ian would be back to his senses after a whole night of thinking. But his cabin, which was closed when she looked in the morning, remained empty throughout the day. "Maybe he needs time to calm down. Maybe I should let him be '' were her thoughts. So she decided to work on her things. But working as his assistant in his absence felt weird. Austin had volunteered to accompany her to the lunch. After an entirely gloomy day, she went back to her lonely apartment. Ian hadn't called her or messaged her since that night. Her fingers were itching to call him or atleast text him to know if he was ok.. But she restrained herself. Next day was the same too.. He didn’t bother coming to the office, nor did he think it was necessary to inform her about his absence. At this point all her logical reasons were out of the window and she wanted answers to her questions. So she walked into Austin's cabin and asked him where

    Pari drove her car to Ian's place. He was nowhere in the hall and she met the regular maid at his place, Evelyn. Evelyn was a lady in her late forties, who used to work at Anna's place earlier. Due to Pari and Anna's constant pleading Ian had finally agreed to let her work at his bungalow. “Where’s he? " Pari asked her politely. “He's been upstairs for 2 days. He doesn’t eat well or sleep. Either busy with laptop or Piano. Please talk to him” Evelyn spoke with a concerned tone. She knew how worried Anna was about her son's health and food habits when she lived with Anna. So once she started working at Ian's house, she always took care of his health like her own son. “I’ll do that. Can you please prepare some food and keep it warm before you leave?” Pari asked her. “Sure. Take care mam” Pari smiled at her. Pari loved the way Evelyn adored Ian. Suddenly they could hear piano chords from his study. While Evelyn made her way to the kitchen, Pari climbed the stairs carefully s

    Christmas was on its way to the cold and chilly London. Anna had strictly ordered her kids to come home for Christmas. So Pari and Ian didn’t have any choice. They had to wrap up all the important work before they leave for Christmas vacation. So the important meetings were scheduled throughout the week on the week before Christmas. They were having a meeting with their partners from various sectors and the plan of actions for next year were to be discussed. Ian sat next to Pari in the meeting room as usual and Pari was busy taking down the notes of the meeting. Everything was going normally, but she didn't know what problematic food he had for his breakfast, his nonsense and naughty side of the brain was switched on. His left palm which was resting well on the table was now on her thigh after some time. Her breath hitched when he started drawing random patterns on it while others were busy with presentations. 'For heaven’s sake I’m not his drawing book and he isn’t a prescho

    She had played well, Ian should have been careful with her intelligent girlfriend. Her perfect comeback plan had left him hot and bothered. He called her through the intercom once he revived from his shock. "You didn't play fair Pari" He whined. "We were not playing Chess Ian. There are some things I'm good at too. You shouldn't have underestimated my talents " She was giggling in mockery. "This game is on Pari. We'll play this some other day " Ian was determined to win. "Bring it on Mr. Evans" "Sure soon to be Mrs. Evans" The special endearment he used had already caused her to blush deep red. "I have things at hand. My boss needs notes. So please restrain yourself from office romance and focus on your work too" She tried to divert the topic. "Sometimes I feel like I'm your employee. You keep bossing around me a lot these days" Not that he ever complained. For a man who hardly accepted commands from anyone else, he was an obedient pup for all her demands. "Well I love bossing

    Finally after the long vacation Pari and Ian were back to office to their normal schedule. Once done with arranging his cabin, she was waiting for him with his coffee. When the clock struck 9 he walked in with his perfect bossy aura and expensive clothing. Even after so long, Pari was still in awe with his looks and attitude. "Good morning sir" She wished him with a perfect professional smile, even after he had practically begged her to call him sir when they were inside his cabin and alone. "Morning my love, So what are we doing today" Ian loved teasing her with multiple nicknames especially when she had strictly said no to office romance. They loved riling up each other and none of these tiny teasing caused a problem in their lovelife."Luckily not too many meetings, but the construction sector is waiting for your approval with some projects. So we'll have a discussion with them after lunch. Till then you need to check all these files and sign them" She handed him some files which

    Pari was busy stuffing her face with junk food in her apartment in the evening as she binge watched a show. It was already Thursday and they had to attend a party on Friday night. So she called Ian to discuss the plans for tomorrow. "Ian, Will you pick me up after I get ready at my apartment or shall I get my things and come to your place and get ready? " She asked him while wiping her hands clean."I'll pick you up so you can have a good amount of time to get ready" Ian answered. "Oh please.. You should feel lucky because I hardly take much time to get ready. Anyways, help me with the gown. I'm stuck between blue and baby pink. Both are gorgeous." Pari sighed. "I'm sure both look good on you. But I've always admired you in blue. You look like an angel in blue" Ian replied. "Cool, blue it is then. Anyways, do you have any idea how boring this party would be? I need to be mentally prepared" Pari never really enjoyed the suffocatingly sophisticated parties, she preferred a simple pa

    During dinner both of them tasted all the lovely desserts prepared by Ian and Pari was instantly in love with the taste. "Were you planning to get me into the hospital with so much sugar?" She asked him. Though it was a sweet gesture, it was really a sugary proposal, thank god she didn't have any health issues. "I didn't want to take you to some stupid 5 star restaurant for dinner. You love what I cook. So this seemed like a better idea. Moreover, dessert is my forte." He winked. Ian had a huge sweet tooth, so he would always pester his mom to prepare something to satisfy his cravings. In the process of making it, he would learn the recipe too. So desserts were indeed his forte. "Of course.... " Pari couldn't disagree. "And the girl I love is very sweet. So I thought something sweet would go well, " Ian cheekily replied. "Your sweet girl would have lost her sweet tooth if not for the spicy dinner. But thank you for putting up so much effort. I know it's not easy " "Anything for

