Anupama's POV:-
"I am not sure if we should sign the deal or not. Let me review the reports one more time and then I will let you know my decision." I reply over the phone before cutting the call to finish writing some notes. My online exams are in two weeks so I don't have much time left to study.
After two hours of studying, I have started to feel tired so I decide to take some rest. I get up from the chair before arranging my books on the table and leave the room to go to the garden for some fresh air. However, when I reach the garden my eyes widen seeing Advira riding on the back of a little horse or I should say pony. But much to my surprise, she has a bright smile on her face while asking Samuel to go fast who is guiding her. I walk hurriedly towards them and stop when I finally reach near them. Upon seeing me, my baby's smile broaden more making me smile too.
"See mum-mum. Me ride horsie." Advira says excitedly.
"I can see that baby. But aren't you afraid of height? What if you fall?" I ask while fixing the hat correctly on her head.
"Me no scwared. Untle Sam teach me." She replies cutely.
"She is correct Mrs. Bianchi. I am here with her so you don't have to worry about her getting hurt." Samuel says from the side with an assuring smile.
"I know I don't need to worry when you are here to protect her. It's just that I easily get scared nowadays after what happened in the past few days. So, I hope you don't feel offended by my constant worry." I let out.
"I am not a bit offended because I know how much trauma you had to face for some days. But I can assure you that nothing will go downhill from now on. You know, I have never seen Boss so angry before. It like I am seeing a new side of him, and I am happy to say that this side suits him better. Because now, he is not the merciless business tycoon anymore. He has become a dutiful husband and a doting father who can go to any extent to protect the one he loves." He says with a satisfying look as if a big pressure has left his shoulder.
"I don't know what I have done to deserve a person like Alessandro. Because from childhood, I have heard that I am not going to have a happy life as I am a disappointment. But after marrying Alessandro, I have gotten the love and care I have been longing for all my life. So, I am the most luckiest person in the world to get him as my husband and I am proud to say that my husband is so protective of us." I reply with a smile.
After some more talking I bid goodbye to Samuel and Advira before starting to water the newly planted flower plants. My phone starts ringing so I put the water sprayer down before retrieving the phone from my trousers pocket to see that Olivia is the one who is calling me.
"Hello, Oli. How are you doing?" I ask after picking up the call.
"I don't have time for chit-chat with you. So, quickly get ready and meet me in my salon in half an hour." She replies and cuts the call. I look at the phone in confusion because I am not sure if she is in hurry or she is angry with me. But what I know that I need to get ready or only God knows what that girl will do.
I ask the gardener to water the remaining plants and go inside the mansion to get ready. It only takes ten minutes for me to get ready before I inform Jasmine di about my visit to Olivia's salon. She has been home for some days because of the pregnancy so I am not worried about leaving Advira alone.
After that, I ask the driver to take me to Olivia's salon and send a text to Alessandro to inform him where I am going. He has been quite busy with some projects so I am not able to spend much time with him for some days. But I am not complaining because work is also important and he has already neglected his work for me.
Soon the car stops in front of the salon so I get out and ask the driver to go home. I get inside the salon to see that there is no client in there, only the staffs are available along with Olivia who is grinning from ear to ear after seeing me. She gives me a big hug before making me sit down in a chair and order her staff to start the procedure.
"What's going on, Oli?" I ask looking horrified at the things going around me.
"You just keep your mouth shut and let us do our thing." She replies sternly.
"But-" I don't get to say anything because she puts a chicken wing in my mouth with a glare. I slowly chew the food and try to relax because I don't want to deal with an angry Olivia. After what seems like a year, they are done with harassing me. Okay, I know I am exaggerating because they have only pampered me with manicure, pedicure, facial, hair spa, and many more. Olivia has also put minimum makeup on my face and curl my hair.
"Now, go into the washroom and put on this dress." Olivia orders handing me a pretty dress with matching heels and I do as she said without asking any question. Because I am sure that she is not going to tell me anything. After putting on the dress and heels I come out of the washroom.
"Wow." One of the staffs murmur making me feel shy.
"Damn, you are looking so gorgeous Anu." Olivia comments while looking at me with a big smile.
