Riccardo's POV: After successfully coming to the door of the terrace, we threw the table that we were holding as a protective cover and went inside the hotel. I was about to kiss her again when I heard a throat-clearing sound behind us. I saw Noah standing there with a smirk and a glint of happy tears pooling in his eyes. He wiped that fast enough before Ishita noticed and I raised my eyebrows to ask him what the matter was. "I think my rabbit is not afraid of thunders anymore," He said and left the place yelling that lunch was ready. I felt like we only had breakfast a few minutes ago but then looking at the watch I understood that it was already past lunchtime and I was hungry after my first kiss. I grabbed Ishita's arm and started to descend the stairs but she was a little bit hesitant. I know what is running inside her mind. She must be probably thinking that I'm going to kill Gio and Battista and yeah I'm planning to kill them both. They don't need to play behind my back t
Riccardo's POV: I just made myself comfortable on the couch that was placed near the window. I must appreciate myself for controlling my damn anger well which is rising in me second to second thinking that the bastard is one step ahead of me in this. I thought he must be hiding and I needed to find him out but then I didn't expect to step ahead near me. It's usually not my thing to let others play while I sit and watch. Of course, I would insert the bullet in the person's head even before he starts thinking anything. And, in this, I need to keep my sane for my Queen. She is ahead of me in everything and she will be. I just don't want to be a dominant one. I don't want to keep her behind me. Thinking this, I remembered the two men standing near the closed door who became close to my Queen that easily when I tried hard. I still couldn't believe that fact. "You both can step inside" I spoke looking out the window and suddenly a thought that my Queen is also loving this place creep
Ishita's POV: Seeing the tense yet happy environment around me is probably the most provocative thing for the protectiveness and protection of my family and friends. I looked at Parveen who was busily chatting with Noah and Khan. I smiled at them and at the same time, I felt someone's eye on me. Knowing that it was not Armani, I looked over my shoulder and saw Adele looking at me with a sweet smile. I guessed the reason and it's Parveen. All of the years, we had both been the only girls around our group, and now having Parveen with us, she also must have been feeling happy. I returned my smile to her and this is a kind of telepathy in our group and we don't need large words to converse. I came out of my thoughts when I heard the clicking sound of the door. I immediately turned towards the room and I saw Ric walking out with a smile on his face. I want to call him by this short name but then I want him to beg me to call him by that. I'm evil, I know right? I smirked thinking about t
Ishita's POV: Looking at the man who was just sitting like nothing happened, or should say he didn't do anything, I decided to confront him. "Armani, you just can't kidnap them like that. For the sake of god, they are billionaires and almost the whole country must be in chaos now. And, poor people must have searching them their asses off" I told him thinking about the possible scenes that must have been happening now in India but he just gave me his signature smirk. "Love, I know there must be some people who are really worrying about your parents and searching for them but there also must be a few people who must be working for that bastard and informing him about the situation. If I even tell the higher officials the truth, I'm clear that it'll surely reach that bastard's ears and he will start to think about other ways to get you" He spoke his point of view, and even before I say anything, Gio's brain started to work. "Are you sure that he won't find out this play?" I looked
Riccardo's POV: I was sitting on the chair in my office which is actually inside my bedroom. Yeah, we all returned to my mansion except Herman and Andres. We decided to make my mansion the base as well as underground for us until we got that bastard in our arms. Herman and Andres can't be sitting here as they both need to run the business of 4 people and I don't need to care about my business at all. Though, I'm not there everything will run smoothly because of the fear and even a few of my business partners will take care of that. And, now as we can't handle that hotel project where Ishita and I signed a deal, we decided to postpone that and I won't be having any loss. Thinking about all these and clenching and unclenching the smiley ball in my hand at the same time made me feel a bit relaxed. I'm not angry but I'm tense just because I haven't seen Ishita for more than an hour. The reason is completely bullshit. She wanted to talk with Adele and Parveen and possibly have the girl'
Riccardo's POV: The person in front of me looks completely different from what I'm used to now. In case, you're confused…I'm talking about Noah. We both came back to my room while I was sulking. We didn't go to my office room but we both made ourselves comfortable on the balcony sofa of my room and he seemed impressed about it. "Ishita doesn't know that you have a balcony here, right?" He asked me and I too nodded my head as she didn't notice that last day. "She likes to spend time on her balcony and yeah if you can try planting some small plants here. She will love that" Noah helped me to know her better and I only smiled giving him a nod. That was the last sentence he spoke in the last hour and from then we both are looking at the files in our hands about the mafia leaders who might or might not helping that bastard. Noah was serious as hell as he was going through the file taking everything within him and I looked at the sun that had started to rise up. I sighed knowi
Ishita's POV: Leaving Ric's mansion for a shitty big day as a group of 10 people is not somewhat what I thought will happen when I got the first threat from that bastard. I thought it would be me and Noah who would be handling the situation like always with the help of our friends but now having the three countries' highest mafia dons with us feels like a blessing. But at the same time, it gives me chills thinking about the safety of normal innocents who might or might not get injured or even die. Yesterday when Riccardo told me that it'll take some time for that bastard to find out about our parents and then jump into the next plan, I thought it'd at least take a week but after dinner, he informed us that he must have found out about my parents and will possibly start the attack on us tomorrow. While I was confused not knowing how he was able to do everything within a short period, Gio told me that it was the mafia and that bastard was even the head of some mafia which gave him th
Riccardo's POV: If I ever wanted a friend, I wanted him/her to be like Ishita or Noah. Their friendship is everything a person wants in their life. I know I have said this many times but now seeing her crying her eyeballs out knowing that Noah is shot, I know that this is going to be tough. My men couldn't able to follow the cars and now I needed to tell Ishita. I looked at her as she was leaning against my shoulder and wiping her continuously flowing tears. "Ishita, please don't lose your confidence. Why are you crying now when said that we need to find him soon" I asked trying to get her out of her miserable state. "I don't know but I couldn't help. He must be hurt badly. What if he got shot in any fragile parts of the body? What if he couldn't able to cope with the pain?" She started to ramble and as of the situation, I can do only one thing. I turned on my MacBook wanting to show her the video I was watching. From the corner of my eyes, I also saw Gio and her other friends
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
