Ian's POV

Two months before Siya/Vina(Ian's sister) returned to LA.

What am I even doing at this bloody party? I cursed under my breath and walked inside the party hall, dialing Isabella's(Ian's sister-in-law)number.

"Bloody hell...Watch where you go, mister, "someone cursed in a loud voice as I accidentally bumped into that person on my way inside.

"I'm..."I wanted to apologize but froze seeing the goddess standing in front of me.

"Don't you have eyes? Excuse me ... I'm speaking to you. Are you deaf, Mr.Addington?" she kept on yelling profanities at me. At the same time, my silly eyes roamed her face and stopped at her lips. She was wearing a light red shade of lipstick, and all my perverted mind was thinking of was ways to wipe that off her sexy lips.

Sexy lips?... Did I just think like that? What is wrong with me? I mentally cursed and composed myself.

"Hey, sweetheart," I spoke to her in my usual flirty style.

"You should have watched out before falling for me ...oops, I mean falling on me, "I winked at her.

"Moron," she cursed under her breath, but I heard it.

"What happened? Did my charm blind you? I know I'm fucking handsome, and it's pretty natural that you fell for me, "I smirked at her with a teasing smile.

"Of course...not just your charm ..." she spoke slowly, all of a sudden much to my amusement.

"Everything about you blinds me so much that you are invisible to me, Mr.Ian Addington," she shouted at me acidly.

I scanned her again like a pervert as she was the first woman who spoke to me with such arrogance and lack of interest. Mostly I was the one who stayed away from women, but something about her was different...something about her was attracting me towards her. All I could think was how to make her mine right here, right now. I just felt like a hormonal teenager in front of her.

"Pervert...Move away. I'm late because of you," she snapped, making me come out of my thoughts.

"What's your name, doll? "I asked her curiously. But the girl was way too bitchy than I thought.

"None of your business. And don't you dare call me a doll," she huffed and tried hurrying inside, but I held her in my arms. And almost immediately, I felt sparks all over my body.

"Nice name...See you soon, Ms.None of your business," I whispered to her, coming out of my trance, and she glared back at me. I took the opportunity and blew her a kiss.

"All actors are bastards," she cursed again when I released my hold on her before vanishing inside the party hall.

Who is she? Why did my heart beat fast seeing her? Why do I have such perverted thoughts about a woman I just saw for the first time. God...Did I just become an official pervert? What would she think about me?

Fuck ...this is not me. I'm Ian Addington, and I don't care what others think of me; I mentally motivated myself when my phone rang.

"Hey, D(Isabella calls Ian "D," and he calls her "Isa")"Why did you hang up the call earlier? "Isa asked me in the video call.

"Sorry, Isa. I didn't notice. How are you? And how are my champ and my little princess(Asher and Alyssa---Davina and David's Kids)?" I implored her.

"Woah ...Woah...easy there...the monsters are sound asleep. If they know you are on the phone, they will turn this house upside down, "she said with a soft giggle.

"I see...And how is my cupcake(Siya/Davina-Ian's sister and David's wife)? Still hell-bent on marrying Darian(Davina's fiance and friend)?" I chuckled.

"You know, right... how adamant she can be ..." Isa frowned in frustration.

Yeah Yeah, I know, I know...How I miss her older version. But don't worry, I will stop the marriage soon, "I scratched my neck.

"D...what the hell...You are at a party?" Isa shrieked, noticing my surroundings.

"Yes ...What about it?" I enquired in a bored tone.

"You are asking me?... Go and mingle with some girls...Find someone," she raised both her hands in disappointment.

"Is Elena still your scapegoat?" (Elena is Ian's personal assistant and manager plus his scapegoat..oops permanent date --married to Rick and have two kids Prue and Paiton)Isa chuckled.

"Obviously...Why do you think I give her a hefty paycheck every month. She earns more than me, "I mocked.

"Poor Elena...When will you end your date torture?" She laughed.

"Soon..."I smirked.

"Finally...tell me, who is she?" Isa asked excitedly.

"You know her, Isa," I fake blushed at her.

"Who is it? Tell me, D."

"It's none other than my sweet..."I paused, and she looked anxiously at me.

"Your sweet...tell me, D," she pleaded.

"My sweet sister Vina... Why do you think I'm planning to bring her back here? Then she can be my date, and I will be the happiest man on earth. And your poor Elena will be spared, "I laughed my head out.

"Stronzo...cazzo di idiota...Ti ucciderò sanguinosamente..."Isa started with her Italian curses nonstop angrily, and I knew she wouldn't spare me for making fun of her.

"Bye, Cara cognata(dear sis-in-law), "I hung up the phone with a smile and raised my head to see David and Alan looking at me curiously.

Fuck ...did these two hear me speaking to Isa? I thought in panic but hid it with my usual smile.

"Hey, David ...hey Alan...what's up guys? "I asked with a happy face. David, as usual, looked lost and disinterested in attending this party. I felt pity for him as he was mourning his wife's death, who unknown to him is my sister and is still alive and safe in Italy with the kids she bore with David.

