Nikolai and Ivy landed in Aquila the next morning. As per their plan, Adam and Kelly are travelling separately, so that Christian would not get suspicious before their plan could even begin. So far Christian has an advantage over them because they don't know that he was one of the four people for whom Nikolai was searching for. Now that they know everything, they are still pretending to be in the dark. 'Let Christian think that he is still in charge of this vile game' Nikolai said coldly."Mr. Knight, Ms. Johnson, welcome to Aquila" Truman personally came to receive Nikolai and Ivy.Nikolai gave Truman a nod of acknowledgement. He is being his usual cold self. But Ivy smiled at Truman and greeted him warmly."We wish you a very happy birthday, Mr. Truman. Thanks for inviting us today" she spoke softly. Truman beamed at her. "Thank you Ms. Johnson. It's a pleasure to have you here. You don't know how big of a hit your designs are. Not me, but you will be the centre of attention t
"Mills, I think Nikolai is suspecting me. He came directly to my house. But I didn't open the door. He left after that" Coco shared everything that happened with Christian. Fear is evident in Coco's voice. Christian frowned. "What? You didn't open the door and he left? Just like that? Coco, do you think Nikolai is a kid? He is the kind who would not hesitate to break your door open if he is really suspecting you. He must have visited with another purpose. You mentioned that he came with Ivy. She is your son's good friend. She must have come to visit your son. He must have accompanied her. Don't over react and ruin everything for yourself" he muttered with annoyance. He can notice the difference in the Coco whom he used to know in the past and the man who is fearing for nothing. "Don't you think you are worried for nothing? Are you the same Coco who used to be a dare devil? What happened to you now? Why are you so scared of a man who is half your age?" he inquired in a mocki
The party hall where Truman's birthday is being held was decorated tastefully. The elites of Aquila along with the celebrities of all the entertainment industry along with the rich business tycoons attended the party. Men and women are dressed up in their finery to show off their wealth. 'Hey, look, isn't he the famous actor from a super hit film?' 'Oh my god, look at how hot she is' 'Look, it's the designer Mr. Miller. He looks so gentle' 'That actor is so handsome and Muscular ' 'Wait until you see Mr. Nikolai Knight. I heard that he looks so handsome that women tend to swoon the moment he walks inside a room' 'What Mr. Knight is coming?' 'It must be a rumour. Mr. Knight never attend casual parties like this' 'Oh. My. god. Mr. Knight is coming?' Nikolai is a well known figure in both the business circle and the elite circle. If not for his looks, people tend to be impressed by his smart business tactics. Nikolai never bothered to attend parties like these. He wo
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?"
