Ada Jane, 24 years old, had a beautiful face with a pair eyes filled the colour of night followed by her small nose reaching out her rosy lips with a long slender neck highlighting her beaty bone and her slim waist with her curves made her stand out of the crowd...... But her beaty was hindered behind her cold and indifferent behaviour.

She was an architecture by profession and holded a good position in her company. She was polite to everyone, less talkative and more like an introvert.

She had a lovely family with a younger sister and loving parents. Her family was her top most priority, after her family her only close friend Ashley.

Ada and Ashley met on the first of their college and since then she was her only close friend. It wasn't like she didn't had friends but she believed Ashley as her only close friend.

Ada was lived alone in a small apartment, she left her parents home when she was 20 and bought herself an apartment.

She lived a normal life, wake up early, some workout, eat, work and sleep. Out of these she had interest in marshalarts.

She was getting ready for work, she wore an apricot red co-ord set, light touch up on her face with her favourite perfume, pink tint lipstick and she was done.

After eating her breakfast, she locked her apartment took the lift to the basement.

As she reached the company,

She entered her office, started her computer and started working on her projects.

After an hour she heard a knock, with her permission the person got in.

He said : Miss Jane, Sir asked for your presence.

In his respond, Ada lifted her eye lids and nodded lightly.

She got up and followed him.

Now she was standing infront CEO"s cabin. She entered the cabin and greeted him with a light smile on her face.

She asked: Mr. Scott, you called me.

Mr. Scott was a middle aged man in his early 50s, he was a kind and humble person and every employee respected him so does Ada.

Mr. Scott said: Yes, Miss Jane. Actually I have a project for you. It might be our biggest project and I don't want any mistakes, so I want you to do this project.

Ada said: Ok sir, I will do it. Please send me the details of our client and other necessities.

Mr. Scott said: Sure, they are the owner of the top most company in our country. I will ask my secretary to give you the rest of the details.

With a small yes, she left the cabin and got back to her work.

After some time secretary Vic, gave her the files which were related to her upcoming work.

She took the file in her hand and as she read the file, her hands began to tremble in anger.

She immediately closed the file. Her breathing was getting heavier, she took few minutes to calm herself.

She took a glance at the file again, and read it once again. She didn't wanted to see the persons details, she skipped the part and started reading about the details. Without wasting any time she started her work, she wanted to finish it as soon as possible.

For the whole week she worked day and night to complete the design, and now when she was done with her work, she layed on her bed.

She closed her eyes.

"Cherry don't look here and there focus on your work, the guy flicked her head with his fingers

Aiyaa.... why are you hitting me, I am tired now....I don't want to study anymore and she poutted

Then forget about your favourite pasta, I won't make it until you finish these problems.

Her eyes widened and with a heavy sigh, fine I will finish them right now.

She was angry, but still felt the warmth of his light chuckle"

Ada opened her eyes, when she heard her phone ringing.

She looked at the caller ID "Mom"

She picked up the call and said "Hey Mom! how are you?"

Her mom replied "I am great as always, What happened to you? You sound tired"

Ada smiled and said "Nothing mom, I just finished my project and was going to take a nap"

Her mom said "Oh.. so sorry dear.... It's weekend Ada, why don't you come here and take some rest... your dad misses you"

Ada thought for a moment and said "Ok mom, I will come tomorrow... but don't expect me to stay more"

She heard her mom sigh "Fine, but do come tomorrow"

Ada said "Ok mom"

Somewhat Ada for what her mom was calling her to come over, but she knew if she didn't go there her parents won't be able to rest.

She drove away the thought coming through her mind, she completed her night routine and slept as soon as she fall on the bed, as she didn't had enough sleep for the whole week.

The next morning, she drove her car to her house, which she bought for her parents, half an hour away from her apartment.

The house was neither small nor big it was enough for her parents and her sister to live comfortably. The house looked beautiful inside and out, as personaly designed it by her parents taste with a bit of morden technology.

Standing infront of the house she pressed the door bell, soon a maid opened the door. She welcomed her, and she made the way to the hall. Her parents and sister were sitting in the sofa stood up to welcome her.

Her mom hugged her and said "God, my baby is here"

Her father standing behind her mother, waiting for his to hug his precious daughter.

Ada said "Mom dad, I just visited you 10 days ago"

Her father embraced her and said "but it feels like 10 years dear"

Ada signed and said "don't be so dramatic papa"

After a hearty family reunion, she sat beside her sister Annie.

The maid bought some snacks and tea. After some chit chat, Ada heard her mom

"Ada you are already 24 now, and you have done enough for us baby.... now I want you to live for yourself"

Ada knew what her mom was trying to say.

She immediately said "mom, please HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE, I AM NOT READY TO LET ANYONE IN MY LIFE.... I don't want to know someone, neither I want to get married nor I am interested in anyone"

Her mom said " But Ada-"

Ada said calmly, but there was a hint of anger "Mom please after that incident... I won't be able to trust any guy... and I don't want any more discussion in this topic"

Ada got up and straight went to her home.