"Good...I'm good," he said in a soft voice.

"How's my sweet baby Siyara?"I asked again.

"She misses you. Right now, she is with dad," he told me.

The old arrogant David I knew was long gone. In his place stood a man who was humbled by his wife's cruel death and was devoted to her until this very second. But I also dreaded the David who will finally know the truth about his wife and kids.

"Do even Italian chicks curse you? "Alan mocked me with his usual playful smile.

"Do you know Italian?" I asked him cautiously.

"No, man...but I understand curses like stronzo meaning asshole,cazzo di idiota meaning fucking moron, "he laughed.

" And Ti ucciderò sanguinosamente means I will bloody murder you," I added." And FYI, that was my sister-in-law."

"But how do you know all these curse words?" David asked Alan.

"Oh, my first client was an Italian, and guess what I lost the case, and the rest is history. He didn't even spare my poor dead parents," Alan said, reminiscing his experience while David and I tried to control our laughter. But soon, we both burst out in laughter hearing Alan's sad story.

"Morons, stop laughing. And Ian ...tell us about your family, "Alan asked all of a sudden.

"Why are you interested to know about my family?" I asked as we all headed towards the bar counter.

"Nothing...I'm just curious," he shrugged his shoulders.

"Well...My dad, mom, and my brother and sis-in-law live in Milan, Italy." I intentionally omitted my sister from my family." We are just a typical family. And the reason I'm keeping them away from the media is my dad...He hates my job as an actor. He thinks actors are useless, "I rubbed my neck in frustration.

"What does your dad want you to do?" David asked me with sympathy.

"Just help him and my brother in his business. He owns a small business, "I said to end the conversation.

"What does your mom do?" Alan was too curious.

"She owns a clothing store, and my sis-in-law helps her," I said guardedly as David had seen my mom earlier though he hadn't spoken to her. And David's dad knew about my mom and our family background. I hated to lie, but whatever I said was the truth...my dad owns a business...a huge one, though. And my mom really owns a clothing store ...well, a chain of clothing stores. But I didn't mention the full family details. Why would I? I hate unwanted attention. The only thing I hid was about my sister due to obvious reasons. But soon, David will know. But I will face it when the time comes. I consoled myself.

"I think you should listen to your dad," a mocking voice spoke, making us turn towards the owner.

It was none other than Adam Smith...my biggest rival.

"Hello David, Hello Alan...enjoying the party?" He greeted us with an inborn fake smile, purposely dropping my name to insult me.

"Hello Adam, "David greeted back coldly while Alan looked tensed, seeing David's irritation. David doesn't particularly like Adam because of his family background. Adam is none other than Megan Smith's(David's first wife, who he divorced) nephew.

"Hello, Adam... I heard that you were removed from Dylan's movie," I asked sarcastically to cut the tension in the air. I could hear him gritting his teeth, but he hid it with a sugar-coated smile.

"Well ...I'm not lucky as you, dear friend." He side hugged me while I wanted to punch him on his face, for I know he tried using his family name and power to degrade me and throw me out of the roles I bagged with my own effort. But before I lost my temper, his phone rang, and he left us alone.

"What a dickhead?" Alan exclaimed, and we all laughed and turned towards the bar counter. I was surprised to see the bartender, who was none other than the goddess, who bickered with me.

"Della...How are you, dear?" David asked her, to which she smiled and answered softly.

"I'm fine, David. How's Siyara? I miss her a lot."

Does she know how to speak so softly? I looked at her in bewilderment.

"She's fine, and she asks for you sometimes. How's your college? "David queried.

"Going great, David," she answered softly but eyed me with a pissed-off look.

"Alan, Ian...Meet Della...She is a sweet girl, and she was Siyara's babysitter previously," David introduced her to us.

Della...I liked the way her name rolled out of my tongue but didn't show it, though.

"Sweet and her?" I remarked sarcastically while she too gave me a sarcastic glance.

"What's wrong with you, Ian? "David asked in worry.

"Nothing..."I raised my hands in surrender, and moments later, David and Alan went to greet some friends while I sat there sipping my drink and watching the goddess working with a serious look on her face.

"What? "she finally snapped, seeing me observing her.

"Della...nice name", I said, gleaming at her.

"Pervert," she barked, making me laugh.

"What happened to "All actors are bastards"?" I quoted in the air with my hands.

"Have you ever heard of the term exception? "She smirked at me.

"Yes... I have," I replied.

"Then you should have figured out by now that David is an exception. And he knows how to treat and respect women well unlike some perverted actors ...like you," she snarled at me.

I was dumbfounded at her sudden outburst but still maintained my composure because whatever she said was about my only brother-in-law.

"Then, in my defense, I will only say that don't judge a book by its cover," I gave her my signature wink, and she would have roasted me alive if she was given a choice.

"H-Hello, Mr.Addington," a soft voice brought us back from our glaring contest, and all of a sudden, Della's face showed a lot of emotions all at once.
