Alessandro was sitting in the library reading novel. When Neha entered the library and cleared her throat to gain his attention .

He put down the book and smiled . “ Oh Mrs. Singh , so sorry I was so busy in reading book that I didn’t noticed your presence “ , he apologized .

“ It’s ok !! I don’t want to disturb you , so keep going on what are you doing “ , Neha replied with a smile .

“ Thanks Mrs. Singh “ , he greeted .

“ Hey!! How many times should I have to tell you that don’t call me like that it’s Neha for you “ , she scolded him .

“ Oh !! I forgot , I will keep it in my mind again Mrs. Neha “ , he said nervously .

Neha scoffed and said “ again Mrs. Singh “ , she complaint and rolled her eyes .

“ So sorry ,Mrs. .ah.. I mean Neha “ , he corrected himself and they laughed .

“ By the way what are you reading ??” , she asked while staring the books .

“ It’s just a novel on ware wolfs , Anjali had suggested me to read , so I thought to give it a try “ , Alessandro replied  with blushed face .

“ Then you should have to read it , don’t you know she gave the best knowledge of novels “ , Neha said excitedly .

“ Yeah !! I read the first few chapters of this novel and it seems interesting . I can’t believe that a women like her in interested in these kind of romantic stuff . I mean ,I had never saw this kind of nature of him . In college she always remain calm and straight forward person “ , he asked while rubbing his finger on his chin.

“ She was not like that she shows from outside , you know once she was a girl with the eyes full of dream, hopes , love and joy but her cruel fate snatched everything from her one by one “ , Neha confessed sadly .

“ If you don’t mind then could you please tell me that what happened to her , that her left cheek  got burnt” , asked Alessandro hesitantly .

Neha took a deep breath and said “ I don’t know what happened with her ,when I first met her she was ten years old , she was the cousin of Vikram , his father’s younger brother’s only daughter . I don’t know nothing about her but they said that in an fire accident Anjali’s both mother and father died , her guardian Raheem uncle said that . Anjali was so lost and sad from inside she never talked to anyone ,even she was afraid to come out because of her face .”

Alessandro feel so bad for her that poor girl had to lose her parents at the small age, although his parents died at his young age but his brother stood with him like a  father figure , he didn’t make him realize that he is an orphan .

“ You know Alessandro , she is the beautiful and kind hearted person I have seen till now . I remembered first time I saw her ,I got scared badly and ran away from her .Vikram and I are good friends but I hated whenever Vikram played with her , one day in my anger ,I pushed her down to the stairs , she got injured badly and broke her left leg and remain in coma for two days . I was so sacred that if she woke up she will tell the truth but she did the opposite to my expectation . She didn’t say anything and lied that she slipped her leg . Her lie was the harshest slap in my life that day I realized that how I was wrong . I apologized to her or guess what ??” , Neha smiled sadly .

“ She forgave you without holding any grudge against you , I know she is like that “ , Alessandro completed the answer .

“ Yeah!! She is special , from that day she made a special place in my heart, I tried to befriend with her and she accepted me with open heart . Me and Anjali became best friends . She helped me a lot in studies as, she is a true friend but not all our classmates loved to befriend with her , she was often bullied in class because of that mark , sometimes it’s her luck when I and Vikram come to save her sometimes she had to endure all the insults by himself “ , Neha explained with sad face .

“ Then when she met her husband ??” , Alessandro asked curiously .

“ She was in tenth standard when Dev transferred to our school , he was weak in studies so he needed help , as Anjali was always a bright student he asked for her help and she agreed to it . First Dev only talk to her when he needed her otherwise he ignored her but soon his heart melt by her innocence and kindness .He fall in love with her without caring of anyone’s views. First I and Vikram thought that he had bad intention to hurt Anjali but he proved us wrong , he saved many times when she was bullied . With Dev she again started living , she also started dreaming about her bright future with her . We were happy for her . Time passed and she graduated and Dev started his own business . He asked for her hand and Vikram agreed to it . They got married , that was the best day of her life , that day was the happiest moment of her life but her all happiness were not long lasted . “ , Neha stopped and a pregnant pause was between them.

“ Then what happened ??” , Alessandro break the silence .

“ She was so excited to start for her new life ,at that night suddenly Dev received an urgent call related to his business and he had to leave for another city for that . Dev wanted to cancel this meeting but it’s was the important one , he can’t risk his business so he had to leave for another city leaving behind his new bride . But Dev don’t know that it was the last day of his life . Next morning we got the news that Dev’s car had an accident due a heavy land slide and he is dead . For Anjali it’s the heart breaking news, her world shattered in tiny pieces . From that day she never smiled until today “, Neha said with heavy voice.

“ She is really a warrior “ , Alessandro complimented .

“ Thank you Alessandro because of you after many years she smile , she became happy “ , she thanked him and squeezed his hand .

“ It’s ok Neha , she deserve that and I promise ,I will fulfill her life with happiness “ he assured .

“ Thank you so much “ , she thanked .

“ Neha , Alessandro and Krish , dinner is ready !! “ , Anjali call them .

“ I don’t know my all shares and companies are in the name of Serena and Emma and siblings” , he replied .

“ f**k we are in grave danger , I know that b***h will definitely try to snatch the shares in the name of Emma . I know that kind of b***h better than you she will swallow your each hard earnings “ , Leo cursed and banged the table furiously .

“ I don’t know what should I have to do , f**k ,in my life I have never thought that my wife is a b***h “ , Alex screamed .

“ I have nothing to start my business from start . It’s all my fault “ , Alex blamed himself .

“ You are wrong we have something that will help you a lot to come out of danger “ , Leo informed with serious expression .

“ And what is it?? Look if you want you to use the shares of Alexandria and Alessandro than I will never do that even I have to come on street , it’s their right ,I can’t snatch it for my benefit “ , He asked seriously .

“ Calm down ,I am not asking about that , you forgot that ,I asked you to invest the shares in my cosmetic company “ , Leo asked .

“ Yeah!! But you know that it’s not working well and you know na competition is tough in our market “ , Alex replied .

“ But , at that time you and I didn’t paid any heed to it because of our other successful business  but now you can give it  and don’t forget you are the one who is capable to make the William empire to reach at the top   position in few years “ , Leo encouraged him .

“ But we had to start from beginning and I don’t know if I find any investors or not “ , Alex punched the wall in anger .

“ Don’t worry they will definitely agree to us because of you sharp brain . You will definitely built your empire again and this time much stronger than previous one “ , Leo answered confidently .

“ I hope your words will be real” , he scoffed .

“ I will try to arrange a meeting with some investors with you ,I hope soon we will start our work “ , Leo suggested and Alex nodded his head in yes .

“ NOW , b***h let play the game and now it’s our turn to play . Trust me I love to play filthy “ , Alex whispered and Leo blinked his eyes in agreement .
