In a Dark Place
Three figures are standing facing eachother smirking
"I guess our plan is nearing its final stage...??"

"Yep....our motive will soon be accomplished!"

"Is everything set??"

"Yes everything is set...!"

"There's no excuse for mistakes....we need to be careful!"

"Sure thing...now there's nothing that could stop us!"

Which made others smirk and then they all went in different directions

One of them approached the kitchen in slow predatory pace.... menacing but very quiet....the person stood behind the pillar watching Ishani shuffle through the kitchen for food...

The person took fast but quiet steps towards her....just before she could turn the person shut her mouth....and turned and pinned her against the Refrigerator.... Ishani was stunned and frozen in place...

"Shh!! Quiet!" The person commanded...she nodded in response....the person leaned over to her ears and whispered few things.....her eyes widened..after finishing up...the person just left her there and disappeared in darkness.... Ishani stood there processing all that was told to her...

"Ishani!?!" A voice startled her...she jumped...

"Sorry Ishu baby! I didn't mean to scare you!''

"Angrey....it's okay!" She said quietly but didn't dare to look at him

" Tum yaha iss waqt kya kar rahi ho??" He asked

"V-voh...'' she stuttered

"Ishani...''he sternly said

"Voh bh-bhook " she said vaguely

"Accha mujhe bata deti...mei kuch banakar de deta...'' he said smiling and started making Maggie just as she wished...

They both ate....in complete silence.... though Ishani's silence concerned him he just brushed it off as overthinking....and guided her to bedroom and tucked her to bed...and he crawled into the bed engulfing her in his warm embrace....

But sleep was far from Ishani's eyes....she was drowned in deep thoughts... seemingly conflicting with herself....her mouth parting open as if she wanna say something but she shut up before she even uttered a word..... shaking her head....to shake off the unnecessary thoughts and forcefully closed her eyes in a bid to get some sleep

It was a bright morning.... everyone was busy either arranging for the party or otherwise about the dressing.... because it was a double party...first one was a official party at the Arizona Resort for Riddhima celebrating  her 8 glorious  years in modeling...along with some of her colleagues from the industry and later after the colleagues go there's a small celebration specially arranged for Ishani in the Private VIP section of the Resort.

______________skip to Party____________

The Party started with all colleagues of Riddhima giving her various presents congratulating her....But she was a bit anxious...for some reason....and kept sipping on her wine zoning out...in a more secluded side of the resort....while the crowd kept dancing and drinking

A pair of hands snaked around her waist as a whiff of woodsy more precisely musky odor invaded her nostrils... ..she knew who it belonged to....and melted in his arms
"Hey sweetheart....!" A deep husky voice called her....she hummed in response

"Kya hua....kaafi pareshaan lag rahi ho?? Koi problem?" He asked making her face him..

"Kuch nahi vansh bass aise hi...."she trailed off..and he frowned but he let her take her time and didn't force her to tell something.....he kept drawing randoms patterns in waist.... letting her know that he is there for her without using his word ....his chin rested on her shoulder and pecked her cheek....and both kept swaying to the soft music playing in the background while watching the crowd dancing...when suddenly

"Vansh Do you trust me??" She asked out of the blue....and he was startled by the sudden questions....but nevertheless

"I trust you sweetheart!" He assured her

"Hamesha ??" She asked again

He playfully glared at her...but then took her hand in his and
"Sweetheart...This is my promise to you....I will trust you always...and VR is a Man of words I can assure you that!" He promised her.....

She smiled at him....and crashed her lips on his ...he was startled at first but then reciprocated the same passion...she ran her free hand through his raven black but smooth hairs and tugged a bit....while he groaned and slipped his tongue into her mouth tasting her sweet mouth....then slowly parted their mouth but connected their foreheads....he kept his hand on her waist and still swayed to the music....while a pair of eyes saw their moment...and smiled adoring the duo.

When vansh stopped and went on his knees....took out a small Red box.... Riddhima gasped....

Vansh opened the box....and revealed a beautiful ring

"Don't you think it's quite early to pop the question huh!?" Riddhima chuckled

"Yes...it's early....and I am not popping the question....This is my promise Ring....For my Gorgeous Girl!" He said in his Husky voice and smirked

"Promise Rings and all huh!? I'm impressed VR!" Riddhima smirked

"Oh then I'm happy to impress my girl!" Vansh  winked

"Then what are you waiting for-"

"for you to give Your hand in mine!" He replied

Then he slide the beautiful ring in her index finger of her left hand

"Why index finger though!?"she asked

"Reserving the ring finger for our engagement!" He answered and kissed the ring and she blushed

"I love you Vansh!" She breathed out

"I love you too sweetheart!" He said pecking her cute nose...

