Next day after the press conference, the media had cleared most of the issues. Pari and Ian's photos from the press conference were now on the headlines. Glancing at the articles, Ian's lips curled into a broad smile. Pari shot him a curious glance as she served him breakfast. "Look who made it to the headlines?" He showed her the newspapers in his hand. "Don't you think it was expected? After all I have a millionaire boyfriend" Pari replied as she scooped her food. " That's true. But look at what they have written. It's stated that I'm a very domineering and possessive boyfriend" Ian chuckled. "I don't think anything is wrong with that. With the way you kept trying to be my knight in shining armour, it was evident that they would think that way" Pari remembered how Ian didn't let anyone bully her with their questions during the conference. "It's my duty and privilege my dear fiancée. I'd continue to be your knight in shining armour forever" Pari smiled at his cheesy re
Handling the entire scandal and its consequences was a big thing for Pari and Ian. But both of them had managed to stick together. Though everything looked normal at the surface, the mastermind behind the entire fiasco was still to be found. Ian's PI team was working day and night to dig out all the details of the culprit. After a week-long investigation, the conclusions were finally out and Ian couldn't wait any longer when the team head called him at night. "We have good news Pari. The culprit behind the entire scandal has been found. Tomorrow morning, we'll receive all the details and we can proceed with the legal measures" Ian excitedly announced. Pari was happy that the culprits were finally going to receive their deserved punishments, but the thought of Abby's betrayal to Ian was heartbreaking. "It's a great thing that our PI team has managed to fulfil their duties" Her smile didn't reach her eyes. "You.. Don't look so happy?" Ian could easily see through her smile.
Ian came back to the office after the unexpected revelation and went straight to his cabin. He thought of using work as a distraction even when he knew it wouldn't help. Still he wanted to try and forget everything. Pari was anxious throughout the day after the reports were out. But she couldn't stop Ian from having a one on one conversation with Abigail. For once, it was necessary for him to know the real motives of Abigail.Once Ian was back, Pari walked in with his coffee, exactly what he needed at the moment. She made him sit on the couch and started giving him a head massage while he sipped his coffee. She didn't question him about his meeting with Abigail. "You knew about Abby?" Ian asked her after a long time. "I guessed her involvement with the way she threatened to break us everytime we met, " Pari vaguely replied. "Yet you didn't let me know?" Ian asked with confusion. "I knew we are stronger than her and her stupid threats can never break us. Moreover it was all e
Finally there was some peace in Pari and Ian's life after all the chaotic events. There was nothing but love and laughter in their lives. Though the couple had their busy schedules almost every single day, they never missed their regular visits to Anna's place and U&I. Even the kids were always eager to meet Pari and Ian because of all the fun and entertainment that followed their visits. Pari was eagerly preparing all the gifts she had got for the kids along with the cookies she had baked for the kids. She had even ordered Ian to help her with the wrapping papers. Ian couldn't help but agree with his bossy fiancee. Once everything was packed they started their journey towards U&I eagerly waiting to meet their bundles of happiness. As soon as the car engine stopped and the front door opened, kids ran towards the couple circling them completely. Chuckling at their eagerness, Pari and Ian walked inside to the foyer where all the kids settled next to them. The kids continued to talk a
Ian and the staff supervisor, Peter walked inside the room. By the look on their faces, Pari knew that they had overheard the conversation. So she didn't bother explaining the situation and went ahead to tend to Niyara. The silence in the room was soon broken by Ian's words. "The very first condition in your employment contract was that you'll treat the kids with love and care. But here you are, abusing a child even after knowing her condition. Do you really think that your actions will go unnoticed? Do you even have an idea how bad your punishment could be? " Ian's words were laced with anger. "Sir.. I didn't… " Ian cut her even before she could come up with any excuses. "Peter, I want this lady out of this building as soon as possible and please file a detailed complaint on the issue along with the evidence. Make sure to follow up the case till justice is served" Peter instantly accepted all the orders and Pari shared the video evidence she had collected. The accused lady, Cynthi
A week had already passed after the incident at U&I and the changes instructed by Ian were implemented soon. Pari was back to being her busy bee self working on Ian's schedule and meetings. It was a usual Wednesday morning when she received a sudden call on her intercom. She had just been to Ian's cabin an hour ago to deliver his coffee and now he was asking her to come back. Nevertheless she walked in with a notepad in hand, in case she had to jot down anything important. After a soft knock she walked in and found her boss busy staring at his laptop. "You called me? " She asked him after settling on the chair opposite to his. Ian had strictly ordered her to take her seat whenever she walked into his cabin. He didn't want her to keep standing for long hours whenever she was with him, especially in his cabin. He had air quoted it as his boyfriend duties and Pari couldn't really argue about it."Yes I did and I'd like to clear my schedule for this noon" He replied casually. "You coul
Unlike any usual day, Ian decided to drive on his own today and Pari happily accepted the shotgun seat. After some time, Pari noticed that they weren't going to Anna's place, so she looked at Ian with confusion. "I see a bit of confusion in that beautiful face, " Ian said while driving. "You said we're going to meet mom" "Yes," He replied. "And this isn't the way to her place" "That's because we will be meeting her at U&I" "Oh.. " She replied with a nod. Since there was still time to reach their destination, Pari decided to play some music. She picked up her playlist filled with old classic Bollywood songs that she missed a lot after coming to London. Though Ian hardly understood a word or two, he continued to enjoy the soulful music throughout the journey. Once they reached U&I, he opened the door for her like a gentleman and both of them walked hand in hand. Ian took her to Anna's tiny yet aesthetically decorated office where Anna was busy going through some paperwork. "I h
"When I heard about the incident and how you solved everything, I knew you love these kids very much. So I don't really have any issues in having you as a board member dear" One of the directors, Mrs. Stella Rosario happily welcomed Pari. "It's good to see young blood taking part in such a good cause. Welcome aboard dear" Mr. Valentino Dawson seemed excited to work with her. All other members looked happy to have Pari on the board and didn't really oppose the idea. Hearing those encouraging words slowly calmed Pari's nerves. When Anna finally asked Pari to express her thoughts, Ian gave her an assuring hand squeeze and an encouraging smile. With a new found confidence, Pari stood up to speak her heart. "Thank you for accepting me as a part of this prestigious and precious organisation. I'll still be the youngest one here and I'd love to learn new things with your support and guidance. But I'll try my level best to fulfil my duties and help U&I to grow as a beautiful home to every k
