While everyone was having dinner in peace, Mrs. Elizabeth was constantly getting hiccups." What is the matter mom?" Justin asked. "What are you talking about son?" Mrs. Elizabeth asked back trying to give a smile.
"You know very well about what I'm talking. There's definitely something you want to tell me and that is giving you stress. As a result, you're having constant hiccups." Justin confronted looking straight into his mom's eyes so that he'd find if she's telling the truth or not.
Mrs. Elizabeth thought of lying but after the direct look of Justin, she couldn't do so. So she excused herself and went to her room. She took long deep breaths and took out some photographs and prayed to the god, "Oh god, please do something so that Justin would choose any one girl from these photographs."
She was walking down the stairs when Justin saw a bundle of photographs in her hands. "Let's see the gene's magic now." Edward whispered to Justin. "If that's again about t
"Why did that happen to my son, Jason? He used be such a carefree and loving child. He doesn't deserve this Jason, our son doesn't deserve this. He deserves all the love but his heart has been broken Jason. I can't see him this way." Mrs. Merchant cried her heart out. "Don't worry honey, believe upon God. God have must planned something for our son. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe there is also a reason behind this. I believe someone will come to his life to change him, to melt his heart." Mr. Jason said caressing her hair. "Don't worry mamma, brother will find someone. Until then, we shouldn't let him feel alone. He seems strong but I know, he still feels the pain, the pain of betrayal." Abigail cried in her mother's arm. "You're right my child. I won't give up on my son. I'll try my best to change his mind, I'll try my best to erase those pain of betrayal. I'll do everything for my son. I just wish to get my old Justin back. I just wish to get my los
Justin took a cold shower and looked at the mirror in front of him and said to himself," I am THE Justin Merchant and I am strong. I ain't letting any woman cause trouble for me. I am the most powerful businessman in the country and I just need to focus on my business, not over any gold diggers." Ivana's POV: Ivana was writing on her diary. Dear diary, it's been three weeks since my training have begun. I am really amazed at myself cause I never thought I would even think about doing something like this. But I am learning it, I am doing it. I guess this strength in me is all because of my dad, and also Miya and Nan. Yeah right, also Nan. She's really a good human. And we've become close, like really close. We three spend most of the time together and I'm happy to find a new friend in my life. She has been constantly supporting me. She gives me an hour of training every day and she also taught me some amazing make up skills. Learning some make
Days were passing by and the day of Fashion Event was coming really soon. Now the event was just two days away. Ivana was working really hard for the event. As she's representing the company, she'll have to give a speech as well.Therefore she was even preparing for the speech. But deep inside her heart, she was still not convinced about the model coming on the event day. She left every thing up to God and prayed that every thing will go smoothly. Nancy and Miya were supporting her a lot and Miya was really excited to get the VIP pass for the show. Everything was going on smoothly, her day passed all focusing upon the training and the event itself. (On the other side, Mr. Jason Merchant dialled his phone to Justin.) "Where are you young man?"Jason Merchant asked looking through a file. "I'll obviously be in my cabin at this time Dad."Justin replied from the other side of the phone. "I want to see you right now in my cabin." Mr. Jason re
Everyone was busy preparing for the event which was going to be held tomorrow at the most expensive and renowned hotel "Silver" which was also under the MERCHANT GROUPS OF INDUSTRIES. Ivana was spending all her time practicing walk with her trainer. She was really happy and excited to walk on ramp. All the effort she did was going to give her result. But someone was not happy at all. Someone was fuming with anger and was burning like hell. Guess who? Of course non other than Nia. She tried every possible thing to tame away Ivana from the event but she was not successful. In fact she was hating the fact that Ivana was progressing amazingly and was given priority by everyone. She tried to convince the other models about her being a showstopper is not appropriate and she doesn't deserve it but everyone supported her. Everybody was impressed with her dedication for work and with her kind behaviour and patience. Everybody had witnessed whatever Nia had don
So today is the day of the event. Everybody is energized and excited. All the staffs of the hotel have arrived in the hotel, " HOTEL DE SILVER." Ivana was in a room with Nancy and Miya. They were helping out Ivana to get ready. Nancy was applying makeup on her face whereas Miya was blow drying her wet hair. Miya then curled Ivana's hair. After sometime someone knocked on the door. A staff was standing with a bag and a box when Miya opened the door. The staff delivered the bag and box before walking away. The bag had Ivana's beautiful dress and the box had her red heels. Nancy and Miya helped her with the dress and heel. When she was done, she looked herself at the mirror and was pleased with her appearance. "Wow darling! You look so so so gorgeous.You look like a diva, red lacy gown with this long trail is absolutely flaunting your curves. The slight curl in your long hair is perfect. And the perfect matching heels is working as icing on the cake." Mi
