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
Ishita's POV: I don't know what Noah is planning to do but I know that it is something about that Arrogant Armani. I'm seriously tired of not knowing how to make him understand that we can't involve Arrogant Armani in that. Because of me, his life is already in danger and if we include him more in our work, I don't know what will possibly happen. I was walking here and there in Andres's room while thinking about all these and he was just looking at me tensed while sitting on the bed because I was straining my already sprained legs. "Andres, call Noah or please let me call him…What if he told anything to Arrogant Armani?" I asked him the hundredth time and he was still looking at me tensed. "Ishita, can you please stop walking? Your leg is already injured because of that bitch and what if Noah told anything to Mr. Armani? There is no problem with that. You, yourself are calling him Arrogant and yet you're behaving like he is some small child who knows nothing about this wor
Ishita's POV: I went downstairs after taking a bath and changing into black jeans and a black top with a black coat for fashion. Even when I know that my life is fucked up, I don't stop myself from showing my positives to the world and fashion is one thing in that. I love to dress up daily but I don't take more time again. And today as we are going to meet the head boss, I can't go in a saree, business attire, or any gowns. I went downstairs again but my heartbeat was still so fast and I needed to show the angry expression on my face to hide my inner expressions. I saw that Noah, Herman, and Adele were there talking with that Arrogant Armani. Seeing Noah, Herman, and Adele all set in the business manners, I knew that I was late today. Not giving any glance to anyone, I straightly went into the kitchen but to my shock, Andres was already preparing our breakfast and Dario was helping him. "I'm sorry, Andre. I'm late" I smiled at him while looking around to guess what he was cooking
Riccardo's POV: I looked at Gio who was looking at me with wide eyes. Probably, he didn't expect the Queen to wish him with respect. Yesterday, my plan was to meet him in the morning and discuss with him about that woman but after Noah told me that they were going to meet someone dangerous, I thought of calling Gio with us, because, even if any problem comes I don't need to take my gun out unnecessarily. So, I messaged him to wait until my next order came. And, when Noah told me that we were going to Aventine from San Pietro, I told Gio to come to the historical monument estate street where he is living in between and I also messaged him to act like he is my friend when I became relaxed after the tension Ishita gave me early in the morning. Not in that way, but seeing her running like she saw the creepiest person made my anger rise as well as my tension. For the god's sake, I'm not any creep. But, seeing her panic when she told me that she was not doing any wrong thing while being
Riccardo's POV: I looked at her while trying to find a joke in what she said, but with her angry expression and the way she was looking at Gio with hopeful eyes, I knew that she was serious. Though I don't like that she is looking at Gio while I'm here, I can't do anything here. "Riccardo, why don't you yell at her now that she is the reason behind this threat to your life?" Noah asked me looking around and I didn't know what he was searching for. "Noah, if you don't have anything to eat, close your eyes and sleep," Ishita told him, and even when in this confusing state, seeing them talking nonsense and behaving like Tom and Jerry, I want to laugh…but then. "This hotel is closed for outsiders only Noah, waiters are still here. You can just order through that message box near you" I told him as I know about this hotel very well. "I'm proud of myself for making you my friend" he gave me a huge smile and started to order like we were having a get-together here. "Can you
Riccardo's POV: I was looking at her deeply until Gio nudged my shoulder making me come out of confusion. I looked over Gio and saw Noah looking at Ishita with a small smile and then he looked at me with the same smile. I went and sat beside Noah not knowing whether I should ask him about my confusion or not. I looked at her once again but she still didn't look at me. I looked at Gio and signaled him to take Ishita out and he understood me well. "Ishita…can you please come with me, I need to ask you something important" He hesitated at first but then I guess he remembered who he was. She looked at Gio for about a minute before turning towards Noah. After being with them, I was able to guess what was happening between them. She had first analyzed Gio on her own and now she is asking for her friend's permission. I was going to tell Noah to let her go but then he looked at me and Gio for a minute and nodded his head at Ishita like he analyzed me and Gio, not only Gio. And she
Ishita's POV: We all got inside the car after I and Gio completed our breakfast and I knew that Armani must have guessed that I was only going to stay with him to protect him. Not getting in the back seat, I got inside and sat in the passenger seat. And when I thought Noah would get in the driver's seat Armani got in the driver's seat and both Noah and Gio got in the back seat. "Go back Noah will drive the car," I told him but I could see the tense look on both Gio's and Noah's faces. "I know the way to my mansion" He arrogantly replied to me and started the car without even looking at me. When both of our lives are in danger, here we are playing the ignoring games. He is ignoring me from the morning and I don't know what I did wrong. I'm ignoring him because my stupid feelings are unstable whenever I'm near him. "Rabbit, should I ask Adele to pack your dresses from your house and leave them in Riccardo's mansion?" Noah asked me and suddenly I remembered something I forgot to
Ishita's POV: Standing in front of the huge glass door, I tried to peek inside to see him but I realized that this was the one side glass. "How the hell I open this?" I grunted not seeing any kind of locks on the door. "This is automated with face recognition" I heard Patio's voice from behind and I turned to look at him only to see him looking at the round design above the door and suddenly the door got opened. "Highly secured" I whispered knowing that the design was the identification camera and he just gave me a small smile and left the place as I stepped into the room. The door got closed again and my heartbeat started to rise hearing the sound of drums. Wait…what? Drums? I looked around the room to find the source of the sound or the man to whom this room belongs but I saw a huge work area with different kinds of sofas, more than 3 desks including a huge one like the CEO's desk and more than 4 laptops and computers and telephones. Did I get into any office rather
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
