Chapter 47: Ch.46/ Family Time
Alessandro's POV:-
I am analyzing some documents with some of my employees about the next venture of our company when my cabin door burst open and Marco walks inside looking completely livid. By looking at him I can tell that he definitely has something going on so I order my employees to leave us alone.
"Now will you tell me why you have come here so suddenly?" I ask leaning on my chair.
"How can you behave so calmly after learning about such a big thing? You didn't even think about telling me that Romil was Anupama's husband? How can you do that Alessandro? If Mama didn't tell me this morning then I think you would have never informed me." He lets out while pacing back and forth in front of my desk.
"If I remember correctly you were busy in enjoying your life with different girls to get out of your grief. So, how can I bother you with my family matters?" I sarcastically reply.
"Don't you dare to taunt me, Alessandro. You and I both know that Romil was my best friend too. I was also hurt after his sudden demise, especially after his liar of a mother told us that his wife was the reason behind his heart attack. But now when I know everything I can not keep silent without punishing that bitch." He rants and I can understand his emotions. Because Romil's mother not only deceived me but also Marco too
"First you need to calm down and sit." I tell him and he shakes his head in disbelief seeing how calm I am which is unusual. Nonetheless, he sits down across from me.
"I hope that you still send money to Romil's mother every month?" I ask in which he nods his head.
"Yes, I do but I will stop from now on." He replies. Romil's mother manipulated us saying that there was no one to look after the family because Romil's brother was still in college and Romil's father couldn't
work because of his poor health. So, Marco and I decided to send money to her every month.
"Don't stop right now. If you stop so suddenly then she can think that something must have happened and I want to catch her in the spot." I inform him.
"What do you mean by catching her in the spot?" He asks looking lost making me smirk.
"Did you really think that I will let that person go so easily who had abused my wife? Who had lied to us about our best friend's death?" I ask and his eyes widen when he realizes what's going on in my mind.
"God help that old lady because I can see her future which will be full of tears and regret by messing with your favorite persons." He replies with a smirk.

After finishing my work in the company I decide to go home and surprise my princess who is wanting to go to the zoo. So, I am going to take her and my Cara to the San Diego Zoo tomorrow which is two hours away from the mansion. I know it will be a little long-distanced for my princess and that's why I have booked a penthouse suite in the five-star hotel nearby the zoo to stay the night there.
I have already informed Anhuphama about my surprise for our daughter so when I arrive home I notice that she has packed our bags for the little vacation. I hug her from behind before rubbing her still flat belly. But I can't wait to see her waddle around the mansion with her baby bump.
"How was work?" She asks while leaning on me.
"Not so bad because I have signed a new deal and will start to work on it from the next month." I reply and kiss her neck.
"Hmmm, Congratulations but can you stop kissing me?" She mumbles while trying to muffle her moan.
"Why will I stop?" I ask while kissing behind her ear.
"Because we need to eat dinner and sleep early." She replies with a trembling voice. I abruptly stop kissing her before turn her around to look at me.
"What? You didn't eat dinner yet?" I ask while she averts her eyes from me. But I am not having it so I grip her chin gently and make her look at me.
"Cara, you are supposed to eat your dinner on time and then you need to take your vitamins. So can I know the reason why you haven't eaten dinner?" I ask as gently as I can.
"I was waiting for you to come back and didn't realize that it's getting late." She replies with a pout. I sigh before pulling her to my chest and run my fingers through her hair.
"That's very nice of you to wait for me. But my love, you also have to look at yourself. You need to eat on time so that our little one can grow up well. I am not saying that you are careless because I know how much you care about our unborn baby. However, if you don't eat on time from now on then I will have to stop going to the company and stay at home to look after you." I say in which she shakes her head.
"No, don't do that or I will get crazy because I am sure you will keep a very hard look on my daily schedule." She mumbles not removing her face from my chest.
"Then you must do as I have told you to do from now on." I let out.
"Fine, you win. I will eat every meal on time but you have to promise me that you will try to come home before my dinner time. Because I don't like to eat without you." I chuckle at her cute request.
