12.Let's cook
Last Updated:
2024-01-22 23:24:16Zoya's POV
Renzo has been avoiding me for the past few days. I think he is regretting the kiss we shared but I surely am not regretting it(you can call me needy if you want ) because it was my first kiss and it felt amazing. By 5 pm I went downstairs. I saw the maids cleaning the kitchen and Renzo's mom was watching over them. I felt guilty for staying up in my room most of the time without helping my mother-in-law but you can't blame me because she had told me to leave all the things under her control.
I went over to her. " Mom can I cook today please" I whined like a baby. " Wow from where did you suddenly get this thought" she exclaimed. "Nothing. Just thought that I could cook for everyone." I say. "Ok. What materials would you require to cook the food? Do you want the maid's help." she started bombarding me with questions. " No I don't want the help of the maids and here is the list of the items I need". I say giving her a list. "Oh.. you have come prepared, you are a bit naughty aren't you. But you present yourself to be very innocent," she says with a small smile. I just smile shyly at her.
After few minutes
The servant enters the house with the items on the list. I go to the kitchen and start cooking. I was making a few dishes that my mom taught me. While cooking I just hum a few songs to make time fly and to not feel tired.
After an Hour
I completed cooking and went to my room to take a bath. After taking a bath I went to the kitchen and arranged the dishes on plates. It looked and smelled good. I hope that they like it. I have only cooked for my parents and my father would always be like " Bahut achchha beta. Khanna achchha hai"(Very good child, the food tastes good) and my mom would be like "Konjum uppu venumnu nenaikiren" (I think it needs a bit of salt). She is always like that because she wants me to be a better version of myself. I miss them. Thinking about them, I make the table, place the dishes on the table and ask a maid to call everyone for dinner. They all come down for dinner. I pulled Mom to a side and asked her to not tell anyone that I cooked the food. She too agreed. They all sat down and their eyes showed a sense of happiness on seeing the food in front of them.
They all start eating. Soon the room was filled with sounds of pleasure on eating the food. I left out the breath that I was holding. I am happy that they liked the food. As I got involved in my world, I felt a hand brush against mine. I turned to look at a grinning Renzo. In case you forgot I am supposed to sit beside him at the dining table. He came near me and said " The food is really tasty. Those hands of yours are talented. I would like to see what else they are good at." I look at him with an open mouth. Let's leave the second part where he wants to see what my hands are good at and come to the first part how in the world did he know that I cooked the food? Mom would not have told him maybe as the dishes are new he would have thought that I cooked them. Just stop overthinking...I tell myself and start eating.

Renzo Zoya has something to ask you", my mom starts speaking. "Want do you want?" I ask her but she still doesn't look at me. I wait for a minute and when she doesn't speak up I walk towards her and she starts walking backwards when she feels that I am very close to her. At last her legs come into contact with the table and she stops moving. I wait for her to answer. "I don't have all day, you know," I say to her. She slowly starts speaking.

Zoya's POVI have been crying for I don't know how long. I felt a presence in my room, I looked up and found Renzo standing there with a confused face. I quickly looked down because I didn't want to see his eyes. After all, I know that if I did I would cry even more. He came and sat near me and turned me to look at himself. When I didn't look at him he placed a finger under my chin and lifted my face to look at him. As soon as I saw his face tears started flowing down from my eyes without any obstruction. He pulls me to himself and asks me what was wrong. I try to control my crying and slowly start speaking.Before a few hoursAfter the class got over the students started leaving the class one by one.

"Get the professor who was with Zoya during the last class," I tell to the person on the other side. I get a reply "Yes sir".I go back to the room and lay beside her pulling her towards me. I need my rest because tomorrow is going to be a big day. Slowly I drift off to sleep. Next morningI wake up to movement near me. I open my eyes and see Zoya trying to push my hand away from her."

Zoya's POV"So cute," he says. And my dear people it has been confirmed that the greatest mafia leader Renzo is crazy or else how could he just kill a person and say to you that you are cute? I think he is bipolar. After a few minutes, we left the warehouse and returned home. While returning we had lunch at a restaurant. As soon as we entered the restaurant all eyes were on us. Renzo leads me to a lone corner table. We have our lunch in silence. "You still have that memory hanging around, don't you?" he asks. "Huh?" I ask confused. Your face changed a bit while I held your hands and you changed it soon, but I noticed it. " Oh yeah. It's lingering around but I felt better after punching him." I say." What can we do to make you happy?" he asks. I just shrug my shoulders. He thinks for a few minutes and then says "Go on a date with me". I was looking at him to confirm that I heard him right. He kept his face straight confirming what he just said. "OK," I tell him in a calm tone but

Zoya's POV Wow... is all that came to my mind. I didn't think that he would put this much effort into a person like me. I have always dreamed about my first date and this which is in front of me is beyond my imagination. It was just perfect, no it was ethereal.He pulled out the chair for me and stood by my side. " Good evening miss. I will be your waiter and companion for the night. Would you like a drink?" he says in a funny voice which makes me chuckle." No. Thank you" I tell him as I don't drink. After serving our food he sits down beside me. We eat in silence until he starts speaking. "You know I have been planning on asking you this for a long time. It's just I think that we should give this marriage a chance. If it doesn't work we can go on our different paths. I think we should try to understand each other and build up our relationship. What do you say? Shall we give it a try?" I stay silent for a few minutes before I reply. "I think that would be great. You have been nothin

