Since Groom decided to have his bachelor party in the club 'Night High', Ezra with the help of Nick and the club manager, got everything arranged. Whereas on the other side, the bachelorette was decided to be held at one of the Smith's farmhouses. It was a two-hour drive from the town. Ezra got all the things needed for decoration, beverages, and food. With some of the helping staff, she managed to be ready in such a short time.

On reaching there, she took a small tour of the place and got to work. "Gather everybody at the entrance." Once all the staff gathered, she started giving them instructions. "Lastly as you all can see it's already late in the afternoon. We lost so much time in the traffic so we have to work at double speed. I want everything to be ready by 7 in the evening. Now get going."

Elena was impatiently waiting for her friend Kiara at the Smith mansion. In the last moment on Kiara's suggestion, Elena changed the venue for her bachelorette. They carefully thought of all aspects. Knowingly they chose the farthest farmhouse. The location was a bit off in the sense that there were no restaurants, no bars, no shops in its 20 km radius. That means Ezra has to get everything from the town before leaving. They thought that she wouldn't be able to complete the arrangements by the time of the party. The party starts at 9 in the evening. She just wished her plans work accordingly. Finally, Kiara's car was pulled in the driveway.

"Where were you, Kiara? What took you so long?"

"Sorry, darling was stuck in traffic. Let's go."

"Yeah. I don't want to miss this for anything."

The work was going on full swing without any break. By the time it was 7, the work was almost complete. The hall looked classy and beautiful. It was decorated with the bride's favorite ocates and LEDs with a little bar in the corner, a high table like platform was kept under the chandelier for the strippers near the staircase. The only things left were to fill the bar with the bottles and buffet arrangement. Since all the guests were to stay overnight, all the helpers went to clean the rooms and stuff it with all the essentials. Ezra was talking to Neil when she saw Elena getting out of the car.

Elena and Kiara came in to find everything beautifully decorated much to their dismay. "How come she prepared everything on time?", Elena whispered angrily in Kiara's ears.

"I don't know babe. She impressed me", Kiara said watching everything in amusement.

"I hope you are on my side Ki. Don't forget what we came for."

"Relax sweetheart, I have plan B. Just wait and watch." She smirked. Both of them saw Ezra walking towards them.

"Oh hey, Elena", Ezra said coming forward. Although she didn't want to come face-to-face with her ever you gotta keep a professional attitude in the work.

"My room is ready?", Elena asked in a stern voice not bothering to greet her.

"Yes", Ezra said trying to keep her cool.

"Let's go, Kiara. We have to get ready." They both started walking upstairs to their room but stopped on their tracks when one of the staff came running.

"Ma'am, all the drink bottles are broken."

"What? How is that possible?" Ezra was shocked.

"Wow just wow. And you call yourself a wedding planner? Are you trying to sabotage my bachelorette?"

All Ezra wanted was to smack her face for poking her nose everywhere but she couldn't. In the end, it was her party and she had the right to overreact.

"I will make sure things are perfect before the party starts Elena. I won't tell you to trust me but don't stress yourself on this. I got everything handled."

"Yeah yeah let's see. Just so you know, if this bachelorette is flop you can pack your bags and leave forever." With that Elena went towards her room to get dressed leaving a fuming Ezra behind.

"How did it happen!" Ezra seethed.

"Don't know. Maybe it's the cat's doing", he replied.

"What cats? We have been working the entire day but I didn't see any."

"Look there." He said pointing towards the cats about to jump out the window.

"Damn what I am supposed to do now? It will take time to bring drinks from the town. There's nothing nearby." Ezra was annoyed and tired.

But there was someone smirking at her condition. "Why are you smiling Kiara? She has spoiled my party even before it's started. What's a party without drinks?"

"It's nothing. I just paid one of the staff to work for me."

"So you mean.."

"Yeah yeah. He has broken all the bottles. How come cats become so clever to break only bottles?"

They burst into laughter at the same time.

Ezra tried all the numbers to get the drinks delivered before the party starts. "Sorry ma'am but we don't have any convenience to deliver such huge order."

