Savior Of Her Heart novel Chapter 36

Alessandro's POV:-

"Yes, Bianca we are going to be there soon. I am completely ready and my princess is too. But her mum is not ready yet." I reply on the phone while tying my shoelaces.

"If Anupama is taking so much time then I am sure that you are going to have a hard time controlling yourself after seeing her." Bianca answers back with a laugh.

"She can wear a paper bag and I will still find her the most beautiful." I reply.

"Oh my God Alessandro! You have become so cheesy. But jokes apart, please try to come soon." Bianca says and disconnects the call after I assure her that we will be there in half an hour. I spray some cologne on both wrist and the neck area before picking my princess from the bed where she is playing with her dolls. My daughter is looking cute as a button and I am damn proud of myself for the dress I have chosen for her.

I have chosen a classic black three-piece suit with a white shirt underneath. Instead of wearing a long tie, I have decided to wear a black bow tie to match my suit. Today's ball is extremely important for my company so I can not just go there without looking good.

"Why is it taking so long for your mother to get ready piccolo?" I ask my daughter who is playing with the bow tie.

"Me no know." She mumbles and squirms to get down as she likes to walk on her own. However, she also likes to hold my finger while walking as if she is the one who is going to lead us to our destination. Soon we reach downstairs and see that everyone is already there looking nice all dressed up for the party. But the one person who is missing is my lovely wife Anhuphama.

"Don't worry Alessandro. There was some issue with Anupama's dress so it's taking her some time to get ready." Melody assures me when she notices the worried look on my face.

"But her dress was alright when we bought it the other day." I reply getting confused.

"Just wait for some minutes and you will know everything." Melody replies with a mischievous smile. There is sure something going on that I am completely unaware of. I sit on the couch with Mr. Ganguly and starts to discuss some business-related matters. Halfway through the discussion, I hear clicking sounds of heels so I look at the stairs to see who is coming. But my jaw drop on the floor seeing the ethereal beauty standing on top of the stairs. I can not even form proper words to describe the emotions I am feeling at this moment but one thing is for sure that I am the luckiest man in this entire world to have the opportunity to call Anhuphama my wife.

She gives me a nervous smile and starts to walk down the stairs followed by Mrs. Ganguly and Olivia whom I don't even see in the first place. The more she comes near me the more I notice how elegant she is looking. She doesn't even wear the dress I have bought for her but I am not a bit offended because the one she is wearing now, is far better than the other one.

When she comes and stands in front of me I wrap my arm around her waist before pulling her towards me. She doesn't hesitate to put her hand on my chest while her cheeks tint a rosy color which I am sure doesn't come from the makeup.

"Do you have any idea what you do to me?" I whisper in her ear making her chuckle.

"Nope." She replies while I kiss her on the cheek.

"I am sorry I couldn't wear the dress you have bought for me." She says after a few seconds looking upset. I shake my head and give her waist an assuring squeeze.

"You don't have to apologize Cara. I am sure that you have your reason not to wear that dress." I reply with a smile.

"The zipper of the dress got broken and I didn't have much time to fix it so I chose to wear this dress at the last moment." She informs me.

"I am happy that you didn't wear that dress because the one you are wearing now is much better than the one I have chosen. In fact, you are looking like an angel in this dress." She giggles before hiding her face in my chest making me laugh at her adorable gesture. I realize that we are the only ones in the living room so everyone might have left to give us privacy. I take this opportunity and lean down to kiss her but she stops me by putting her hand over my mouth.

"We need to get going or we will be late." She says and runs away from there with bushing cheeks. I laugh at her shy nature before following her out of the house. When I get outside I notice that everyone is giving me an annoyed look as if I have been keeping them waiting. I roll my eyes and get inside my car with Anhuphama and our daughter who is looking out the window the whole ride to the company. I like the sparkle in her eyes by seeing all the lights and decoration that has done for Christmas. I am not a fan of Christmas but Melody likes to celebrate the festival every year with the maids because I have never participated in her celebration. However, I think this year I want to change everything and I will do it by myself.

                           *******

Upon arriving at the company building I get out of the car before helping Anhuphama to get out. I can feel the numerous camera taking pictures of us but I don't care about them and I am happy to see that this time my wife isn't a bit scared of the paparazzi. Both of us walk inside the ballroom while our daughter is being held in my arms. I have to say that I am very pleased with the decorations and everything. Many of the business associates come to greet us and congratulate Anhuphama for the opening of her company.