"I think I can do that. But for now you go and prepare our plates. I will come downstairs after changing my work clothes." I tell her and get a beaming smile from her in return.

The next day
"Papa where we go?" My princess asks from her car seat.
"Papa is going to give you a surprise princess." I reply while driving the car.
"But we no take puppiesh. They miss me." She replies with a pout making her mum kiss her on the lips.
"They need to look after the house baby." Anhuphama says from the front seat.
"Okay." Our daughter replies before looking out of the window at the scenario passing by. We are going to the hotel first and after eating some breakfast we will leave for the zoo. I have already purchased our tickets online so we don't need to worry about waiting in long lines.
After a few hours of journey, I stop the car in the parking lot of the hotel where we are going to stay. Both Anhuphama and I get out of the car before I bring out our daughter from her car seat. I give the car keys to one of the guards who have come with us and walk inside the hotel. I retrieve the keys of the penthouse suite after talking to the manager of the hotel who has been waiting at the reception area to welcome us. After arriving at the suite the first thing I do is to order breakfast for us because I know my princess and Cara must be hungry as we didn't eat anything before coming here.
"Alessandro, why have you booked such a big room when we are only staying for the day?" Anhuphama asks looking around the suite.
"Cara I want to give you and our babies the best in everything. So, it doesn't matter if we are staying for one day or one week. What matters for me is that you guys are comfortable." I reply while wrapping my arms around her waist before bending down to kiss her on the lips. She smiles at the kiss however
kisses me back with the same passion. Suddenly a thud on the floor startles both of us so we look at the source and notice that our princess is glaring at us while her water bottle is laying on the floor.
"You no kiss me, Papa." She complains with a huff making Anhuphama and I laugh. I walk up to the little miss demanding before picking her in my arms.
"Who says that Papa doesn't kiss you?" I ask her.
"Me say." She replies sassily.
"Okay, then I will only kiss your mum-mum and big brothers." I tell her but her lips tremble while her eyes start to feel with water making me panic.
"Oh no piccolo, don't cry. Papa is just joking with you." I let out while hugging her.
"Me no wike joke." She replies while sniffling a little. I rub her back and sit down on the couch with her on my lap.
"Fine, I will not joke with you anymore. Look, I am holding my ears." I say and hold my ears to show her that I am really sorry. She looks at me for some time then a mischievous smile appears on her face making my eyes widen when I realize that she is just playing with me.
"You little devil." I say and start to tickle her sides making her giggle.
"You both keep playing and I am going to get fresh." By saying this Anhuphama goes out from there with a smile. I stop tickling the naughty princess before giving a lot of kisses on her cheeks.
Soon our order deliver to the suite and I start to feed my princess who seems to like her favorite Blueberry Pancakes. Anhuphama also joins us after a few minutes and I give her the plate of Spinach Scrambled Eggs with fresh strawberries at the side. After drinking my coffee and eating a pancake I go to the room to get ready. Anhuphama has already changed her clothes so she just needs to get our
daughter ready. Soon enough the three of us are fully ready to go to the zoo but our princess is still unaware of her surprise. So, I am extremely excited to see her reaction when she will see the animals in the zoo.
When we get into the lobby of the hotel, the guards are already waiting for us there. I have also booked rooms for them so I don't need to worry about them staying anywhere else.
After getting inside the car I start driving and within twenty minutes we are in front of the zoo gate. I look behind to see that my princess has a confused look on her face as she is trying to see why there are so many people around the area. I chuckle and get out of the car while Anhuphama unbuckles our daughter's car seat. I take our daughter in my arms and hold Anhuphama's hand before going inside the entrance of the zoo.

"Do you know where we are baby?" Anhuphama asks our daughter who shakes her head.
"We are at the zoo piccolo." I inform her.
"Really Papa? We see many animals?" She asks with wonder.
"Of course baby. Papa has promised you earlier that he will take you to the zoo if you are a good girl. So, now we are going to see many animals in the zoo." I reply making her squeal in excitement.
"Me lub you, Papa." She says while kissing me on the cheek before doing the same to her mother.
"We love you too baby." Anhuphama replies with a smile.
