Riccardo's POV: That hurts. That truly hurts. Her being pregnant is not hurting me but thinking about that someone has got her love, her desires, her body, and her touches, I want to regret seeing her but then I don't want to regret it. I don't know why I'm feeling like all this but I know one thing she has changed me. Not for anyone but for her. For her, I'm a changed man now. Not the one who kills, tortures, and doesn't care anything about it at all. I care for her and that's why I'm tailing behind her car when I have to run a freaking empire. I know I won't show my true side to her ever or I can say I can't show her my true side. But, knowing her pregnancy my true side has started to think and work differently. I want to know whose child is inside her womb. I know that she is not married and that means she may be pregnant with her boyfriend's child. That thought itself made me grip the steering tight but I controlled myself and I don't know what kind of feeling is this. I immedi
Riccardo's POV: Controlling my anger and impatience, I waited patiently for Noah. Yeah, his bodyguard didn't let me go inside and went to ask Noah's permission. I don't know if am I even being myself. I haven't ever waited for anyone but then here I'm waiting to get permission to see someone. Taking a deep breath, I started to tap my foot on the ground as this was also the way for me to be patient. I use this technique when dealing with some serious deals, possibly keeping myself sane from not taking a gun and killing the opposite person. But, my complete patience went into a thin air, as I heard the light sounds of footsteps. No, it's the one who I expected but the one who I'm dying to see. It was Ishita's footsteps as she was walking upstairs in her pointed heels. She didn't notice me and to hell, she didn't even remove her eyes from her mobile on her hand. I saw her entering the right side first room in the upstairs and didn't I tell you already that my patience was gone? Yeah,
Riccardo's POV: I stepped inside the dungeon through the secret way as no normal person should catch me entering any secret building as they'd come here like mosquitoes to find out why I went there, the biggest drawback of being famous. The secret way is from the nearest hotel which is mine. The first person who caught my eye was the Italian Mafia King who was waiting for me patiently. I saw him walking here and there but his posture has shown nothing about him being impatient…What should he look like? Because he is the King of the Italian Mafia but the second his eyes caught me, his shoulders shrunk as well as he hid his gun behind him… Everyone has a head and now I guess I too have one…I went near him and he slightly bowed his head to me and I nodded before stepping inside further. Like in the rule my dungeon especially this dungeon number five is not any dark underground but the brightest one in the underground. Yup, the bright dungeon, I went inside layer 2
Riccardo's POV: Keeping my confusion and newfound information at bay, I went to my mansion to change my suit. As I stepped inside the mansion, I saw the head butler walking towards me with a red letter in his hand. Again the color of the letter made me tense. He is walking slowly because of his age, but then I don't have the patience. Taking long strides I went near him and seeing my posture itself, he stood in his place and started to tremble in fear. I snatched the letter from him and also started to ascend the chairs as I didn't have enough time. Entering my master bedroom which is the only room in the second corridor of the first floor, I noticed there is no name in this letter, no from address, and no to address. This thing itself has cleared my doubt that this is not a normal letter. Someone must have delivered this letter here. I sat on the corner of my black bed and opened the letter. To my surprise, there was nothing inside except a small invitation. I was both surprised
Ishita's POV: We all got inside the party hall separately. Yeah, while Noah, Hermes, Dario and I got inside both Andres and Adele got inside the hall separately. I didn't feel bad because this is normal and seeing Hermes controlling himself from not grabbing his girl and kissing the hell out of her is one worth and also vice versa. Both are looking at each other like they will hunt the other one down and ravish them but to the one who doesn't know about them, that look will look like they are ready to kill each other in rage. I smiled seeing the happy surrounding until my eyes caught another pair of eyes which are looking at me. It was a girl who came with Andres. That girl was with Andres for the past few days… after we returned from Canada. Andres got the message from a particular cop saying that some girl was admitted there in a suicide case and that girl had drunk poison. First, that was nothing to do with Andres but then when they had saved that girl from the poison, co
Riccardo's POV: I saw her hugging that new girl with a sweet smile on her face but I don't know why I feel like that smile is fake. I remember how she smiled when she was with my pilots when talking to her friends, and when she hugged Noah's mother and father…there was a genuine smile on her face at that time but now the smile I'm seeing looks different. I glimpsed all the faces in the party hall once over trying to find any threat to her but the other business officials and the affiliates are not even leaving me for a second… If she was not here, I would've yelled at them, asking them to screw away but then I don't want her to see me as the Arrogant Armani…like what she named. I smiled thinking about her calling me with different names every time but then suddenly I caught her looking at me. I smiled at her and that's when I completely noticed that new girl. She was looking at me with the unknown fear and I tried as much as possible to remember her. I was go
