All Chapters of His Beloved Damsel: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

It was the weekend already and Ian was at Pari's apartment since she insisted. She was cleaning her room when she found a luggage bag lying in a corner of the room. She didn't remember if she had it here earlier or not, so she decided to open it and check what's inside. It had some of her clothes, some photo albums and her medals and trophies.... Her memory went back to the day when she went to Pune. It's been around two months that she hasn't had any contact with her family. She wasn't even sure if they still consider her as family. It was as if they had almost erased her from their memories. The money that she usually sent to them every month was sent back. But still she didn't give up. She tried calling her mother sometimes but her number was blocked after sometime.Pari was looking at all the album photos and reliving those moments. It was a nostalgic moment to recall the way she grew up. Ian walked out of the kitchen to call her for lunch. She was still in the trance of her past

“Then How do I look? " Anna walked into the hall when Ian and Pari were lost in each other. Pari was surprised to see her as Anna was a rare guest in Ian's place. “Mom… You look gorgeous.. Ian.. you should have informed me she is joining us. " Pari fake scoffed at her handsome man. “That’s how surprises work my dear” He was smiling like an idiot, her own loveable idiot… “Welcome home mom.. I didn’t know you would rock a saree so well.. " Anna had indeed managed to carry it very well. She looked great. “It's your man’s choice. Of course it should be great. So what are we doing tonight? " Anna asked her. Pari thought for a second. “Mom, you want to learn cooking indian food right? I’ll teach you, come with me. " She held her hand and took her to the kitchen. “What about me? " Ian looked like a whiny kid. “Complete the decorations Ian. We’ll join you later.” Pari ordered him like a boss lady. “This isn’t fair” And more sulking followed by the grown up baby in the r

October was coming to an end and the hype of Halloween was already high. Pari's friends were in a discussion when she joined them for lunch break during her branch visit with Ian. Ian always let her spend her lunch break with her friends when they came to Lambeth branch. "Looks like there's definitely something brewing up" She looked at Noah suspiciously as he was the one who looked more hyped. "It's nothing, Pari. We were just talking about the Halloween party. Anyways you're also invited to the party. Don't you dare say no" Noah announced. "Wait a second. What party and why am I even invited to it? " "It's the Halloween party conducted by my friend in his club. He told me to bring all my friends, you know 'the more the merrier'. All the members from our gang are going so you're going too" Noah hadn't really given her a choice. "But… " "Pari… join us please. It's been long and it's Halloween. I don't want you wasting your Halloween at your house, all alone watching some stupid

Party soon began as all of Joshua's guests had gathered in the venue. Some of them were busy dancing to the curated DJ's music while some had already attacked the bar section. Pari and her friends settled in a corner with some drinks and refreshments along with some of Joshua's friends. Soon the games for Halloween night were announced by the host and the crowd screamed in excitement. Though Pari was hardly interested in the games, she had no options but to say yes because of her friends. They were playing truth or dare and Sonu forced her to take a dare. The dare looked simple for everyone in the room except for Pari and Ian. She just had to dance with a stranger for 3 minutes and not to forget it should be a male partner. The other option she had was to take as many shots as Sonu decides. Sonu knew Pari can't handle multiple drinks at once so she had to accept the first dare itself. While Ian was fidgety with obvious jealousy, Pari was worried because of two reasons, one being her

November rolled in and the beautiful Autumn was slowly fading away. Ian had won the best business tycoon of the year award. As usual Pari had to attend the ceremony as his date and Sofie was her life saviour. Sofie had created a silver floor length gown with intricate designs for the evening. She even picked up a pair of silver pumps and accessories to go with it. Ian was wearing a jet black fitted suit with a silver brooch and silver cufflinks. It was as if they were doing a subtle show off of their love. George drove them to the venue and it was all about glitz and glam as always. Pari recognized many known faces from their meetings and some of their families because of the business related parties. Ian excused himself to get their drinks and Pari was talking to some of the ladies she knew. “Pari… Is that you? " She heard someone call her name. She turned back to see her stupid ex with his wife, it was indeed a great way to destroy her evening. Still, she smiled at him, of cour
