Her Show

PLEASE DON'T LET ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN.

Ruth prayed. She was wreck nervous, her hands were clamy, her forehead had droplets of sweats and she was checking everything with her own hands.

Sara knew that Ruth was nervous so she didn't make any comments. It was big day for Ruth and along with Ruth, Sara also prayed that the day would go smoothly.

It was the day of her show.

The models were getting ready and Ruth was herself assisting the ones who were having problems in adjustments or designs.

She couldn't afford any fault happening on the runaway. Hot shots across the country would be there and she had been preparing for the opportunity for all her life.

" You are hyperventilating for nothing. Trust me your designs will rock their minds. Now take a long breath for me. "

Sara instructed Ruth when she looked that Ruth was worrying too much .

" Thanks. "

She thanked Sara taking the bottle of water from her hands.

" By the way I was checking for the guest list with the event manager and I saw his name. "

Sara teased Ruth. She was not a fool. It was quite obvious that something was sprouting between Ruth and Orion.

" Who are you talking about? "

Oblivious Ruth asked Sara. She didn't knew that some infamous person was also attending today's event.

" Oh! don't act like you don't know. "

Sara rolled her eyes at Ruth. It couldn't be possible that she didn't know he would come for the event.

" I really don't know what are you talking about. "

Ruth unfazed with Sara's behavior answered her.

" Orion. His name was in the guest list. And I'm sure he will be in the front row for today's event. "

Sara told Ruth when realized that Ruth actually didn't know anything about it.

" But why? What is he doing here? "

Ruth couldn't find any reason of him being present here.

" He is one of the most influential people out there. "

Sara answered Ruth's question.

" Thats the obvious reason. "

Ruth massaged her head with her fingers to suppress the evoking migrane . She sighed and checked the time it was 11 in the morning. As in que someone announced that now it was theirs turn.

She wished luck to all the models and went back to the side of standing Sara .

The theme for the event was NEW ERA. And according to the theme the costumes that Ruth had designed had no match. Her designs outshined the whole event.

It was the first time for Orion to attend such event. Never in his whole career he had attended a fashion show. The celebrities present there were gawking at Orion like he was an alien. It was as surprising for them as it was to Orion that he was here only because of Ruth.

And now he could see . That woman was born to be a designer. When other designer's costume were very bold and showed too much skin, the costumes that Ruth designed were based on the fact that how one type of dress could be wore in different ways.

Orion was indeed in the front row. After all he was Orion. Sitting there he waited for Ruth to come out at the ending of the show .

Finally when Ruth came from the backstage to walk and it left Orion frozen for a minute.

She looked etheral and.... he had no words for her. Her beauty knows no bounds to him. She was dressed in one of the outfit which she had designed herself. She was perfect even to be a model.

Ruth when walked down the lane with her models, her eyes instantly clashed with Orion and was about to trip on her heels. But like a professional woman she steadied herself and walked with a smile.

On the other side Mark was now totally sure that the man who they killed and the men who fired bullets at Orion and Ruth belong to the same gang , if it was a gang. It wasn't a rocket science to him. The men who was spying on them was arrested once because of drug dealing and the men with the tatoo, whom he had seen in the footage was also with him in the drug dealing businesses.

Although there were not in the same place but the lawyer that bailed both of them was the same man. Few days back when he went to police station he found nothing and Orion gave him the idea to contact their men who were working in Interpol. They have records of everything, regardless of the place.

And Orion was not wrong. It didn't took them long to fish out information about two suspects.

Mark was trying to get hold of Orion for the past one hour but Orion phone was out of reach and Mark had no idea that Orion was attending a fashion show. Although Mark and Orion were always together, for any event, meetings or any functions. But Mark had very important business to check about the incident and Orion was busy in his work.

Orion had not hired any assistant as Mark would do his work but now he needed one. He was waiting outside for Ruth to come out when his phone buzzed with Mark's text.

" ITS IMPORTANT. GET BACK TO ME WHEN YOU WILL BE FREE. "

Orion read the message. He was sure that it had something to do about the firing incident . He without thinking drove his car towards Mark's penthouse .

However he wanted to spend sometime with Ruth but that can wait. Her safety was utmost his priority and he wouldn't rest until he could find those bastards who dared to kill Ruth. He had already instructed his men to guard Ruth from afar and inform him about her each and every step.

He parked his car and quickly stepped in the lift for the penthouse.

" What did you get hold on? "

Orion asked as soon as he step his foot in Mark's study.

Showing Orion some photographs he leaned back on his chair, letting Orion process the things.

" So I was right. They belonged to the same gang. They both have same tattoos on their arm. "

Orion said looking at the photos.

" Yes. You were right. And one more thing. "

Mark stopped, waiting for Orion if he was listening to him or was drowned in something. When he realized Orion was listening he continued.

" This dragon Snake tatoo is oddly familiar. I don't know where I have seen it. But after looking continuously at this I can tell it belongs to some big mafia, not some small gang. But I can't remember exactly which mafia. I want you dig in for some more information from your fathers time ,when he ruled as a capo. "

Orion didn't even for once question Mark. He had trust and believed that if Mark was saying it, he had reasons.

" Okay I will look into it. Is this it? "

Orion really wanted to go back to Ruth.

" What do you mean by that? "

Offended, Mark glared at Orion. When he realized the cause of his restlessness he teased him.

" Don't worry. Ruth is tough lady. That's why I love her. "

" What? "

Orion fumed listening the words from Mark.

" You are whipped man. "

Mark laughed looking at the red ,angry face of Orion.

" Arrange an assistant for me. It will overload you if you will work both ways. "

Orion said. Mark gave his thumbs up and Orion made his cue for lift to go back to his peace, Ruth.
