Alessandro's POV:-
Life can not be a constant state of happiness, it will throw hurdle after hurdle to make you feel like a failure. I am not someone to believe in obstacles but before I didn't have anyone to care about the way I do now for the two important girls in my life.
I was so happy and excited to surprise my wife and wanted to see her smiling face by bringing her two favorite people in our house. However, the moment I saw the fearful look in my daughter's eyes, I felt such fury in me that I haven't felt before. I have vowed to take care of her for the rest of my life but I have failed to protect her. Some selfish people have made her cry and for that, they will have to face the consequences.
Currently, I am in my princess's nursery giving her a bath. She was very shaken up and sweaty so I have thought that the bath will help to calm her nerves. She is throwing the rubber duck towards Tank (Rottweiler) who is catching it in his mouth without any problem before putting the toy back in the kiddy bathtub. She is clearly enjoying the play with her brother because she hasn't stop giggling. When I think that the water is getting cold I take her out of the bathtub before drying her with a towel. I put baby lotion on her little body before getting her dress in a cute giraffe themed onesie.
"Hey princess, Papa has a gift for you. Do you want it?" I ask my baby girl who looks at me with a curious look.
"Gwift for me?" She asks while pointing at herself.
"Of course just for you my piccolo. Do you want it or should I give it to Tank?" I ask her in which she gives me small huffs in return.
"Me want gwift. Puppiesh no wike gwift. Give me gwift or me be angly." I can not help but laugh at my daughter's demand. I kiss her chubby cheeks before picking her in my arms. I come out of the nursery before standing in front of the opposite room from her nursery.
"Close your pretty eyes baby." I tell her in which she immediately closes her eyes making me chuckle. I open the door to the room and put her down on the carpeted floor. After that, I tell her to open her eyes and when she does, her eyes roam around the room in excitement. She runs towards the life-size teddy bear that is sitting on the corner before hugging the stuffed toy tightly. This is her new or I may say the actual playroom which is personally designed by me. Unlike her nursery, this room is completely filled with different types of playing & learning things. I have purchased every single thing in here while keeping my princess's liking in my mind. I have chosen a Golden peach color for the room while child-friendly paintings are hanging on the walls. However, I have left a wall bare because I want to put my daughter's drawings there. From the unrecognizable doodles to the greatly done drawings, I am going to frame everything.
"Did you like it, princess?" I ask the hyper little girl who is running around the room to look at all the toys, coloring books, ball pit, and many more things.
"Me wike it much Papa. Me lub you." She replies coming towards me while I crouch down to her level before hugging her tightly.
"I love you too princess." I answer while she squeals in joy. She again runs away from my arms and starts to play with the kitchen set that has been set up by the left section of the room. I just stand there and watch my daughter play with Tank who is barking from time to time to show his excitement too.
"You are spoiling her too much." Melody comments from beside me but I can see the adoration in her eyes for the little princess.
"She is my daughter and if by making her happy is considered as spoiling her then yes, I am going to spoil her rotten." I reply without taking my eyes off from my smiling daughter.
"I am pleased to see you being like this. Now, go and talk to your wife. I want to spend some alone time with my grandbaby." She kinds of order me before walking inside the playroom. I take a deep breath and get out of there. I directly go to Anhuphama's room but she is not there so I go to the kitchen in search of her but she is also not there. Now, I am getting worried about her. I ask the maids but they reply that they haven't seen her for some time.
"She is in the backyard with Jasmine." Mr. Ganguly says coming in front of me. I heave a sigh of relief after knowing where my wife is.
"Thanks for the information, Mr. Ganguly. I just wanted to see if she is alright or not." I reply in which he nods his head.
"She was feeling very terrible after knowing what happened in Kolkata and also today at the mall so Jasmine is trying to cheer her up." He informs making me clench my fist. I know Anhuphama is still blaming herself for everything. I have to talk to her now. So I bid goodbye to Mr. Ganguly and go in search for my cara.
Like Mr. Ganguly has said I find Mrs. Ganguly and my wife sitting in the wooden swing that is available in the backyard. When they notice me, Mrs. Ganguly stands up from her place before giving me a small smile. Without saying anything she gets away from their leaving me alone with my wife who is wiping her cheeks. I sit beside her before looking at the night sky which is full of stars. After some time of sitting there, I feel her looking at me before she puts her head on my shoulder. I wrap my arms around her and pulls her near my chest.
"Are you feeling better now?" I ask while running my hand through her hair knowing she likes it very much.
"Hmmm, but I still think that everything has happened because of me. I have always been the reason for everyone's pain and now my dadabhai is separated from our family just because of me." She replies making me want to slam my head on a wall but I know that I need to handle this with calmness.
"It's just your thinking Cara, not the reality. Your Grandma and Aunt have put so many bad thoughts in your mind that you are always blaming yourself for the things you don't have any knowledge about. Okay, fine you think that whatever happened with your cousin is because of you then please elaborate me how are you related to the topic of him marrying the person he loves? Aren't you happy to see them happy?" I retort back.
"I am very happy for them but I am also very sad to know that Pishimaa has disowned dadabhai just because he didn't want to accept her decision. I know that she is not correct but she is only angry because Jasmine di has helped me." She answers.
"Sorry to say that but you are completely wrong. Your Aunt is angry because she can not see you being happy with your husband and daughter. She only cares for herself, not her son whom she disowns just because he refused to accept her decision." I tell her to which he nods her. Suddenly, she pulls away from me before looking at me with an angry look.
"Why didn't you tell me that Dadabhai and Jasmine di is coming today?" She asks angrily but to me, she is looking like an adorable little kitten.
"It simple Cara. I wanted to surprise you so I didn't tell you. Also, I have something to discuss with your cousin. If everything goes well then I will start working on it." I reply making her looking at me with suspicion.
"You are not planning to do anything bad, right?" She asks while her lower lip jutting out in a pout.
"I promise Cara, I am not doing anything bad. Now, let's go and see the gift I have prepared for our daughter." I tell her and lead her inside the mansion while holding her hand in mine.
********
It's been two days since Mr. Ganguly and his wife has come here. I have talked to him about my idea, first he was a little hesitant to accept the offer but after some convincing, he has accepted my offer. Mr. Sengupta aka Anhuphama's father has fired Mr. Ganguly from the post of CEO of his company but I have a feeling that someone else is behind this mishap. I think they have forgotten that I still have 70% shares in that company. So, I have decided to transfer 20% of shares to Mr. Ganguly's name and the remaining 50% will go to my wife's name. Neither Mr. Sengupta nor his darling niece have any idea about my decision so it will be incredible to see their faces when they will come for tomorrow's reception party.
Bianca has hired top event planners for tomorrow's reception party while Samuel is seeing all the security measures. The party is going to be held in one of the most famous hotels in the entire Los Angeles. As my mansion is situated in Beverly Hills so I have decided to throw the party at a nearby hotel which has a big ballroom so it's quite helpful to invite many guests. Although I wasn't in favor of inviting many people but my PR team has suggested that it will be the best idea to introduce my wife and daughter to everyone.
Anhuphama and our daughter is spending time with Mrs. Ganguly while I am busy with non-stop meetings. I have invited the top media representatives to the party because I want everyone to know about my marriage and stop talking nasty things about my wife. By the way, I have shut down all the media agencies whose reporters were the reason behind my daughter's tears. The owners have begged me to forgive them but they should have been more careful before poking their nose in my personal matters. Earlier no one has any idea about my princess but now after the incident in front of the mall, many people have gotten to know that I have a daughter too and they are again making assumptions about it so I will make sure that by tomorrow everyone's mouth will be shut.