"It's okay", Ezra said defeated. Something occurred to her and she went to the kitchen. She didn't want to take any chance with the food. Maybe cats had screwed that too. "Leah please check all the food. Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, seafood is all good. We just have to microwave it and serve them hot."

"What seafood? It's not even on the menu." Ezra could feel the world spinning. Disaster after disaster. A few minutes ago she was struggling with the arrangement of drinks and now the food. "You were in charge of the food. How could you bring all the wrong items?"

"I brought everything from the list which Neil had given me. I am sure I made no mistake in fact I double checked everything", she said showing Ezra the menu.

"But this is not the menu. Oh god!" By this time Ezra knew this party was going to be a disaster. A great chance for Elena to pull out her tantrums.

"Try to contact Nick. I need some time to think."

She went out into the garden. Only one hour is left for the guests' arrival and there are no drinks and food. Staff have been running and trying everything to meet the needs.

Amidst all the chaos, her phone dinged with a message. It was from Michael. "Hey, all good. Wanted to talk to you. Are you free?"

Wanting to be sane in this insane situation, she dialed his number.

"Hey what happened? How is the prep going on?"

"Not good. Definitely a disaster especially when all drinks are on the floor and mismatched menu in the kitchen. I am doomed, Mike. I did try my best to make sure things are fine. And to top it all we are at the farthest location." She couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes and she began to cry.

"Ez listen don't lose hope. I will do something."

"What you will do from up there? I am screwed I know that."

"Send me the menu. I will make sure your drinks and food are delivered on time."

"I don't think it will be of any help Michael. Your bar is in the main town. It's gonna take a lot of time."

"Who said the food and drinks are from Rollers? Babe, I certainly won't send my food and drinks to that bitchy girl of your ex." Ezra smiled and wiped her tears. She realized how Michael would do anything for her. Only if he knew what effect he had on her lately.

"Okay."

"Great now send me the list."

Ezra sends him the list of drinks and menu. "But it will be too late. Only an hour is left for the party."

"It won't be late. Drinks will arrive on time. The food will take some time. Like half an hour more after the drinks are delivered. You just have to manage for the first few minutes of the party. You can do that right?"

"Yeah. Btw how come drinks will be delivered in an hour?"

"Look one friend of mine has a hotel half an hour drive away from your location. So, while I was talking to you Mark discussed everything with him."

"But neither I saw any hotel on the way nor anything online in the 20 km radius."

"That's because it's not opened for the public yet. Tomorrow is their inauguration. But my friend has stocked everything for tomorrow's service."

"Oh. You are my savior Mike. Thank you. What would I have done without you."

"No problem buttercup. I would do anything for you."

Ezra wanted to say more but the honking of cars signaled her that the guests are here.

"I will leave, Guests have arrived. Bye."

"Bye. I hope to meet you tomorrow."

"Yes, we will." Ezra bit her lip, preventing herself to smile so widely.

Elena welcomed the guests inside. Thankfully the starters weren't intermixed. The staffs were busy serving the guests.

"Did you plan anything Kiara because everything is going smoothly?"

"Don't worry Elena everything is on point. Just Relax."

Outside a truck came in view. Assuming it to be Michael's friend, Ezra went with Leah to where it stopped. A handsome stepped out. "Hi, I am Andrew. But my friends call me Drew. Mike told me about the crisis. Don't worry everything is ready."

"Hey, I am Ezra. Thank you so much for helping me in the last moment drew."

"Pleasure's all mine. I got to serve even before the hotel is up and running", he tells her politely.

"Congratulations on your new venture. I will make sure to come there once all this is done", she smiled.

"Yeah definitely. And don't worry food is also on the way."

"Thanks again."

"No problem. My staff will unload the drinks. Where to?"

"Ah Leah will show the way. About the payment.."

"Mike handled that."

"What..but.."

"You should concentrate on party Ezra. I am sure this can be handled later."

"Yes, you are right. I should probably check. See you later." Ezra smiled at drew and went back inside.

