Savior Of Her Heart novel Chapter 16

Alessandro's POV:-

You know when people say marriage can change one's mindset, it's completely true. I have always been an attentive person when it comes to my company and business, but today I don't want to be here as I can still remember the crying face of my little princess who was making grabbing hands at me implying that she wanted to be in my arms. I didn't want to leave her side but I have been skipping my work for three days so I have to come to my office but not before getting a lot of hugging and kisses from my daughter.

Yes, that's what she is to me and forever will be. Anhuphama has done a tremendous job in raising that little girl so well despite having to face the hatred of her family. Not only me, also Melody has taken an immense liking towards my princess and her mother. But what shocked me the most is the behavior of my dogs. Usually they hate it when any stranger come to our house however, that is completely different with Anhuphama and our daughter. I know they hate being called puppies but whenever my princess calls them puppies, they lay on their stomach to show their appreciation towards their sister. Although Anhuphama is still get scared seeing them but I have a strong belief that they will melt her heart very soon.

"How can you betray me like that Alessandro?" Someone asks putting a stop at my chain of thoughts. I groan seeing the person in front of me who is none other than my extremely annoying best friend, Marco Davis.

He has his famous cocky smirk on his face while he walks towards me before sitting across from me.

"What do you want Marco?" I ask him while looking through some important papers.

"You are asking me what I want?" He asks pointing at himself with a fake shocking face. I really want to punch this fucker but alas I can't do that so easily. I put down the papers before looking at him with a malicious expression.

"Come on man, don't look at me like that. Your stare is scary as Satan." He complains while raising his hands in a surrendering manner.

"Then don't come to my office unannounced you fool. I don't have time for your silly chit-chat." I reply with an eye roll.

"I am not a fool, okay? By the way, I have heard that you, the famous Lucifer of the business world had gotten married to a very pretty lady from India." He starts to wiggle his eyebrows making me more irritated.

"So what? It's not like you are someone special to know everything about my life." I reply while signing some documents.

"How can you say like that? Don't you remember the cold winter nights we spent together? Don't you remember the long drives we took as a couple? Don't you remember the way you used to look at my eyes and started to ki-" I slam the documents on the table before looking at the fucker in front of me.

"Shut the fuck up Marco. What the hell do you want from me? Don't you have a company to run?" Sometimes I really regret my choice in making friends.

"It's simple buddy. I want to meet your wife." He replies with a wink.

"No." I answer immediately because I don't trust him around Anhuphama. He is known as a Casanova who likes to use women as he pleases. I know he will not try anything with my wife but he can corrupt her innocence with his dirty talking.

"I am not taking any no from you, beside Dad also wants to meet her as you have forgotten to inform him about your sudden decision of marriage." Shit! Uncle Gabriel will have my head in a platter for sure.

"How did you guys even know about the marriage? I haven't announced it to anyone." I wonder aloud but I have a guess who can tell them about my marriage.

"Who else do you think? Of course, it's my Mama Melody." I should have known that Melody can not keep any secret from Uncle Gabriel as they are very close to each other.

"Okay fine. I will call Uncle Gabriel by myself and talk to him." I reply.

"But I want to meet your wife. If you are not gonna let me come in dinner then how I will get to meet her." He complaints.

"Look, Marco I have a lot of works to do so please do me a favor and get out of here right now." I answer. Just then my phone starts ringing showing Melody's caller ID.

"Yes, Melody?" I say after receiving the call.

"Tell Marco to come for dinner and before you say anything, Gabriel is also coming to meet your wife. So come home early if you don't want to get a scolding from your Uncle." She replies over the phone.

"Uggghhh. Okay fine, I will come early but now tell me where is my little princess?" I ask her.

"Your princess is busy playing with her toys and her dogs." She replies with a chuckle.

"That's good. Okay, then I am hanging up." I say before cutting the call.

"Wow, man so it's true," Marco comments looking surprise.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Marriage change a person completely. Look at you my buddy, who is known as the most cruel businessman in the US is smiling like a fool after hearing about his princess. Damn your wife must be very gorgeous for you to call her princess." What the hell is he talking about? Wait, I think he is thinking that I am calling Anhuphama my princess. I start laughing understanding the meaning behind his words.

"Why are you laughing like a lunatic bro? Do I need to call a doctor for a check-up?" I control my laugh before looking at the idiot sitting in front of me.

"I don't need any doctor check-up, Marco. You will meet my little princess tonight so try not to be late." I reply while he looks at me with a suspicious gaze.

**********

Around 6 pm I reach home and directly go to my bedroom to freshen up. I haven't seen Anhuphama or Melody after coming home, one of the maids inform me that they are busy in the kitchen making dinner for the guests. After getting dressed for the dinner, I move towards my little princess nursery. Anhuphama was not very happy with the idea of our daughter having a room by herself but when I assured her that this room is just for playing purpose or taking a nap, she calmed down.

Just like I have thought my little princess is busy playing with her dolls and stuffies. I have ordered a bunch of toys and stuff animals for her but seems like my daughter is very fond of her bunny stuffies. As usual, the dogs are laying on the floor beside her.

"What is my piccolo doing?" I say going inside the room. By hearing my voice, she immediately drops her stuffie before running towards me with her little feet. I pick her up in my arms before kissing the top of her head while she lays her head on my shoulder.

"Me play puppiesh and dolliesh." She mumbles while pointing at her toys and the dogs.

"Hmm, I see. But didn't you miss Papa?" I ask her while she looks at me wide eyes.

"Mish you much." She replies cutely while extending her arms by her side to show how much she has missed me. A big smile form on my face seeing her adorable gesture. I put her down before petting the dogs who are eagerly waiting for their turns.

I look at the little girl who has been able to wrap me around her tiny fingers the moment I have seen her. Being raised in an orphanage had made me good with children because the more I grew up the more I had to take care of kids in there. Maybe that's why I have gotten so attached to the little girl. I have never thought of having my own kid but now I feel proud of having a daughter like my little princess. However, I have to learn to pronounce her name because everyone needs to know my daughter's name. As much as I like to call her little princess or piccolo (little one in Italian), It's my duty to pronounce my daughter's name well.