Renzo's POVThe dumbfounded look on her face on seeing the fireworks was enough proof that I had done a good job in the arrangements. As she was admiring it I was busy admiring her. Her face was glowing under the light of the sky. As I was checking her out she slowly turned towards me and the next thing I knew I was kissing her. After an intense kissing section, we break apart (and by the intense section I mean that I was kissing her and she just allowed me, I must make sure to teach her how to kiss). She goes back to watching the sky but I didn't miss to notice the blush on her face. While I was watching her I heard some shuffling sounds around the bushes, immediately I pressed the button on my phone informing my men that someone was spying on us. I knew that something like this would happen so I had my men surround the whole place. "Shall we go home?" I ask her. She nods her head. I don't want her getting hurt because I know what the people hiding behind the bushes are capable of.

Zoya's POVIt felt like I was coming back after years when it had only been a few months As we started the journey to my parent's house in his car I had a feeling of deja vu. But the last time I was very uncomfortable with him but today I feel a bit safe being with him. We reach my home and ring the doorbell. My mom opens the door with a maid close behind her holding the aarthi plate. She makes us stand together and encircles the plate in front of us. After completing all the traditional welcoming practices she pulled me into a hug and just smiled at Renzo. We settle ourselves inside while my dad comes down. "Hi, Dad. How are you? "I ask him with a small smile. "I am fine beta. No one informed me of your arrival," he says looking at my mom. "Nivin can we talk for a moment" Renzo interrupts. He told me that he was here for a business trip but what does Dad have to do with that maybe it's related to the mafia. "Today we are having a prayer at our house for the betterment of your f

Zoya's POVWhile I went to the room after the poojas I found him sleeping so peacefully. Apart from his large frame, he looked like a baby sleeping peacefully. I had asked the maids to give him food so that's not an issue. I was busy admiring him when I realized that he was sleeping in my room on my bed, now where would I sleep? My mom would have asked the maids to keep our bags in the same room. I went downstairs. " Mom" I called. " What do you need" she questioned me. " I need another room", she gave me her judgemental look. " It's just Renzo's sleeping peacefully and he took the entire bed for himself, I don't have any space to sleep in it," I say in a slow voice hoping that she will believe it. " Oh really. Let me come and check" she said and dragged me along with her to my room. When we entered the room Renzo was sleeping in a corner leaving me a lot of space to sleep in. " It looks like the problem is solved. Now you can sleep in the bed, can't you?" she says. " Yes absolut

There's too much tension between us, but we are good at hiding it. We reached the destination and I let the waiter know our names and he led us to our table. The restaurant was awesome and was ventilated with the natural breeze of the sea and was packed with people."This restaurant is so beautiful", Zoya says as we take our seats. I nod my head in agreement.She orders lobster in butter sauce and I get a steak for the main course. "Would you like to have wine with your dish", the waiter asks. "I will have red wine and just water for my wife," I say while looking at Zoya to confirm that she doesn't want a drink. She smiles back at me reassuring me that she is fine with water."I remember reading a book once where they have beach view dinner and later on have sex on the other one the other en
The Mafia's Indian Bride 32. Blushing
Zoya's POVMauritius is a beautiful country, with greenery and mind-blowing sceneries surrounding almost every bit of the area. Our stay here has gone by very fast. We visited some of the famous tourist spots. Being with Renzo made it feel romantic though I found the places pretty boring, I enjoyed his company. We also visited the local markets and once they found out that we were not native people, they just skyrocketed the price but luckily we were saved by our tour guide. It is similar to India, once they confirm that you are not Indian they charge the highest price which can only be brought down if you have the great bargaining power of Indian Mom. We also visited some malls and Renzo was on a secret shopping spree for some time leaving me at the coffee shop. Since then, I have wondered why he has been so secretive, that he did not let me be close to that shopping bag. The only thing I know is that it is a surprise for our dinner date and that's today. I am begging for the evenin

All the arrangements have been made for your trip. You just have to pack and leave. Even if you don't pack anything it's fine," he says giving a cheeky grin to my mother. She too blushes. Oh god, these people. I look at Zoya and she has the same confused expression as me."And I shall not listen to any arguments made against it. You both are leaving tomorrow" my dad says.We both just nod."Can I at least know where we are going?"
The Mafia's Indian Bride 30. The Plan
Renzo's POVSoon after, I get the information about where Zoya is, I contact Naveen and Kate to let them know. My mind was running at 100 km per hour to devise a plan. As I was thinking I remembered some important information which would help me. I went through my old video files. After searching for some time I found what I was searching for. I played the video and was happy with what I saw. I took out my phone and dialled the person who would be of help to me. " Hello," I say into the phone but the only thing I hear is a laugh. " Did you think you can convince me to give the location of your wife, its never going to happen. I want you to suffer like I did" he says. " Before you end the call please see the video I have sent you", I say. Silence follows. After a few minutes I hear things shattering and a loud scream."He used me.
