Press meeting.
"The times I've cursed him, I feel so bad.", Another spoke.
"This Actress is too cunning for making him look like this. I feel stupid for believing her.", Another spoke.
"Never saw someone so shameless.", the person spoke from the side.
Just then Sid walked in front of everyone and took the mic in his hand.
"I ain't gonna blame anyone and not gonna say anything. I am just thankful to my company that protected me and the team that struggled to prove me innocent. I am open to questions.", He said with calm demonear.
"Mr.Sid when the time everyone was doubting you, how did you cope?', One reporter spoke.
"She gave me the strength to move on...I clearly remember me shivering in the police station without understanding what happened and how did I end up being the criminal when all I did was try to save that model. I lost hope in the world and humanity, that's when she stood in front of me like a tigress. Knocking me the reality and thought me the strength to fight back. In front of everyone, I am thanking her, Thank you if not for you...I wouldn't wanna imagine the state I would have ended up in.", Sid said as he wanted to walk down.
"Mr.Sid...Sid, who is she?", One of the reporters spoke.
"Sid...is she the one you love?", Another reporter asked.
Hearing the questions Veera shivered. 'Dear reporters are you trying to kill Sid in Mr.Anan's hand?' she wanted to take the mic to answer. But just then...
"Don't spout nonsense, she is the new artistic director...I don't deserve to be on the same page as her. So don't you all dare create rumors.", Sid said and walk away.
"Arghmm...That's all the scene, dear reporters, she is our new artistic director...she could have come to meet us but due to her busy schedule apparently, she couldn't make it. So please look forward to DREAM and do support it. Thank you all.", Veera ended the meeting.
Reporters are all curious and whisper among, all wanting to know who this demoness is.
Inside...
"Tigress...huh?", Anan's voice sent chills down her body.
"Hey...He called you tiger.", Anvi quickly spoke.
"Huh?", Anan raised his brow.
"I am Tigress isn't my husband Tiger? Hmm...?", She smiled as she teased him.
"Oh...so Ms. tigress tonight let's make some cubs tonight...what do you say?", Anan spoke as he bite her right ear making her slightly moan.
"Hubby...ah...please not here.", She shly spoke as Anan's phone rang.
They saw that caller's number and Anan's face darkened.
"Is your brother always this idiot? Why does he have to always disturb us?", Anan spoke as he was angry at someone who is now seating in another room as he was trying his best to control his jealousy.
"Go...bobo is really good to you compared to how he used to be before.", She smiled and pushed him.
Just then the door was knocked and Bailey's voice was heard, Anan stood up and kissed Anvi's forehead.
"I will be back...you speak to Bailey and Veera.", Anan said as he walked forward to open the door.
Soon he left to meet Karan and the two ladies went in.
Meanwhile.
"Hoshino bad news...we were been investigated by Karan and Aarav.", Aditi spoke as she walked into the study.
"Mummy why are those father and son pair so restless?", Dai spoke as he closed his iPad.
"Don't worry I spoke to Anan already.", Hosino's calm voice made the two people in the room go silent.
"What? Did you think Anan was easy to fool? with his terrific IQ he knew I'm not usual after one meeting.", Hosino calmly spoke.
"Then...", Before Aditi could guess.
"I didn't say him any details but I agreed to something and said something.", Hosino spoke.
Seeing the two faces eagerly waiting for him to continue...
"I agreed to work with his company closely for 5 years and said your name is Aditi.", He spoke bringing chills to Aditi and Dai.
"So...", before Anvi could say.
"He is not a fool...but he didn't ask any further and warned me if I ever bring harm to Anvi he would kill all of us.", Hosino spoke as he remembered Anan's cold face that has only cared for Anvi.
"Daddy something is missing...", Dai spoke in confusion.
"Alright you little rascal, I gave him my blood sample and asked him to check with Anvi as we are blood-related.", Hosino spoke finally.
"All pieces fit now.", Dai smiled as Aditi helplessly started at the father and son duo.
Inside the room.
"You mean he is blood-related to me?", Karan was shocked to the core.
"How? Guess?", Anan's lips rose as he viciously started at the setting sun.
"Mom won't cheat on Dad...so won't Uncle Ajay...there is only one answer...it is...", Karan's eyes widened.
"Yes, your aunt Mina...she can only be the reason. Hoshino must be her child.", Anan spoke.
"Then...why doesn't his existence...?", Karan is full of doubts.
"The child of two great scientists...what do you think will happen if the world knows his existence?", Anan spoke as silence enveloped the room.
"Anan why does it seem like we are facing an endless pit? How many more secrets are we gonna discover? I'm afraid...this will all...", Karan didn't wanna speak anymore.
"Answer to all your questions has only one way... ", Anan voice came through
"What?", Karan questioned
"Anvi's memories.", Anan spoke as the sun started to set.
Anvi's room
"So it all went well...Sis Veera take a day off and join us again.", Anvi smiled.
"It felt really nice when slapping all those idiots' faces.", Veera spoke as she couldn't hold her excitement.
"There are more to come, so much to deal with...be prepared for the worse Sis Veera.", Bailey smiled and spoke.
"Don't worry you both, I am loving this face slapping.", She smiled as all three started to laugh.
Airport.
"Boss...Boss...", Jade followed with carrying all the luggage as Felix marched forward.
'MINA...I think there is gonna be a long fight ahead of me...are you and my son, Aditi seeing me from heaven? Don't worry if I have to kill I will kill that person who got their hands on MEND. I swear to protect what you protected with your life.', Felix swore as he opened his eyes to see Ajay standing near by luminous as he waited for him.
Ajay saw the 40+-year-old gentleman walking towards him like a royal.
"You don't seem to look so aged, Brother-in-law.", Ajay spoke as he saw Felix.
"You seem to lose some strands though.", Felix spoke as he signaled his hair.
"Curse you...I'm more stressed than anyone these days..single man like you wouldn't know.", Ajay spoke as he opened the door.
"At least I didn't end up as a doctor as someone who's too afraid to be a scientist.", Felix spoke as he entered the car.
"Why does his temper become more irritating ?", Ajay spoke.
"I agree sir.", Ajay turned towards the voice to see Jade who was carrying all the luggage on his own.
"Ren help him.", Ajay spoke as his assistant walked to help Jade.