The whole day we roam around the zoo watching different kinds of animals and birds. The contentment on the little princess's face is a sight to see. We see Raccoon, Hummingbird, Cockatoo, Peacock, Python, Anaconda, Camel, Leopard, Lion, Tiger, Sloth Bear, Giraffe, Koala, Giant Panda and many more. But the most my princess has liked to see is the Gray wolf who reminds her of her puppiesh. We
also get to feed the giraffe which is not easy for Anhuphama because she gets scared of seeing the giant animal. However, after a lot of encouragement she manages to feed the giraffe who takes the tree branch from her hand very gently.
When I notice that Anhuphama is getting tired by walking, I decide to leave the zoo as it is getting quite late. However, little princess starts whining not wanting to leave so soon but I promise her that I will bring her again soon.
"We can spend some more time here, Alessandro." Anhuphama says.
"No Cara, so much walking is not good for you so we are going back." I reply not leaving a place of argument. I know she doesn't want to upset our daughter but she also needs to think about our unborn child that is growing inside her. Both the mother-daughter duo pout at me but I don't change my decision.
After getting out of the zoo I tell them that we are going to have lunch at a nearby restaurant. Yet they give me silent treatment making me shake my head at their antics. However, when I park the car in front of the restaurant they complain that they are both hungry. So, we get inside the restaurant and ask for a private booth because I don't want any disturbance from others. I also ask for a booth for our guards not wanting them to starve.
"Papa." My princess calls out to me from her high chair which is provided by the restaurant.
"Yes, baby?" I ask looking up at her.
"Me sworry." She replies looking sad.
"Why are you sorry baby?" I ask confusingly.
"Me no listen you. So me sworry." She replies making me pinch her cheeks lightly.
"It's alright princess. You just wanted to spend more time in the zoo but your mum-mum was getting tired. So, we needed to leave from there. However, next time we will spend more time with all the animals." I tell her and in return, she gives me a bright smile.
"I am sorry too, Alessandro. I am older than our daughter yet I whined when you only thought about my wellbeing." Anhuphama says from her seat. I put my hand on top of her before giving her an assuring smile.
"There is no need to say sorry to me, Cara. You both are two gems for me and it hurts me to see you both upset. So, don't stress over simple matters and I am promising that I am absolutely alright. Now, let's order something to eat because this time I am also hungry." I reply making her laugh.
Soon after the conversation, a waiter comes to take our order. I order Chimichurri Fish Tacos and Grilled Vegetable Caprese With Pesto while Anhuphama orders California-style Baja Shrimps along with Pickled Onion Rings.
"What do you want to eat princess?" I ask.
"Me wan chikin." She replies while coloring on the papers her mother has given her.
"One plate of Chicken Nuggets and Banana Split for my daughter." I order the waiter who quickly writes down everything before telling me that it will take fifteen minutes to get everything ready.
Exactly after fifteen minutes our lunch arrives and we dig in our food. Anhuphama and I feed our daughter from our plates when she refuses to eat any more chicken nuggets. So, I finish the rest of the chicken nuggets as Anhuphama isn't feeling like eating chicken. I pay the bill and leave a hundred dollar tip for the waiter before going out of the restaurant with my Cara and our princess.
When we come back to the hotel all of us are completely exhausted so after taking quick showers we decide to take some hours of nap. However, I get a phone call from Samuel so I excuse myself and
receive the call.
"Yes, Samuel?" I ask over the phone.
"Sorry to disturb you boss but I have some important news for you." He replies.
"Hmm tell me what you have to say." I tell him.
"Boss, Sebastian is the friend of the owner of the company who is not signing the deal with Mrs. Bianchi's company." I clench the phone tightly in anger.
"Take that fucker to the warehouse and give him a nice treatment till I come back tomorrow. Let's see if Sebastian can save his friend from my wrath." I reply cockily.
"What about Samantha White?" He asks.
"I have already told Bianca what to do so for now you only care about Sebastian's friend. I will tell you my next plan after I come back." I answer and cut the call. They think that they can do whatever they want and I won't do anything then they are extremely foolish. Because once you mess with my family, you mess with me. Now, let's start the game.