Ada locked herself in her room. Her heart was in pain, she wanted to cry but not a single tear left her eyes. A flashback hit her mind, all the heart breaking memories, which she fail to dump them in her heart.

With all those bitter memories, she tried to sleep, after a long fight with her mind, she fell asleep.

Around midnight, she yelled

PLEASE NO!" and woke up breathing heavily, her forehead was covered with sweat, her heartbeat was fast. She got the nightmare again.

She heard her parents knocking the door, she got out of the phase and drank water.

She opened the door and heard her mom's panick voice "What happened? Why you shouted?....... it was that nightmare again.... right?".

Ada looked at her mom and nodded hesitately.

Her mom said "I am really sorry dear..... I didn't wanted to bring your memories..... I am really sorry"

Ada smiled sadly and said "it's okay mom.... you should go back and sleep.... I am fine"

Her mom asked "are you sure?"

Ada said "yes mom"

Ada took a deep breath, and stood near the window and stared at the sky.

"it's all because that damn name...... I just hate his existence in my life.....

I wish I never met him....... God I just hope this project won't bring any problems......

It took me alot to be where I am....... I hope that Strom won't enter my life again.....'

She just stared at the sky blankly.

The next day,

She walked to Mr. Scott's cabin, and said

"Sir I have completed the project, you can aske them to start the work.

Mr. Scott's eyes widened in suprised as he said "This early.... I just gave you the project a week ago.... and you have completed it already"

Ada smiled lightly and nodded lightly.

Mr. Scott was going through the designs, as he said out "It's AMAZING!... Miss Jane you did a great job... I hope they will like it."

Ada said "Sir, please inform me if they approve these designs, I want to finish this soon".

Mr. Scott said "Sure"

Ada was sitting in her sipping her hot chocolate, when she heard her phone ringing. She took a glance at the ID, and smile.

She picked up the call and heard a cheerful voice "so how are you doing girl?"

Ada replied "I am doing great. What about you?.... How your wedding preparations are going?"

The girl on the other side chuckle and said "well we still have time.... you know he is really busy..... he barely manage to took days off for our wedding"

Ada said "Well best of luck.... now tell me what's the purpose of the call?"

She said "Well we are planning to for shopping...... and there are many more things that you need to handle"

Ada said "I see, but you know I have alot of work pending here-"

She immediately said "I don't want to hear any word related to 'work'... are trying to be a donkey or what? work... work...n .... work.... don't you know there are other things to do in life...."

Ada said as giving up again "ok... my mom.... I will be there..... just tell me the time and place..."

She said "Good"

Ada asked her hesitately " umm.. Ash, will he also come to the wedding?"

Ash said "Well I don't know about it, I didn't talk about him, but I am not sure"

Ada said with sad tone "umm ok"

Ash asked with concern"..... Ada are you fine...... please Ada don't do this to yourself..... you need to live a good life"

Ada went stiff for a moment and said

"My life is all good, and don't worry about me.... send me the address, I will be there" and she hung up the call.

"I just wanted to avoid these crowded areas....... and shopping is too tiring for me....

I prefer online shopping or no shopping...... but it's her wedding...... I can't say no......

But His friend Ash's would be husband will be there....... he is the best man for her......

He is a good brother for me too...... but his friend...... ugh Never mind......"

She was about to calm herself down, but she heard the news saying the buisness tycoon 'Davan',

"Mr. Davan is among the youngest successful President in the country.....

His company is a leading group of construction and holds great shares of top companies in the country and from others countries too......

His face and name is still unknown, everyone is curious to know about him....."

"Our sources reported

there is an invisible clash Between Davan's and Milton's company

Milton's share were going decreasing since, the company was handled by Jason Milton.....

And now, Davan's are holding greater shares....

Some rumours were also spread,

Jason Milton is involved with black world....."

Ada just changed the channel to music one, and started her work.

'what a strange person...... why does he needs to hide his face......

In his position I would be dying to show off myself.....

Milton's, Jason did told me about the losses his company was going through.....

But I didn't expected them to be involved with underworld.....

Whatever, I shouldn't believe in rumours......'

Ada was standing infront of the city mall, waiting for Ash to come. She was there for already for than 20 min, and she was just staring at her watch, tapping her feet along.

She heard footsteps approaching her, she turned in instant and blurted out

"What the hell were you doing?" her sound died as she man standing infront of her. She felt deja vu as this incident made her recall her memories.

She saw the man's face was covered with mask, only his eyes were visible. He had dark brown eyes, he was wearing a three piece, navy blue suit with white shirt.

Without thinking for a moment, she said sorry and left. She felt afraid of the feeling she caught for a minute before. She was afraid of the familiar feeling by seeing that man.

She was called out of her cloud of thoughts when she heard her name.

