" So we heard" I looked up from the ring and saw my boys walk in the door. They looked upset, all of them. I stood up when I saw Niall standing behind Liam who didn't notice.


" How is this going to help the situation? We are already a month late with the tour, thank god we decided to start in England and Ireland otherwise we would be screwed, and second of all you will be so unhappy that you won't make it" Louis spat out but I couldn't take my eyes of Niall.


" I can't believe that you are getting married, to her" Harry said but I could tell that he was very confused. " Do you still love her or is this some kind of a management thing to save our image because we are suing?"


"First of all we are not suing, Modest is" I said and turned around and took a deep breath. " I don't know, no" I answered Harry's most annoying question.


" What about Tara?"


I turned around with my heart pounding as I heard the Irish accent, leaving me to see him now standing infront of the boys like he wasn't afraid of me anymore.


I wanted to grab him and thrust my forehead against his but at the same time I wanted him to listen very carefully because I had been thinking too much about this and my options.


"I love her and because I do I'm marrying Perrie, Paul will work harder against Modest who are angry at me for breaking the engagement in the first place and Tara will keep her company and us as costumers" Soon as I let go of those terrible words all the boys started talking. I didn't hear a single word but I knew what I was doing. I had few days left, and I needed to get a hold of Tara and explain the options that we had. Of course this was the least thing I wanted to do but I could never bare to be the reason that made Tara lose the only thing her aunt left her with.


" We have to come up with a better plan, you don't want to marry her ! " I heard Louis try to tell me. I just nodded my head and made myself fall on the bed. They kept talking and I found a massive headache grow in my head. One by one the boys sat down on the bed and before I knew it the whole room went quiet and the lights were out.


Tara's P.O.V


" Miss, your lawyer is here" I looked up from my schedule when my assistant, Sophia,knocked on the glass door.


" Show her in" I told her and looked at my appointment that was an hour away. Sophia told me that I was requested to design a wedding dress. I didn't want to do it at first and I told my designers to do it but this person wasn't going to give up. She sent my flowers, gift cards and I can count endlessly so at the end I had enough and said yes.


" Morning" My lawyer , Amanda Frigg, said as she walked on her black heals into my office and sat down on my desk.


" Tea?" I asked and she nodded her head as she picked up her glasses. I knew that my assistant was waiting for me to nod my head so I nodded and she ran to get it.


Amanda and I had spend hours and nights together since Modest wanted to sue. So far, she had nothing on them and it seemed that I would be losing this case. She told me that firing Molly would be job since she was the one that broke the contract but I couldn't do it. Everybody made mistakes and I knew that it would look stupid if Zayn and I would ever go public. I told Molly to take two months off work and she said goodbye and thanked me for understand.


" I swear, I think that I have gone through every single paper since your aunt signed One Direction to this company" Amanda said as she fixed her glasses and picked up her suitcase.


" There has to be something that can fix this mess" I said more to myself as I stood up and looked outside. I couldn't think of anything. All I could think about was Zayn. I hated that he wasn't allowed to call me or send me any messages. Modest was to powerful damn it.


" Here you go" I heard Sophia say as she left two cups of tea on my desk. I sat down again and watched Amanda looking through papers for few minuets as I tried to get Zayn out of my head.


"Do you have any more papers that your aunt left maybe?" She asked and I could sense that she was beginning to give up.


" I threw most of it away but I can check I guess" I stood up and walked across the room to a black drawer that I didn't use. I left it untouched because I couldn't go through more stuff that reminded me of Rachel. I opened it and the dust came up, making me cough. A stack of envelops and maps were waiting to be opened. I picked it up and handed it over to Amanda who put it into her suitcase.


" You are running out of time so I will look at this at home, this might take few days but I'll try to go through this all" She said as she stood up. I looked at my watch to see that an hour was already gone by.


" Thank you" I walked with her to the elevator and she nodded her head as he door closed.


" Tara, you have a meeting in the golden room" Sophia was suddenly standing behind me with a file that she waited for me to take.


" Right" I answered and shook my head. I wish I had my mind with me today. I took the file and without checking it out I made my way to the golden room.


" I told her that you would do it because nobody was ready to make her the perfect wedding dress for 20th of May and she was ready to pay a lot for it" Sophia tried to keep up with me as we walked together on the while hallway.


" 20th of May? That is after four days..." I stopped and looked at Sophia who knew that she was in trouble for promising this person that I would design and make a dress for her in four days.


" The paying is very good, I thought that you would need it since...you know Modest" Sophia looked at me like she was waiting for me to slap her and for a second I really wanted to. But she was right, I needed the money.


" Never again" I said and she nodded her head.


I took a deep breath and looked at the door.


" Hello my name is Tara Richi and I'm here to help you get the perfect dress" I walked straight to the desk in the room and put the file down.


" I think I'm familiar with your work"


I stopped moving when I heard the voice that I never thought that I would hear again.


" I'm so happy for you and Zayn Malik" Sophia sounded like a twelve year old fangirl and I heard her clap her hands in an excitement.


" So am I, finally"


I turned around and saw Perrie standing on the golden platform with her eyes on me, smiling.