Everyone was having a blast in the party but Ezra was searching for Neil. Had it been not for Michael, she would have to suffer from humiliation. "Neil, why did you give the wrong menu to Leah?"

"What? No, I gave her what you asked me to." He showed her the menu and indeed it was what she had finalized. "But how come Leah got the wrong menu?"

"Wait, I was in a hurry so I gave it to a staff in the morning to give it to Leah."

"And who was it? We need to find him. I won't tolerate such blunder."

During the party, Elena was surprised to see everything going well. "What is this Kiara?"

"I know right. This girl is smart and witty. Knows how to play the game."

"Stop praising and just do something. I want her out."

"Relax. I will do something. You just enjoy your strippers."

Kiara thought instead of ruining the party she should target Ezra directly. If she is hurt or injured, she would have to back out anyway. She smirked thinking of her brilliant idea.

Neil and Ezra were also looking for that man before he does any more harm. "Ezra that's him." They followed the man. He was standing in front of the fuse trying to cut the wires. "How sweet? Do you need any help?" He turned around. He was scared. He tried running but Neil was fast enough to get a hold of him.

"We are going to ask you in simple words. Why did you destroy those drinks and mixed the food menu?", Neil asked choking him.

"Neil stop. He will die."

"Well, that's what he is gonna get if he doesn't spill the beans."

The staff tried removing his hand. "I was paid to do all these okay. Now leave me." He said in short breaths and pushed Neil away and managed to flee. Ezra stopped Neil. "Wait I think I know who is behind all this."

Ezra has had enough. She knew Elena was behind all this. When Elle didn't replace her, she resorted to these cheap tactics to get rid of her. She needs to show Elena her place.

Elena was heading towards her room. She was in the middle of the stairs when she slipped. She was about to fall but somebody caught her hand on time.

"Are you okay Elena?" Ezra asked in concern. She ordered some water for her. Elena drank and clutched her stomach panicking Ezra.

"Elena are you fine. Please tell me you are fine." She could see tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Thankyou so much Ezra." Elena was grateful.

Since others were drunk and busy dancing, nobody even cared to look at her. If not for Ezra, she thought she would have lost her baby. She was now feeling bad for all that she had done to sabotage her own bachelorette. How did she stoop so low? She wasn't this person. She knew it was her fault why Aiden and Ezra had differences but again rather than being scared to see her she was insecured. Insecured because Ezra was everything a man would need.

"You okay? Let's get you to your room." Ezra asked her when Elena zoned out. "Is there any pain?"

"No I am fine. Let's go!" Ezra helped Elena and made sure she doesn't slip this time.

"Are you sure you don't need anything?" She asked concerned.

"Yes. I just want to rest."

"Okay you take rest. I will send your friend up."

Ezra turned to go but Elena caught her wrist. "Please wait. I am sorry for..."

"I know."

"You know?"

"Yeah I was coming to confront you only. Look I know you have insecurities against me but trust me I have nothing to do with your fiance. He was my past and here I am just doing my job."

Elena listened to her in silence. "I have moved on. Will you trust me if I say I have a boyfriend?"

"You have a boyfriend?"

"Yes." Lies. It was all she could say in the spur of the moment. She didn't have any boyfriend. And with Michael there were many words left unsaid.

"Oh I am sorry Ezra. You are right I pet my insecurities and jealousy took over. And my hormones weren't helping at all. I hope someday you can forgive me."

Ezra knew Elena was serious about her apology.

"To make it up, why don't you bring your boyfriend to my wedding. It would mean alot. Please."

Ezra turned pale. She didn't know how to bring her non-existent boyfriend to the wedding.

"Elena I will look to it. He is a busy man, you know."

"Please Ezra I want to make up for all the mistakes Aiden and I have done. I really want to be friends with you."

"Uhh okay. I will look into it."

"See you in the wedding Ezra. I think you should take rest too." Elena smiled at Ezra.

Ezra left her room and walked towards the balcony. How will she bring a boyfriend and who?

The chapter was bit longer than usual. I hope you enjoyed reading it.
