Dear ladies and gentlemen, my apologies for not updating the story for quite some time...
I had an annoying assignment to finish and I'm visiting my parents this week.
It's festive season in my country now and My mom...she literally drove me ½ crazy with her maternal speech...
Okay..time for the update

CHAPTER 3
.
.
FRANCIS B-POV
.
"I'm the agent of l'amour" I announced to the wall while smirking at the contract that I prepared for Ivan.
I never thought Ivan would put so much energy and concern for a lady before...
I flabbergasted at the sight of Ivan whom know for his atrocious behaviour to be so concerned and loving towards a person
He definitely changing ... I thought to myself and I took a red rose from the nearby vase and said "l'amour is amazing"
The smell of rose heighten my naughty imagination till my train of magnificent thoughts of love were interrupted by a brute...
"kesesese BOW TO THE AWESOME ME AND LET'S HANGOUT AT THE NEW AWESOME PLACE TODAY"
My instant irritation transparent in my voice "Gilbert, I appreciate if you knock the door before you announce anything...well I suppose we can go after I handle Ivan first...call Antonio too"
Gilbert flipped his phone and said "the bad touch trio will rock the city tonight"
I simply laughed while existing from my cabin again to meet Ivan again for the second time today...
This is the first time that I felt real excitement for meeting the client of mine...especially Ivan the terrible who know to be a real devil boss... He seems like a mischievous little love struck puppy now...

IVAN-POV
.
"I'm excited but I'm scared...I'm scared but I'm excited...I'm dead if I can't pull this trough" I thought to myself as I paced though my cabin...
I never felt that my office looked so big and small at the same time...my nervousness is killing me "I hope Francis made a foolproof contract or I'll make him suffer...kol kol kol" I said to the ceiling above me.
"M-Mr. I-Ivan, Mr. Francis is here to meet you" Toris told me while trembling
I excitedly told him "Toris, don't let him wait...let him in immediately"
The entire day was mind numbing
My mind kept on saying "Alice Braginski" it will be very soon...she will be a Braginski...
My only remaining thoughts were about Alice and her reaction
.
Later that day at Ivan's home
ALICE –POV
"I-Ivan, you're joking right" I stammered as I voiced out my shock
"Nope" he said in a childlike manner
I stared at him said "Don't pull my leg, I'm too old for this"
"You're only 25" he smirked at me
"Well, you're only 28" I smiled at him
"We going to have a real wedding with all the perks included" he stated with his famous creepy smile again...
"I can play his game too" I thought to myself "Okay, we will then...but we will only have consensual physical relationship"...I blushed while making the silly statement
"We have to meet my family before we announce TO THE WORLD that we are getting married"
"I will choose the venue for our wedding as well as for honeymoon"
I'm not sure whether it will work or not but I will not lose my virginity to a guy that doesn't love enough...even he is hot like hell with devilish attitude to boost his confidence...
"Okay" he stated with his childlike manner again
"Okay" I said while pondering whether I made the right decision or not...
"Well, we have to wait till Arthur is out of the hospital and we have a family reunion" I told him while looking at the contract in my hand
"He said, I'll leave the family reunion matters to you honey" He smiled again...
I felt butterfly in my stomach again..."damn these feelings are playing tricks on me"
.
Few weeks later...
.
Arthur was out of the hospital, Matthew came back from Canada and three of my uncles from Scotland and Wales arrived at my "RENOVATED HOUSE"
I informed that I want to have a family reunion to celebrate Arthur's recovery...
Later that evening...Ivan came to the house and I introduced him as my boy friend... Everyone was shell shocked as they refused to believe me initially...
I introduced Ivan to my family and vice versa...
Arthur took instant hatred towards Ivan
They even had staring contest with thunder bolts exchanged via their eyes...
At least Matthew and others started to warm up to him
After the dinner "Ivan announced something very shocking to my family"
Ivan got down on his knees and said "Alice will you marry me" flashed a diamond ring to me in front of my family
I accepted it and we made decided that we will be getting married soon...
Arthur turned more sour face towards the end of the evening...
William was an adorable step brother as usual...
My uncles started drinking contest with Ivan...Ivan won the drinking contest and Gareth truly liked Ivan for his high tolerance for alcohol and said "You're better than Arthur, I like you...let's hang out together if you decided to visit Scotland"
He also delivered a subtle threat to my fiancée "Ivan , if you broke her heart, I'll break your neck"
Ivan emitted his purple aura and said "I won't hurt her because she will belongs to me very soon and I won't hurt my beloved" he answered in a very childlike manner that made my uncle to shiver as well..
I wall-palmed as I notice his childlike attitude started to surface again...Ivan is a huge child when he is enjoying himself or enjoy hurting someone...
Arthur held my hand and said "Are you certain that you want to marry him"
"It's too fast; I never heard that you had a boyfriend before...When have you met him..." Arthur stared to bombard me with his questions
I evaded most of questions and asked him about the restaurant...
I told him that we need another investor to manage the restaurant...
We also need a chef for his outlet...
"I definitely need a fierce chef that can ban him from entering the territory" I tough to myself
I told Arthur that we will talk about it in few days as we need to seek another investor and chef for him
After the tiring family reunion, Ivan said "congratulations, its official that it's a successful family reunion night and I think I gained your family's approval to marry you"
I answered "well done Ivan" while washing dish
He laughed and hugged me from behind and said "Honey, we'll be meeting my side of family members next week"
I paled at the thought of meeting Natalia next week...Damn my crappy luck...