Riccardo's POV: I couldn't believe that I failed. Yup, that girl who was dragged by the hotel security is nowhere to be seen. I searched for her all over the hotel and my men were also searching for her using their methods but it was like she just disappeared in the thin air. I got inside my car as I knew that the anger which is building up in me would surely have its trace on my face and soon it would also start its work on my attitude and I don't want to create any drama here. I took my mobile and hacked the hotel security cameras by myself and started to see where she possibly went but when I saw that the girl didn't even step outside the hotel. She was only in the cameras where those security guards were dragging her outside the party hall but then there was no trace of them dragging her outside the hotel and her leaving the hotel by herself. I noticed that my men who just followed them outside also got confused not knowing where they went. What the hell is possibly happening h
Riccardo's POV: I watched him as he looked around the bar room in my mansion. Though his reaction showed an impression, I'm afraid about whether he will say that Ishita hates this. I fake coughed to get his attention on me while sitting in the bean bag to relax myself little more and also not wanting to show him my dominating side. He looked at me with a small smile and he was going to sit on the other bean bag but he looked at me sly smile and went near the bar. "Can I have that vintage wine, Bordeaux red blends?" He asked me and I feel proud about my collections. I didn't say anything to him. I just nodded my head at him and he gave me a big smile. He went behind the table and started to pour one glass for him. When he finished pouring for himself, he finally realized that I was sitting there and offered my own wine to me. When I nodded my head at him again, he poured for me too and came and sat on the bean bag opposite to me with two glasses in his hands but not before kissing
It's silent…the whole room is completely silent and I look at Ishita who is looking at me with the same accusing and happy looks. After a pure five minutes of silence, Noah broke into laughter shocking me. Both Noah and Ishita went and joined those two people at the table. "I can't believe that you didn't even know them when you kidnapped them," Noah told me and I saw all the three looking at me with the same accusing look. "When did I kidnap…" I was about to ask something when I looked at them and Ishita. There are some similarities in their looks and I guess I forgot to notice those two people's features before. My eyes widened at the realization of remembering their last names…Kapoor. I immediately looked down in shame and the ruckus I created. Shit…why I didn't even try to look at the photos of her mom and dad when I even know that she talk to them daily. I asked Gio to keep an eye on them as I care about her family for her but I've never once trie
Riccardo's POV: As I came outside my car, I saw the manager of the restaurant waiting for me outside. If Ishita was here with me, I would have thrashed at him as she hates unwanted attention but somehow I can't deny it. He is waiting because he knows that I have a breakfast meeting here. Probably, the opposite party must have told him as this is one of my restaurants. I just nodded at him and he guided me inside. He stood in front of the private chamber and I went inside to meet the chairperson and founder of the Blue international. They both immediately stood up seeing me. I just nodded at them and took my seat. Blue International is an Indian company, so the people here are Indians. Though I'm fond of Indians after being the boyfriend of the Indian woman my nature as Armani won't change to any people. I wonder why all of a sudden I got a meeting proposal from the chairperson of the company about the new dealership when the CEO is the one who handles these types of meetings. Anywa
Riccardo's POV: Looking at the sleeping girl in my arms, I don't know what's the feeling in my heart that is rising every single time I look at her. I know I liked her at the very first moment my eyes caught her sitting on my jet and then knowing her, I fell for her head over heels in a short period of time. But, now after being in a relationship with her for two complete months, I know that she is the one selected for me, only me. I know this may be crazy, but trust me I wanted someone who is only made for me. And, I'm happy that the girl is none other than one who I'm in love and obsessed with. I'm going to make her mine…completely this time. Covering ourselves with the duvet again, I pulled her closer to me as I started to drift in the memories of these last two months. Sure to her words, I took her to my old home the very next day after meeting Noah and spending some time with him. I'm sure that he is whipped by Parveen. And, true to my words, I couldn't stop crying th
