While Pari was busy drifting to dreamland and Ian busy with his guest, unknown to them some danger was lurking in their lives. Archer, who thought of charming Pari through his wicked plans, had miserably failed. Abby, who was planning to split Pari and Ian through mind games, was doing no better than Archer. That's when Archer decides to level up his game. He had contacted Abigail to meet up for a casual dinner. Abigail was definitely surprised to receive an invitation by Archer, who was clearly the biggest business rival of Ian. Nonetheless, she accepted it and met him."I know you might be surprised with sudden dinner plans, but this was necessary for achieving a common goal" Archer directly jumped into the topic after initial pleasantries. "I wouldn't say I wasn't shocked, but I'm definitely curious to know the common goal now that you have mentioned it" Abby swirled the wine in her glass. "I'm not a man who beats around the bush, so let me get into the topic directly. I have a
"What the hell is happening Austin? What kind of rubbish is running on news channels? " Ian questioned Austin with a stern face. As soon as he was back to consciousness, he got the information about the media mess up about the entire events. This not only damaged his reputation but also meant threat to his company. "I'm sure all these are planned, sir. If I'm not wrong we all know who might be behind this. But we can't jump to conclusions right away. This has already become a hot search issue right now. Some photos of you and Ms. Williams have been leaked through the internet and our PR team is trying to handle things. I have already informed our private investigator and the case will be solved as soon as possible. Maybe we need to have a press conference to clarify things from our end, as it involves both you and Ms. Williams's reputation" Austin tried to explain the situation to him. "Where's my phone? Has anyone from home called me?" Ian frantically inquired. "Your phone
Pari fished through google to understand what her best friend was saying. 'Headstrong CEO head over heels with the Beauty ' , 'Millionaire Caught in action ', 'London's eligible hotshot is taken' blah blah blah were the articles that popped up along with the photos of them from the party. When she opened the crappy articles, she found more nonsense written in it. Some of them had even made speculations of Abigail's pregnancy with photos of her visiting a hospital. "What the fuk is wrong with the media? Why the hell is my boyfriend portrayed as that bitch Abigail's boyfriend? What's with the stupid snaps? Ian can never ever do that. How did they create all this nonsense?" She was frustrated after seeing everything. "Shit.... He must be worried and stressed because of all this nonsense." Now she was worried about him more than anything. She tried calling him but his phone was switched off. She tried Austin's phone and it was busy. She walked downstairs and started pacing around in
"Shall I help you with the breakfast mam? " Evelyn asked Pari as they had now moved to the kitchen ignoring the presence of Abigail. "I can manage Evelyn. You can look for something else or better take some rest since you stayed up last night" Pari knew there would be an upcoming drama and she didn't want Evelyn to waste her time in this bizarre event. "Ok then. If you need anything, just let me know" Evelyn smiled at Pari and walked out of the kitchen. On the way she didn't miss shooting a glare at Abigail. Somehow, Abigail's presence had irked Evelyn especially after knowing the whole scandal news. Pari, who had the kitchen for herself now, decided to check on the groceries and plan the dishes she could cook and began working soon. She carelessly kept humming a song as she moved around the kitchen and it didn't sit well with Abby. "How could you be so calm after knowing what's happening outside? Aren't you worried about anything? People are writing so many things about m
"Need a hand for help? " Ian asked as he walked in and hugged Pari. "I'd appreciate your concern. But I've got this" Pari kissed his cheek as she worked on assembling the dishes. Fortunately Pari had managed to cook most of the things before Abby's intrusion. The romantic gestures between the couple was adding more fuel to Abby's already burning heart. "Great then. I'll just call Austin and Neil to join in" Ian smiled. Everyone settled down on the dining table and Evelyn volunteered to serve everyone asking Pari to sit with others. When Evelyn was about to serve Abby, Pari stopped her, making others confused. "Abby is on a diet. She specifically told me when we were in the kitchen. So I prepared her a detox drink. Evelyn, can you bring that from the kitchen, please" Pari and Evelyn shared a knowing smile. "That's so thoughtful of you sweetheart" Ian appreciated her goodwill. "She's our guest Ian. It's my duty to take care of her needs" Pari said with a smile. Abby co
Since Ian would be busy with all the preparation work, Pari decided to call her buddies through a video conference call to invite them to the engagement party at night. Once she was sure that everyone was on line, she decided to disclose the matter to them. "Ok.. First thing first, I want all of you to take a day off, just inform the PR team that you have higher official's permission" Pari announced. "Wait… Is it about Ian's issue? Should I bring something to beat him up? My neighbour has a couple of baseball bats. We can put them into good use" Avery was already ready to beat the shit out of Ian. The news had already spread throughout the city and Pari's friends were already worried about her. "Yeah Pari, don't worry about anything else. We'll do whatever it takes to make him regret his decision of cheating on you." Sonu immediately agreed to Avery's plan. Pari couldn't decide whether to laugh at their plans or feel happy that they were concerned about her. "Guys.. You
Pari had her lunch with Evelyn after finalising the decor details with Austin over the video call. Sofie came to Ian's place to help Pari to get ready for the night. Pari's outfit was a blush pink colored gown. It was simple, elegant and beautiful. Sofie gave her a simple hairstyle with some clips and accessories to go with the outfit. She had picked off white ankle strap heels for the bride which Pari decided to put on after a quick and nude makeup. Pari decided to keep her pendant necklace since it went well with the outfit and decided to wear some simple earrings and bracelets. Ian was home and busy getting ready in the guest room after meeting his mom. When Pari walked out of their room after getting ready, he stood there in his black tux looking like a Greek god. Pari had to hold back herself from pouncing at him to be honest. "You look like an angel Pari, my angel" He placed a chaste kiss on her forehead. Ian could never get tired of watching his gorgeous girl. "You're
Once all the important guests for the night arrived, Ian and Anna exchanged glances and Anna walked over to the intricately decorated platform to begin the engagement ceremony. She took the mike and welcomed everyone for joining them on Ian and Pari's special day. She called the couple for the ring exchange ceremony. Pari and Ian exchanged their rings and next they had their couple dance as an engaged couple. For a brief moment Pari missed her family being a part of her special day.... Maybe she still needed more luck for such a miracle to happen.. But she couldn't let her pain dampen the mood. Ian who understood her unspoken words, pressed a lovely kiss on her forehead assuring that everything would be fine soon. Everyone present in the venue witnessed the love of Ian and Pari, congratulated the couple and then all of them proceeded to dinner. Post dinner the couple talked to their guest and decided to head back home as it was too late already. George drove them back and Pari's fee
