He halted his car after reaching their destination. Aniya, who was sitting on the passenger seat with Flora on her lap, looked outside through the window and noticed it was the back gate of that showroom as the front was locked in order to avoid the attention of outsiders before its inauguration. "We reach, tall uncle?" The little girl asked while stopping licking the chocolate bar in her hand which had smeared all over her mouth, hands and even face. He chuckled at the sight. She was looking adorable whereas Aniya sighed. She had told him not to buy her chocolates during their ride because she knew her daughter would practically bathe herself in it, rather than eating it but when he had ever listened to her? Especially when it concerned Flora and her orders and her wishes? Exhaling a heavy breath, Aniya removed the seatbelt and was about to grab her handbag to take out the handkerchief so that she could clear Flora but before she could do that, Aniya found him taking out his handker
"So you don't need to get worried about it, even if she would lose it," he uttered, gazing straight into her sea-green hues coldly. "It has nothing to do with you," Aniya's heart felt some kind of aching, processing those words of his and she herself could not understand its reason yet. She had nothing to retort back with him anymore on this topic.He watched her lowering her eyes as her face filled with gloominess. He sighed because he finally noticed his tone and his words were extremely harsh and cold. He should not be saying such things to her because she was her mother and she had every right to decide what her kid should take from him and what she should not. Understanding his mistake, he heaved a sigh."Take it from her at home when she falls asleep and then keep it somewhere safe. You can give it back to her whenever you feel she can wear it now," he used his amiable tone with her this time. He didn't want to behave harshly with her but after witnessing that she didn't want
"This is me, my momma and my tall uncle," hearing those words from the little girl's mouth, everyone's face tense up, especially her mother's and her tall uncle. Flora tossed her head to look at her tall uncle."Right, tall uncle? It is you, momma and me," she said to him, smiling widely. Both Riccardo and Aniya saw that hope gleaming in Flora's eyes. That little child was not even aware of what she was wishing for. Aniya's heart felt an aching pain.Riccardo forced a small smile to Flora which didn't reach his eyes and then he looked towards Aniya. He could clearly see how much Flora's statement had started bothering her and might even hurt her too. A visible discomfort prevailed between all of them, including the manager because she could not understand why a kid would give her father's place to someone else. But she knew she was in no place to tackle that topic anymore, so she gently smiled at the little girl. "Tall uncle, I want this," Flora uttered while trying to grab that sc
"FLORA….." Aniya's scream resonated against the walls of that hall. Everyone looked in her direction and he clearly understood that now she had her enough. Flora's words had outraged her in the worst possible way.Aniya dashed towards Flora, glaring at her with her angry eyes. The little kid tense up. Her mother had never gone so angry at her ever."What did you just say?" Aniya uttered in her enraged voice. Flora's eyes went teary. Her mother had never scolded her like this before. The little girl didn't even know what she had done to receive her mother's scolding."I asked you something, what did you just say?" Aniya raised her voice more. Flora's eyes filled with more tears. Her silence filled Aniya with more anger."What did you just call him?" She pointed her finger towards him while peering at her daughter. Flora remained quiet."Answer me, Flora," Aniya shouted at her. The kid flinched before parting her mouth to answer."P….Papa…." She slowly breathed out. Riccardo felt a pain
Standing in front of the window of her room, Aniya was watching those dark clouds engulfing all over the evening sky. Tiny drops of rain had started falling from the inky sky. The weather had turned gloomy all of a sudden and it was not calming down that storm emerging inside her heart. After whatever she had said to him this afternoon and the way he left her home, all of this was not settling well with her.Aniya felt that gentle pull on her hand by that small soft palm. She tilted her head and saw Flora standing beside her. The little girl was holding her ears."Momma, I am sorry," Flora apologised to her momma, holding her ears."I am so sorry for making you angry," Aniya's heart felt a pang, hearing and watching her. Crouching down in front of her, she wrapped her palms around her small face."I am sorry, momma," she again apologised. Aniya embraced her kid in her warmth. A tear rolled down from her eyes. She was aware of the harshness she had used on her kid today, even after kn
Aniya felt like more tears had started gathering in her eyes when finally her gaze got collided with those dusky brown eyes of his. Those dusky brown eyes which she had been dying to see in these few hours. She was just about to feel grateful after seeing him in front of her but her happiness faded before she could even feel it properly when her eyes fell on those deep bruises and cuts all over his face. She trailed her eyes down and noticed that his entire body was drenching. His white shirt was torn and dirty but the faded stains of blood were still present on it. Her heart shuddered in fear. She snapped her watery eyes upward to his face again and caught him blankly staring at her. He was not even blinking. His gaze didn't get apart from her face for a single. His eyes were bloodshed but he was not drunk. He was in his full senses. His state clenched her heart vigorously. This time, she took the first step of getting closer to him. Without thinking about anything else, Aniya grabb
