Savior Of Her Heart novel Chapter 21

Alessandro's POV:-

I am currently in a meeting with some investors for the new restaurant chain that I want to open in Mexico, however my mind is occupied with my wife who is slowly making her way to my heart. Everything about her is like a mystery to me, a mystery that I want to unravel bit by bit. She is an innocent soul but at the same time, she is more mature than her age. I didn't marry her out of love because love is something I don't think exist. Then what are these emotions that I have been feeling for her? Why does her tears affect me so much that I feel like destroying the person who is responsible for her distress? I still remember what I had said to Samuel when he asked if I would be able to love Anhuphama, I told him that a person only needs luxury to live a happy life but now I can say that I was highly wrong. Because apparently my dear wife hates to be pampered but what can I do? She is the only woman in my life who has seen this side of me and till the end, she will be the only one for sure.

"... and after that we can sign the deal." That's all I hear from one of the investors. Fuck I haven't heard a damn thing, I was so busy in my thoughts that I have missed all the important thing about the meeting.

"I have really liked your proposal however I need to think about it so I will let you know in a few days." I tell them while Bianca looks at me with a confused look. I stand up from my seat and shake their hands. When the investors and other employees leave the conference room I sigh in relief. I walk towards the window and look at the city.

"I have never thought that a day will come when the great business tycoon, Alessandro Bianchi would be thinking about something other than his business." I roll my eyes at Bianca's sarcastic comment.

"You don't have any idea about what I am thinking then why are you passing unnecessary comments?" I ask her without looking back.

"I don't need to know because your face is showing enough to see what's got your attention so much." She replies while standing beside me. I look at her with annoyance but she has a soft smile on her face. She links her arms with my left hand before putting her head on my biceps. She is a petite woman of the same height as Anhuphama so after wearing heels, still she can only reach till my chest or biceps. Many times people have written a lot of terrible things about our relationship but only a handful of people know how deep our bond is.

"I am really glad that you have married a girl like Anupama because you both fit perfectly well with each other. She is the constant that you have needed in your life and you are the comfort she has been wanting till now. Both of you have suffered a lot in your lives, just because you are a  successful businessman at present it doesn't mean that everything has been easy for you from the start. I have seen the complications you have to face from others and that is one of the reasons why you have become so isolated. She is also the same as you, and I know that only you have the power to make her strong." Bianca says while I process her words in my mind. I don't want to accept it but she is completely right. After that day in the library, I am extremely worried about Anhuphama's self-loathing. She thinks that she is the reason behind every bad thing that happens but she is wrong to think like that.

"I have a favor to ask from you." I tell Bianca who hums in reply.

"I want you to train Anhuphama and involve her with my company." I answer. Bianca looks at me like I have said a ridiculous thing which I give a deadpan look.

"But she doesn't know anything about business Alessandro, she has said that herself to me. Then how can she associate with this big company?" Bianca asks me with concern. I sit down on my chair and motion her to take a sit.

"I don't know anything about her personal life but I am pretty sure that she is not a fool to not know anything about business. Don't forget that her father is one of the best businessmen in India. I don't know why her father hates her so much but one thing is for sure that one day she will be a bigger businesswoman than her father." I reply to her in which she nods her head in understanding.

"Okay, fine I will talk to her. But before that, I have another issue to discuss with you." She says while passing me her i-pad. I take the i-pad but what I see is something I am not prepared for.

"She is back Alessandro and you know what it means." I clench my fist seeing the person who has caused a lot of turmoil in the past.

"Also, she is not alone this time. What I have found out that she has married your biggest rival, Sebastian White a few months ago. They are planning something behind your back so be careful from now on." I don't say anything in reply just tell her that I want to be alone for some time. When she leaves I take out my phone before calling Samuel.

"Yes, boss?" He asks over the phone.

"I want you to keep an eye on Sebastian White and his new wife. I want to know every little detail about their whereabouts." I order him before cutting the call. I think people are forgetting who I am and what I am capable of doing. If they think that they can mess with me and get away with it then I think I need to show them their place. No one, I mean no one mess with Alessandro Bianchi or his family.

                         **********

It's already midnight and I haven't gone home. I have informed Melody that I will be late so they should not wait for me. I remember I have promised my princess that I will be home before she sleeps but not today. I need to blow some steam before going home and for that, I need to go somewhere. I park my car behind the rundown building and get out of my car. Marco is already waiting for me at the entrance in casual clothes while half of his face is hidden behind a mask. When he sees me coming he hands me a mask but I dismiss it. I want to show everyone that I am the same person who was once the king of this underground fighting. I may have left fighting but the old beast of the ring is still there inside me. I directly go to the locker room and change my clothes. I only wear black shorts leaving my upper body on full display. I wrap dark strapping tape around my both hands before standing in front of the mirror. It's been three years since I have come here as I have promised someone that I will never fight in this underground arena but I need to do this or my anger will destroy everything.

"Bro I don't think you need to do this. Just think about your wife and daughter, what will they think if they somehow get to know this? Please think before doing anything." Marco says worriedly.

"It's not like I have come here to stay Marco. I need to blow some steam and this is the best way to do that. Before you suggest going to a club, you know right I don't like to go there and get myself drunk." I reply without turning back. I hear my name being called by the owner of this place so I turn to look at the motherfucker.

"My favorite boy has finally decided to come back in his favorite place I see." Max, the cocky bastard say while coming to hug me but I put my hand on his chest to stop him.

"Why you must come in front of me when you know how much I hate you?" I ask him. His face pales seeing the deadly look I am giving him. He has been always like this in front of me still, that never stops him from saying shit behind my back. I pet his cheeks quite harshly before going past him to the arena that is calling for me.

The crowd goes silent when they see me coming, but soon enough there are hooting and hollering of my name. I am sure this will be the main topic of tomorrow that the great business tycoon, Alessandro Bianchi has returned in the arena after he vowed not to come back again. I have never hide anything so everyone knows that I used to be a very popular underground fighter. But I am pretty sure if my lovely wife finds out about this then she will be sure freaked out.

My opponent who is very muscular standing tall between the arena, he is one or two feet taller than me and looking at me with a burning gaze as if he is here to kill me. My lips curve slightly as a smirk form on my face. I am so going to enjoy beating the shit out of him. I go and stand in front of him looking directly in his eyes. When the bell chimes he throws his hand to punch my face but I easily dodge him before giving him a hard punch on his left rib cage. He grunts in pain but doesn't back out. The fight goes on for at least ten more minutes before he is completely knocked out. I don't wait for the announcer to say anything, I simply walk out of there and directly goes to the locker room to change clothes. While coming out of there I notice that Max is standing outside while smoking. Marco is also there but he is looking tense for some reason. When Max notices me coming he throws the cigarette and hand me an envelope which I am sure has money.

"I am not here for money Max so you can give it to the man who has come here to kill me." He looks shocked by my answer.