"Just please trust me....as you do now!" She said....and left the place mingling in the crowd.... leaving vansh utterly confused with her behaviour.....he felt weird and a tad bit nervous about what's troubling her but he couldn't find answers....but decided to go with the flow and trust her as he promised....

Other side:
Ishani was going to the Washroom....
She saw the Mirror and there was a sticky note.
It Read:
"Act according to the plan...Time starts now!"

______________Time Skip_______________
The Party at Arizona Resort ended....and the Raisinghania's, Sehgals and Singhania's made their way back to the VIP section....where they were gonna have the Family Dinner...
"Babu!" Ranveer said gaining her attention
"Ha Ranvi bhai!?"

"Ye lo!"He said extending his hand and dangling a key in his hand

"Oh! Don't tell me you just!?" She yelled..

"Yes I did !" He chuckled at her excitement and she dashed out of the living room in to the parking place.... searching eagerly while everyone followed the excited Riddhima
When she saw

"Benz Cayman!! Seriously I've wanted this one for so long!! Thank you ! Thank you !!" She Excitedly hugged Ranveer who was grinning ear to ear stroking his over excited sister...

"Oh okay Now My turn!!!"Angad announced

"What's it!?" Riddhima asked curiously

"Follow me " he said walking off to the Living room again...and pulled out a big box....she hastily opened it and saw

She gasped and Hugged Angad who was right beside her seeing her smile widening with every passing minute... someone tapped her shoulder she turned to see Aryan holding out a Big bouquet of Red Roses
Her eyes sparkled at the sight of beautiful roses...Indeed it was her favourite....she thanked him

When her Bestfriend came around and held out a small box

"Ismei kya hai??"
"Khol k dekh!?" Bani said smirked

She opened it and saw a

"It's so beautiful!! Thanks babe!" And they shared a hug...when Siya gave her another small box....with a beautiful pair of  earrings in it

"These are so beautiful Siya!" Riddhima smiled while Siya kissed her cheek

"Anything for you Riddz!"

"Time for my gift baby!!" Rhea Sany along opening a box infront of her

"Oh my god!! You really brought this for me!! I love it!! We'll try this one soon!!" Riddhima yelled in excitement

"Sure thing sweetie!!" Rhea blew a kiss which riddhima reciprocated

"Now babydoo! Here's my gift!" Aliya said while tying a chain to her neck

"So beautiful! Thanks Bhabhidoo!!" Riddhima kissed her cheek hugging her..

"Heyy!!" Ishani called Riddhima

"I and Angrey have designed this dress for you....I want you to wear this.."she said and Riddhima agreed to go with her and Aliya to change into the dress

They went up to the room while the others sat in the hall waiting for them

After 10 minutes Aliya and Riddhima descended the stairs with Aliya holding Riddhima's hand....Both of them smiled brightly at everyone
"Gorgeous!" Vansh whispered in awe

Riddhima's Outfit:

The lights went off and they heard sound of a Gun shot.....and lights are on there's a masked man Who stood right in front of Aliya and Riddhima and he pointed his Gun towards Riddhima.

Goon1: ....sab ko pakdo.

All of the others were held down by some goons...

Goon1: Hi riddhima! Kaisi ho.?

"Kon ho tum!?" Riddhima yelled angrily

"Aye!! Mujhse aise baat karne ki himmat bhi mat karna!! Varna-"

"Varna!! Varna kya???huh!! '' Riddhima taunted

"Boss iss ladki ko abhi maar do!! Bohot bol rahi hai na!!" Another goon yelled

"Sahi kaha....tujhe toh mei!'' The goon snarled and a shot a bullet....But at the nick of time... Aliya Shielded Riddhima and got shot at her chest..and fell down

"ALIYA!!!" Ranveer yelled in disparity and began thrashing around while riddhima was frozen in shock....

In a jiff Angrey Pushed the guards that held him down....he caught hold of Riddhima's hand and started running out of place...while the other goons lunged at them and left the others .... everyone started Fighting.....when

"Bhai!!!"

A gunshot rang

"SHONAA!!" A voice yelled out