Her toes were curled up whereas her palms were tightly clutching his shoulders. That room got filled with the obnoxious sound of their skin slapping against each other and their heavy breathings. The havoc of the weather had calmed outside just like that havoc of pain inside those colliding bodies. The rain was now pouring down beautifully and with serenity. "Aah…." Her pleasure intensified as he dug his teeth against her sweet spot, all the while ruining her down there. Aniya clenched herself around his extremely hardened and swollen girth. She slowly opened her watery eyes and found him already staring at her. His jaw was set. His wet hairs were covering his forehead. His sinfully ethereal eyes were fixed on her which were flaming with numerous emotions at that moment. Aniya had never seen so many emotions in his eyes but at this moment, she could feel and sense all of his emotions. It was like, for her, he had pulled down all his walls which were guarding his emotions till now. H
A tender moan came out of her mouth as he guided himself inside her core. She winched in discomfort, feeling him extremely deep inside her. In this position, the penetration felt more cavernous to them. Their foreheads were pressed against each other whereas their noses were brushing. They both were breathing into each other's air. Both of their eyes were closed. Grabbing her waist, he slowly started moving her on his lap. Aniya held onto his shoulders while nibbling on her lips. She had never felt something like this. It was a kind of pain one would ache to feel over and over again. It was a kind of feeling which had blurred the line between sin and blessing for her. "Aaah…." She whimpered when he accelerated the movements of her body and pulled her closer, pressing their nakedness against each other. It hurt her because he was painfully sizeable and swollen but her body was not complaining about that pain anymore. It was becoming the slave of that passionate pain he was making he
"So, handsome gentlemen…..hold onto your hearts," Flora announced, running out of the kitchen, making both her father and uncle Dario look at her. They both smiled at her while sitting on the dining table. "Your beautiful wives here finally, so please welcome ...Mrs Aniya Riccardo Alfanso and Mrs Niova Dario Quzer," she uttered while extending her both hands towards the entrance. Both Aniya and Niova walked in with the bowl of food in their hands. A smile was ghosting on both of their faces. "Gentlemen, please help your beautiful wives," everyone chuckled, hearing Flora's words and both the men stood up on their feet to help their wives carrying the food to the dining table. When Dario was taking them to a restaurant in his car, Niova called him and there she told her husband to bring the Alfanso family to their home for lunch as she had been missing them for a week now. Everyone agreed because both of their families shared a very deep and close bond with each other. "Where's Rica
"Papa….." Flora cried out, feeling the head of the gun getting pressed against her temple. Her watery eyes remained fixed at her father. That man pushed the gun more closely against her, bringing more tears in her eyes. Riccardo's each and every man turned alert because that situation had turned extremely dangerous. "Papa, please save me…." She started sobbing loudly. Riccardo keenly stared at Flora's every single action. That man chortled, hearing Flora's loud cries of help. "Seems like your daughter is not that brave like you and your son, Alfanso," that man remarked, gripping Flora's neck more tightly."You failed to make her like you. She is a fucking coward," he laughed at her helplessness. Riccardo didn't part his mouth to say a single word but didn't blink away from his daughter even for a second."No, please leave me…. don't kill me, please…" Flora cried out more loudly while shivering. Her whimpers made that man smirk more cunningly."Please. I am begging you. Don't kill me
"Today was so fun. I really loved it," A smile formed on Riccardo's and Aniya's faces by hearing their 20 years old daughter. "All thanks to my piccola for suggesting this idea," Riccardo uttered, focusing his eyes on the road while controlling the steering wheel of his car. Flora beamed, hearing her father as she was the one who suggested to have a family day out. "Yeah….yeah….you and your favourite daughter, dad," that voice made Flora trail her eyes down at her 16 years old brother whose head was placed on her lap as he was trying to sleep. Flora frowned and hitted his head. "Hey…that hurts, you ugly eagle," the 16 years old spat, rubbing his head and taking his head up from his sister's lap. "Aww! my little baby brother. Be grateful I didn't break your ugly jaw," Flora passed her brother a fake smile, making him scowl. "You both shut your mouths and don't you dare to start here," they heard their mother warning them, who was sitting on the passenger seat of the car. Riccard
