AUTHORS POV
Flashback…
“Massimo be gentle okay, you will break the strings, they are delicate…”
Anamika said while teaching him how to play veena.
“Fuck this, I can’t be more gentle than this…”
He said whining like a child and she giggled at him.
“Give it to me, I’ll show you… See… Like this, use your fingers gently and play it like you are caressing your most delicate thing… Now try again…”
She showed him and handed him the veena back.
He took it and started to play, he did it this time… He was gentle…
“Wow, see you did it… I told you it’s easy…”
She said excited.
“No babygirl, you did it…”
He said keeping the veena aside and set her on his lap, snaking his hands around her waist and nuzzling in her neck.
She smiled and said while caressing his hair…
” Really?… How?…”
“I imagined you while playing it, you are the most delicate thing of my life…”
He said biting on her neck softly and she giggled.
“I am not that delicate Massimo, it’s you who is being too gentle with me, may I ask you why you are so gentle and caring with me?”
She asked looking into his eyes while caressing his cheeks.
” Because I want to, you are my angel…”
He replied pecking her lips.
“What if I am not an angel Massimo…”
She smirked.
” Then I am not a Saint either, tigress… Trust me, You haven’t seen my dark side yet…”
He said smirking.
Flashback ended…
Massimo woke up from his sleep, he hardly got 1 hour of sleep and in that too he was dreaming about her.
All the things Nick told him was making him confused and frustrated.
He wanted to talk to her but she was out of country.
“What did you do tigress?… Why did you destroyed your own family?…”
He said frustratingly running his fingers into his hair.
Even if he is the mafia king, he do protect his family. They respect and love each other as Family is their first priority. They don’t hurt and kill their family, no matter what… It’s a rule.
And he couldn’t understand why she did that to her own family.
TIME SKIP
After 3 days anamika landed back in Italy. Mr. Scott was with her, it was 9 in the morning when she came out of the airport, waiting for her car to arrive.
She was standing there outside looking through her e-mails when someone tugged on her jacket. It was a girl, in her early twenties, may be 21 or 22 years old. Her clothes were torn and dirty and they looked filthy, she was begger.
Mr. brown(bodyguard) came forward to stop her but anamika stopped him by raising her hand.
She looked at the girl and she was looking at Anamika with helpless eyes.
“What happened, do you need something?…”
Anamika asked her in gentle voice.
” I am hungry, please give me something to eat…”
She said almost on the verge of crying.
Anamika’s heart broke after hearing her.
She took of her jacket and made her wear it, covering her torn clothes.
“What’s your name? What happened? Why are you like this?”
She asked gently.
The girl looked at her and said…
“My name is Emily… My Parents died and my aunt kicked me out of the house. I don’t have anywhere to go…”
She said while sobbing.
Anamika opened her purse and hand her 500 Euro’s. Emily’s eyes widened at the money and she looked at her.
” I only have this much in cash, take it and buy something to eat… And take this card, go to this place and show them this card there. They will give you some decent job to do, you don’t have to beg on the streets anymore…”
She said smiling while handing her the card and the money.
Emily looked at her shocked, she was begging on the streets for so long and no one treated her like this, everyone pushed her away like she was some type of garbage… But this woman covered her in expensive jacket, gave her money and job too, it was hard for her to believe that someone like her still exists in this cruel world.
She started crying and hugged Anamika tightly, Anamika hugged her back too ignoring the fact that her expensive clothes were getting dirty and the smell that surrounded her told that she hadn’t bathed in a while.
She rubbed her back gently consoling her and said.
“It’s ok, you’re fine… Don’t cry, you are not alone, don’t loose hope, okay? Go to this place, they will take care of you and if anything happens, my people’s number is on the card, call them if anything wrong happens..”
“Thank you so much…”
She said smiling and wiping her tears, she thanked her many times greatfully. She is such a angel she thought before leaving.
Mr. Scott and her bodyguards were watching this scene with adoration in their eyes, it’s nothing new for them, they had seen Anamika doing things like this before.
This cruel and ruthless businesswoman shows her completely different side when it comes to poor and helpless people and that’s why they adore and protect her, their boss was a kind woman.
” Sometimes I wonder, why you named yourself stoneheart, Miss Sahay… When you always help needy people…”
Mr. scott asked amused.
“Because I know how it feels when you’re hopeless and no one is there to help you. It feels good when you become someone’s hope, it makes me feel alive… And there is no harm to help poor people, I have so much… If I can save someone’s life with this money and power, I will…”
She said looking at him smiling and he nodded in agreement.
Mr. Brown took of his jacket and placed it around her shoulder, it was chilly outside.
She thanked him with a small smile and drove back to her house when the car arrived.
On the other hand Massimo’s man showed him her video, they were recording everything whatever happened outside the airport and how she helped that poor girl.
And Massimo felt like banging his head on the wall after watching that video, his head was hurting like hell. This woman was making him go crazy.
Heartless and strict in business world and kind and gentle in the outer world.
Like she has two personalities…
“What the fuck are you doing Anamika?… Who are you?… A bitch or an angel… What’s your real face?… ”
He said confusingly.
He sent her a parcel With a beautiful dress in it, with a letter saying that…
” I am glad you came back, wear this tonight, I am taking you out, we need to talk. I missed you babygirl…”
Anamika received that parcel and smiled.
She was missing him too, so badly that she didn’t sleep at all in these three days, he has become her habit, her addiction. She was craving for him. She wanted to talk to him, she wanted to tell him that she loves him too.
And she will, she will tell him everything tonight… It was the right time now…
But things doesn’t always happens the way we want…
Someone was coming…