    Ever since Pari planted the idea of the need for a perfect proposal, Ian got busy with planning it, trying his level best to keep it a secret. After brainstorming for a week, he was ready with his plan. Since she didn't expect anything fancy and extravagant, he decided to keep it simple and loveable. It was a normal Wednesday when Ian informed Pari that he had some paperwork regarding new property, so he would be off early. Since he didn't have anything important to do, she didn't complain. She decided to stay back and complete all the work in his absence. Since she was busy she didn't check the time and it was already 6.30 when she finally completed her work. She gathered her things and walked to her Audi. She drove to his place since it was already the weekend and Ian never really loved spending weekends separately. The door was ajar and she couldn't find Evelyn anywhere. As she continued walking she realised that the dining room smelled delicious and tempting, so she walked in af

    Finally Pari was back at home and her friends had prepared a recovery party for her at Ian's place. A large board that read 'welcome home' and a cake with a note 'For health and happiness' in a messy handwriting was waiting for her. Pari couldn't help but laugh at their messy last moment planning. But she loved them for their efforts. Later at night when everyone enjoyed wine and beer, Pari could only sip fruit juice. All the delicacies cooked were strictly scrutinised by Ian before she had it. After a hearty dinner and a hectic cleaning session everyone returned to their homes. After freshening up Pari and Ian settled in their bedroom. While Pari scrolled through her social media apps, Ian focussed on his work. It was almost late at night when Pari finally convinced him to sleep. So Ian cleared up everything and settled in their bed. Both of them had a peaceful and content sleep that night as they laid in each other's arms. Next day Pari had to literally kick him out to go to work.

    Paris's situation was much better by the next day and Ian felt relieved when the doctor informed that she could be discharged soon. Anna and Pari's friends visited her during lunch time and convincing them that she was alright was a tedious task for Pari. Anna had specially cooked lunch for Pari as she had complained that the hospital food was terrible. So Pari took this chance to tease Ian that his own mom loves her more than him. "Of course… I was kicked out of her priority list once you entered our life. I'm just a lonely millionaire longing for some love" Ian wiped his fake tears. "Why don't you consider an acting career Ian? I guess my daughter can manage all your business from now on while you focus on acting" Anna and Pari high-fived each other and Pari's personal cheer team supported them. Ian was just happy to see all of them happy. After the tragic incident, all their lives were filled with gloominess and now finally he could see some rays of happiness.By evening it was

    As expected, Pari was teary eyed when Ian completed reading. Ian's crumpled shirt now had the proof of her emotions, but all he did was pat her hair carefully and place a kiss on her forehead. "He loved her so much…But still they couldn't be together" Pari spoke too softly because of her wrecked emotions. "Life can not always be fair Pari. Sometimes we may not get what we dream of. But that doesn't mean the end of the world. We all need to move on and take a second chance" Ian tried to convince her. "But is it easy to forget someone whom we loved with everything we had?" "No… It's not… Everyone takes their own time to heal. Moreover, moving on doesn't always mean that we forget the person. We will continue our lives without their presence, but the memories we made will continue to be a part of our lives" Pari continued to bask in the meaning of his words."I had a dream last night… " Her words came out like a whisper after a long time. "Was it bad or good ? " Ian asked. "I can't

  • His Beloved Damsel   Chapter 108 : Side effects of boredom

    Pari was bored after laying on the bed for the entire day after waking up. Ian was strict on his conditions of not letting her move. Even during her washroom visits he would make sure that she hardly took four steps. She felt as if she was severely injured and strictly on bedrest, while in reality she was just a bit weaker than usual. But Ian wasn't taking any risk. Even her doe puppy eyes didn't yield any benefits this time. So she huffed and continued glaring at him while he continued working.The doctor had asked her to have light and soft food which she found extremely bland. Being brought up in a family that always had flavourful food, Pari had a real time struggle with hospital food, but Ian kept convincing her to have a little bit. By the time she finished dinner, she was hating the hospital with her entire being. "It's called abuse of power Ian. You wouldn't let me walk, use my phone or anything. You work and find some distraction, while I'm lying here all day. I feel like an

    "You are a lucky girl, he has been on his toes since he arrived here. Only few lucky ones receive such blessings" Lily spoke as she helped Pari to settle in a better position. "I'm indeed lucky… " Pari replied with a smile. "How long was I sleeping? " Pari asked Lily after a brief moment of silence. "After you were admitted and treated, you were under observation. Next day the sedatives had knocked you out. So technically I can say more than 2 days""No wonder I feel as if I have slept for too long" "Your friends were here too along with Ian's mother. They are really lovely people. They care about you a lot" Lily filled in. "These are the only people I have in my life. They are the reason for me to fight for life" Pari replied with a tiny drop of tears. She had no one else but them right now. She had her parents, but now… she had lost them in the battle of love and happiness. What if she couldn't survive this misfortune, what if she had really left this without bidding them a goo

    Sunlight slowly peaked into the room through the gaps between the curtains when Ian groggily opened his eyes. He quickly took a glance at Pari and she was still fast asleep. He kept staring at her for sometime hoping for some miracle, but nothing much changed. So he had to stay strong and get ready for the day. After freshening up, he changed into the spare clothes and settled for some coffee. He didn't have much appetite for food, so he decided to skip it. The duty doctor was back in the room and checked her vitals and other reports. Ian was eager to know why she was taking such a long time to wake up. "Everybody reacts differently to medicines. Not to mention it was a near to death experience for her when the incident occurred. So her brain and body has to go through a lot of healing before finally reacting to the present situation. You don't have to worry about anything else, let her take time to recover. The reports are pretty much normal so she'll be fine soon" The doctor's adv
