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
Riccardo's POV: I don't know whether my little speech made any difference but watching her controlling herself and looking at the Macbook again, I felt happy knowing that my words had an effect on her even in this situation. "Baby, look there is nothing here to tense, calm down and look at them, you can able to find out," I told her but regretted it immediately as she glared at me. "My friend's life is in danger" She declared giving me the look of my badass woman and again started to rummage through the maps all of a sudden like I expected, her eyes glittered and she looked at me with a huge smile and a small hope. "Armani look here, the place where the internet got disconnected was a surrounding of a mall that just got newly opened in that place around two months ago. I think they must have the secret passageway to that underground from that mall. That's why they must have taken her dead body to that mall and I think there is no internet in that secret underground passage. Com
Ishita's POV: I couldn't…I just couldn't understand what was happening around us and what was going on inside my brain Riccardo. It's like we are experiencing the time in different parallel universes all the time. We met, we fought, we coped up, we kissed, we started a relationship, we planned, we failed…and all these happened within a week. I just couldn't think anything straight. I know that I behave like bipolar and then he is here having a different personality all the time. One time I see him in anger, another time flirting, another time longing, another time romancing, another time helping, another time dominating and ordering, and always doing something opposite to the time log. He is the one who told me that he'll be behind me in everything but he is always one step ahead of me. I'm not complaining and I can't complain. If it's not about him then we couldn't have found out about Noah. I thought I was best at protecting my loved ones and helping society but s
Riccardo's POV: All I want to do now is destroy that good-for-nothing bastard. I'm still waiting for her to answer while gazing at her face trying not to let my demon out. If her face showed fear, I would have been able to control myself as there was no way I was going to let something happen to her but for the love of god, her face is showing confusion, and more than that her eyes are showing CONCERN. She still didn't answer me and the time went fast but freaking slow. I can myself hear the sound of teeth gritting as I'm clenching my jaws but I lost the last rope of patience when I saw a smile broke out on her face. "Answer me, Ishita" I almost yelled making her flinch back slightly as I had my arms beside her, I knew she wouldn't fall back. "He is from my…childhood and…" She is just dragging her words making me furious. "Don't play with my patience, Ishita. Tell me everything about him and you" This time I yelled at her and I believed that she wouldn't think tha
Riccardo's POV: Knowing her pains is enough to let all the strings that are holding my demon. After hearing her, a strange kind of protectiveness filled me that I needed to be withher mentally too...Not only physically. We both just stood there in eachother's embrace for about 10 minutes while having my eyes on that hut praying to Noah that he should make it as he has a special place in her life. "Love, go freshen up yourself," I told her as we became relaxed but still, I know she needs Noah beside her now. She went inside the room and I messaged the gang for some new things that should be secret until Ishita and her friends knew everything. After that, I went inside the room and heard the knock on the door. I knew who is it, so I opened the door seeing that Ishita was already inside the washroom. Like expected Gio and Battista were standing there with two plates. I let them inside and they silently set the plate on the side table and left after giving me a nod that seemed determ
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