Trainer told them about the meeting going on between the seniors of the company and that they'll definitely find out any solution.The trainer told them to return back to the room until they get a call. At the other side of the hotel, Mr. Jason, Mrs. Merchant, Edward and Angelo were waiting for Justin so that they could find about the solution. "Where did this man go? Here the condition is so serious and the CEO is nowhere to be found." Mr. Jason said in an irritated tone. "He went to check the arrangements for the International partners himself so that there wouldn't be any problem." Angelo replied lowering his head. "What shall we do about this problem uncle? We've already made announcement about the special appearance of the male showstopper. We can't back off now." Edward said in a worried tone. "I tried to find out if any International model is free right now through my contacts but none of them are available who can match the level of tod
"Angelo, tell the trainer to get ready with all the models. I'll bring Justin right after he arrives." Mrs. Merchant ordered. With a bow, Angelo left the room and went to the backstage. He told the trainer about Justin walking on the ramp and to bring all the models at the backstage to decide the style of their entry. Trainer sent a staff to call Ivana on the backstage. When the staff knocked the door of the room, Miya opened the door. "Ivana ma'am has been called to the backstage." The staff said. "Has the model been arranged?" Miya asked. "Well, Mr. Justin Merchant himself would be today's showstopper." The staff said and left. Nancy had a panicked face Ivana asked, "What happened Nan? why do you look so worried?" "It is because I am worried. I am worried for you Iva. The Justin Merchant would be walking on the ramp as the showstopper." Nancy said. "So what's the big deal?" Miya asked. "Do you know who
"NO I AM NOT." Mrs. Merchant said boldly. She continued, "Before you start roaring again, let me finish first. We tried to find out if there's any model available for the event who can match up with today's event but we found no one. And we've already made announcement a month ago. Right now, we have no other option. Either you walk on ramp or let THE MERCHANT TEXTILE to face embarrassment." "This wouldn't be only embarrassment to THE MERCHANT TEXTILE but also to the whole MERCHANT GROUPS OF INDUSTRIES cause we've never disappointed anyone before and always fulfilled our words."Mr. Jason said. "You know me dad, you know me very well. I am not this kind of person and in fact I hate all these media and events kind of things. I am not doing any ramp walk. I am sorry." Justin said firmly. "I thought someone said he can do anything for business right?" Mrs. Merchant said angrily. "Listen Justin, I know you don't like these kinds of things and many ot
IVANA'S POV:"Hey where's our birthday boy?" I asked as I entered Gold mansion with my dear husband, who was carrying gifts for our birthday boy."Well He's getting ready and his tantrums! God! I don't know how will he be in future when he's already so naughty and dramatic now." Miya sighed, shaking her head in helplessness."He'll be as charming as his daddy, isn't it Mat?" said Mark, coming down with our little birthday boy on his arms."Daddy, I'm a big boy now. Say my full name. Momma has kept such a sweet name for me, Mateo." said our little cutie pie Mateo in his cute baby voice grinning innocently who's celebrating his third birthday today."Happy birthday Mr. Mateo Gold." My hubby forwarded his hand towards him like a gentleman."Thanks, Mr. Machant" (as in Merchant) he said trying to shake his hand with him but all his attempts went in vain as his baby hand couldn't hold such big hand. Everyone laughed at his little attempt wh
IVANA'S POV:"Aww! Don't cry baby. You're my little angel, aren't you? Please baby, be a good girl now." I was trying to calm my little princess as she was crying continuously since quite a time."Why is my little princess crying? Is she missing Dada?" It was my dear husband who entered the room with that million dollar smile."Yes. Your little princess is crying since so long and she's in no mood to obey her mamma today." I said making a pout. He laughed at my helplessness and took her in his arms."Why is my little princess crying? Is she missing her Dada? Hmm." He kissed on her forehead saying so. And then he started talking to her. "My little baby is looking so beautiful in this pink frock. She's looking daddy's princess." As soon as he said this, she laughed a little making us laugh too."Looks like princess is happy to hear compliment from her Dada. Her mamma would be happy too if her Dada would take a look on her." I said faking my ang
IVANA'S POV:I was sleeping on his arms, feeling his warmth and love. I was sleeping peacefully but then I felt a sharp pain arising on my lower abdomen. I thought the babies kicked again and that's what causing the pain but then the pain kept on increasing.I felt wet on my gown as well. I tried to tolerate that pain but then it was getting too much. I freed myself from his arms and sat on the bed after a lot of struggle. It was getting hard for me to bear the pain.I couldn't bear it any more so I shook his hands with mine with my face squeezing out of pain and screams escalating from my mouth."What happened baby? Are you okay? Is there any pain?" He asked me as soon as he woke up and found me in pain."I guess my water broke." I couldn't say after this cause I was feeling as if I'll forget go breathe if I try to speak anything now."Baby, don't worry. Everything will be fine, everything will be fine." He was trying to console me but I co