Ada said in annoyed tone "What were you doing?... you know I hate waiting..... and it's your wedding shopping, still you made me wait for almost 30 min"

Ash said "Sorry... I am really sorry, I was just waiting for for Seth to come."

Ada's eyes saden for a moment, ignoring her feelings she said "Great..... It will be fun to tease you with him... but where is he?"

Ash said "He will be here in a moment, he is attending a call.... his boss never leave him alone" saying this Ash pouted a little.

Ada chuckled and said "Well make sure, his boss doesn't call on your wedding night"

Ash blushed and glared at Ada, said "Shut up"

While they were giggling, they heard a familiar manly voice "hello ladies, what are you talking about"

Ada said "nothing, we were just talking about your wed--"

She couldn't complete her words as Ash sealed her mouth with her palm.

Ash said "Nothing, just about wedding shopping, Shall we go now"

She glared at Ada to shut up her nonsense.

They had a great time, strolling around the mall. They were in a bridal showroom choosing, Ash's dress. Ash tried few dresses, and looked at Ada and Seth for their options.

Seth couldn't say anything, as he found her beautiful in every dress, but Ada wanted her to try few more dresses.

Ada was really picky when it comes to these things, but her choices always turned out to be the best.

While Ash went in for another trial, Ada saw a dress on a mannequin, she asked the workers to get the gown.

The gown was beautiful elegant, filled with floral crochet. It have off shoulder sleeves, made of delicate flowers, below the waistline the gown the flowy, with beautiful floral embroidery and shinny fabric.

When Ash came, Ada asked her to try this gown.

While Ash was in changing room.

Seth said "How you are doing Ada?"

Ada said "I am good... What about you? Ash said that you are always busy"

Seth said "Well the company just started, and it has alot of projects, so to be on top we have to work alot"

Ada just hummed, to his response.

Seth said "When you are getting married?"

This question was like a knife stab in her heart.

Her face become gloomy, and her voice was indifferent. "I didn't plan to, and I don't want to"

Seth was about to say something, when Ash came out of the changing room. Ada eyes shinned in excitement, and so were Seth's.

Ada said "You look really beautiful in this..... it's confirmed.... it looks the best of all"

Ash was blushing, she looked at Seth who was lost in admiring her.

She coughed off little to grab his attention. Her eyes were asking him for his opinion.

Seth pulled himself up walked towards her said "I am lucky to have such a beautiful bride"

Seeing them happy, Ada smiled at the couple who were so in love with each other.

A thought ran through her mind

"will I get these in my life too.... can I get the love of my life...."

She shook her heads, avoiding these thoughts.

"Hey love birds, I am still here. So is this final"

Ash looked at the mirror once again and said "yes"

Ada said "Now , shall we go ahed?...."

Ash said "no, not now.... we have to choose for bridesmaid too..... now you will be the one receiving the torture with no. of dresses" Ash smirked looking at Ada

Ada trying to escape from the situation "No.. no ... I have enough clothes.... I don't need anymore....."

Ash said with a grin "no my dear friend.... you have pay for the torture you gave me just now..... and it's my wedding.... I don't want see your old gowns or dresses."

Ada accepted her defeat and we're standing there, waiting for Ash who was coming with a bundle of dresses in her with a helper beside her, whose hand were also filled with the bunch of dresses.

Ada's eyes widened in shock, looking at the bunch of dresses Ash bought.

Seth whispered in her ears "May God give you strength. Fight on Ada"

Ada gulped and said "This is too much.... I will not try all of these"

Ash said "you have to he..he"

Ada's eyes scanned all the dresses, she said "fine"

Ada internally smirked and took the dress from her hand, she stood infront of the mirror sticking the dress close to her body.

She said "the colour is too boring"

She grabbed the next dress and touched the fabric and said "not comfortable"

One by One every dress was rejected by her. She smiled in victory, then she turned around to find the perfect dress for her.

Soon she find a short fairy dress, filled with light pink colour, beautiful butterflies work on it, broad shoulder flared sleeves, and with a beautiful tiara.

She took the dress and walked in the changing room.

When she came out, she heard "PERFECT"

And that was it, she managed to ditch the torture of changing dresses and found a perfect dress for her.

She said "Now everything is done, shall we go now"

Ash was annoyed by her sharp tricks, she said "fine..... we will see when your wedding will be happening and I will make you take no. of trials for sure....... humph"

Ada said "we will see..... for now let's we have to shop for Seth also"

After they were done with everything, they were about to exit the mall, when they heard chaos of people gathering towards the entrance of the mall.

''Mr. Davan is here'

'God I wonder how he looks '

'His looks are still visible behind the mask'

'I bet he is good looking'

Soon they saw the crowd rushing towards them.

Seth grabbed Ash's hand and tried to hold Ada, but Ada was already swept away by the crowd.

On the other hand, Ada felt she was about to fall, as she was unable to hold her balance. She closed her eyes as she felt she was falling, But......
