"You must be kidding me mom. Haa!!" Justin sneered.
"Do you think I'm in mood to joke? At this point of time?"
"The situation isn't right for joking but after listening to you, it definitely seems like you're willing to joke and let me clearly tell you this, THE JOKE WASN'T FUNNY AT ALL..."
"Stop it Justin, just stop it. Did you hear me? Just stop it.." Her breathing became heavy. Mr. Merchant and Edward ran towards her for support.
"Calm down honey. Don't get stressed. You're hurting yourself." Mr. Jason tried to calm her down and made her sit.
"Yes aunty pease. We'll find out the solution. Don't get stressed aunty." Edward gave her a glass of water.
Mrs. Merchant was shaking while drinking the water from the glass. Justin was tensed to see his mom in such condition. After all, he loved his mom a lot and she was the only woman he used to care for besides his sister Abigail.
He had never seen his mom this weak. He regretted talking ha
"What are you going to do Justin?" Edward asked Justin."I'm definitely going to do everything that I can do to find out that rascal. Whoever he is, he is not only going to pay for framing me but also for making my mom cry.""But what if you couldn't find him out? Will you marry.....""I've got twelve hours, I don't want to listen about anything in between this time. I just want to focus upon this case and the methods I'll use to torture that culprit." He said harshly before Edward could complete the sentence."Angelo..... Angelo...." He roared."Ye.... Yes Boss...""What's the progress about the case?""Sir, as you both were stuck in elevator, I thought of researching from there. I got to know that your private elevator was intentionally tampered. Someone intentionally tried to create damage in the elevator which is not possible to be done by others except the mechanics.And we had done examination of all the elevators last we
"Who is that man? Why did he come to you?" Angelo questioned."I don't know. He had idea about the revenge thing I was planning but I don't know who he was. I only know that he was working for someone as he was talking to his boss on phone."Angelo signalled the woman in black, she pulled her hair with great force and forced her face inside the bucket full of water for a long time. Rosy was breathless and was struggling hard to catch breath when she was pulled out of bucket.She cried out in pain. "I'm sorry.. I don't know anything about him. I... I just have his number through which he used to contact me. That's all... that's all...." The woman took out phone from her handbag and asked about the number. Rosy showed her the number, that lady handed over the phone to Angelo."Angelo, you know what to do right?"Justin said in cold voice to which Angel nodded. Rosy understood that her life is near to the end and she started begging for her life crying her he
"Beep beep" Justin's phone beeped which dragged his attention. Very few people have his personal number who are important to him. So even though he had no mood and his anger had crossed all the limits, he still decided to check it out."Ivana's address: Lucas street, Devine apartment, apartment no....." it was message sent by Mrs. Merchant. When he saw the message, he threw this phone on the passenger seat and drove off to her apartment in full speed."Ding dong" Ivana was drying her hair with towel as she had just come out after shower when she heard the bell. She hanged the towel in the balcony to dry and was moving towards the door."Ding dong ding dong ding dong..." "comingggggggg" she said while running towards the door."Who's this impatient person that too at this time.." she thought to herself and opened the door.As soon as she opened the door, her eyes popped out and her voice got stuck on her throat. Justin was standing with both his han
"You know who I am. I'm Justin Merchant. I can do anything I want. Haa! This wedding thing is the only option I have right now or else I wouldn't even look at you.And you woman, don't you dare think to double cross me. Or else, I'LL MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL AND TRUST ME, I MEAN IT." he stepped back after completing his words.Ivana was speechless. She knew he had that power, she knew he will do whatever he said. She cursed the moment she was stuck inside the elevator, she cursed herself to feel so weak. She never felt this helpless before."Here, I've dialled the number, say to my mom that you've happily agreed for the wedding and remember my words, DON'T YOU DARE DOUBLE CROSS ME." He put the phone on speaker."Hello...." Mrs. Elizabeth spoke from the other side of phone. Justin signalled her to talk."Hel... hello Ma'am.""Ivana, my child...""Yes ma'am""Did Justin tell you about... the wedding, and everything?""
"Oh my Lord! Am I dreaming? is this true? They were seriously in a relationship? seriously?""I'm going through shock too. How come the Justin Merchant get into a relationship with a woman?""You know what, I don't think that's true. It's just the technique used to prove Justin innocent and that's all.""Hey but their wedding date has been fixed and even officially announced. This cannot be a joke. They won't do this level of publicity stunt.""But how come they be in a relationship and since when? I remember the interaction between them in the success party which didn't look like that of a couple at all.""I was thinking the same. But after reading the announcement I think they were having a cute couple fight just like this time.""Or maybe they acted that way to maintain the image and not to let anyone know about it. And now that all the speculations are being made, they had no other option than to accept their relationship?""Yeah
"Are you sure you want this?" Nancy asked to Ivana."Ye.. yes... I do." Ivana tried her best to put on a smile on her face."Who do you think are lying to Ivana?" Miya roared in anger. "I've been with you over a decade and if you think you can fool me, then you're mistaken. I know your dream of getting a loving husband and the hope of getting love in your life."Ivana couldn't resist anymore and she burst out crying. Miya's heart softened seeing this side of her best friend. Both Nancy and Miya hugged her and made her quiet."I'm sure this Justin Merchant definitely forced you. I'm not going to leave him." Miya was about to go out of the room but Ivana stopped her."I guess, this is what my life is. God has planned everything in my life except love. sob sob.. And I've accepted the fact Miya. This is my fate. I'm feeling so helpless right now. Everyone knows Miya, he can do anything. sob sob. And now if you'll go against him, he won't spare you too
"Dang...." Justin threw his phone on his bed annoyingly."What happened buddy? Why are you venting your anger on the poor phone?" Edward spoke while entering his room. "And what is this? Why haven't you started getting ready?""Don't the people in this country have any other tasks? I've been getting messages every single minute. Congratulations congratulations congratulations like WTF is wrong with everyone?" Justin roared in anger."Chill man, it's your wedding.The Justin Merchant's wedding, of course every one would congratulate you. Oh yeah, come here, let me give you a buddy hug and congratulate you for the wedding."Justin looked at him as if he'd eat him out at any moment. "Ah ah, don't look at me like that. I've thought of giving an amazing wedding gift to you. Guess what??? A HONEYMOON PACKAGE. Hahahahahahaha... hahahahahahaha... Hahahahahaa...."Justin was looking at him continuously with fierce gaze and his fist tight as ever.
"I want you to make her look the most beautiful bride on Earth. Did you get that?" Mrs. Elizabeth ordered to the top beautician of the country."Yes Ma'am, I'll make sure about that. Ms. Ivana, this way please." The beautician led Ivana inside a VIP room to get her ready."I'll be right back, you ladies please make yourself comfortable okay." Mrs. Elizabeth left to attend a phone call. Miya and Nancy were sitting there observing the parlour.This was the most popular parlour in the nation and Mrs. Elizabeth had booked whole parlour only for Ivana. The wedding dress Mrs. Merchant had prepared for Ivana had also arrived and the beautician had taken the dress along with her.Nancy and Miya were already ready. Both of them were wearing maroon off shoulder A line gown with high slit on the left along beautiful makeover and heels as bridesmaids.Mrs. Merchant came back after a short while and sat along with them discussing about the preparations of weddi
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
