ADAM'S POV
Today I am nominated for the business man of the year. I know you guy's already know but what still makes me nervous and tensed is.
Will I be getting award this time? Or not?
Because it's not the first time I have been nominated but thrice for now.
Last two times even after getting nominated and having fair chance I couldn't achieve it. And that was really hurtful to attend and disappointing at the same time.
Myself was more grumpy and angry at that time so much that I fired my two employees for a silly mistake.
But now I am not like that anymore coz Alice made me learn that your personal issue shouldn't be a cause of someone innocents loss.
Alice believes that this time I will get it and I do believe in her trust fully. But you know what today I'm nervous but more than that I am restless from inside don't know why.
I feel like something bad very bad is going to happen and that will make my day be the worst one. Though from these past three days Lauren hasn't really harmed her physically but for sure tried to harm her mentally.
As she almost made her mom's lehenga torn up which Alice decided she will wear it in our wedding.
Her mom didn't had and Indian wedding as you know but still she had one Indian wedding lehenga made for her before she met him whom she thought she loves and he loves her too. Alice was so excited and happy seeing that and said she will be wearing this only.
Fortunately, the dress was saved on right time as grandma reached the room and Lauren left from there immediately being caught on spot.
She even tried to instigate me saying Alice and Ethan's sex life things which I already know and it hurts sometimes too but not much as I know she is mine and only mine.
Lauren tried to frame me with one of my female associates and few employees and lice almost lost the shit too but thankfully I had CCTV camera footage with audio recorded and got saved proofing my innocence truthfully.
Anyways, presently we left for the venue with everyone in two cars as in my it's grandma me and Alice while in other one there Addy, Alex and Lauren.
When we reached there we saw lot of camera's flashing on us. We got out of the car to walk on the red carpet for getting in and that's when everyone shoot their questions.
Alice was trying hard to look but her eyes were closed due to the flashing of camera's. I ordered my guards to cover us and we lead inside avoiding their useless questions like.
Is it true we are going to married?
Is she really my cousin?
Will it be a arrange marriage or love marriage?
Am I already a dad and that's why hurrying to get married in few days?
We were never seen anywhere then how come now I have a cousin?
Blah.. blah.. blah.. hh!!
Their questions were like never ending and though I had answers of every questions I preferred to say silent coz they are no one for me or us.
I don't think letting them know about us or our history will help us get something in return.
After reaching there we met with few people and I proudly made her introduce as my would be wife.
My hands were resting on her bare back as her dress with backless. It was hard to resist and already coed my hard on in our room after seeing her dressed up like a red velvet cake.
And from then I have been controlling my lust and tried to focus on myself only.
We took our respective seats and were calmly seated while the party was about to start.
Many people's got many awards and even me and Addy got few for some categories but what made us stay in place was the most important award of this night.
I was getting impatient and tapped my feet on floor which she tried to stop many times but it was just a natural reflex and it happens commonly so I couldn't do anything.
After two hour's which felt like eternity I was finally awarded as the best businessman of this year.
More than me Alice was proud with tears brimming in her eyes while grandma, Addy and Alex were proud and happy too for me.
Finally, I got it what I always wanted and I swear to myself I'll try to maintain my position well for getting this every time.
After giving a thank you speech and thanking each everyone especially my Alice, grandma and Addy my buddy I got down and hugged them.
Alex congratulated me too with a big smile but Lauren had a irritated expression with with smirk. I knew seeing that smirk that she was about go do something but what it was made my anxiety increase.
The awards ended and the normal party began in which everyone came and congratulated me with few having genuine smile and few a fake one.
But I didn't liked the way Lauren was smirking and planning to do something. Addy was keeping an eye on her already and he said she has not even moved an inch or called someone.
Then what it could be?
We were supposed to stay the night as the venue were in outskirts and we got the rooms booked for us by them already.
Alice took grandma for leaving her in her room and I was talking with Addy when someone came and said Alice was calling for me.
My brows furrowed coz I know if she wanted me to come she would have just called and then I saw my phone with zero network coverage.
Addy nodded and said I must go while he would have his eyes on Lauren. I nodded and left to see and entered the room provided for us.
There was no sign of Alice anywhere and I just couldn't find her at all. My heart was beating fast as the restlessness started settling again with my instincts screaming something is very very wrong.
I was about to walk out from the room to search where is she when a strong cologne hit my nose and a arm snaked around me from behind.
It was not an electrifying sparked or soothing or loving one as the one Alice makes me feel but something different and uncomfortable.
Removing that person arms from around me I pulled that person to see who it was and then I found a pretty sexy lady with big boobs and ass staring hungrily to me.
Her gaze was more comfortable and the expression she was passing made me sure she was a fucking bitch slut.
She tried to roam her on my chest and crouch but I dodged over her hand. She then snaked her arms around my neck and pulled me over to kiss me.
Losing my shit I slapped her hard not twice but more than thrice. Coz only my Alice has the right to touch me or kiss me and this lady even after me trying to stop and yank her tried her best to instigate me.
When I slapped her once she tried to get hold of me again shamelessly and I need to slap her more for getting her in her sense but she was all wasted.
I don't know how this lady was but for sure she was send intentionally behind me coz she kept on ranting that I am drugged and she knows I don't want her but I will give into her soon and she needs to take my advantage at any cost.
Like really? My advantage but why? Is it..? No why would someone try to frame me?
Oh shit!! It's Lauren and that's why she was smirking but what about the drug?
If I was to be drugged then how it was planned? Coz I remember well that I was all time together with Alice and Addy and didn't had anything else of drinks after awards.
Was there something in that drink? Drug? If yes then who would have drunk it if not me.
Alice? My heart called her name and I felt my body getting cold and numb.
I ran to see where she was and felt myself freaking out badly as if I was going to b raped then maybe now she is the target.
But why would she will be if it is planned by Lauren coz she knows I won't believe that she cheated me nor my love will be changed for her. And yes if her plan worked out with me then there was a mere possibility of me losing her but fortunately her plan failed.
But what now? If she tried to make her rape.. NO she won't do that. Right? Or she can do for hurting Alice mentally, physically and emotionally.
Fuck!! I need to reach her out as soon as possible.
After searching for few minute's I finally got Alex in my way and asked where is grandma's room and he showed me.
The room was in the left corner at the end of the passage and that's why I had difficulty to find her room as mine was in the starting line only.
Seeing me panicked and freaking Alex got tensed too and asked what happened but I wasn't in a state to answer any God damn think to him so just shouldn't say at all.
When I reached the end I heard Alice crying voice but it wasn't coming from grandma's room making my heart dropping down in stomach.
I looked at Alex and he looked back at me before us pushing the gates open of that room harshly.
My body felt numb and eyes widened in horror after seeing her like that.