Bianca along with Liam and their two daughters come forward to meet us. By seeing Delilah and Mia our daughter squeals in joy so I put her down to let her play with them. Anhuphama isn't in favor of leaving them alone but Bianca assures her that she has set up a play area for the kids to play so they will not get bore.

"Come on Anupama let me introduce you to some of my friends." Bianca says and take Anhuphama with her. I look at the retreating back of my wife before turning around to face Liam who looks a little tired for some reason.

"Are you feeling okay Liam?" I ask him.

"I am okay Alessandro, just a little tired because of the workload." He replies with a tired smile.

"Why don't you take some days off?" I ask while taking a glass of wine from the passing waiter.

"I am also thinking about the same. But first I need to talk to that hot-headed wife of mine who only cares about her beauty sleep." He replies making both of us laugh.

"I can not deny that because your wife is a real pain in the ass." I tell him.

"What are you guys talking about?" Marco asks standing beside me.

"That you don't have time for me." I reply getting a huff in reply.

"Oh come on Alessandro we all know you are the one who don't spend time with your best friend anymore." Marco retorts while I smirk at him.

                           *******

My princess is laughing non-stop because of the funny faces I am making between our dance. However, after a few minutes, she gets tired and asks me to put her down. I do as she asked and she runs to her Nonna who is talking to Uncle Gabriel. Just then I notice that Miss Ganguly is also sitting with them while there is no sign of Marco at the party. A tap on my shoulder has me turn around and I see that my beautiful wife is standing in front of me.

"Can I have a dance with you, Mr. Bianchi?" Anhuphama asks with a smile.

"Of course you can but what I will get in return?" I ask her back while snaking my hand around her slim waist. She puts her arms around my neck and leans towards my ear.

"Maybe something special when we get home." She replies seductively making my eyes widen for a second before I clear my throat to get the dirty images out of my mind. I squeeze her waist in warning making her laugh hard. I shake my head and start to dance with her. The dress is a little low cut around her front so I am getting a nice glimpse of her cleavage which is not helping me at all.

I want to take her away from here and have my way with her. But I know that this will be a stupid idea because as much as I want to make her completely mine, I also respect her privacy. I am sure that she will come to me when she feels like she is ready for the next step of our relationship.

Suddenly, Anhuphama's eyes widen in fear looking up at something and she pushes me away from her making me fall on the floor with a thud. A loud noise of something breaking can be heard so I look forward to see that the big chandelier has broken down.

"ANHUPHAMA!" I yell and stand up before running to Anhuphama's side to see that she is laying on the floor unconscious. I take her in my arms before checking for any injury but find none.

"Please wake up Cara. Don't scare me like that." I tell her but she doesn't respond to anything.

"Let me check her." Mrs. Ganguly says coming towards us. By now, there is a huge chaos going around the ballroom. But I don't care about anything besides my wife who is laying unconscious in my arms.

"What happened to her Mrs. Ganguly?" I ask worriedly.

"She has fainted out of shock so don't worry. It will be better if we take her home and after going there I will give her some medicine that will help her in getting consciousness." She explains calmly and I nod my head in response. I pick up Anhuphama in my arms and start walking out of the ballroom followed by Mr. & Mrs. Ganguly. I put her inside the car and sit beside her before putting her head on my lap. I run my hand through her hair trying to calm my hard-beating heart. I dial Samuel's number and after a few rings, he receives the call.

"I want you to find out how did the chandelier break down." I order him.

"I am already searching about the matter and I will let you know as soon as I can find something. Is Anupama alright?" He asks.

"She is still unconscious but Mrs. Ganguly has assured me that she will get better after some rest. Oh, I forgot to take my princess with me. She must be scared not to see me there. Can you please bring her home?" I ask.

"Don't worry boss Mama Melody has already on her way home with Advira. Uncle Gabriel and Bianca are also coming with her. By the way, I will call you later when I find something about the mishap." He replies and disconnects the call. My fist clench in rage because I am sure that someone has purposely tried to harm us. I don't know who can be so crazy to harm my wife and think that they can get away from my clutch. I will kill the person with my bare hands because of them my Cara is now lying unconscious.
