Alessandro's POV:-
After what happened with that bitch Linda I have fired all the maids except two who are working for me from the moment I have gotten the mansion built. As for Linda, she is rotting in jail and I have made sure that she will never be able to come out of that hell hole ever. Anhuphama was reluctant at first because she thought that it was unfair to fire others because of one person's wrongdoing. But when I assured her that I have given them two years worth of salaries in advance, she relaxed a little.
I have been spending as much as time possible with my princess and I am sure that she is loving the attention she is getting from her Papa. The thought of her being hurt is enough to make me anxious so to keep her with me, I have taken her to the company a few times with me. Whenever she comes to the company, everyone starts to cooing at her adorable antics, and in return, she gives them flying kisses.
Today is a little different than other days because today we are not going to my company. Instead, we are attending the inauguration of the new branch opening of Sengupta Enterprise. However, the name of this branch is completely different than the other one in India. This company will be named after our daughter, AB Enterprise which is the short for Advira Bianchi Enterprise. She has also assured me that her father is not a bit offended with her for changing the name of the company in LA.
This is also a new thing to admire as Anhuphama and Mr. Sengupta has started to interact more with each other. They sit together and talk like a father-daughter should. I am glad that my Cara is getting the attention she deserves from her father. Although there is still a lot of things that need to be discussed between the two, I am sure that they will be crossing that path too in the future. But the sad thing is that he can't attend the inauguration as he has gone back to India. He said that there is no one to look after the company so he needs to go and get everything right in the company.
Another interesting thing that is happening for some time is that Miss Ganguly has started to talk again and we have been able to catch the criminals who have assaulted her before. However, I am quite surprised to see her bonding with none other than Marco. The same Marco who used to see her as a spoilt brat but now they have formed a deep friendship between them.
"Papa me ready." My piccolo says coming outside of the mansion while holding hands with her Nonna. She is looking like a little doll and the little handmade red beanie cap is making her more adorable.
I pick her up in my arms and gives her a lot of kisses making her giggle. I hear laughter coming from the side so I look forward to see that Anhuphama along with Mrs. Ganguly and Olivia are coming outside the mansion while chatting among them.
I can see that Olivia has finally convinced Anhuphama to get a makeover and I have to agree that my wife is looking damn gorgeous. It's not like she needed any makeover however all the ladies suggested that she needs a little professional touch on her wardrobe as well as in her looks. When she asked for my advice I told her straight that it's up to her because it's her body, if she thinks she needs to change something then she is not bound to ask anyone about their opinion.
When she stops in front of me, I don't waste any time to wrap my right hand around her waist before dropping a kiss on her forehead, in which I get a big smile in return from her. I like to see her all smiling and happy. This woman is making me feel something that I vowed not to feel. But what I can do if the woman in my arms is so fascinating to not feel something in the heart.
"Are you ready for the new journey Cara?" I ask her.
"I will be always ready if you are with me." She replies softly.
********
The whole place is buzzing with the excitement of the reporters and the newly appointed employees who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the head of the company. When we arrive at the auditorium room of the company, all the sounds die down as everyone's focus diverts towards us. I can feel Anhuphama getting tense seeing so many people but my hold on her waist doesn't flatter a little. She is taking such a big step in her life and for doing this, she is bound to be uncomfortable. However, I am sure that my Bengal tigress will show everyone how competent she is to run this company.
Mr. Ganguly is the one to address the press and the employees first. He very smoothly gives a brief description of the company and its goal for the future. He introduces himself as the CEO of the company and also describes about the role he will be playing in there. Finally, the time I am waiting for comes when he asks Anhuphama to address the crowd. I give her hand a assuring squeeze to let her know that I am here for her.
She reaches the stage and takes the microphone from her brother before turning around to face the people who will work under her. Upon seeing her mother on the stage our daughter starts to clap her hands in delight making me kiss the top of her head.
"Good afternoon everyone. As the chairwoman of this company I would like to thank all the media people who have come here despite their busy schedule and also to the newly appointed employees who I am sure will be bringing a lot of success to this company." Anhuphama tells with a kind smile. I can feel that everyone in this room wants to hear more from her because of the gentle aura she has around her.
"Many of you may know about this company being a branch of my father's company 'The Sengupta Enterprise', but after some discussion with my father I have come to the conclusion that this company's name is going to be after my daughter Advira Bianchi. She is the most valuable treasure of my life and in our culture daughters are viewed as Goddess Lakshmi meaning the Goddess of wealth and prosperity. My daughter is no less than a Goddess Lakshmi for me, so with that being said, I would like to announce that the name of the company will be AB Enterprise from now on." Everyone clap their hands in appreciation making me feel proud of my wife who looks so confident that no one will believe if I say that this same woman was crying out of fear yesterday night that she wouldn't be able to do anything right today.
She then starts to talk about the things she wants to do for the company and expects the same from the employees too. She ensures them that they can come to her for asking any help they need. She then turns towards me and asks me to join her with our daughter on the stage which I do without any hesitation.
"If you guys are seeing me at this stage is all because of the man standing beside me, my husband Alessandro Bianchi. He is the one who has shown the utmost belief in me and convince me to take the place of the head of this company. He not only encourages me to move forward but also respect my decision, and for that I will be always thankful to him." I feel my heart swell with admiration for this woman. She doesn't need to thank me for anything because she is getting what she deserves from the start.
"Now, I like to introduce our precious daughter Advira Bianchi who I can see that getting impatient to not be able to move around the stage." She says making everyone laugh.
"Jokes apart, our daughter is the best part of our lives and I am grateful to be called her mother. She has brought so much joy into my life that no amount of words can be able to express the love I have for her." I don't know if our daughter understand anything or not but she gives her mum-mum a big kiss on the cheek.
Anhuphama tries to give the microphone to me but I deny the offer because I want her to have all the attention. After some more talking Anhuphama informs that the work will start from tomorrow so the employees can look around the company building and have some snacks that have been prepared for them. She also asks the reporters to enjoy the snacks as well.
I excuse myself when I realize that my phone is ringing but not before handing our daughter to Anhuphama. I am shocked to see that Richard Wilson is calling me so I don't waste a moment and receive the call. However, hearing the voice on the other side of the phone make my blood boil in anger.
"Hello, Alessandro." Samantha, Sebastian White's wife says over the phone.
"What do you want?" I ask rudely.
"Don't be such a fuss with me. I know you are angry with me for not keeping in contact with you for the last couple of years but don't worry, now I am back for good. We can get in touch as much as you want." She kind of purrs like a dying cat.
"I will be jumping into the sea full of sharks before getting in touch with you. Because I hate your existence, Samantha." I reply clutching the phone in anger.
"Oh, come on babe. I know how much you have missed me and believe me, I have missed you too." She replies.
