Savior Of Her Heart novel Chapter 25

Alessandro's POV:-

I can see the pain in Anhuphama's eyes when her father said that he has only come to the party because of the share I have taken from him. I know how eager she was to meet her father but this man in front of us can not be called a father who doesn't even acknowledge his daughter. If he thinks that he has any right to humiliate my wife then I will have to show him his place.

"How are you, Baba?" Anhuphama's voice pulls me away from my thoughts making me look at Mr. Sengupta.

"How do you think he can be after what you have done?" Miss Ganguly replies instead of Mr. Sengupta who looks unfazed. I feel Anhuphama going stiff in my arms and I am sure she is again blaming her for everything.

"If I am not wrong then I think Mr. Sengupta is not a disabled person who can not answer by himself." I tell her with a sarcastic smile.

"She is my niece and she is allowed to reply in my place." Mr. Sengupta replies arrogantly making me clench my fist.

"Papa me go play." My princess demands so I give her to Marco who happily takes her in his arms before disappearing between the crowd of people. When I turn around I notice that Mr. Sengupta's eyes linger on my baby as if he wants to hold her but refraining himself from doing it.

"So, you are really playing house with this unwanted woman and his trash of a daughter." Miss Ganguly comments with a cruel smirk that I want to wipe out of her face but my wife beats me this time.

"That's our daughter you are talking about Riya so I will advise you to keep your mouth shut if you don't want my husband to throw you out of this party." My heart burst with pride hearing Anhuphama's sharp reply and I am sure I have a big smile on my face. On the other hand, Mr. Sengupta and his niece are looking completely surprised by my wife's sudden reply.

"Don't you dare to talk to me like that. Just because you're married to Alessandro doesn't make you any important person in my eyes. You are still the same worthless and unwanted girl for me." Miss Ganguly answers with disgust but my wife doesn't back out this time.

"I don't care what you think of me but what I care that your attitude is ruining my father's reputation. Also, it's Mr. Bianchi for you not anything else. I hope you have come here to enjoy the party so it will be better to do that or else the door is open. Let's go, Mr. Bianchi." Anhuphama replies before she takes my hand and we get away from there. However, when we reach a secluded area she starts crying while wrapping her arms around my waist. I get startled but then I hold her tightly before rubbing her back gently. Her whole body is shaking from the heavy sobs that are leaving from her mouth. My guts wrench hearing the sound of her crying. So, I take her to a nearby room where I can talk to her in privacy.

I make her sit on the bed before fetching a glass of water for her. I give her the glass but she shakes her head so I give her a stern look. Finally, she takes the glass from my hand and drinks a little bit of water. I sit beside her on the bed and take her left hand in mine. I look at the engagement ring and the wedding band on her ring finger which she is wearing from the moment I have put them in there. But today she hasn't worn the red and white bangles she wears every day.

"What are you looking at?" She asks, her voice is a little horse because of the crying. I look at her eyes to see that her makeup is a little messed up while there are tear stain on both her cheeks. I take out the handkerchief from my dress pant's pocket and wipe her face as gently as I can before kissing her on the forehead.

"I am very proud of you today for the way you have handled the situation with your father and cousin. I know it must hurt to hear so terrible words from your family members but I hope now you understand that being silent can not be the solution for everything." I tell her while fresh tears fall from her eyes.

"Why did you marry me, Alessandro? I am nothing but a burden to everyone." She replies with a broken expression. Although I am happy to hear her calling me by my name but seeing her so broken makes me want to kill someone.

"You are not a burdened Cara, not to me at least. You are my wife and mother of our precious daughter for that I always will be grateful to you. Besides that, you are the strongest women I have seen so far. Don't let other people's nonsense talking get in your mind or head, you are going to face your enemies by yourself and I will be there to be your backup. I don't want to be your knight in shining armor because I believe my wife has the potential to face every hurdle so I will only guide you whenever you need my help." I tell her in which she nods her head before I hug her close to my chest. Whatever I have said is true and I will make them happen. No one will be able to make her feel worthless because she will show them how much capabilities she has in her.

I call Bianca and tell her to come to the room with Olivia because my lovely wife is not ready to get out of the room with her messed up makeup and tear stain face. I try to tell her that she is looking beautiful but she replies that I never see any fault in her so I am not telling her the truth. Soon, the girls come into the room but they don't ask anything about Anhuphama's situation and for that, I am very pleased. They tell me that they will be in the ballroom in a few minutes so I leave them alone and go away from there.

When I reach the party room many of them giving me nods of acknowledgment. I take a glass of champagne from one of the waiters before I go in front of Mr. Ganguly who is looking very uncomfortable for some reason.

"What happened Mr. Ganguly?" I ask while taking a sip from my drink.

"I think Riya has something dangerous going on her mind because a few minutes ago she came to me and told me that today she will reveal everything. I don't know what she is meant by that but I am sure she will do something bad." He replies with uncertainty.

"Don't worry I will handle everything." I answer but he is still looking very tensed so I decide to tell him everything that has happened earlier with his uncle and sister. After hearing what Anhuphama has done he is ready to jump and dance his hearts out.

"I knew it that our Anu has the guts to stand in front of Riya but she just needed courage which you have given her. I can not describe in words how much I admire you for the way you treat my sister and niece with so much care. I didn't think that you are capable of caring for someone because of the way you have married her but I am happy for whatever you have done. I am not ashamed to accept you are the perfect person for my Anu and Advira." I smile at his words before I feel little hands tugging at my wrist. I chuckle seeing Delilah standing there with a smile on her face.

"Yes, how can I help you, Delilah?" I ask the sweet girl.

"I want to dance with you Uncle Sandro. Daddy is not here and Uncle Marco is already dancing with Advira so I don't have a dancing partner." She replies softly. She has always been a soft-spoken person who always likes to put a smile on others.

"Of course sweetheart. Let's go and dance like we always do." I reply and take her hand in mine before going to the dance floor. I request Mr. Ganguly to join us on the dance floor with his wife and he accepts my request without any problems.

*******

It's been half an hour since I have left the girls alone but they are not back yet. I am getting restless so I tell Delilah that I am going to look for her mommy and aunties. I pass her to Uncle Gabriel before turning around to go in search of my wife. However, I notice that she is already coming towards me with a smile on her face. When she stands in front of me I ask her for a dance which she accepts.