IVANA'S POV:I couldn't be more happy than to know that one of my best friend is also going to have child soon. I just wish Miya could also have a child soon. I just wish to see our children growing up together and turn out to be best friends like us.Children, oh yes. What will we have? Daughters or sons? What would he want to have? Will he be happy with whatever we'll have or does he have any expectations? What if he gets disappointed and his love decreases for me?I felt so worried thinking about it. There's no much time left for my delivery. I can get labour pain at anytime soon and thinking about this only is making my heart ache."What is my baby thinking?" I felt his hands snaking around me, his chin resting on my shoulder while he spoke."Nothing." I spoke looking away cause I was in dilemma. Should I ask him or not? What if his words break my heart or I'd say something that would hurt him? I inhaled a long breath as I was tense
IVANA'S POV:I'm living a very happy life with the people I love the most. I'm carrying our babies inside me. Yes, babies. We got to know that we're having twins. But we haven't checked their gender yet cause we want to keep it a surprise.But my babies are giving me a real tough time. They made me feel nausea for whole three months at the beginning of my pregnancy. I would throw up everything that I would eat, except for cake and Ice cream. That too butterscotch. I guess my babies have similar taste with their father.Now I'm finally in my eighth month of pregnancy and my mood, God! sometimes I feel like eating and sleeping all day. Where as sometimes I don't get sleep at all. And that's when he, my dear hubby sings for me and cuddles me tight until I drift to sleep.Sometimes I feel like eating pizza but the moment he brings it in front of me, I want to eat burger. But my hubby never got irritated or showed anger on me. He always smiled and loved
IVANA'S POV:I can't thank my almighty enough for giving me the best family and such a loving and caring husband. I never thought that I'll ever be loved, though I craved for love all my life. But never in my life had I thought to be so lucky to get all these people in my life. My husband who loves me like I'm his everything, my in laws who love me like their own daughter and Abi, who's like my own sister to me. My friends who are more like my family."Hey wifey. You're looking beautiful and I can't take my eyes off from you." My dear husband said hugging me from behind with his chin resting on my shoulder."My husband's looking extremely handsome as well. I think I'll have to put my eye over you now. What if someone lures my husband?" I said looking at him through the mirror on my dressing table."Hmmm. Well you won't have to do all that hardwork baby. Cause your husband has no time to look over other woman. He has got his eyes upon his dear wife."
JUSTIN'S POV:I felt disturbed when I felt sunrays hitting on my face. I didn't want to open my eyes but those sunrays didn't spare my lovely sleep. I moved my hand around my side cause I couldn't feel her in my arms. But wait, why is this side of bed so cold? As if it's empty since long time?I opened my eyes after blinking for some times only to find myself alone on the bed."Wifey...." I called out for her but I got no response from her. I walked towards washroom to check upon her but she wasn't in washroom as well. Where might she go? I was getting worried for her. I dressed up on whatever I saw on the closet as soon as I could.I reached out to door knob to find a note: "I AM WAITING FOR YOU ON THE SAME PLACE WHERE YOU TOOK ME YESTERDAY, COME SOON."What is she up to? I was nearly out of breath for not finding her beside me. I ran out towards the beach as soon as I could, just to find her looking at my way, smiling and waiting for me.I
(MATURE CONTENT AHEAD!!)IVANA'S POV:He was singing for me and all I could do was to stare at him and thank my almighty, for gifting me this man in my life. I couldn't move my eyes away from him and in fact every words that he sang made my heart fill up with emotions.He's the best thing that happened to me in my life. If God would give me a chance, I would ask for the permission to meet him even earlier in my life. He embraced me, making me feel loved and secured. He wiped out tears from my cheeks and that's when I realized that I was crying.He captured my lips with his, showing me the love he has for me in his heart, pouring all his heart. I kissed him back, with the same passion and love.I just love this man with all my heart and soul."I love you." I said when both our foreheads were attached after breaking our kiss."I love you too baby." he too replied me, pulling me even tighter in his embrace."Let's go wifey, it's getting c
IVANA'S POV:We've been travelling since six hours and the jet is about to get landed as per the announcement. I'm super excited to see where we're going for our honeymoon. I've tried all my ways to ask him; by kissing him, by making cute faces but he still resisted. God! I'm so excited to know the place."HUBBY! WE ARE IN MALDIVES!!!!!!!" I screamed as soon as we landed. Wow! We... are... in... MALDIVES! I'm so super excited to see and explore this place."Hubby, how long are we going to stay here?" I just hope he says at least a week or even more for better. I just want to live here and collect memories for my lifetime."A week." he smiled looking at me and I left a breath with a huge smile. Yessss! A week. I'll collect enough memories within these time."Where are we going today? Where will we go first?" I was so excited to explore this place. I just want to run and see each and every corner of this place."Relax honey, we're going go hot
