Ishita's POV: I was about to go into the kitchen following Battista but I was dragged by someone to the corner and it didn't take me more than a minute to guess. He caged me between him and the wall and I took a deep breath knowing why he was doing this stupidity. I didn't look at him as after the talk I had with Battista, I knew I would throw myself at him and hug him tightly if I saw his eyes. Ignoring looking at his eyes, I focused my look on his jawline but trust me it was hard to control myself from that. "What do you want, now?" I asked holding my chest to show him that he couldn't dominate me. "Explanation" Oh…I know you want that but I won't give you now. "Sorry, the explanation is unavailable. Do you want anything else or leave me? I need to go and meet my monkey" I told him still not looking into his eyes. "You're not going anywhere without giving me an explanation and stop looking at my jawline before I lose control over me. Look at my eyes" He whispered in
Riccardo's POV: Exactly right after we all settled in the dining table, we heard the rustles outside the dining hall. While Gio, Battista, and Khan took their guns, Noah and Herman started to laugh making all of us confused. "Guys, cool. Adele and Andres are coming. They must be searching us" Ishita told them and that's before she even completed her sentence, both Adele and Andres came inside the dining hall and they were also shocked to see Gio. Like before, Herman explained the situation and they too settled down with us at this huge dining table. And they too got shocked seeing Noah smiling at Parveen. And Ishita signaled them something making them smile widely. She also introduced Parveen as Khan's sister and Andres looked at Battista with the question mark. "Don't you have any sister?" He asked him out of the blue and when I wondered why the businessman was talking stupidly like this, I understood he was trying to be a friend here, not a business tycoon. "I don't have a
Noah's POV: She dragged us to one of the guest rooms in the left corridor and this is the room where I and Andres stay if our group stays in this penthouse on any day. I was not confused when I saw Ishita hugging Parveen but then I noticed Parveen was shaking in fear and all the way through the room, I was only looking at her. She didn't look like a badass like how she looked in the morning but a fragile girl who is afraid of the whole world. Ishita made her sit on the bed and she too sat near her. She took the glass of water and gave it to her but she was still shaking in fear. So, Ishita made her drink water and hugged her again. I got more confused when I heard Ishita whispering to her that she'd be safe and she wouldn't come near her again. I kneeled down in front of them and looked at Ishita but she signaled me to talk to her. But, how can I talk when I don't know about anything? "Parveen…do you wanna share that with him? Trust me he also went through that pain. He
Riccardo's POV: If anyone asks me what is the most irritating moment, I would reply without a second thought that watching your girlfriend and your employees getting together well leaving you in the middle. Just looking at Ishita, Gio, and Battista conversing like the lost long friends sitting leisurely in the living room couches makes me want to smack both those underbosses but here I'm stuck with cutting vegetables. Yes, I'm at the dining table and cutting the vegetables where Noah and Andreas are cooking our lunch in the kitchen. Another irritating thing is, that a couple is sitting right side to me and eating each other faces. You might have guessed it right, It's Adele who is sitting on Herman's lap and both are kissing each other's life out for the past 15 minutes. "Can't you guys get any room? Herman, this is your penthouse. Why don't you take her to your room?" I sighed for the umpteenth time in the past 15 minutes but again got the same response. "We are okay here, Ric
Riccardo's POV: I showed her…I showed how to kiss real with passion when she was just pressing her lips on me and now she is looking at me like I made some mistake and breathing heavily. "What…what was that?" She whispered touching her lips but winced maybe feeling the pain because of my soft biting on her lips. "Why the hell do you bite my lips, Armani?" She yelled holding my collar and having her close to me, all the desires that I never showed started to flow. Wrapping my arms around her waist I pulled her more into me and her expression was worth it. "Why did you pull that stunt, baby?" I asked her wanting to know why all of a sudden she thought like that and I knew her pretty brain was trying to play with her. "I…I'm sorry. I just wanted to kiss you before…you know…before he come and take me…" I didn't let her finish and again started to kiss her. Stupid girl…my stupid girl has thought that he will come and touch her.
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
