When Ivy turned to face him, Christian was blown for a moment. Her beauty is simply captivating and he couldn't take his eyes off her. "Miss Johnson, I heard so much about your talent from Mr. Truman. It's really a pleasure to finally meet you in person" Christian approached her holding two drinks in both his hands. Ivy is quiet and her expression is blank, except her eyes. Her gaze is looking like liquid fire. The anger and resentment she is holding for Christian is burning like an inferno in her gaze. No matter how much she tried not to show it, her eyes couldn't hide anything. Christian notices the displeasure burning clearly in her gaze. She didn't greet him like he was expecting her to. He is a global award winning designer while she is just a beginner. So the moment of awe to meet someone so experienced in the same field was expected. But it never came. Instead, she gave him a stare as if she was trying to dig deeper into his conscience to pull out the secrets he was hidin
Nikolai escorted a very upset Ivy inside their waiting car. As soon as they entered their limousine, they saw Shawn in the driving seat and Adam beside him. Kelly is sitting in the back on one corner of the bench. The moment Ivy saw Kelly, her distressed face morphed into a grin. "Wow Ivy, you were great back there. You were so convincing" Kelly said excitedly. Both Adam and Shawn shared a look . They both were worried that Nikolai would snap at just the slightest of provocations. Nikolai had his fists tightly clenched and was ready to kill Christian the moment he raised his hand to touch Ivy. But Ivy slapped and salvaged the situation. "He wouldn't have expected that his night would be the beginning of his destruction" Ivy spoke with satisfaction. Shawn turned on the screen inside the limousine, where they have a live connection of everything that is happening inside the Banquet hall. The screen opened to Christian, who is still standing in the balcony with his face red. "
After the clarification statement Christian's PR team released about the incident in the banquet, a buzz was created. Every news channel started a debate on what is right and what is not. They started to dissect Christian's life under a microscope. 'Mr. Miller became an icon ten years ago''Isn't it strange that no one knows about his life before that?' 'Almost all the upper class society is claiming that Christian Miller's behaviour was bad towards Miss Johnson. But his PR team is claiming that he was intoxicated. Was it true? Is Mr. Miller really is a gentleman?' 'He was intoxicated? I don't believe that' 'He was a gentleman. I think this must be a misunderstanding ' The internet is buzzing with the audio of Christian's behaviour. People started to have mixed opinions on Christian Miller after the clarification statement was released. Christian is following the news closely. He is not liking the fact that he couldn't fool everyone. There are still a few who are still think
The Elevator doors opened and the hired goons raised their weapons to attack Nikolai. But they were shocked to see the elevator empty. "What the hell? It's empty?" one of them spoke out loud, showing his shock. The other four men are thinking the same. "It's alright, he will be here sooner rather than later. He has to come by one of these elevators. So let's wait" their leader suggested. And thus they began to wait. "Bro, what about that girl?" another one inquired. They are a group of seven men. They were split into two groups. Five men were given the task of killing Nikolai, while two men were given the task to kidnap Ivy when Nikolai is busy in the basement. Their group is reputed to be cut throat and cruel. They don't have a record of failure. So their group is sought after for difficult tasks and for murders which are to be performed smoothly with efficiency. "Tell them to wait for a few minutes before breaking inside the suit. He must be coming here anytime now" he instru
"Shawn, where is Nikolai? Is he alright?" Ivy inquired with worry when she noticed that Nikolai is nowhere to be seen in their Suite. Shawn gave her an assuring smile. "Ivy, don't worry. Boss will be fine. It's not easy to outweigh the boss. He is smarter, faster and stealthy than the men Christian sent. You don't worry. Let's go. I am sure the Boss will be back soon" he assured her. But Ivy is stressed. Based on what Shawn just shared, she understood that Christian sent those men to kidnap her and hurt Nikolai. 'That Christian deserves what he is going to get' she thought angrily. In the basement, Nikolai found the men waiting in front of the elevators. 'Stupid men. They took the bait ' he thought to himself. It's him who sent an empty car to the basement to divert their attention from Shawn. Nikolai banged a car parked nearby and hid behind a pillar beside the car. All the five men turned to look in the direction from where the sound came from. "What was that noise?"
"Mr. Knight. I was a fool. I will do anything you want. Please spare my life" the leader begged again. Nikolai became curious when he heard this. A smirk appeared on his face. 'Anything I want? Intresting. There is no way I can trust him. But he is bulky enough to be used as a muscle man. I need men to deal with Christian here. Why not just this one?' he thought. "Are you really willing to do anything for me?" Nikolai asked casually. The man bobbed his head eagerly. "Yes , yes. Anything you want. It's a pleasure to work for you than against you. Who wouldn't want to be on the winning side. It's clear that Christian has some beef with you. It's his bad luck that he is going against you. But I don't want to repeat that mistake again. Please, I will be loyal. I will not betray you" he spoke up, showing how eager he is to work for Nikolai. Nikolai chuckled at his eagerness. "You must have got an idea by now that I won't spare the life of anyone who betrayed me. You better no
The early next morning, the video recording of Christian plotting against Ivy to drug her was released by Adam and was released anonymously. Soon, the internet is flooded by comments against Christian. Everyone called out to ban the designs of Christian. And most importantly, the global award which was given to him was revoked by the committee. The reputation, name and fame Christian built over the graves of Nikolai's parents started to crumble. 'That liar, look at how he intentionally targeted Miss Johnson. He lied claiming that it was a misunderstanding. What a big scumbag' 'I heard that Christian is not a good man' 'There was a rumour that Christian killed his biggest competitor who was supposed to win the global award and was mysteriously dead a few weeks before the award ceremony ' 'John Sandler's death cannot be a coincidence. Christian must have killed his biggest competitor' As the internet started to buzz with building hatred for Christian. The woman who was kidna
"I have taken poison before coming here" Kelly's confession broke Adam's heart. "Why? Why did you do this to me? Why?" he demanded tears streaming down in his eyes. His heart is breaking into a million pieces just by looking at her in this state. Kelly cupped his cheek with her shaking palm. "I know you love me so much, Adam. I love you too. I know how much this would affect you. I am so sorry Adam. I had to do this. I dreamt about marrying you for so long. I imagined our kids and even picked their names. But, I am not the same person whom you fell for. I am tainted. I don't deserve a man like you" she spoke with sadness and regret. Kelly is crying too. Looking at the two of them, everyone who is watching them suffer like this couldn't stop themselves from cursing Christian. What Kelly did move everyone. Adam's pain made them feel like it was their pain. "No, l love you. I love you as a whole. Not just your body. Just a mishap which was not in your hands would never taint you