"Ready," Riccardo tied Flora's pigtails, making the little girl extremely happy. Taking a glance at her reflection in the mirror, Flora showed her papa a thumbs up. He chuckled and pecked the tip of her nose."Ora, ready for school, baby?" Aniya entered their bedroom, carrying Flora's tiffin box in her hands. They both looked at her."Momma," Flora jumped down from the dressing table and ran towards her mother. She hugged her legs."Momma, is my baby brother awake?" The little girl asked, pointing her tiny finger towards her mother's swollen belly. Aniya chuckled. She bent slightly as it was almost the end of her third trimester of her pregnancy. "Yes, your baby brother is awake and he is very happy that his big sister is going to school," she said, making Flora clap in happiness. The little girl wanted a brother. Smiling, Riccardo walked towards them and then grabbed the tiffin box from Aniya's hold."Cara mia, you should rest now," he uttered, earning a tiny frown from Aniya. "It'
"Will you become Aniya Riccardo Alfanso?"Tears rolled down from her eyes, processing the meaning behind those words of his. Aniya had never even dared to think a moment like this would ever come in her life from the second she had found herself in that brothel. A kind of moment where someone wanted to be hers. A moment where someone would want to share his name with hers because for this entire world, she had become an object which only looked good when getting used by everyone but no one would ever want to get associated with her name, let alone attaching their name with hers but he proved her wrong in each and every possible way. Not just only his own self, he was now willing to share his existence with her.Riccardo saw those tears brimming in her eyes which told him everything which was going inside her. He had started understanding her silence more than he had ever even understood his own words.He palmed her face more firmly and leaned closer to her face."My life had taught me
At the breakfast table, when Riccardo saw Aniya leaving without eating anything, he understood something was not right with her. He had been noticing from the past couple of days that she was acting a little weird. She was barely initiating a conversation with anyone and was even skipping most of her meals. He had also noticed that she was looking tired most of the time, so he told her that they would visit a doctor for her checkup to which she seemed to tense up even more and denied him by saying that she was fine and it was just her monthly cycles. But today when he saw Bellyana following her to the bedroom, he understood something was going on, especially when he witnessed that distressed reaction on Aniya's face. "Ora, you play with them. I will be back. Okay, piccola?" He uttered while cleaning the little girl's mouth after he got done feeding her. Flora nodded at him and stood up on the breakfast table and walked towards her shades uncle. With a smile, Dario collected her in h
"Aniya," Niova's voice broke the bubbles of Aniya's thoughts. She recovered from her shock but her eyes were still focused on the television screen which was showing the news of Ryker's death in that bomb blast."Ani, do you think it's….."Niova paused but Aniya knew what she was trying to ask her. Aniya exhaled a very deep breath."I don't know. I will talk to you later, Niva. Firstly, I need to have a talk with him right now," she uttered because right now, she needed to have a conversation with him regarding this urgently."Okay, bye," Niova hung up the call which made Aniya trail her eyes back the television screen."Reportedly, this bomb blast seems to be pre-planned by one of Ryker Verlice's enemies who wanted him dead as the attacked godown is the belonging of Mr Ryker Verlice and the attacker was aware that Mr Verlice was going to be there that time of the blast," Aniya read the news which automatically started shivering her hands in fear. He took dozens of lives again and this
"I…I love you so much, Riccardo," Finally finding all her answers and comprehending her each and every kind of emotions and feelings towards him, she dared to utter those words to him because Aniya knew the aftermath she would have to face if she would let him walk away from her like this. Once she had terribly regretted, telling him to get out of her life and that night she was almost about to lose him and today, that thing was about to happen again and somehow she could feel that if she didn't stop him this then she would lose him for the rest of her lives and she was not capable of enduring it because she had fallen for him more than she could even understand and make anyone else understand it.She tightened her arms around him more and more."I love you," she softly breathed out while snuggling her face in his back. Her tears continued to wet his coat. Dropping his hand down from grabbing the knob of the door, he slowly turned around. Her heart ached badly, seeing those tears gli
"And he is Flora's biological f…father,"Riccardo became too aghast to understand anything after hearing those words from her mouth. His head turned completely blank whereas his eyes rounded, completely appalled. He couldn't just believe what his ears were hearing. Ryker was Flora's biological father?"Flora's father?" Even his voice was laced with shock and somehow confusion too. It brought more tears to her eyes. She wagged her head at him, holding back her tears from coming out of her eyes."Yes, he is Flora's biological father," she uttered while taking her eyes down. Again his eyes rounded more, hearing that thing from her mouth once again. His hands, on their own, fell down. He also trailed his eyes down towards the floor, trying to gather that information he had just received. Ryker was Flora's father? No, this couldn't happen. He refused to believe it.Snapping his head upward, he gripped her arms tightly and yanked her closer."Don't fuck with my head, Aniya," he glowered at