Ishita's POV: After that kiss, he just kept staring at me and I still couldn't believe that Salvatore was the one who kissed me now. I accepted Armani wholeheartedly thinking that maybe he didn't like those girls he saw before in his life and he liked me but Salvatore is a whole different story. Accepting him comes with different tags which I'm afraid of. Not only about those tags but also about him that everyone is afraid of. It's not that I'm an innocent who doesn't know anything about the mafia, so that I hate him but then I'm also working in his mafia. And I know he never hurts innocent as that is also one of the reasons why Noah and I joined his mafia in the first place, so I don't have any reasons to hate him. No…I'm not angry with him for hiding his identity as I can't expect the richest and biggest mafia don ever to share his secret with the girl who wasn't even a part of his life not more than a week. We may be in a relationship but then it just only two days when
Riccardo's POV: I didn't wait any second after coming out of that hut and started to run into the forest holding an iPad that was showing Ishita's tracker location. I haven't thanked anyone till now but now I want to thank Dario for following her. I know I should have shouted at Parveen for not following her but then she only wanted to inform me about Ishita and I know that decision is also the best. I don't know who is following me but I can only hear the heavy steps in this dark forest even though the moon today is somewhat bright. I turned on the flashlight on the iPad while on the other hand, I called Dario but the tower in the place is very poor. Though this made me fear more, I saw Ishita's tracker stopping at the particular place, and that made me fear for my life as there was a chance that she fainted or something might happen… I know people will say not to think negatively and in my case, I'll say that people should think about negative sides only to take precaution
Noah's POV: In the blink of an eye, Riccardo kicked that bastard straight on his chest making him fall down with the chair he was tied to. It was instant that made me step back a little. Khan came near me to balance me so that I won't fall. I looked at him and he just nodded his head at me telling me to relax but I know I can't when I'm seeing the raging bull in front of me. "Make him stand up" Hearing Riccardo's thundering voice I again turned my head towards him. Gio immediately put his gun down removed the ropes from that bastard and made him stand in front of him but he was already coughing blood because of the kick. And, Riccardo again kicked him and he fell down again coughing more blood. He is not fighting back with Riccardo and it seems like he has accepted his death. This time Riccardo squatted near him and pulled his hair in order to talk to him. "So, tell me will you again think about touching my girl?" Riccardo is not asking him but there is a warning in his tone
Noah's POV: What?... That is all that is running inside my mind now after hearing Riccardo. I couldn't understand what he was saying. I know that he is not what shows to the world but I never thought of Riccardo as a killer. "I don't consider that stupid man even as my father…so you killing him didn't make you my enemy. I'm greedy and I wanted everything you have. And, I guess you already know everything about me. Anyways, it finally feels good to hear my real name after years and I love how you play the games" That bastard spoke with a smirk after a silence and yes that is what Riccardo asked is he taking revenge on him for killing his father? "I somehow expected this answer from you, Malhotra" Riccardo told him and looked at Gio who immediately took another chair and set it for Riccardo to sit on. I got confused not knowing what was going on here but when I saw Ishita's expression, I knew that she knew what they were talking about and I guess there is a lot I need to
Ishita's POV: My body started to shake seeing him…not in fear that he was the psychopath or he was the mafia boss of some organization but because of pure rage. Because of him, I lost a peaceful childhood, I lost myself by seducing others and now he has hurt my monkey who is part of my family. Sensing me, Noah hugged me tight and I knew he didn't know that I was angry. He must be thinking that I'm afraid and he always does this but seeing the smirk on Riccardo's face which is directed towards me, I know that he is gonna enjoy the show. "Looks like that I'm in trouble" I heard that bastard and that's when I looked at him clearly. He may be a little height than Gio, Khan, Noah, and Dario but still Riccardo is intimidating him even with his height. I think I have never given any moment to see his features in all these days…if I did I would have been able to see the familiarity in his face. "Yes, you're Despande. Walk now" It's Gio who pointed his gun at that bastard'
Noah's POV: It's hell...the pain is hell. Having two gunshots in my body that too was not treated well is not what I expected when Riccardo told me that I was going to be the pawn. Though I still didn't understand his full plan, I expected these people to at least treat me like a man when I'm a billionaire hot species but here they are having me as a slave in a dark room. I looked around only to see Dario sitting in the other corner of the room looking around like me. "Are you comfortable boss?" He asked me but that made me happy and smile sadly. "Thank you, Dario" I whispered slowly knowing that he'll give me a weird look if he heard that. "Noah, I'm asking seriously, are you fine? I think sitting on this bloody floor and this scum place is playing with your brain. Hearing him calling me Noah, I know he is serious. I scrunched my nose seeing this disgusting place and all these things were making me remember the past. Those days when I and Ishita was tortured. The place we we