"Thank you, Oli. But can I know why you have gotten me ready?" I ask the question that is roaming in my mind from the start and I hope that now she will give me a solid answer.
"Hmm, that's a good question. But I think it will be better if you get the answer from the person who has asked me to get you ready." She replies making me more confused. She asks me to follow her so I go after her. When we reach outside she signals me to look ahead with a wink. I sigh in annoyance before looking at where she wants me to look but I get surprised seeing Alessandro in front of us. He is sitting on the driver seat of a vintage style car and giving me an intense look making me blush.
He gets out of the car before walking towards me like a predator making me gulp. Upon reaching near me, he wraps a hand around my waist and turns towards Olivia who is grinning like a fool.
"Thank you for helping me, Olivia." Alessandro lets out making me look at him with curiosity.
"It's my pleasure to help you and I hope that you will always keep my friend happy." Olivia replies.
"That's what I intend to do." Alessandro replies with a smile.
"Now go before you get late." Olivia says while shooing us with a wink. Alessandro and I bid her goodbye before we walk towards the car. He opens the door for me and after I get inside he straps the seatbelt around me gently before getting into the driver seat.
"Where are you taking me, Alessandro?" I ask after he starts driving the car.
"I have arranged a surprise for you Tesoro so I can't tell you where we are going." He replies with a smile. I huff in annoyance because I really want to know what's going on.
"Don't be angry my love. I am just trying to show you how much I love you. By the way, there is a package in the backseat. Can you grab that for me?" He asks so I turn around and notice that there is a heart shape box full of red roses, a lot of yummy-looking vanilla macarons along with a little teddy bear inside it. I look at him with my mouth hanging open while he chuckles seeing my expression.
"I hope you have liked the first surprise of the day." He says while taking the box from the back seat before handing me the box with a smile.
"Thank you so much for the gifts, Alessandro." I reply while taking a bite from the macaron.
"You are welcome but don't eat too much sugar or you won't be able to enjoy the dinner." He says making me pout.
"But they are for me." I reply stubbornly.
"I know that very well and also I remember you are craving macarons nowadays. But still, I want you to eat only three and keep the rest for tomorrow." He answers gently making me understand. So, I only eat three macarons while keeping the rest for tomorrow. After twenty minutes of driving, he starts to drive to a secluded path before stopping the car in an isolated area.
He gets out of the car first and opens my door before helping me to get out. He puts a blindfold on my eyes and guides me towards the way he wants to go. Soon, I feel heavy wind hitting my face making me shiver but he pulls me near his chest so that I don't feel cold. I can hear the sound of water so I think we are somewhere near the beach because of the salty smell coming from the ocean. Suddenly he stops walking and takes off the blindfold making me open my eyes. But I gasp seeing the enormous yacht in front of me. I turn to look at him to see that he is already looking at me with a pleased look.
"Alessandro, this is..." I don't know what to say and I think he understands so he gestures me to look at the yacht again which I do.
"This is your second surprise, Cara. Now, look at the side of the yacht." He lets out so I look closely at where he is indicating. I put my hand over my mouth seeing what's written in the yacht.
"Anupama." I whisper before turning around and hug him tightly feeling emotional.
"I know that I still can't pronounce your name correctly but I have ordered the interior designer to put the correct spelling of your name on the yacht." He informs while running his fingers through my hair.
"Why did you put my name on the yacht? And if I am not wrong then this is your yacht. Right?" I asks.
"I have put your name on the yacht because this is your yacht." He replies casually.
"WHAT?" I shout jerking away from him.
"Shh, don't shout my love, and also my men can hear you. They will think that their boss is getting scolded by his wife." He replies with a pout.
"Alessandro, why did you buy me a yacht? What am I supposed to do with it? It's too much." I exclaim.
"I will do what I want for you and you are not going to stop me. Also, you are a businesswoman and I want you to have the luxury you deserve as my wife. Now, let's go and get into the yacht because I have more surprises planned for you." He says before guiding me into the yacht. He introduces me to the captain and other crews of the yacht before giving me a tour of the yacht. I look at everything with awe because I still can't believe that he has bought this luxurious yacht for me. This man is really hell bound to spoil me.
